So we've had a busy few weeks! Week 24 - I started consulting with the American Cancer Society which is going great. I have a handful of projects that I'll be taking on while one of the women from Corporate Communications is out on Maternity Leave. They are mainly internal projects but it's really interesting moving to the Client side vs the fast-paced Agency life I am used to! Things move a lot slower here but it's good because I am moving A LOT slower these days with this big belly! I thought I would show it off this week...
Week 25 - We surprised Steve's sister Mary for her birthday in Chicago and had a long Memorial Day Holiday weekend (thanks IV for treating us to your Southwest miles for tickets!). Two out of three of Steve's brother's (Dave & Mike - below) were also able to make it so we had a huge Dojnik Family affair!
We went on a Frank Lloyd Wright walking tour with Kris, Dave and Baby Charlie (although we don't think he's a fan of Frank just yet!). Mary and Mike headed back before the tour got started as Mike had to get back to Minnesota.
We also ate at Nightwood - a yummy organic/sustainable restaurant for Mary's Birthday Dinner - http://www.nightwoodrestaurant.com/about.html - and had the yummiest strawberry shortcake for dessert! IV and Mary hosted a BBQ one afternoon where we had a chance to meet a lot of IV and Mary's friends and they had a chance to meet the new addition! Charlie must have been going through withdrawl after we all left since I don't think he was put down for more than 15 minutes ever! He was passed around more than a superbowl football!
Charlie has the two cutest older brother and sister - Eva and Harrison - who are AWESOME! They shower Charlie with affection here are some great shots that showcase their love for the little guy.
Week 26 and now moving into Week 27 we have a Cauliflower on our hands! HerHe is 2 pounds and about as large as a head of Cauliflower...
Our neighbors were kind enough to pass along a beautiful baby crib that has been used by 3 different families and 8 children. The oldest of which is just getting their driver's license! It's perfect and is still in the regulatory guidelines for child crib safety. Having that in the baby room REALLY makes it a reality now! They even had some custom bedding which makes it look super cute!
I'll be sure to post some pics next time! In the meanwhile - this was passed along from our friend Patti - I can only hope our children are this sweet.
Love that baby bump, you really look great Dana. You and Steve both look like naturals holding Charlie. You just look so ready for your own baby. I don't know maybe it's just my mind but you both look so happy and glowing. I couldn't be happier for the two of you. Hope everything continues as well as it's been. all my love xoxoxo
