Baby Helmkamp's Room

The baby's room is just about complete, the frames above the dresser need pictures and I want to make a valance for the window.

The hanging above the crib shows his initials but I had to blur them out to keep the secret. The artwork on the wall above the book shelf is Travis' vision, an art piece depicting the the Big 10. The most important being the red one on the far left (Go Nebraska!).

Well school has started and my belly has grown quite a bit. Our little boy is kicking quite often and he enjoys poking me on both the right (butt and feet) and left (what I can only assume is his elbow) sides.

It is definitely getting more uncomfortable to sit. I am still getting sleep though less comfortable. I have taken over both body pillows in the bed so that I don't have move the body pillow, I just roll over to the next one.

Since July we have been blessed with 3 more showers. Thank you to my Mom and Rachel for throwing me a shower in Red Bud for friends and family. Thank you also to the wonderful staff at Zion for the gifts and great food. And finally thank you to the Anger family for a wonderful afternoon at Louis and Clark restaurant in St. Charles.

Alright so I am a little behind on updating this blog!

In July we enjoyed our first shower thrown by Travis' Dad's congregation, Holy Cross in Shelbyville, IL. We got lots of great gifts and got to spend some good family time together.

Here is a bump picture from later that week.
