Missouri Trip

Well John and I had an amazing Christmas this year! We are very excited for next year though since Miss.Ellie will be here. We got to spend time with alot of our family. On Friday we left to go to Missouri and got home today. We had a great time!! Our nieces have grown soooo much since we saw them last in September. They are amazing little girls! Hope you enjoy pictures from our trip!

Baby Bump at 28 weeks= 7 months!!!

Miss.Ellie's Nursery!!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry it has been a few weeks. Life has been pretty crazy for me at work. Since I last posted I have been to the doctor and we have got Ellie's room started!

Well I will let you all know that I have officialy gained 5 pounds now! Yay! The doctors thought I was never going to gain weight. 3 of the 5 pounds I put on last month! I am for sure all baby in the front and my back is starting to feel it. We are on the two week rotation now at the doctor. I go again this Tuesday. We then have our 3D Ultrasound on New Years Eve. We are sooooo excited about it! I will be posting all the pictures on here. I have also decided if I have to I will just record the ultrasound from our tv with my camera so you can all see it! We also have our prenatal class January 24th. We are excited/nervous about it. I have heard that Henry counties prenatal class is awesome. So that is a plus.

As you can see below John got Ellie's crib put together. It is absolutely beautiful! We got our bedding for it as well. The wall the crib goes against is the only finished wall. We still need to get our dresser, curtains, some pictures and add the rest of our wall decals put up on the other walls and we'll be finished. I pretty much have the wall with the window on it done I just need to get the curtains. Hopefully I can get the rest of the walls decorated over my 2 week break from work :)

John and I going to be busy for Christmas this year. We are starting our Christmas celebrations tomorrow. We are doing the Lewis Christmas at Welliver's then back to my Grams' house. Christmas Eve we are spending with my Mom & Step-Dad then my Step-Mom's family. On Christmas we will be going to my Mom's, Dad's, Step-Dad's families, Grams' house and then John's parents house. Then the day after Christmas we are going to St.Louis to visit with John's brother and his family. We will be there until Monday. We are very excited to see our nieces!

I will update you all if the doctor tells us anything exciting at our next visit. If not I will try and post pictures from our Christmas. I will for sure update you all with the 3D Ultrasound pictures on the 31st though.

I hope everyone traveling gets to their destination safely. Merry Christmas!!!!!!

John was SO excited to put her crib together :)

Okay I stole this idea from an episode of a baby story! It's a collage of John and I when we were babies and then we put pictures of Ellie in it too!

Her dresser will go under the pink sign it says Princess! The curtains will not be aqua those are just the old ones I haven't found the perfect curtains for her room yet!

Ellie's stylin trashcan Grams Lewis got for her room!

Nanny & Papaw Benson got Miss. Ellie a New Holland cup, bowl and silverware set!

Ellie kicked Daddy!

The most amazing thing happened tonight and just now!!! It made me cry! John put his head/ear on my belly because I was nagging at him to see if he could hear anything funny in my belly. Well he finally put his ear down and pressed his head and all of a sudden Ellie kicked or punched really hard. It was sooo AWESOME because this is the first time John's been able to feel Ellie!!! It was so strong it pushed out the spot of my stomach!!! I just wanted to share it with all of you. It was pretty amazing for both John and I!!!! Have a good week!

I'm sorry, I know many of you have been wanting to see a picture of our car we got on Monday. But this week has just been crazy! I love my new SUV!!! It's pretty awesome. I will try and get some better pictures this weekend of it to post. We decided that now was the best time to buy and we were wanting to get a new car before Miss.Ellie gets here. Miss. Ellie is doing great too. We go to the doctor on Thursday morning. I think she's gonna bust her way out of my belly sometimes! She loves to move and do flips! I have a feeling within the next months of the pregnancy she's gonna cause Momma alot of pain by her gymnastic abilities :) We get to pick her crib up tonight Grams Lewis got her. We should be getting her mattress Nanny and Papaw Benson got her anyday too. I will get pictures on here of everything asap. I am going to start decorating her nursery over my Christmas break!

I thought this was AWESOME!!!!
