No News Yet

Well, I went to the doctor on Wednesday (8/27) and I have no news. The baby's heartbeat was 130 and everything is going fine. The doctor did not check to see if I have dilated, so we are just playing the waiting game. The doctor did estimate that the baby is 6.5lbs now. I have been having contractions at night, but they have not turned into labor yet. The baby's movements are really strong! We can't wait for the big day! Perhaps I will be in labor on Labor Day!!!

Hugs

Ethan turned 17 months old yesterday and he is becoming such a "little man"! He is communicating with us all the time and understands so much of what we say. Recently I noticed that I lost my favorite pair of earrings that Kris got me for my Birthday last year. I told him that I thought it would really be special if he got me some new ones to replace them before "Mateo" comes. He said he would be glad to. Yesterday when Kris got home from work, he mentioned that we need to get online and order the earrings. I told him how sweet that was of him to think of me and said to him, "come give me a hug." We were hugging and Ethan ran up to us and hugged each one of our legs. It was so sweet!

DaDee's Home

Each day when Kris arrives home from work, Ethan hears the dogs bark and says DaDa or DaDee. I didn't realize that Ethan related the two until I took notice the other day that EVERY TIME the dogs bark he thinks DaDee is home. He now says DaDee, looking at the back door each time the dogs bark. He LOVES his Dad!

The Girly Baby Shower

Last weekend, my dear friend Amy threw us a baby shower at Maggiano's Little Italy. It was soooo nice of her and the food was really great! For a girl with constant heartburn, it was totally worth it! Amy had a special cake made for us by a friend of hers at church. It was the cutest cake!!! Thanks to all that were there to celebrate our new little guy!

Spa Day!

What a great day my sister and I had! She treated me to a spa day at Bliss Spa at the W Hotel! It was GREAT! Afterwards she took me out to lunch and shopping. What a great sister I have!!!
