Week 21 - It's a BOY!


We went in for our ultrasound last week and found out that we're having a BOY! Beth was a bit surprised because her mother's instinct said it was a girl, but this is probably the first of many wrong turns she takes in the crazy game they call parenting! We are super stoked it's a boy and are already knee deep in blue swatches for the nursery! We've already decided on the name - GAVIN - and are working on middle names. Gavin will carry on his name for the 5th generation of Lewii, and will be the first to have it as a first name! Interesting factoids (to us at least!). We are mostly choosing the name in honor of two of the most wonderful men we know - Gavin's Great Grandpa and his Gandy.

We included some pics from the ultrasound, some bump pics from today and some pictures from our very "in progress" nursery :) Enjoy!

I love his little round face and cute button nose already!!!!

He was super chill - already taking after his Daddy - thank goodness :D  

Geoff calls this one his "Alex Grey" - Tool fans take note. I'm not going to include any of his wee wee, but he's definitely a BOY! You've got to retain some of his dignity - at least until he starts talking (he is the spawn of me and Geoff...).




In order to get the couches out of the room we're making a nursery, Geoff had to get a reciprocating saw and go crazy on the couch legs -- needless to say, it was one of the greatest moments of his life! (see below)


Ugly Brown! Pre-painting!

Primer - check!


The dogs were really bored, but luckily not covered in white by the time we were done!
Beth's new car! LOVE IT!

Week 19, Almost Halfway There!

Sorry everyone, we are already struggling to find time to keep up this blog! Once the baby comes, we will be all over it like white on rice :)

We are almost halfway though this whole pregnancy thingie, and it's going GREAT! I love being pregnant, it's been really easy so far (I'm one of those lucky ones). Lately my lower back has been KILLING me, but that may also have to do with the whole broken pelvis issue too. Being on my feet all day teaching is rough, and I know it will get worse, but it's so worth it!

We are going to find out the gender of the baby on TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We could not be ANY MORE EXCITED! Beth in particular is going absolutely nuts waiting. She already has names, bedding and color schemes picked out for either scenario... talk about a nesting freak. Poor Geoff knows that he has to rip up our old carpet and build a wall once we know the sex, so his excitement is... a bit tempered :)

Here are some pics from today! Who is winning the Bump Challenge, me or Geoff? You be the judge!


You can finally really see my bump in pictures! I don't just look bloated! LOVE IT!



Also, our blog cannot be complete without some pictures of our nephew Isaiah (Beth's new reason for living!) and our first child, Lucifer.

She's so flippin' gorgeous in her Christmas bow!

Besties for life.

The most handsome boy in the world with his lovely Gamma!

Too much Christmas dinner!

Our beautiful Christmas surprise from my sister Jenna and family :) They are STILL brightening our living room!
