June 16th Baby Shower

We had another fantastic shower at Lopez (a Meloy tradition) hosted by my in laws - Jan, Judy, and Angela. We had some great enchiladas and had fun opening presents. My nephew Peyton was an honorary host and is in one of the pictures. And Angela is expecting her 2nd baby boy September 3rd, 4 days before my official due date! The cute booties are from Michelle Riley and were hand made!!! They are still on our mantle so they can stay as far away as possible from Oatmeal (our dog that has an uncanny ability to destroy socks). Thanks again for the wonderful shower!

June 9th Baby Shower

Our second baby shower was a couples shower and was a blast! Matt and I both had a great time and I think all the girls enjoyed watching Matt open some of the baby gifts. The shower was hosted by Kelly & Aaron, Michelle & Anthony, Jason & Denise, Matt & Sarah, Margaret, and Greg. We can't thank them enough for the great food and wonderful time we had! We even had a group of girls drink an entire bottle of non-alcoholic wine without even knowing it! I still laugh about that.

June 2nd Baby Shower

Here are some pictures from my baby shower on Saturday. We had fun tasting baby food, measuring my belly, and testing our knowledge of the cost of baby products. The shower was hosted by Valerie and Carolyn, and was at my mom's house. Thanks for all the hard work! I had a great time and was thrilled to get all the baby stuff.

More Ultrasound Pics

Here are some more ultrasound pictures. The babies weighed in with Ella at 2 lbs 2 oz and Mark at 1 lb 15 oz. In the past month, Ella has flipped around, so both babies are head down now and facing left. Everything looked good so far and now I'll start seeing the doc every 2 weeks, though I'll still get ultrasounds monthly. Mark is baby A in the pictures and Ella is baby B. The last 3-D picture is of Ella and she's holding her hand up to her eye. Mark didn't want to cooperate, so we couldn't get a good picture of his face. Maybe next time. :)

Belly Pictures

I'm finally getting the pictures of my belly off my camera! The first was when I was 15 weeks. I didn't want to show the picture to anyone because I thought I looked big and bumpy, but now I'm thinking I looked pretty darn good. :) The second was taken at a wedding on May 5, so I was about 22 weeks then.

More Ultrasound Pictures

We had our second ultrasound today and everything looked good. They are in the same position with the boy head down and the girl feet down. She wouldn't be still the entire time and got comments from both the technician and the doctor. We got to see a cute yawn and some swallowing motions, too! Both are measuring great and the girl weighs in at 1 pound and the boy is close behind at 15 ounces.

We tried to get a picture with both babies, but they are getting a little big for that. In the pictures, Baby B is the girl and Baby A is the boy. In one of the pics, you can see a little circle on the boy's eye, that's his lens. I thought that was pretty cool. We could even see him moving his eye around by watching the little circle move.

Ultrasound Pics!

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound on 3/28. I was 17 weeks along and everyone measured great. We found out that we are having a boy and girl and they are positioned head to feet at the moment. The babies were all over the place, which made some of the pictures hard to take.
