Thanksgiving #3

I went up to my brother's house on Friday to spend my third Thanksgiving with my brothers and my dad.  Tim did not go with me...I think he ate too much turkey the night before.  Actually, I think that he has a food allergy to seafood and spent all day Friday sick.  In this picture you see Tyler trying to fly a kite with Nathan, Kyle, and Allison.  The kite flying was very unsuccessful.  There was never enough wind and they never got it to take off.

You see how Kyle really feels about his little brother.  When they weren't posing for this picture, they spent the rest of the day wrestling and throwing each other on the floor.  I told the boys while I was watching them wrestle, that I was glad Rachel is a girl. 

Here is Tyler and Jaylin playing foosball.  Allison is the best scorekeeper.  She watches and when somebody scores she moves the slider over for them.

Thanksgiving #2

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday at Tim's parents house.  My mom and David joined us there.  

Again, Tim ate too much Turkey.  I think he uses it as an excuse to be able to sit in front of the TV and watch more football.

Thanksgiving #1

We celebrated Thanksgiving #1 at my mom's house.  She didn't want everybody to worry about all of the other Thanksgiving's they have to make it to on Thursday, so she decided to do it on Sunday instead.  It worked out really well...

except Tim ate way too much Turkey and was having a hard time staying awake.

Hurley (Brianne's dog) really wanted to play with Julia's (Ziggy's daughter) Home Depot flag that she found.

ZJ (Zig Junior, they actually call him EJ for Ernie Jr.)...is a very happy boy.  He is 10 months old.

The boys are all sitting around watching football.  That's a big shocker.

The Birthday After Party

After we went out to dinner with Tim's parents, we went to a bar.  It was 9 boys and me.  They all wanted to have a good time, since Tim is going to be taking a year off from drinking.  The surprising part for me was that I was able to hang out with them until 1:00 am.  Since I have been pregnant, I usually go to bed at around 8:00.  Over the last couple of weeks, I have finally been getting some energy back.  I think everybody was surprised I hung out that long.  

Tim's 27th Birthday

Tim's parents and I got him a HD video camera for his birthday.  I spent more than our normal limit, but I figured the present wasn't just for his birthday, it is also "for the baby".

The boys couldn't wait to give Tim his gifts.

Sam's roommate gave Tim some pottery that he spent hours making.  Tim wasn't exactly sure what it was.  Once he explained it though, Tim thought it was really cool.

Jillian Lewko is here!

Jillian Lewko

Born on 11/17/08

6 lbs. 10 oz.

19 1/2 inches long

The Lewko Family...except Brody (the dog)

1 down...2 to go.  Marie Has about 6 weeks left, while I have 19 weeks to go.

19 and a half weeks

These were taken at 19 and a half weeks.  They are not nearly as good as the last ones, but they do include one important piece of information.  The first one is an arm with a hand and fingers.  The second one is an elbow.  The last one is the most important one.  Even though you may not be able to tell just by looking at it, the arrow is pointing at Rachel's girl parts.  Rachel was being very shy with her face in the corner and her hand over her face the entire appointment, but she did show us the one thing that we were really hoping to see.  Her current stats are: 9 inches and 11 ounces.  She is in the 43rd percentile for size.  The doctor said that the closer to 50 percent that she is, the better.  So, being a math teacher, I feel pretty comfortable with 43 percent. :)

15 and a half weeks

These were taken at 15 and a half weeks.  The baby is sucking its thumb in the first one, the second picture is the same picture without the thumb, and the third one is the doctor trying to figure out if it is a boy or a girl.  The baby kept its legs in the way the whole time and did not want to show us anything.  Dr. Langford said that he didn't see any boy parts, but couldn't be sure with what he was seeing.

Our Cats

These are our babies.  Kitten is on the left and Sarabi is on the right.

Pregnant Pals

These are 2 of my other pregnant friends, Marie and Kristyn.  Kristyn is due any day now and Marie is due in about 9 weeks.  We all worked together at the Sports Center and have remained friends ever since.  Tim still works with Marie at the Sports Center.
