Happy Halloween

Here are our costumes for Halloween this year!!!!  Cooper was sporting a hotdog outfit which was very appropriate :)  He didn't mind at all wearing his costume to the neighborhood Halloweenie Roast.  He was a big hit.  Baby Weaver was able to dress up as well.  Happy Halloween everybody!!!

  Here are some cookies that my neighbor's kids made.  They looked so real and gross.  Very creative!!!

These are the pumkins that Ryan and I carved.  Mine is on the left (of course, Go pirates) and Ryan's is on the right.  The kids in the neighborhood loved our pumkins.  We received lots of compliments.  It was so much fun getting trick-or-treaters at our first house!!!  We had a blast and Cooper barked at everyone!! 

Weaver Baby Pool

We are at the midpoint of our pregnancy, so we decided to do a baby pool for our little one.  There have been so many people predicting what we are having and how big he/she will be, that we decided to make it even more exciting.  From a family that loves a little wager, whether it's cards, dice, or golf, we couldn't resist.  This one won't break your wallet since it's more for fun.  For one dollar, any of our friends and family can guess the date, time, sex, weight, length, hair color, and eye color of our little one. 

So, good luck to those who want to predict our little one's birthday and stats.  We are enjoying the guesses so far.  Keep them coming. :)  http://bebepool.com/melannsan

Happy 2nd Anniversary

Happy 2nd Anniversary!!!!  This is one of the very first pictures Ryan and I have of each other when we first started dating.  I was struggling in anesthesia school and Ryan came along with a hurt knee.  I hate that he injured that knee, but it brought us together.  As a matter of fact, Ryan was probably still limping around when this picture was taken :) 

We enjoyed a really nice dinner at University Chophouse and then pigged out on some Cold Stone ice cream.  Ryan did really good with his surprise dinner plans.  We also opened some very sweet cards from friends and family.  We have had so many great times together along with life's challenges, but we are very much in love.  We are planning a little get-a-way to Gatlinburg in a few weeks for our anniversary trip.  So happy 2 years...they have been unforgettable!!!

Little flutters

Well, either Baby Weaver enjoyed the State Fair or is trying to get my attention.  On our way home from the State Fair, I felt the flutters of my little one.  It was the first time that I actually knew what I was feeling.  Words cannot explain. Now, I find myself sitting really still in hopes of feeling him/her move.  I can't wait until Ryan is able to feel his son or daughter moving around. 

I have been feeling pretty good so far the past few weeks.  Some days I sleep most of my day away and others I feel great.  My belly is starting to pooch out a little, so I don't look I've eaten too many doughnuts. 

The bedding for the nursery has been purchased so hopefully we can get started on that really soon.  Currently, Ryan's office is the baby room but he is getting kicked out. :)  Maybe we can get some before and after pictures up soon.

Our Precious Baby

We had our big ultrasound today!!  It was so exciting to see our little one moving all around and looking at us.  It was precious!  I am 17 weeks and 5 days today.  Baby Weaver got a full examination and everything checked out great.  We are just so thankful. 

Ryan and I had been talking about how nervous we get with every doctor visit.  At first, it's the 8 week appointment.  You know you've got a positive pregnancy test, but is there a heartbeat?  So, whew, you get through that one with an OK!

Then, it was the 13 week check-up.  You do the usual of getting on a scale, peeing in a cup, and then they listen for the heartbeat again.  You really think they are going to mistake your's for the baby's because your heart is beating rampant.  And again, you wipe your brow, we're out of the first trimester. 

And today, is everything okay?  Is our baby developing like he/she should?  Our baby passed all the exams with flying colors.  Thank you, Lord!!!  We are so thankful! 

We look forward to these future doctor appointments with less anxiety.  We may have a few more grey hairs or wrinkles just getting to 17 weeks and 5 days.  Of course, we expect even more especially when the little one enters this world.  We are not finding out the sex of Baby Weaver.  All we are praying for is a healthy baby.
