Baby Shower

Here are some pictures from my baby shower that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw for me in the begining of June. The above is a picture of the "diaper cake"

Wow... only 10 more weeks to go.

Seems so close.. yet so far at the same time!

Pregnancy is still going well for me. I've had some nasty acid reflux over the last month and started taking Pepcid AC to help with it. It helps most of the time but i can still feel it most days.

My cravings have been pretty boring... ive been eating alot of fresh fruit and yogurt..i also love eating breakfast food at all hours of the day. I made a huge batch of waffles for dinner last week and ate them over the next few days. Also cereal is one of my fav snacks.

Meat on the other hand still doesn't appeal to me. I try to get in a few bites of dinner that Mike makes but my stomach is smaller than it use to be thanks to baby foy pushing her way up under the ribs.

Right now she is about 3 pounds but i feel she is more. I know I have more growing to do but i really think she may run out of space down there! sheesh!

Besides the acid issue..sleeping has been a pain lately too. I wake up at least once a night to use the bathroom and find it very hard to get in a comfortable position. i toss and turn alot.

Mike and Mir's TODO List

1. Ask around about child care

2. Mir talk to HR to get time off after babys born approx 10 weeks.

3. Go to Birthing classes

4. Attend baby showers

5. Rub Mir's back

6. Discuss babys name for the 100th time!

* Week 28 : The Nursery *

What a busy week Mike and I had. We started in on the nursery and almost have it all done!

Our colors are pink and brown and over the last few weeks we've been searching high and low for the perfect bedding... FINALLY on Monday we came across the last one in the store that was calling our name.

It was hard shopping because we didn't want anything too busy but with some color , but not too babyish......(basically i was one picky person during the last few days, and Mike was such a good sport (most of the time) haha!

Here is a picture of the room we started off with...

The day we got the carpet in we also put together the crib... it took us till midnight but it sure turned out nice! The next night Mike and I put together the changing table. That went a bit smoother then the crib. :-)

We just love our little girls room..I sure hope our ultrasound was correct..and its not a boy in there! Otherwise he will have to love PINK!

My super comfy glider

On Sunday we got to show off all of our hard work to the guests of my baby shower that my mother-in-law & Anne Marie put on for me. We had yummy food, fun games and waaaay to many presents for baby Foy! Pictures coming soon....

Baby Foy goes camping !

Over Memorial Day weekend Mike and I packed up the jeep and headed into central Wisconsin for our yearly camping trip/reunion with family and friends. This tradition began in the late 70s and has been going ever since.

I grew up going to this camp outing and I knew I couldn't miss it by being pregnant so we packed extra comfy blankets and a sturdy blow up mattress and headed out into the woods!

The weather was great, food yummy and being with family friends around the campfire is such a great experience...wish we could do it more than once a year!

One of the highlites of this camping trip is all the great food and drinks that people bring. On Saturday we had a beer tasting with snacks and Sunday was Wine & Cheese tasting. It definitly was hardto watch everyone enjpying their cocktails but my grape cool-aid tasted quite nice in a wine glass.

Next year will be interesting to see how our 9 month old does..all i know is that it can be done and has been done numerous times over the generations.

The newest member of our camping gang 8 month old Paul !!! Such a happy baby!

BELLY BUTTON NEWS!





Last night when getting ready for bed I made a discovery that belly button is not so much an "inny" anymore.. its slowly getting flattened out! I guess my belly is groing


Baby Foy has sure been moving around a lot these days... she likes to kick her legs up under my right ribs and poke her head down on my left hip. While watching TV Sunday night Mike finally got to feel some hard kicks! Now he knows what i'm going through.


I believe she's doing fun yoga poses down there..

Babys Nursery Update: We tore out the old carpeting last month and have new stuff being delivered in the next week or so. Our crib and changing table/dresser also came in. Its still is in the box and i can't wait to open it!! Its a dark coffee color, thought that would look nice with our Chocolate& Pink theme we have going on.

Week 22

Week 22

Only 4 more months to go ! I'm definitly showing these days, my patients at work ask me questions all the time and even the workers at LifeTime Fitness where we work out have commented on my little basketball. I'm still doing yoga..about once every 2 weeks. The instructor provides alternative positions for me when dealing with the abs :-)

This weekend my parents are coming up and mom and I are going to go register at Baby's R Us. I have a big checklist made already.

We have received some baby gifts already from friends...one of my favorites being these adorable ballet slippers. I think im going to have alot of fun shopping for her!

She has been moving alot more these days. I usually wake up twice in the night due to her doing the cha-cha down there..which seems to really aggrevate the bladder as well. Other than i'm feeling well and really enjoying the pregnancy.
I even went to the store Motherhood Maternity and found a cute jean skirt that has the built in tummy holder! I also bought a few belly bands that look like a tube top and I can wear over my tummy to keep my pants up and shirts in place. Its sooo comfy!!





Last week Mikes cousin Sam and wife Krsity had their baby, Reagan.. and she is adorable!!!
Congrats to the family!

Baby Foy goes to Las Vegas!

V E G A S

The first week of April we headed out to Las Vegas for Mikes brothers wedding.

The weather was great, the wedding beautiful and it was fun to see all that Las Vegas had to offer. Even though we all came back with blisters on our feet from walking so much it was definitly worth it!!

I'm on the far left.. and no thats not a bronze butt in front of my belly :-)
