6 Weeks Old!

Eli is 6 weeks old today and boy how does time fly! We have the sweetest, most laid back baby and have enjoyed getting to know him. He smiles all the time, but of course we could not get him to for these pictures! Daddy gave him the punk hairdo in the second picture! This onesie says it all, the grandparents have already spoiled this little guy rotten! Eli and I have been staying warm and cozy the last few days and will enjoy this month before I have to go back to work in January.

4 Weeks and 5 days!

Hi everybody! Sorry it took me so long to get photos posted, but here are some photos of Eli Errin at 4 weeks and 5 days of age.

Daddy took these photos this morning.

Still Waiting...

Well, today is officially my due date and I'm still waiting for little Eli! I have felt like I am getting closer to going into labor but nothing big has happened yet. I have been having contractions for the last few weeks, so we are just patiently waiting for them to get stronger!! My prediction of October 10th and Scott's prediction of the 15th have quickly passed. The plan is if Eli does not come this weekend that they will induce me on Tuesday, October 21st. As much as I was hoping that I would go into labor on my own, it's nice to have an ending point in sight! I am just so ready to meet this little boy! Keep watching the blog, hopefully we will be able to post a picture of the little meatball after he is born! (I've just recently been calling him my little meatball, I think because he feels like he is so big!!)

Eli's Room

Eli now has some very special friends painted on his wall thanks to our friend Kyrie! She has been working hard the last two weeks to get this finished before the arrival of our little boy. I picked out the giraffe and the pig and Scott picked out the monkey and the tiger to add a very special touch to Eli's room. I am totally amazed by Kyrie's talent and so glad that she did this for us! Thank you Kyrie, we love the little critters!! 12 more days until my due date, Scott and I are very excited, but I am also getting very nervous! We'll keep everyone posted!

Eli at 34 Weeks, 4 Days!

Here's my boy at 5 weeks before his estimated arrival! Scott and I went to have an ultrasound done on Tuesday, because I was measuring big. They found that I have a little bit more amniotic fluid, but it is nothing to be concerned about. The kicker is...Eli is already weighing in at 6 pounds 4 ounces!! He is in the 88th percentile for babies that are 34 weeks! They are estimating him to be about 9 pounds, which was no shocker to me!! My dad was over 9 pounds and my grandpa was 12 pounds!! The technician kept going on about how much he looks like me with his chubby cheeks and big lips. When we were watching him it looked like he was blowing kisses to us! We were both so excited to see his face and are even more excited to hold him in a few weeks. I just can't believe this journey is almost over and I will have my sweet baby in about 5 more weeks!

Running Out of Room!

Scott and I were driving home from my parent's house last weekend when Blu found out he is quickly running out of room on Mommy's lap! Scott and I were laughing so hard we were crying when he stuck his rump up on my belly! We are doing great, 32 weeks today, which means I'm in my 8th month! 8 weeks to go, who hoo!!

Rock a Bye Baby!!

For my birthday my mom and dad cleaned up my wooden cradle, that I actually slept in 30 years ago, for my little boy. Well, this little, furry boy thought that the gift was just for him! He jumped right in it and both of the cats slept in it yesterday afternoon. It is amazing what these spoiled little babies think about all these new baby things! Two pieces of my nursery furniture are in, we are just waiting for the crib to come in and then they will deliver it all to the house. I wonder what Baby Blu and Cleo will do then! I don't blame them though, they have been my only children for 6 years!!
