33 Weeks-- Baby Bump!

33 weeks have passed and LOOK at how much I've grown. Its crazy how much of a baby bump I have! I don't think I ever looked like this with Ish. I know I've definitely gained a lot of weight (still not as much as with Ish) but well enough still. Looking at this picture makes me smile, knowing that my body is doing such a great job providing everything that Little Nagy needs to grow properly! Only 6 more weeks til we get to meet the little one!! Today I put in my Maternity Leave/Time Off request at work. The dates I have requested are June 28 (last day at work) through August 9 (date to return to work). I am taking the full amount of time allowed for leave. Mentally, I am ready for Little Nagy to get here but I know that the house is not ready for a newborn. I'm terrible at being organized!! I know I'll get to it, but I also know I'll put it off til the last minute. Thats just my style!

Latest Pregnancy News

I am severely bloated and have horrible cramps in my right calf. It is not enjoyable, plus this heat we've been experiencing is draining me physically. I don't want to sound like I am complaining but I am just letting you know whats up with Little Nagy & I these days. Hopefully a belly pic will be uploaded one day next week. And maybe you'll get to see my sexy swollen feet, ankles, and calves!! Until then have a wonderful weekend...I'm off to go read a magazine and possibly take a nap!!

Postcard Invitations

Thank you VistaPrint.com!
This is our RSVP POSTcard that will be mailed out with all of the wedding invitations. Of course, I will put a stamp on all of these so that all my guests need to do it mark whether they'll be attending our reception or not, then drop it in the mailbox!! How easy, no messing with envelopes. Plus, they are already marked (on the back) with our address so that saves us from hand writing our address up to 70 times!! What a relief that is for me.
And this is our wonderful Wedding (Yes, Postcard again) Invitation. Even though this is another postcard it will be mailed out in an envelope with the above RSVP card inside. I thought it was a pretty good idea on my behalf-- just sayin'. Also, the two cards are different sizes. The RSVP card is half the size of the wedding invitation.


Please if you notice any misspelling or typos, DONT TELL ME. I will cry. I've looked it over about a ba-jillion times before (and after) I officially ordered them. And if I catch them now, it'll be too late. So spare me the embarrassment.

Elimination & Nominated Names

Alright Folks, These are our top 6 (Steve picked) Baby Names (I took it upon myself to eliminate Elroy. I don't know why it wasn't eliminated sooner, probably just Steve's way of "messing" with me)

Lukacs (pronounced Lu-KA-SH), Patrik, Rezse, David, Markus, Maxwell & Bryant (RE-added by me)

We are officially done eliminating single names as I've come up with a list of First and Middle name combos for this baby (below).
In no particular order:

I left a couple open spaces because Steve informed me last night that he had thought of a 'really good name' but that he had forgotten what it was. I am leaving it open to discussion (granted that he remembers what the name was) because I am always open to new ideas. I know I am not the perfect baby name chooser. Truthfully there are only a couple of names on the above list that I really like, my #1 pick name isn't even on there because I know Steve would eliminate it first and I don't want to get my own hopes up! We have 7 weeks left and 8 names to eliminate, this name choosing process might drag out til the very end, especially if we add a couple more possible names to the list.

Ultrasound Today!!

32 Weeks-- 7 weeks left to go!!

Littlest Nagy was being a tad bit camera shy and was trying to cover up his/her face during the entire appointment, so these are the best pictures we ended up getting. I'm not disappointed at all because we received some great news that our little baby is growing perfectly. Its estimated weight is at 4lbs and the head size is normal! :)


I think in the picture below, this baby looks sooo much like Ish. I am convinced NOW more than ever that its going to be another Nagy Boy!! I better get crackin' on that baby name list.

I am feeling wonderful (minus some annoying leg cramps). Next week I go to the doctor AGAIN for another check up. Today's appointment was an Ultrasound appointment only. I enjoy going to the doctor just so I can hear the doctor say that everything looks good, but I am more than ready for the next 7 weeks to be over already so that I can meet this little guy or gal!! The month of May is a busy month for us and I'm sure June will be just as eventful, especially since we'll be getting ready for this ones arrival the last week of June!!

