Family Photo Shoot

10/18/2015

24 Comments

 
Ahh, it feels good to be back.  I haven't written a blog post in MONTHS!  I hope to start writing regularly again soon.  At least about home improvement projects and my mad- free furniture finding skills!  
Today, however, I'm going to share our new family photos!  These were taken 9 weeks ago, by Drew's wonderful cousin, Sam, and I'm finally getting around to posting them all and sharing them with you.

This was a very impromptu photo shoot.  It was a beautiful day, so I texted Sam one Saturday morning and she came over that afternoon to take some pictures!
First, we attempted a FULL family photo, dogs included.  They weren't cooperating because our neighbor's dog was outside and that's all they could pay attention to!

The best one we got!
Picture
Look at Hoosier's little smile!
Picture
Here, both dogs are staring intently at the neighbor's dog.
Picture
None of us can remember what was happening during this picture, but we'll just assume Rooney farted. Or maybe it was Drew... ;)
After these fantastic fails, we took the dogs inside and had our OWN photo shoot.  (I should probably mention that these were all taken right behind our house, in front of our neighbor's barn.  Pretty convenient.)
Picture
Picture
Next, Sam wanted to try out a little thing she saw on Pinterest.  She gave us each a dry erase board and a marker and instructed us to write the one thing that we loved the MOST about the other.  We turned back to back and got to work.  (Not to make that sound like it was a hard thing to do!  It was easy, of course!)
Picture
Picture
Picture
I thought this was the cutest idea ever, so I was very excited.
Picture
Drew had apparently written, "She feeds me" and this is when Sam told him to put something serious hahaha
Picture
Picture
Picture
YEP!!!!! You read that correctly!!!! This was alllllllll my master plan. (MUAHAHAHAHA) You are about to see Drew find out that he is going to be a Dad!
Picture
The last moment before Drew's life changed FOREVER. No idea what's coming!!!
So before I show you the pictures of the reveal and Drew's reaction, I want to explain things a little bit.  This was 100% an impromptu photo shoot.  However, it as all my idea.  I found out I was pregnant that morning at like 5am.  I already knew exactly how I wanted to tell Drew, so I texted Sam right away asking her if she had time to come take the pictures.  (We had already talked about my plan before, so she had just been waiting on me to say when!)  Drew and I went to breakfast at IHOP, then we went to Lowe's to get some things we needed for the house.  It was SO SO hard to keep this a secret all day long.  I had texted 3 or 4 friends telling them the news because I could NOT hold it in.  I even considered just blurting it out to Drew, but then Sam said she could come later that afternoon!  
We told Drew she bought a new lens and wanted to test it out on us.  I thought having the dogs in some of the pictures would be a good distraction.  The dry erase board was my idea, but Sam pulled it off so well.  She made it seem like it was her plan all along.  She was the best actress EVER.
So I will save you more pain, and go ahead and show you the rest of the pictures!!!!
Picture
It seemed like it took him HOURS to read what I had written!!!
Picture
And then he looked at me like, wait... really?
Picture
WHAAAAT?!?!?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
His face stayed like this for the rest of the day haha
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
He was SO surprised!
All of these were taken in like a 60 second time frame.  But even Sam said it felt like it took Drew FOREVER to read my white board!  I actually never even read his until all of this excitement was over.  I was too focused on his facial expressions!  I could not have asked for a better reaction.  I am SO glad Sam was able to capture this whole moment on camera!
Picture
His said, "Holds me accountable" Which is EVER SO IRONIC!! He's about to be held VERY accountable. hahaha
Picture
LOL
Picture
We.  Are.  So.  Excited.  
So, these photos were taken in August.  (To answer the question I am sure I will get 100 more times, NO.  This was not a wedding reception baby hahaha.  We've already been asked a billion times!! )
I was in fact pregnant on our honeymoon turned babymoon to the Bahamas.  Luckily, I was exactly 5 weeks when we went (I actually found out at 3.5 weeks) so morning sickness hadn't started yet.  But, I couldn't enjoy the fancy alcoholic beverages and we had to cancel our scuba diving adventure.  Snorkeling was JUST as fun though!  
I am 12 weeks along now.  We have had 2 ultrasounds so far and will be getting another one in a month to find out if Baby Shav is a boy or a girl.  My due date is May 3rd at the moment.  1/3 of the way done and happier than ever to be out of the first trimester.  I was one of the lucky ones that got ALL DAY sickness, not just in the morning!  I refer to it as the 3 month pregnancy hangover.  Just unfortunately, without all of the fun the nights before!  I'm feeling much better now and am starting to get my energy back!  The dogs haven't enjoyed me coming home from work and napping all afternoon!  (I have though!!!)
I have some funky cravings- but usually can't eat whatever they are because besides water and saltines nothing else really agrees with my stomach.  It's all worth it though!  
Picture
Here was our first little peek at Baby Shav. This was at 6 weeks. Even then, I could see and hear its little heart beating. It was SO cool.
Picture
This was our 10 week ultrasound. During this one, Baby Shav was moving ALLLLL over the place. Kicking and punching and being cute.
There's the video of Baby Shav squirming all around.  

So, now EVERYONE knows our news!  It has been ridiculously hard keeping this a secret for the last 9 weeks.  At times I was very envious of all the women who didn't find out they were pregnant until 6 or 7 weeks.  Knowing early was amazing, but it meant keeping a secret for even longer!

We are beyond excited and cannot wait to be parents.  Now that the secret is out, there will be updates whenever we have them.  Stay tuned for the gender reveal sometime around Thanksgiving!  And I'm sure the nursery reveal will follow very shortly after;)  I'm way too anxious to get that set up and ready to go!  

Love and miss all of our friends and family back home, or where ever you might be!  (Germany, Italy, Japan, Colombia, Spain, the list goes on and on!

I know you don't know me, but that was an adorable blog, so sweet!!
Olivia, I sub in the cafeteria with your mom, and Drew, I worked with your mom at NBC33. I'm sure you don't remember me, you were just a little guy then. I haven't seen your mom, Sandy, since then. When I started subbing and seeing pictures of your wedding, etc., we put things together and realized I knew both your moms. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you both congratulations and what an adorable way to give daddy to be the great news!!! 😊

Online casinos have become so popular and their variety is so huge that it's becoming harder and harder to choose the right one between them all. To entice new casino players some casinos would offer great casino bonus promotions from no deposit casino bonuses to exclusive High Rollers bonuses.
