28 Weeks

Holy Cow!  Every week I still find it hard to believe that we are this far!  28 weeks - only 12 to go!!  Next Monday morning I have a doctors appointment and after that we are down to going every 2 weeks.  Unbelievable!  Mike and I are both getting more and more excited to meet little Eddie and the bigger he gets the more active he gets, so we are both getting to really enjoy his kicks and punches (as much as you can really enjoy being punched in the rib on a regular basis!!)  His nursery is finished with the exception of getting a chair, so that's a huge relief.  It's baby ready whenever little E decides to make his debut.  Work has been pretty challenging for me lately just because I can't do everything I'm used to being able to do and it's hard to find helpers.  I'm wearing out and I hate that, but I know when I start feeling like this to listen to my body and limit myself - doesn't mean I have to like it! :) 

Here are today's pictures - 28 weeks!

26 Weeks!

Getting bigger by the minute!  Little E can hear much better now and he's breathing in and out preparing his lungs for the real world. I swear he knows who is touching my belly because he will only kick for Mike and my mom!  We are getting more and more excited every day to get to meet him, but we are happy to let him cook a little longer! 

Here are the pics we took of my belly this week - I think I have doubled in size since last week, but that's probably just in my head (at least that's what you all better tell me)  :)



Hayley had to be in this one :)



25 Weeks!



25 weeks and ready for our vacation!  It's been a pretty constant dance party happening and Eddie has no intentions of holding back!  We are just a few small steps away from the nursery being 100% finished, but at this point a baby could definitely live in there!!!  I posted 2 pictures below of some of the special touches we have done - spelling out eddie in wooden letters over his changing table and putting up some adorable bunny prints over his crib!  I'm getting bigger by the minute and there are days Mike will tell me I got bigger since I left the house in the morning!  (Terribly Rude!) 

Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment - just another check up, nothing exciting!

Meanwhile - I would like to welcome Miss Alma Ward to the world - My friend Candace had her baby on Sunday, November 20th

And a very special welcome to Mr. Caiden (spelling to be determined) Karlo Spaulding - my cousins Chris and Monica's new baby boy who came to the world on Monday, November 21st! 

We are so excited for Eddie to have two friends to play with!  We are also looking forward to Sophia "Fifi" Greskoff who will be making her debut the end of January!  Lots of playmates for Little E to hang out with!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!



Ignore the tired look - enjoy the adorable letters over the changing table!




Super cute bunny prints I found on Etsy!





24 weeks and then some!

Really?  24 weeks?  When did that happen? 

Over the course of the past 2 weeks we have almost completed the nursery and I have pictures to share!!!!  We went for a second ultrasound because Eddie wasn't cooperating for the first one and they needed to picture of his cute little face!  (I have those to share as well!!!!)  We also had a blast at the wedding of 2 of our favorite people, Megan & Ryan, who said "I do" on November 5th at the Cork Factory Hotel (which was also our 9 month wedding anniversary!)  Life has been busy and will only continue that way for the next few months.  I have been feeling pretty good, only a few minor body aches and pains, a few preggo meltdowns (how many times can I say My Poor Husband in one blog?), and a few online purchases...

Happy Birthday to my momma!!!!!

 Here are the pics for you to enjoy!

Megan & Ryan!

The Hennigans...and Eddie is getting big!

He weighed in at 1 lb, 7 oz at 24 weeks

Creeps me our that you can see his left eye in this

Little smile, eyes closed - left arm at ear and right arm in front of right eye!

Book shelf!

Mike ordered the piggy bank and Amiee gave us this adorable little stork!

21 and 22 week photos!

Sorry!  I skipped a week - I kept forgetting where I left my camera...  We went for our monthly doctors appointment and there is a new doctor at the practice!  We really liked her and she actually answered our questions!!  (HOORAY!)  We will be going for another ultra sound on November 11th because little E kept hiding his face and that is frowned upon in the OB world!  The doctor told me I should have a little chat with him before we go and ask him to cooperate this time :) 

He is really moving around a lot now!  He's a very busy guy, just swimmin' and swimmin'.  Here are pictures from last week and this week (and Halloween in between!).



21 weeks!



Happy Halloween!!!

22 Weeks!

We will be moving furniture in on Sunday this weekend!!!
I can't believe it's all ready!!!



20 Weeks - Halfway there!!

20 weeks and counting!  Little E is getting bigger every day (and so am I!).  Mike was able to paint the trim and get a coat of paint on the walls!  Another coat and some more trim and we will be ready to move in the furniture!  I love the color!  "Something Blue" - It's so sweet and is going to look great with all of the white furniture.  We chose mostly greens and blues anyway, so everything is going to be perfect for Eddie!  Everything has arrived at this point furniture wise.  The crib, dresser/changing table, bookshelf, curtain rods...I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you get the point!  We are just waiting on a little more of the bedding but it should be in by the end of this month.  I can't wait to get that all together so we can start working on wall decor (and so I can take too many pictures of the room and post them here for you!).

Anyway, here are the pictures for this week!  Enjoy!

Blue Paint!!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!

We went yesterday for our first ultrasound and we were getting nervous because the baby was keeping his legs crossed and not moving around a whole lot to give us a peek.  Well, after they let me pee (sorry - it's part of the story!) baby went on a dancing spree!  He was movin' and shakin' and gave us a quick peek!!!  It was so exciting!  After that he stopped cooperating and kept his hand in front of his face.  No Paparazzi!  We couldn't get a good image of his face because he kept his hand in front of it the rest of the appointment, but here are the images they were able to give us and we are so excited to share them with you! 

Also, you will notice that the ticker has changed, so insted of being 19 weeks we are 19 weeks and a few days - they moved our due date up from March 6th to March 3rd - not a big difference, but big enough for me!  We get to meet Eddie even sooner then we thought (as long as he cooperates and doesn't cook longer then needed!)

And now - Introducing...Edward Vincent Hennigan - "Eddie"



This one scanned a little lop-sided




Just kickin' and dancin'




Long legs!
