First Photo Shoot!

We got a teaser from the photographer - here is one of the pictures from out photo shoot last weekend.

Link to find out more about baby - we're 28 weeks this Thursday!

Found a cool site that shows how the baby looks now and how he's doing -

First baby pictures for mommy, daddy and me!!

We had a wonderful weekend! A local professional photographer needed a model with a baby bump (and hubby) to help build his portfolio so he waved the sitting fee and gave us a free session for rights to the pictures. We ended up staying for about 3 hours and took over 300 pictures. We should have a full CD soon so I'll be sure to post a few. We took a bunch of artsy types and a few fun "rock and roll" shots which were fun!

A day in the life of mommy and me...

Monday mornings are "rough" mommy says... we had so much fun hanging out with daddy over the weekend that we miss him when the work week rolls around. Daddy leaves early to go help the kids at school so we roll over for another hour or so and get a little more shut eye. Then the alarm goes off at 6:40.... ugh... the puppies wake up and stretch and we get dressed in a hurry, toss on glasses (my mommy is practically blind, hope I get daddy's eyes!), grab the leash, I mean work phone and it's down stairs. Portia always runs in front of us and barges down leaving us in her dust... Brutus follows and we head all the way down to the chilly basement to feed my puppies. Then it's back up stairs to make lunch (and my snacks) for the day and breakfast to go - cereal and a banana. We bundle up and go out to the truck with rolling case in hand (mommy can't carry her laptop anymore because she's busy carrying me already :) well sort of). Off to the slug lines... we stand in line for a ride and finally get in a car to DC. Snuggled up in the backseat we catch a few more zzz's (yeah it takes us a while to wake up for the day)... by the time we get to mommy's office I start to stretch too... kicking and punching away :)

We work, work, work and go to mass at lunch (I like that priest, he said a prayer for me with mommy a few months ago when I was just a little boy). Then it's back to work for a few more hours... and back to the slug lines to go home.

We start dinner and daddy gets home soon... after dinner we watch TV (Brutus and Portia hog the couch... but daddy pushes them off so he can sit with mommy and me)... Daddy always wants to feel me kick so I try real hard and show him how strong I'm getting. He smiles and looks in mommy's belly button to try and see me :)

Tomorrow we get to go to swim class (yippee! Jonah and I love floating around) while our mommies chat it up.

I can't wait to meet everyone! Few more months and I'm making my big arrival :) XOXOXO

26 weeks... getting round!

Finally a full body picture - face and all :) Brutus even got in the picture... getting ready for our photo shoot next weekend (we are SO excited!).

16 weeks... 17lbs... ugh

Today was a little rough... cramping up a bit (which is scarey as h*ll to a soon to be mommy) but I laid down for awhile and everything was fine. We went to the gym today - I know, the weight gain is normal "I'm pregnant, not fat" but 17 pounds in two months is a little much - anyway, it's good motivation to get into the gym for stretching, a little cardio and light weight lifting :)

Lee sent a box of baby goodies so baby Bean is already getting set for his cool duds! (Thanks Lee!!)
