It's a Girl!

Most of you know already, but we are having a baby girl.  We are so excited and just happy that everything is going well.  She is healthy and growing like she should.  Can't believe only 15 weeks left to go.  Here is an updated picture of me at 25 weeks.

The last few months...

Other than growing a baby inside my belly, our lives have been pretty uneventful the last few months.  My cousin Lesley's baby shower was a couple weeks ago and last weekend we went to Johnson City Tennessee for Luke's best friend Nick's wedding.  It has been good to get out of Chicago and spend some time with friends and family!  Mother's day was also nice.  We spent it with Luke's mom, John and sister Anna.  It was a beautiful day and we spent most of it outside after having a nice brunch at our house that morning.  Here are several pictures from the last few months.

Having A Baby!

Yep that's right, Luke and I are finally having a baby.  I am due on October 17th.  We are getting very excited to meet our little one.  Now that I have finally announced it and my computer is fixed, I hope to keep my blog more updated!  Here are some pictures of my growing belly.......

The last month.....

I am not even going to say much because I am sooooooo far behind that it would take forever to blog everything.  Instead I will recap the last month. 

We spent New Years in Cincinnati with our friends Shannon and Wes.  We finally went home in January to celebrate our Christmas with my family and also celebrated Keagan's 2nd Birthday.  Last weekend I went to my friend Megan's baby shower.  I haven't seen her since she got pregnant and it was so exciting to see her and her belly!  This past weekend my sisters and cousins Tara and Lesley came over for a much needed girls weekend.

Here are some pictures from the last week.

Christmas 2010

Christmas was very busy for us this year and we didn't even travel out of town.  The week started with my parents coming up to Chicago for us to take them to the airport.  We had to get up at about 4:30 am to get them to O'hare in time.  They also left Oscar with us for the week.  While both dogs were pretty good all week, they liked to get us up very early so they could play with each other. 

Christmas Eve we headed to Barrington to celebrate Luke's sisters birthday with Anna, Dave, Jeanne and John.  From there we went to Luke's aunts house for Christmas Eve festivities and to celebrate with Luke's Dad's side of the family.  Christmas morning Luke and I woke up in our own house for the first time in 5 years.  That was wonderful to finally be home for Christmas!  But later that day we went back to Barrington to celebrate Christmas with Luke's Mom's side of the family.  Most of his aunts and uncles and cousins were there so it was really good to see everyone.

We haven't even celebrated Christmas with my family yet but that is yet to come January 8-10.

Happy Birthday Anna!

Jeanne loved the gift I made her!

We definitely had a white Christmas but I am sure glad all that snow has melted!
