Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in 2011. I hope that 2011 brings everyone joy, good health and many wonderful new experiences! Ryan and I are looking forward to the arrival of our little one in a little over 3 months.

Christmas Festivities 2010

I can't believe that the Christmas Holiday has already come and gone! As Ryan would say, "It is such a let down the day after Christmas!" All of this preparing and waiting in anticipation and then it is over before you know it. In a way I was excited, though, for each new day to come because it brings us one day closer to the arrival of our little one! I had not been on the blog in over a week and I saw that we are now under 100 days for the countdown, I just can't believe it. So here are some pictures from our Christmas Festivities in Rockford with the Bogdonas side and then back at our house with the Cavanaugh side. It was our first holiday celebrated at our house. It was alot of fun to get to enjoy our decorations with family, but by Monday night Ryan and I crashed at 7:30. We were exhausted from all of the celebrating and enjoying spirits (on Ryan's part)!

December 23rd, party at the Bogdonas Bar! Many were smoking from the huka (or however you spell it). Won't our baby be so proud of its dad! It was a fun and crazy night, I think most of them tried a little of every drink you could imagine. Ryan was making a special drink called the Ward. I think they all had 1 too many.

Christmas Eve at Nona and Papa's house. My Aunt Mary could not be there so this picture was in honor of her. She looks like a Playboy Bunny, hey! That was actually a picture from the Playboy Calendar that Papa won in the white elephant gift.

All the cousins and Tallulah!

Daddy feeling baby!

Aunt Lynn was talking to the baby

Lindstedt side on Christmas Day. Some people had only gotten a few hours of sleep at this point, won't name any names! It was a struggle for some people this Christmas but we all had a fun couple of days celebrating together!

Cavanaugh family the day after Christmas. Soon to be grandparents!

Soon to be Great Grandpa Jesionowski!

Week 26 Bump!

Go Packers! Andrea got me a maternity Packers shirt for Xmas. So Ryan and I were sporting our gear for the Packer game. Big game this coming Sunday, Go Pack Attack! Hope they comeThis is my Week 26 Bump!

Week 25 Bump

Week 23 & 24

The Baby!!!! Is it a boy or a girl?!

Above is a 3-D ultrasound picture of the baby's face that we had done in Dr. Cavanaugh's office when we were up there for Thanksgiving. It is amazing how different it looks compared to the black and white images, but it is kind of weird looking. This was taken right around 21 weeks, and the baby was just about 1 lb at that point. My mom thinks based on the picture that it is definitely a boy, so we will see!

Week 24 Bump: Now that it is winter and we are in the middle of a snow storm, I no longer think it is safe to be running outside while I am pregnant. The tredmill and me are becoming good friends, but it is getting old! I am still running though and feeling great.

This week I really have started to feel the baby move, which is the weirdest feeling. Usually it is at night when I am sitting or begin to try to fall asleep. It is nothing too hard yet, but just little flutters here and there. This baby is definitely going to like Xmas music because that is all we have been playing in the car and around the house as we have been decorating, baking, and wrapping gifts.

Week 23 Bump: We had just finished decorating our Christmas tree, so I thought what better place to take my weekly bump picture then in front of our beautiful tree. Unfortunately you can't see everything because my stomach is in the way! Just this week at work everyone started commenting and saying how it seems like I have suddenly popped and strangers in public are now commenting and telling me congratulations. I guess it is not a secret anymore!
