Irene

Lonnie and I are sending well wishes to our family and friends back home as Irene approaches! It's always great to live on the coast until hurricane season comes!! Please say a little prayer for everyone who may be impacted by this storm!!

Hello from Detroit!

We are in our second city of the family road trip and it has been a blast! Our first stop was Chicago and I can honestly say I love that city!! I'm updating from my
Phone so as soon as I get back i will upload some pictures I took. We are now in Detroit but are staying 30 min away in this really cute area with the most comfortable beds I have ever laid my body on!! I may not want to leave haha. As for baby boy he is kicking up a storm as I type. I think Lon and I have come to an agreement on a name finally, Cutter David. It's unique and sounds great with Chisenhall:) but who knows we could change our
Minds again!! We get back to Cleveland Sunday night and get to be home
For a while before I make my way to NC for 10 days, yay!! Goodnight for now!!

Surprise Baby Shower

So yesterday I made my way to Columbus from Cleveland for a, what I thought was a wedding shower, for Casey. Turns out it was a baby shower for me too! Those girls are so sweet and thoughtful and really made me miss them even more. I got some really cute outfits for baby biglon and a gift card to babies r us, let the shopping begin :) I also got to see Alicia and baby Kens for the first time since spring training which was amazing! Once I have the pics from Casey sent over to me I will post them for everyone to see. It was such a great time and so good seeing everybody. I have an appointment for baby boy tomorrow morning here in Columbus then I'm heading back to Cleveland.

Cravings, Kicks and Flips and Baby Names

This was at 15 weeks I do believe

How cute is that hate!! 

This is one of my favorites, RAWR!

Waiting for his daddy to get home from the hospital, he was so excited :)

Britt is engaged!!!!!! Her ring is beautiful (made by the same jeweler that made mine) and I couldn't be happier for her and Grant!

They now sell "Chisenhall" shirts in the team store. So exciting and oh so proud!

My stomach is starting to shift up, 18 weeks

Mmmmm, my newest craving. I cut up a huge thing of strawberries and finished them off in 2 days!

Fenway Park, such a great experience

The other night at the game all I wanted was something sour. So after the game instead of taking a cab Lonnie and I walked back to the hotel and stopped at a gas station to get me some sour patch kids, they did just the trick :)

Time is flying by here in Cleveland and I can't believe that it is already August! School will be starting back home soon and I have to admit I am kinda sad I won't be setting up a classroom. I know my mom is feeling the same way after going at it for 30 years! Baby Chis has been doing lots of moves in mommy's belly and it is so amazing to feel! I will lay on the bed or sit on the couch for an hour or so trying to feel every single movement. He loves strawberries :) We have been thinking about some names and while we can't really agree at this point in time I think it is going to come down between Tucker Maddox (Tuck) or Hudson Maddox. Lonnie picked the middle name Maddox and loves it. We are going to have a lot of company this upcoming week and I'm very excited! Monday, 3 of our friends from high school are coming up and leaving on Friday just in time for my mom and family to get here for the weekend! I made a trip to Boston the past few days and what an experience it was. Red Sox fans are brutal and very dedicated! This weekend I will be driving down to Columbus to see my girls for a baby and wedding shower and then Monday I have a doctors appointment!

Difficulties

I know I am horrible about updating this blog and the one night I sit down to upload pictures I have technical difficulties! My pictures won't upload after several attempts, so I will try again tomorrow! I have pictures of my latest cravings and a few from my trip to Boston. I am going on 18 weeks and I am feeling great. I still get a bad headache from time to time and have my days where I am exhausted, but I feel better than ever overall. Goodnight from Cleveland, I will attempt this again in the morning! :)
