Here are more pictures of Ethan. What can I say, he is cuter than us and we haven't done anything very blog worthy lately. Dan has been under the weather plus had finals but is now done and we are looking foward to the holidays! so excited for ethan's first christmas even though he could care less! he is such a good baby and is now sleeping through the night. before he would get up at about 4-5 but now he sleeps until about 8. it is so nice. he had his 2 month check up a couple weeks ago and his stats were 12 lbs and 23.5" long, which put him in the 70 something % for both. we just love him to pieces

I Just Can't Get Enough...

...of this little boy!

three years...

Monday Dan and I celebrated our three year anniversary. We went to dinner at Cucina Toscana (we went there the night we got engaged and we've gone every year on our anniversary) Dan also suprised my with tickets to Imogen Heap last week. It was perfect!

It seems ridiculous to try and say how much Dan means to me! He is my best friend and is the best husband and I feel so lucky! We have so much fun together and I couldn't imagine my life without. Watching him become a father has made me love him even more than I thought I could. Happy three years babe, here's to many more!

Ethan's newborn pictures

Ethan Kent DeMille

Ethan was born on october 4th at 10:47 pm. About 2:30 that morning I started bleeding and so we went to labor and delivery. They monitored me for a couple of hours and finally the dr. came in and broke my water and said he didn't feeling comfortable sending me home with the bleeding. They think my placenta could have been abrupting. Anyways, Ethan is the cutest, sweetest little boy in the world and we couldn't love him more or feel more privileged to be his parents. Unfortunately, our little guy is still in the hospital. Delivery was a little rough for him and so he has been in the NICU. Coming home without our little guy was the hardest thing we've ever done. It has been so hard to watch him cry and be miserable and not be able to be able to even pick him up and hold him. I did however get to hold him on Wednesday for the first time. It was the most amazing feeling ever. I was visiting him and he was just crying and crying and nothing the nurses could do would make him feel better. It is the worst feeling as a mother to watch your baby cry and not be able to do anything to comfort him. Finally the nurse agreed to let me hold him for a few minutes and he just calmed right down. Now that his UA is out of his umbilicus, we can hold him as much as we'd like. He is doing a lot better and they moved him into the level 2 nursery last night. All his cultures came back negative and he will finish his antibiotics tomorrow night. He hasn't had a fever or unstable vital signs for days now. The main thing now is just getting him to eat. He has not been able to eat one thing since he was born. It is so sad because he just acts so hungry, even though he is getting IV fluids he doesn't have the satisfaction of eating. He had so much old blood and stuff in his stomach from delivery, so they have been taking things really slow with him eating. We are praying that we can start feeding him soon and so we can bring our baby boy home. This has been one of the biggest emotional roller coaster for us. We were so hopeful that Monday would be the day he could come home, but now that's not looking so good. Please pray for him and that we can bring him home soon!

pat and jordan are married!!

this weekend was pat and jordan's wedding! it was fabulous. we stayed the weekend in midway with danny and liz. we had a blast eating WAY too much sugar, staying up WAY too late, and the boys playing WAY too much x box. but i wouldn't want it any other way. friday was pat and jordan's wedding dinner up at solitude and it was so beautiful up there. we saw 2 moose and had delicious food. saturday was the big day and everything turned out lovely! we are so excited for these two!

well i am 34 weeks along, so that means 6 more weeks at the most! i can not wait to not be pregnant anymore. i honestly don't get the people who say the love being pregnant. i mean it is wonderful feeling the little guy move around and being able to carry him, but i am so over it and ready to be done. plus the fact we are DYING to meet the little guy!

random pic's

dan is playing on a baseball team this summer and has been loving it. they play every saturday and he has been doing very well! go reds!!



this is from our 20 week ultrasound! both our moms got to be there and it was so cool to see everything in such detail. we saw his brain, his hearth pumping blood, his kidneys bladder, all his bones. anyways it was really fun. he is so cute already and in one of the pictures he had his legs crossed so cute like he was just kicking back and relaxing in there. the ultrasound tech knew we already knew it was a boy, but she totally got us by saying "wait a minute, who told you it was a boy?" dan about died! it was funny! but it definitely was still a boy.

pic of my and the twins on my 24th birthday (which was feb. 23) we went to cheesecake factory and i threw up everything.

this was when we found out we were prego. i seriously took like 6 tests to just be sure. i was in shock!

i have really been slacking in the blog world lately. things are wonderful with us. i am 26 weeks which means only 3 months (ish) left! it really is going by fast (and slow) and we cannot wait to have are baby boy here! it has been so fun shopping for him and getting the nursery ready. i will post pics as soon as it's done. other than that not much has been going on. dan is in summer school and is hating every minute of it!
