5 months officially!!! I feel like a whale......a baby whale for now!!

This was a picture taken today...Nov. 21, I am 5 months finally, I am almost half way there.  I know these pics are boring but if I was home then everyone would be able to see me more often so even though theres not much of a change, well you might not be able to tell but I certainly can, I feel very soft around the edges and my abs are gone, I mine as well throw in the towel, this baby is taking over.  I wanted to put a few up anyways just to keep yall updated. Love you all and miss you very much, hope everyone has a happy and safe thanksgiving. xoxo

Thats my little Ellie with the not so little ears in the picture!!

One day this photo will be shocking and you will all wonder where the basketball in my belly came from....until then heres all I got for ya.  

First snowfall :)

Frankie loves the snow, even though it was a light dusting today I'm sure we will have much more in the upcoming months for them to play in.  I just love the snow, its so pretty and makes the trees look so beautiful.  Sure beats that disgusting Seattle rain we are use to.  We actually have a pretty big back yard for the dogs to play in and every morning if we come downstairs around 7am there are usually 4 to 5 deer walking around eating, it's so cool.

Our little 7 month old Boston Terrier, Ellie, curiously checking out the snow for the first time.  She was more interested in eating it then running around.  I'm sure once we get more she will have a blast playing in it.  

What we've been up to the past few weeks!!

Me & Lukey givin some love!!

My Friend Amy came out from Kentucky to visit me for a weekend, we had so much fun......sat on the couch.......watched tv........sat on the couch again........watched more tv.......oh and we did get up once to go to one of lukes game :)  We had a blast, thanks for coming out Ames....love you.

My Mom posing for a picture before we head out to the game.......so purty!  She came out for about 10 days I think, we had a great time, lots of relaxing and working out :)  She got to come to the doctors appointment with us on nov. 5th and we heard the heartbeat for the first time...it was so exciting.  Thanks for coming out mom....i love you!

Here's a picture of luke in his first home game

Recent photos of me & Pictures from the end of this summer with family!

Ok this was just a few days ago, my dad must think I'm in my 7th month because he keeps asking for pictures of my belly, so here ya go dad, not much has changed, just look like I ate a big meal and possibly dessert :)  Soon these belly shots will be more exciting!!

Luke and I doing the "classic" mom and dad pose, this ones for you sarah, we knew you would love the cheesy factor to it.  I think he squeezed my tumtum a little hard.

Jess & Sarah pointing at my big belly.

We all had a pretty good tan going so I thought I should put this picture up just to remind us during this pasty winter season that we were tan and sexy at one point this year :) My sisters are so gorgeous!!!

I had just told my family I was pregnant.  Jessi, myself and Sarah looking gorgeous for the camera :)

The actual pregnancy test that I took minutes before I shoved it into a bracelet box and pretended to tell my mom and dad that luke had brought me something home from a trip, they were extremely shocked when I opened it and a Very Positive pregnancy test was in front of their eyes.  It was a great moment for my mom and dad and sisters, my mom started to cry and my dad started cracking jokes :)
This was my Grandad's 83rd birthday party at our house with the aunts, uncles & cousins. From left to right it goes luke, me, sarah, mom, jessi, grandad, gail, uncle john, aunt kellie, aunt marilyn, jill, mitch (front) sean, gabi & eric.  We had so much fun on the lake that day and I know my grandad had the time of his life, we almost got him to go surfing ;) 

Just relaxing after a long day on the water.

My Dad, Uncle John & Grandad proudly drank Milwaukee's Best at the party, luke had gotten traded just 2 days before the party so we were all very excited.

Luke in his new colors & me in my new growing BODY!!

Ok so this was taken like 2 weeks ago, I think Im a little more bloated looking by now :)

First Blog :)

Ok so all of my friends have blogs and they do such a great job at keeping friends and family updated on their lives.  Since luke and I (Frankie & Ellie) are now living in Milwaukee, WI, I decided this would be a good idea to start so everyone can see how we are doing and also how my growing belly is doing.  As you may know by now Luke and I are expecting our first child, we are so excited and feel so blessed to be able to start a family of our own :)  I am 15 weeks along and feel super bloated, thanking my mom for good genes because I barely had any sickness in my first trimester, I had light nasuea every other day or so but other than that I have felt great, just a bit more sleepy than usual.  So far sarah and my mom have been out to visit me and both cannot tell that I am preggers but I can tell and so can luke.  Hopefully in a few months I will be showing more so I will be able to post some pictures so all my family & friends can enjoy this process with me.  Well thats all I got for now, I will try and attempt to figure this blogging thing out with the help of Tracey, shes a pro blogger :)  Love you all.
