Duke & Lola are ready for Halloween!

Well we had a good weekend. Friday we went to a family dinner and then John went and played poker with the guys. Saturday night we went to Muncie with Michael and Casey. We went to Chili's, the Mall and Target. We got the dogs their Halloween costumes and they are hillarious! Duke is a lobster and Lola is a hotdog. It was a tough decision on what to get them but we went with these and as you see them below they are funny. Duke really hates his costume and puts his head down when he has it on. Lola just prances around in her costume with an attitude! Then tonight we had Little Caesars and it was amazing. We had been waiting forever for it to open so we had to have it tonight and it was great! I have been feeling great and i'm excited our 15th week of pregnancy has started. I for sure have my baby bump now and it's sooo exciting!

Lola say's i'm a HOTDOG!!!!

Dukey mortified in his costume he's a Lobster!

Scary yet EXCITING day!!

Well today we went to the doctor not expecting any surprises! But, that didn't happen. We went in and the nurse started to try and find the heartbeat with the doppler she couldn't find it so she went and got another nurse. At this point I was ready to cry and was very scared. She couldn't find the heartbeat either so she told us she was going to get the ultrasound machine and Dr.Antolin. At this point I was crying and it was all John could do not to as well! Well Dr.Antolin came in and found the baby right away. He/she was taking turns kicking then punching me and moving all around! Dr. Antolin then looked at John and told him to turn his head and he then told John yep the baby's got your head!!! So John just loved that and now he's sooo excited the baby's got his head! It was such a relief to see the baby moving and it's heartbeating at 161 BPM. We also got to see the heart rate as shown below. Dr.Antolin said that he is still projecting my due date March 20th. He said they will know more the next ultrasound which will be in November unless Tony/Ellie is being a stinker again on October 16th our next appointment. He said it will also help when they measure me with the due date. He said that we may just have to find a reason for an ultrasound next time since i'll be around 18 weeks then so we can know what we are having. So we won't really know until we get to the doctor wether we'll find out what were having or not! I am doing great though no problems at all! My bloodwork all turned out great and my thyroid's doing great as well! I am definitely starting to show i'm pregnant and it's crazy how it all of a sudden just changed. Our next appointment is October 18th at 3:30! We will update you all later until then enjoy the unexpected yet amazing ultrasound pictures of Tony Joseph Fernando Benson or Ellie Raye Sylvana Benson!!!

Baby Tony or Ellie (has Daddy's head for sure)

14 weeks and counting!

Well this week was really busy. With work and trying to catch up from being gone the past weekend it was a crazy week. I did get to go pick up our wedding album and it's amazing. I love it! We are going to try and share it with as many people as possible. If your going to see us remind me to show or bring it to show you! We weren't expecting to get it until December so it was a nice surprise.

We really didn't do that much this weekend besides hang out with Brooke and Jason all weekend. We played rock band on Friday night and it was pretty hillarious watching Brooke and John...they were awesome but me and Jason pretty much sucked! Tonight we are going over to Dane and Chantel's house to watch a TNA wrestling ppv.

We go to the doctor this week on Thursday at 2:30 so we are both pretty excited about it. We meet with Dr.Antolin this week. He is one of the 3 different doctors we will rotate with and could possibly deliver the baby. We will get to schedule our ultrasound for next month and we are really pumped to find out what we are having. We are definately ready to start buying and picking out what we want for the baby! John has already been picking out clothes that he wants to get for the baby. Hope everyone has a good week and we will post after our doctor's appointment

St.Louis Trip

John and I had a very busy weekend last weekend. We went to St.Louis to go to our nieces 1st Birthday party. The trip was defiantely exhausting but well worth it. On Friday & Saturday we got to spend time with the girls. It's crazy how much they have changed since we saw them last in July. We also went to their first birthday party Saturday evening and it was really great! They both got their own cupcakes and they loved every bit of it! They also enjoyed playing with tissue paper from their gift bags.

On another note baby Tony or Ellie is doing very good! I am finally starting to be able to eat. I made Chili tonight and it was amazing. It's the first spicy thing I have been able to eat in forever. I also found the meanings of our names and thought you all might enjoy knowing them.

Tony-highly praise worthy

Joseph-he will enlarge

Ellie-shining light or beautiful woman

Raye-counselor

Sylvana-from the forest

I love this pic. of Stella & Emerson

life=busy

Well John and I have been pretty busy lately. I am definately ready for summer and the hot weather to be over. I am ready for the fall weather!! John and I are really looking forward to going to the doctor on Sept.18th. My estimated due date is still March. 20th but, we won't know for sure until after the ultrasound in October. Since the heartbeat was so strong and loud they feel it may be a little sooner than March 20th. We have so many family birthday's in March that i'm sure Tony/Elle will be here on someone's birthday! I am so excited that the baby will be here in 6 months. It's really hard to believe I am almost done with my first trimester. The time has flown by since we found out we were going to be parents! We are going on a road trip to Missouri this weekend for our nieces 1st birthday party! We will definately post after the weekend and share pictures from our trip!

Me and Brooke or Aunt B :) (she decided that was going to be her name for the baby)

Duke..

Dukey watching for Daddy to come home from work! It's hilarious because him and Lola start to watch for John everyday around 5:15 or so. You know once he walks past the window because they both go CRAZY!!!! It's sooooo funny to watch!
