Belly is growing.....

Meerkat that I wanted to steal from the zoo...look at that face!

A pretty shot of the city on a beautiful day from the LP Zoo lot!


After a couple of requests for belly shots, I have finally given in and had Scott take a picture of Ella and me a few nights ago. Many of you know how I feel about naked belly shots....I don't believe in nakedness and pregnant bellies! Check it out above!

We also had our monthly dr. visit last night and everything looks great! I love our doctor, Dr. Tan. She is so chill and laid back. She did comment on my recent weight gain =) I was about a pound over what it alloted for the month....ooops...must be all of those brownie sundaes. I literally am obsessed with brownies and funfetti as of late. I have tackled several baking projects at 9:00 pm on several occassions. My sweet husband never raises an eyebrow over my new found love of late night baking. I have vowed to myself and Dr. Tan to limit sundaes to once a week as opposed to my nightly wind down activity. Also, my tail bone pain has subsided!! Thank you, Nordstroms gift certificates from Mom and Peggy! I love my new Ugg boots. They have made all of the difference!

I am also tracking down pictures from the shower this past weekend. My best friend and dear friend Tiffany threw the best shower for me at Ethel's this past weekend! The weekend was perfect. It was 60 on the day of the shower. The first nice day here in over 6 months, I swear! Sara, Curt and Reese all made the trip up. It was so special to have them here. I have posted pictures that we took at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I can't wait to go back. The african house way my favorite. Check out the cute meerkat. I asked Scott if it might be ok to jump the fence and take off with one. He advised against it.

The shower itself was perfect- Tiffany out did herself (as usual- she is the modern day Martha Stewart!) and the decorations were absolutely beautiful. When I get back from our trip to Italy, I will ask for pictures from people who were there! I was so sad that I didnt get any pictures with all of the girls there; the time went by sooo fast. It means so much to me that my closest friends here in Chicago were able to be there. I was overwhelmed by the sweet presents. I love you girls so much! Please send me any pictures that you guys might have taken from the shower!
