October 7th, 2008-Welcoming Fall in Colorado

We just got home from Church and thought we would take some updated Pictures of the Frick Family. For all who have been asking, yes I am showing!

Dr. Appointment #4 10-1-07 17 weeks Pregnant

I had another Dr.'s appointment yesterday and Eli was able to come. They asked the normal questions and we listened to the heart beat. It was such a blessing to hear the babies heart beating. We have had a few ladies in our congregation miscarry recently and it just set our minds at ease to hear that our baby is still doing well. They didn't measure the heart rate this time, but the Dr said she thought it was fast, around 155. That kind of threw Eli and I off because every other time it has been in the 170's so we were thinking it was a girl.

The "SEX" appointment is on the 22nd at 3pm. We can't wait to find out what we are having. Eli and I are both leaning toward thinking it is a girl at this point, but we may be surprised. My mom is still determined that it is a girl, although she did have a baby boy dream the other night.

I have started rubbing my belly and feeling pregnant! I thank God multiple times a day for our little miracle and I just can't stop smiling!

Love you all!

Frick's Place

Hello from the Frick Family,

Eli, Melissa, Sadie (our 4 year old chocolate lab), and Lucias (our 3 year old Rottweiler) and baby due to arrive in March. We live in Dacono Colorado.

First Trip to see Mia and Papa in Florida 9-6-07/9-11-07

Eli and I just got back from a trip to Florida to see his family. It was a wonderful and relaxing time. I am finally over my cold and I feel well rested. Eli's parents Norma and David have decided that they would like to be called Mia and Papa by the baby!

We spent some time at the beach and at their pool. Eli was finally able to take his dad out for sushi which David did enjoy. They also spent a day golfing at Gator Creek and they did see some gators.

Norma took me on a shopping spree for maternity clothes. We had a great time. I even tried on one of the dresses with the little strap on belly. She introduced the baby to everyone with such pride and excitement by patting my belly!

We met Margarets son Devlin for the first time and he is a cutie! We were able to have a night out with Margaret and Evan while Norma and David watched Devlin.

We flew back in on September 11th and the flight was just fine. We had just called Eli's parents to let them know that we arrived safely and then we got in a car accident. We are fine and the car is only slightly dinged up but it was a pretty major accident for the other car. All 4 people were taken in the ambulance to the hospital. A man pulled out in front of their car and hit them and then as they were spinning they hit us and they ended up in a ditch and were pretty banged up and disoriented. We had to stay around to give a police report and get the mans insurance info to get our car fixed, but praise God all of the Fricks are fine.

Dr. Appointment #3 9-4-07

This was a simple appointment. The Dr listened to the baby's heart beat and it sounded strong! All is well. They did not measure the rate of the heart beat this time....but it sure sounded fast!

I had my first and hopefully my only cold while pregnant. It was a doozy and let me tell you Tylenol does nothing for a sinus headache and I can't say that Sudafed helps a whole lot either.
I asked the Dr if there were any other drugs I could take and she just laughed and said,"only what is on the list," ie: Tylenol and Sudafed!

Dr. Appointment #2 8-7-07

This one was much more fun!

We had another ultrasound-1st one from the Dr, but the second one for us since Kim did one for us back in NE. The heart beat was still fast about 175 (my mom is sure this means it's a girl, but then again she said it was a girl from the day I told her I was pregnant!) The baby looks great and I still feel great.
