Week 21

Happy Friday from Elle! Our little lady must really love Fridays - she was excitedly kicking and elbowing me all day at work :) Its been a couple weeks since our last post, we've both been super busy with work, and a dental emergency for poor Doug. Things have settled a bit though and we are enjoying every moment of pregnancy. Can you believe the growth of my belly between our last post and now? The doctor said Elle was almost 1 pound at 20 weeks and that is a big, big baby! For the ladies, I've picked out Elle's bedding and room design. Her colors are light pink with black and white damask patterns. We even found an economical crystal chandelier with pink shades - too fun! Now we just need an awesome light pink shag rug and we are on our way! Hugs and love to you all.... Doug, Erin & Elle

ELLE PEDERSEN

Week 18 / 19

And you all thought this blog couldn't get any "pink-er"... the pink is in celebration of the news we received Wednesday, little Pedersen is a GIRL! Doug and I are so delighted to welcome little Elle Pedersen September 1, 2009! I am also relieved that I don't have to return the few items I've purchased, all of which are for girls, of course. As we take this picture we are ending Week 18 and starting Week 19. Dressing a baby bump is super fun and (other than frequent headaches) I am feeling fabulous! We are loving being pregnant and are super busy with home improvement projects, Elle has very high standards for her new home apparently.

Love and hugs to all, Doug, Erin & Elle
