Baby

Seven and an Official Announcement

Derek · Mar 15, 2016 ·

Derek & Erica At the Beach

As of last week, Erica and I have been married for 7 years. It’s been a fun 7 years and it’s pretty crazy to think it’s been that long already. We celebrated our 7 years a little early with a date night the weekend before.

Erica planned the night and it was a lot of fun! We went out for dinner at The Blistered Pig and then saw a movie (Zootopia), plus made a quick stop to look for new baby gates. We had to adult a little. She also had a special song she played when we first left. It actually mentions 7 years! Check it out below.

Speaking of babies, with baby number 2 on the way, I get a lot of people who ask, “do you know what you guys are having yet?” I like to answer that question with, “a human baby.” After all, it’s really the answer to the question.

With Elias, I thought it would be fun to not find out the gender, but we decided to go ahead and find out. With baby number 2, we also decided to find out. So, another way to answer that question would be, “yes, we do know what we are having.”

Anyway, I think Erica and I would both highly recommend The Blistered Pig. They have some delicious food! Zootopia was good too. Go watch it!

Are you wondering why I haven’t told you the gender yet? Part of me likes prolonging the anticipation while you wait. Although, in this instance, a lot of you already know. We haven’t been keeping it much of a secret. We just haven’t made an official announcement I guess.

But, that’s what this post is for. Well, this post is also to tell you that Erica and I have been married for 7 years. 7 years!!!

Okay, okay… I’ll tell you. Baby number 2 is a girl!

She is also human.

Now, a quick recap:

  1. Erica and I have been married for 7 years.
  2. Baby number 2 is human and is also a girl.

Thanks for following along, caring about us enough to ask questions and dealing with my responses!

Eli: month 12

Derek · Dec 13, 2015 ·

I’m a little bit in denial that my baby isn’t really a baby anymore!  Our big man is ONE!

We have loved the past year with Elias. There have been challenges, of course, but he brings us so much joy! (And noise–as I’m writing this, he’s chewing on a megablock and yelling). I’m kind of excited to be done with the monthly updates, but I’ll try to still write every now and then about what our little guy is up to. [Read more…] about Eli: month 12

Eli: month 11

Erica · Nov 18, 2015 ·

It’s been such a fun month with Elias! I feel like over the past month, his personality has really blossomed. This, of course, has some good sides and some bad sides. [Read more…] about Eli: month 11

Eli: month 10

Erica · Oct 19, 2015 ·

I am a whole 9 days late on this update! Eli is a man on the move! He loves crawling, exploring, and getting in to everything! [Read more…] about Eli: month 10

Eli: month 9

Erica · Sep 16, 2015 ·

Welp, a whole other month has passed (plus almost a week!), so I guess it’s time for an Eli update.

We’ve been having so much fun with Eli! There are definitely a couple of things I miss about the newborn stages, but overall, these older baby months are the best! [Read more…] about Eli: month 9
