Wow we are getting BIG!





I just realized it's been awhile since you all have heard from us. Not much really to report except I am huge! The outfit I am wearing with the white and blue stripes no longer fits me, that was about 2 weeks ago. I had to get bigger pants just this past weekend. Madison is very active despite there being no room for her in my tummy. Eating is becoming a real challenge. My mouth is willing to put it in, but there is no room in my belly for it once it's there!!! I never knew how hard it is for a pregnant woman to bend over. . .I have almost given up tying my own shoes and taking them off is nearly impossible. I am at the 10 week mark starting today. It's literally like I woke up overnight and had grown several inches!
Tony and I decided to paint the babies room after all, we started that today. I will post some pictures once the project is complete. It should be really cute, we decided to go with a pink poodle theme. I can't wait to see Tony with a pink stroller, now that's what I call HOT!
The pets are getting very antsy too. They are all wondering why they can't lay all over me anymore. I get the feeling like they will be happy when my belly goes back down. I must say I will be happy too but sad to not feel Madison moving inside me.

Well I will post more as the news unfolds or gets bigger!

Peanut has turned out to be a Princess!


Yes that's right we will be having a baby girl! She was very modest at first but we finally got a good look and we are 99% sure. After all the pictures were taken we got to keep one of the face and one from "between the legs". She weighs 1lb and 1oz so far and the due date is checking in around July 4th, due to size and weight. She was napping head down in the fetal position right in the middle of my torso, so her legs are at the top of my tummy. At one point she was sucking her thumb but for the most part just hanging around in there having little baby dreams. How funny to think she was completely unaware her parents and some ultrasound tech were spying on her. . . I'm sure she will be as smart as her dad is though, because by the end she was looking back at us! As far as we could tell from all of our vast medical training (which is zero) she is healthy, at least the Dr wasn't called in to discuss anything. I have an appointment in a few weeks for the results, so everything is progressing as it should be! We will let you know what we decide to name her but for now we are just calling her "Princess Peanut"!

We love you all,

20 weeks, half way to D-Day



Hi everyone,
We are finally out of the 1st trimester and out of the "danger zone", so to speak. I have been sick, here and there, but not like I was a few months ago. Check out my belly! Now there's a new idea of "Baby Phat", right? I am finally getting some energy again. This working full time and growing a person in me is exhausting. Tony is so excited and amazed that we are going to have a baby in few months. It will be such an adjustment to our lives, but we can't wait.
We are going on Feb. 22nd for our second ultrasound. I can't wait to see the baby again and get assured that everything is fine. Lots of people are thinking it will be a boy. Tony is hoping for a boy and I think my mom and his mom are too. I hope the baby is healthy and that I have been a good host for it! I am feeling Peanut move around now, but it took a long time because I had no idea if it was that or just my stomach settling. Which is surprising because our first ultrasound showed a very active baby. I had a check up a few weeks ago and my Dr. listened to the baby's heartbeat and it seems the baby is loving my lower left side. I will let you know how it goes on the 22nd. Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!

Love Erin and Peanut

CHECK ME OUT!!!!!!!!



We are 12 weeks!!!! Feels like forever already; being nauseated 24/7 feels like an eternity. The good news is the Dr. gave me some meds for it, so keep your fingers crossed that is will actually work. Anyway, the little peanut is awesome. The baby wasn't bothered at all by me feeling sick, it was doing aerobics (or acrobatics) while we took a peek at the little booger! It has 2 legs, and 2 arms. It's definitely Tony's baby, it wouldn't stop moving it's legs around. It stretched it's arm above it's head and kicked with all it's might but I couldn't feel a thing. Not yet anyway. Peanut is 5.42 cm, which is about the size of your car key (+/-). Remember being that small??? Nah, me neither. Tony was very excited to see the little one and we are both relieved that it seems to be healthy so far! The little bundle has long legs and had them crossed at one point--so cute! Hopefully we will have a cooperative baby to find out at the next ultrasound visit if it's a boy or a girl. Our next appt will be in Jan. for a baby check, then we will get another ultrasound appt! It's all very exciting for us new parents. Okay well that's all for now, I will blog a belly shot once I start to poke out. Despite it looking some days like I am showing alot, I haven't gained any weight yet. My belly is just making room for Peanut! We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I promise you will get a Card from us this year! Maybe a little late-I fell behind being sick and all. We love and miss you! Feel free to send an email or reply to the blog!

6 weeks!!

Hello everyone,

I had my first OB appointment on Thursday, Nov 9th. I saw the Nurse and got to take home a ton of info about how to be pregnant and cope with all this crazy nonsense that's going on inside my body! She told me I was 6weeks and 5 days and to start taking my pregnancy in weeks. So today I am 7 weeks. Unfortunately, Nausea has settled in and doesn't seem to want to go away. I feel great when I am sleeping. . . .is this really happening? Other than that "We" are doing okay. My next appointment will be in December; I will see the Dr. and we will get to hear the baby's heartbeat!

toodle-loo for now,
