Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum Concert

Belly picture of me at 29 weeks! I am really getting excited to meet him!

Leigh got us tickets to the Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum concert. She was so considerate, she got us the SkyBox seats with comfortable leather seats away from all the drunk people, the best thing for a prego! Thanks so much Leigh, Love you!

coming up to 29 weeks!!!
My craving of the week, homemade apple pie :) I cut the apples and everything! Too bad I could only eat a little piece!
***********************************************************************************
I had my 28 week appointment today. Everything looks good, except my Dr. told me to start taking extra Vitamin B 12 along with my prenatal vitamins because something in my blood was kind of high....nothing too major. I got my RH factor shot today, they will check Owen when he is born and see if he has the RH factor as well, if he does, I have to get another shot. So we will see, once again, nothing too major. They measured me and I am measuring a week ahead, but most likely Owen is just a big baby. It took her a while again to find his heartbeat because the little guy is kicking and moving all over the place! All you hear is him rubbing up against the doppler! Once he calmed down, she took it and it was nice and strong :) Speaking of Owen moving, I was taking a bath the other night, and decided to put the Dave Matthews CD in to listen to. Owen started moving like crazy, especially to all the upbeat songs, he shook the water, no joke!!! The kid has good taste in music!!! Since being pregnant, I have become a little baker, ask Ryan, I would never really cook before. Now I will stop by the store all the time and put together these elaborate meals, but then unfortunately, I get full super fast so I never get to enjoy them fully, but Ryan is sure getting the benefit of it!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Happy Father's day to my hubby! I know he is going to be such an amazing dad, because he is already an amazing husband and best friend to me :) Owen is going to be a lucky little man!

Happy Father's day to all the other DADs in my life, especially my own DAD. This Father's Day is extra special because of all the things our family went through this past November with my dad's heart, and I feel blessed that GOD gave my father another chance at life, he is such an amazing man, and I am so proud of how he has turned his health around since then! He also is doing great things in his professional life, and I am proud of the work he is doing. Indy's WISH TV featured his work on their newscast the other night, check it out! love you Dad! Wish we could be there today!

Happy 2 years & 97 days until Owen arrives!!!!!

Ryan and I celebrating our two year wedding anniversary at CITE in Chicago.
27 weeks along...I feel like I have a bowling bowl in my stomach now!!!!
360 degree views from CITE on the 70th floor...Lake Shore Drive and the Hancock building at sunset...so pretty!
Cite is in the building right next to Navy Pier, top floor is the restaurant on the 70th, every other floor is residential...could you imagine living here!!!!
Our glider and ottoman...so comfortable:)
Let's hope Owen is a CUBS fan, b/c he sure will have enough stuff! I have a feeling his auntie Sarah will try to make him a BOSTON fan, and his Uncle Sean will try to make him a Yankee fan...so we will see who wins! :) :)
The hat rack I made Owen :)
Ryan and I made Owen a build-a-bear at the Navy Pier store before our anniversary dinner...Meet MR. CUB :) I just think he is adorable!
*********************************************************************************
I official start my third trimester tomorrow...wow! I have been reading my baby books a little more lately (I have been really bad at that!) and it relieves me to know Owen is capable of breathing outside of me now if heaven forbid something happens! (My co-workers' sister just had her baby at like 30 weeks, so that is scary how those things happen.) According to those books I also have 97 more days until Owen will be full-term...so crazy! I definitely feel him ALLL the time, my stomach is hard as a rock, and seems to get bigger each day...it feels like a bowling ball in there! Ryan can feel him on the outside now all the time, so that is cool. I am feeling okay, sleeping is still not amazing, but I can't really complain because things haven't been that bad. I am still walking 30-45 minutes at day during the week (on top of all the walking I do at work) and I also do this exercise machine at my lunch break for 30-45 minutes because it really helps my back pain. SO I am still trucking along!
Ryan and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past Monday. I had this romantic SURPRISE getaway planned for this weekend, but of course I couldn't keep it a secret, so I told him on our actually anniversary. I had booked a hotel room downtown Chicago and made reservations at restaurant. After we talked about it, we decided to cancel the hotel and save our Marriott reward points for a "babymoon". We have enough points together now for a 5 night stay AND all-inclusive package...so we have been looking for places to book probably April 2011, and want to bring Owen with us:) Just something relaxing and low-key...sounds amazing!
So we kept the restaurant reservation, a place called CITE, Ryan's cousins, Kristin and Drew, recommended it to me. It is at the top of the Lake Point Tower next to Navy Pier. It has floor to ceiling windows all around the restaurant, so the views were amazing. We were there for over 2 hours and just had a great time.
We are missing out on Ryan's family birthday celebrations today back home, we are sorry we couldn't be there! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARAH, GRANDPA CHUCK, AND GRANDMA RETTA!!!

It was a fun, BUSY weekend and we are so happy we got to spend so much time with lots of our family and friends!! HAPPY early 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE...:)
