Here are the pics! of the belly!

So, here I am at a little over 16 weeks. ! The little bean is showing. it's very hard to take these belly pictures on my own. Note to self, wait till Travas gets home to take them for me!


If you look close, you can see pearl at my feet. she never misses a photo op.

Right now I am home in the Bay Area (ca) directing a show, having a great time, counting the days to go home so I can find out the SEX! I'm dying to know. I just want to start shopping already!!! I also ordered my first maternity clothes on line. I am planning for the day, I get really fat and need them a bit more than I do now.

so...onto 19 weeks. This is me 19 weeks with child...

So, now I know there is for sure something in there. I don't feel him/her yet. Hopefully, I will soon. Hope you enjoy me getting fat!

tryin to upload baby belly pics...

...not much success. I left my USB cable at home and can't find one that fits my camera. I took a 16 week belly pic, for ya'll to see, and can't upload it. more to come.

Thought I'd give some random updates that might be of interest. hmmmm...

I met my new cousin Judah! he's a doll and it's so weird to see my cuz Amy as a mommy, but it seems to be a prefect fit. he's so tiny! It's also weird because one of our baby boy names that we like is Jude, so that would be Jude and Judah, we are in talks now with my cousins to start a boy band. More on that later. Hit us back in 16 years.

Everyone seems to wonder about my cravings. And yes, I have had them for quite sometime now, they have come and gone...

at first it was chicken pot pies. I ate so many chicken pot pies that just , now typing the words are making me sick. I went to the grocery store and bought one, then the SAME day went back and bought 7 more. I, like a champ, ate 6 in oh, about 3 or 4 days and couldn't stomach the sight of the last one, and hid it in the back of my freezer....yuck!

limeade. I drank that like it's going out of style. And mind, you, it's damn hard to find limeade!

fruits. any kind of sweet fruit. blackberry's especially.

pizza. I don't know if I can put this under the craving category, because baby or no baby, I crave pizza. So, when it's born I will just say, "oooohhh you made mommy eat so much pizza!" and then riddle them with guilt for the size of my ass for the next 18 years. Good Plan!

Things I am NOT eating that I usually love!

chocolate. It's so weird. I LOVE chocolate, and for some reason the smell and even sight of chocolate turns my stomach. That is one of the weirdest things! That and Mickey Rourke winning that Golden Globe. how weird was THAT?

soda. I usually drink a few soda's a week. And even though I know it's not good for me and the babes, I thought it would be harder to give up...not so much!

anyway, there is my useless food information you were all dying to know.

We will know in a few weeks the sex. I'm going into my 18th week! I can't believe how the time is flying and how much better I feel than week 6, 7 and 8. And by the way, about those hard first few months, I would like to talk to the guy (and it was DEFINITELY a man), who decided to call it "morning sickness"....veeeeery deceiving mister. I'd like to call Obama and ask if he can legally change it to "all day sickness"...because who ever said it was confined to the morning is a LIAR!

oh yeah, and GO OBAMA! rock our socks off, like we know you can! and....YES WE CAN!

love to all.
pics on the next post, even if I have to sketch em!

Welcome to our bloggy blog. I say "our" to be nice. Travas thinks this stuff is cheesy. But, get on board buddy, it's all down hill form here!

That's us! From our amazing wedding! A perfect day with our beautiful families and amazing friends at Tappan Hill Mansion and after party at our favorite local bar, Perdition. We danced, laughed, ate wonderful food, and were touched at how far people had come to share our special day. It was a day to remember, and we thank everyone for not only traveling but for all their generosity throughout our engagement and wedding. For those of you who could not make it for one reason or another, you were missed. 

We still have our wedding website up: www.ellynandtravas.com

We were thrilled with ou

r photographer Dave Cross, for a peek at our w

edding pics you can go to www.after.davecrossweddings.com. If you see something you like you can email me at ellyn312@yahoo.com and I can give you the info to order. He's pretty reasonable with his prints!

Onto the reason for this blog! Drum roll....oh come ON! you all know! We are gonna hear the pitter patter of little feet, June 24th! On, or around June 24th. I just tried scanning my sonogram but it didn't work. more to come. So the things we know. It's about 13 cm right now. And i

t's a ham, because everytime I have an ultrasound it turns to face the camera...you THINK I'm kidding....it's so true!

So we are going to use this blog to keep everyone abreast (haha!) of our progress and how our life is going to change. (we plan on moving to a bigger apt etc) feel free to leave us comments or email us. Before anyone asks, we do not know the sex. I am DYING to know, Trav wants it to be a surprise...so I am going to try and keep my big mouth shut....we'll see!

Love to all and we are so happy to share our upcoming adventure with you....!

Here's to the Journey ahead.....
