Baby Shower hosted by Candi and Sarah

Diaper Cake: Is this chocolate or vanilla? Depends if new or used diapers I suppose.

STYLIN!
"Uhh Emi, what are you doing?"
This could only come from one person, THANKS BRI!
The Gang

On Saturday October 13th, many of Natalie's close friends as well as neighborhood friends showed up to again spoil Baby Cohen. Candi Crain (Nat's Matron of Honor) and Sarah Baker (College friend and now neighbor) hosted the party and what a job they did. Natalie said she was so happy to have her friends there to celebrate the coming of Baby Cohen. Emi Lowry came all the way from Chicago. Bri Hutchinson from Lexington and of course Candi from Columbus. We thank everyone for all the gifts and well wishes. We have said it before and we will say it again; we are so lucky and blessed to have this many GREAT FRIENDS!

Baby Room Update

In life, you must always watch out for the tiger behind you.
Even when making every attempt to block him out.
WHO DEY!?
Dreaming of a Chad Johnson Touchdown and a Bengal Win!
Keep Dreaming!

If you like the Bengals, you will love the baby bedding. Now I must admit, when Natalie told me about changing the color accent to orange, I was a little skeptical. But baby bedding isn't a big concern to me and I knew Natalie would make it look great. For those of you that know Natalie, when it comes to swimming with the current, Natalie won't be one of the fish. She likes to try new ideas and styles. You will not see butterflies in the baby room or Winnie the Poo. You won't even see Mickey, Minnie or Donald Duck. Natalie always swims in her own current of water, so when she chose orange, I knew the other fish were no where around! :) But as with anything else decorating-wise that Natalie touches, it is turning in to a pretty cool looking babies room! If we have a boy (which according to our latest USA TODAY GALLOP POLL, 66% of you think it is) he will for sure be a Bengals Fan by the age of 4. In fact, by that time, he may be the ONLY Bengals fan. If it's a girl, Natalie has some great ideas to "feminize" it up, if that's a word. The other 2 pics of Natalie were taken yesterday. Baby Cohen is getting bigger and Mommy is feeling it too but both appear to be doing well.

30 WEEKS DOWN, 10'ISH TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it has been 30 weeks!!?? Natalie is heading for the launching pad as we speak. We have been blessed tremendously that the pregnancy has gone uneventful to this point. Of course thats easy for me to say, I'm not the one with morning sickness, acid reflex, heart burn, vomiting, fatigue, leg pain, leg swelling and headaches. :) Actually, I think Natalie would agree that for the most part, her symptoms have been mild to this point.

Today, we go to the Red Studio toget pictures of us for the baby's room which is near completion. When we get these back in a couple weeks, I will post them on the blog as well. Hope everyone is doing great!

Barrett's aunts and sister Miya threw a fabulous shower for Natalie and Baby Cohen yesterday. The food, games and drink were fantastic and we thank everyone on Barrett's side of the family for their hard work in putting this party together. Baby Cohen is very fortunate to have such great family members on both sides of the tree! Below is a sampling of the pictures taken at the party. We hope you enjoy them!

Dinner at the Geier's

Dr. and Mrs. Geier (Matthew's girlfriends family) were very nice to invite us and the rest of the Cohen family over for dinner last evening. We had a great dinner and even better hospitality. Thanks for everything Geier Family!

Baby did not want to listen to this game, but he/she is surrounded by Orange!

"Is it my birthday yet"? - Baby Cohen

Well, we are in to week number 27. I think I speak for Natalie in saying this is taking FOREVER! I know for me, the first 6 months flew by. But now, it appears to be going in slow motion. Yesterday, Natalie and I went to her mothers to pick up the baby bed and changing table. After about a 3 hour assembly time, it all came together. I am typically good at putting things together, but Graham/Campbell won't be able to disable this bed even if he/she were laying with David Copperfield. Above, is a picture of the new room. We temporarily put red on the bed and changing table just to give it some color. Mommy is in limbo on what color she wants to put in the room. It has been kind of hard not knowing what the sex is going to be, but we both know it will be worth it. Uncle Dustin claims he already knows!! :)

2nd Trimester Wedding

Now I'm not a chick, but I do know one thing; The thought of being in a wedding dress in your 2nd trimester isn't something you look forward to but Natalie is smoking in this bridal dress she wore to Missy's wedding last month. The baby is getting bigger!!!!

Jamaice Part 2

Natalie, myself and 4 other of our friends stayed in Ocho Rios Jamaica. Now if you have ever been to Jamaice or done some research, you know that the main attraction in Ocho is "The Falls". It is a giant waterfall that stretches over 200 ft tall as your progress through it in only water sandles. It can be somewhat dangerous and easy to fall at times. Sadly, Natalie wasn't able to go due to being pregnant but she was a great sport about it. We did manage to get a few photos though.
