Bragging Rights!

We thought it would be fun to put a bragging rights betting pool together for the arrival of baby brother. My due date is 11/06/11. Can you believe I am only 19 days away? GEEZO!

To submit your guess what we need from you is name, guess (include delivery date, time and weight in case of a tie). Please post your guess w/ the info in the comments or email me. We will post the guesses up by next Monday.

There is no money (sorry) involved. It is for bragging rights.

Unlce Jason won Elliana's pool! For those who don't remember Elli was born 7/11 a day after her due date at 2:58AM and was 6lbs 10oz. Every baby is different but who knows!

GOOD LUCK!

Great Grandpa West's 90th Bday

I am a little behind on posting these pictures. They are from Elli's Great Grandpa West's 90th birthday party. His birthday was Sept. 30th! Great Grandpa West is Ryan's grandfather on his mom's side. Below are pictures that have Great Grandpa & Grandma, Great Uncle Earl, 2nd Cousin Drew, Ryan (in the background) and Cousin Olivia (who just turned one this Friday, 10/14...pictures to come of her fabulous first birthday party).

As you can see Elli is a HAM and loves being a goofball. With all the fun festivities going on from birthday parties to Halloween stuff she is getting an overdose of sugar and attention. Only more to come with trick or treating, pumpkin carving, the "welcoming" of baby brother, a visit from my best bud Nicole (from Vegas), a visit from Opa & Gigi, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. OMG...she is going to go NUTS with all the fun ahead of us. Enjoy the pictures below.

36 weeks and 4 days but who's counting?



Above is the most recent ultra sound pictures I received today. The one that reads RAR is suppose to be EAR...a typo. The middle is his heart beat. He ranged from 140 bpm to 131 bpm the few times they checked it today....which are both GREAT!. The bottom pic is baby brothers face. Getting the u/s was a bit unexpected today but worth it. As you can prolly tell he is going to be born with some CHUCKY cheeks. The U/S tech was in ahh about his cheeks. Plus surprisly it appeared he had a FULL head of hair (you can't tell from these pics). Elli w/out an sign of hair for almost a year it was VERY exciting to see he has hair. NOW what color will it be? When I was born I had a mop of black hair...maybe my genes aren't as weak as I thought since Ryan's rained surpreme with Elli's looks genetically. I know some of you out there say Elli is looking more like me but I recently saw a picture of Ryan in kindergarten and ELLI and him look IDENTICAL! It is erie!

I have lost some weight and the doctor I saw today was a bit concerned about my swelling so that is why I got he ultra sounds. Everything looked great so I am fine. I found it amusing that I have been swollen like a pig since I was 14 weeks and 20 days before my due date this ONE doctor now shows concern. Funny. There are 4 doctros at the practice and I really only get a great vibe from one. Fingers crossed she delievers me. I don't love this practice (they are highly recommended) but it is hard to even compare to my OBGYN I had for Elli (she was AMAZING).
ENJOY baby bro's chubby cheeks!

DDC continues (DADDY DAY CARE)



Ryan took his profession of Daddy Day Care or as I call it DDC to a new level today by watching our niece, Olivia (who will be 1 this Friday 10/14). Elli was so good with her cousin trying to help daddy any way she could and sooth O whenever she got upset. It was nice bonding time for Uncle Buck (with that beard)...I mean Ryan and his precious neice.

Couldnt' resist the cuteness of this pictures. GOOD JOB UNLCE RY, you're the best!
