6 Month Checkup

Today was our six month checkup with our baby doctor. Everything is looking great! Steph and Mom went with me to hear the heartbeat. It was hard for the doctor to find at first since Eli was moving constantly!! The doctor told me to watch out, he's going to be really active! Like I didn't know that! We finally heard the sweet, little sound and it was beating at about 150 beats a minute. Dr. Pease said that I was measuring big, I told her we breed big babies, and she said that they would keep an eye out on the growth. My weight is good, I freaked out a little on the scales, but she said it was nothing to worry about that I should have gained quite a bit this month. Next month Scott will be going with me to my final monthly checkup, and then I will continue to go every 2 weeks! I will be in my third trimester soon and can't believe just how fast it has gone! He will be here before we know it!!

Father's Day



Today was Scott's first Father's Day, and boy was it overwhelming for him! The day started off by him being able to actually see my belly move when Eli was kicking and squirming around. He had been able to feel him, but this was a whole other experience! Eli was really moving when Daddy read a book to him. What a miracle!! I still can't believe I have a little person inside of me! After we had breakfast in bed, which he fixed for me since my ankles were the size of melons, we got up to finish our Father's Day shopping. I made a French Silk pie which was to die for to take to his parent's house. My mom, dad, and Steph also came over to have dinner. We had a great day and Scott got plenty of baby things with Daddy on them! After we got home we just sat and cried and talked about how lucky we are! We can't wait to see our baby boy!!

22 Weeks!



Today I am 22 weeks pregnant and 1 day! Tonight we went out for our 6th Anniversary to the Corner Wine Bar in Broadripple. Our Anniversary is actually tomorrow, but with Father's Day we figured we should get our dinner out of the way of the next day's activities! It is so hard to believe that 6 years have already flown by, it has gone so fast!! Scott and I had a great time talking and laughing at all the interesting people passing by in Broadripple. My favorite part of the evening was the chocolate mousse!!!

Baby Boy


For those of you that have not heard yet, we are having a baby boy! His name will be Eli______Dine, we are still discussing the middle name! Scott and I could not be more excited to be having a little boy! We can't wait to meet him and welcome him into our family!

Here's my sweet boy at 16 weeks. I know he has gotten bigger since then with all the moving and kicks. Mom thinks he has the sweetest profile and I couldn't agree more!!

21 weeks pregnant!
Here is a picture of my growing belly! I haven't really felt big until now, but I couldn't be happier! Eli is kicking and growing everyday. I feel like he might be working on a dance routine to break out when he's born! He is an active baby, and I love feeling his little, love kicks and punches!!

Here's my hubby Scott getting ready to paint the baby's room. We decided on a light green to go with his bedding. Being the animal lover that I am, I decided on a bedding suit that has dogs, pigs, cows, and just about every cute animal there is! I can't wait to get his room ready to go!

This is what the little dude's nursery is going to look like. I told you it was full of fuzzy, wuzzy baby animals of all sorts! My friend Kyrie is a fantastic artist, so we are going to try to figure out how she can add a special "touch" to Eli's room!

On Mother's Day Eli and mommy got a lot of cute surprises! I especially love the I love Mommy hat and socks!