Tough Decisions!

Dress #1

Dress #2

I have found two beautiful flower girl dresses for my UPCOMING wedding. I have two flower girls ages 3 and 5, should they both wear the same dress or should I have them go down the aisle seperately with two different dresses on. Its such a tough decision because I could see the younger girl in dress #1 and the older girl in dress #2. I don't know why I have to make things like this so hard on myself! Maybe I should just let the parent of these two little girls choose?? Either way I know they will look soo adorable!

Quick Elimination

Steve surprised me this morning by eliminating two more names on our 'Name List'. I didn't ask him to so I guess this is a surprise blog for all of you too!

Steve eliminated Ozkar and Paxton. Since we are getting down to the nitty gritty Steve did eliminate another one of my TOP 5 'Traditional' names but I'm not upset over it at all. (Steve's Top 5 Hungarian names were the same as my TOP 5) I am excited about the possibilities of the names left and hope that we can agree on the perfect name for this baby. I wouldn't be surprised if this baby turns out to be a girl because of all the thought process I went through just to figure out a boy name!! But I am having fun doing it this way!! I think we will only have one more elimination (1 Hungarian name and 2 Traditional names) then we will go into a new elimination process...you shall have to wait and see what I have in mind!

Columbus Zoo!

We stopped at our favorite restaurant in Mount Vernon before we headed to Columbus.
Allison's Finer Diner!!
They have Strawberry Pancakes.

Ish says they are MMmmmMmmm GOOD!!!

Daddy stopped at McD's to get Ish a snack. Ish fell asleep (with a french fry in his hand) on our way to the Columbus Zoo!!

Zooming Around the Zoo!

Daddy pushing Ish in his buggy.

We were only there for 10 minutes and already Steve wants to take a nap!!

At the first exhibit::

POLAR BEARS!!

Mr. Bear catching some Z's, I could hear him snoring through the glass!

Ishy and Daddy getting a closer look.


An extra close view of the fish in this tank. Ish absolutely loves the fish!

A stop at the Playground area.

Wee!!! Down the slide we go!!

At the elephant exhibit, Ish had to nearly stand up to see the elephants walking around. I was surprised he enjoyed watching them so much.

Of course I tried to take a 'boys' photo together but Ish wouldn't cooperate.

But I did get two nice shots of them walking and holding hands together. As a parent, I was so proud that Ish insisted on holding hands for almost the entire trip (when he was outside of his 'buggy') He really is growing into such a 'big boy' :)

More sleeping animals. It must have been nap time at the Zoo!

Mommy and Ish standing near the waterfall. (I dont even look 7 months pregnant from the front)

A better shot of the 'guys'

Inside the Aquarium::

Ish was loving the 'Big' Fishes!

We probably could have spent all day inside there. Ish would laugh and giggle as the fish swam by him and he DEFINITELY wanted to touch them!

On the Carousel::

Everything started out alright...

And then fear set in....

Then came the screams and tears!!

But then Daddy saved the day! Our Hero!!


At the Kangaroo Exhibit::

Kangaroos pretty much have full range on where they want to go. The only thing seperating you from them is a "fence" a stick attached to a thick wood poles. Its cool for the kids but as a parent I'm not too sure about how "safe" that could possibly be!

A big ole gorilla..

Ish leaning back in his buggy. We were nearing the end of the zoo and I think he could sense it was almost time to go.

BIG KUDOS to ANYONE who can identify what this animal is....

I thought it was some kinda Zebra but the proper name for this animal is Opaki. I'd never heard of it before but I found it quite interesting.

Flamingos:: Aren't they beautiful??

Time out for a 'Couple' Pictures

Needless to say, The Nagy Family has a great trip to the Columbus Zoo! Can't wait to do it again next year...WITH our little addition :)

Ishy on the ride back to the resort. I think the sun was in his eyes or maybe it was the flash causing him to squint.

Easter '11

Egg Coloring FUN!!!

Ishy watching Mickey Mouse while I get the colors ready!

The Easter Bunny has arrived!!!

And it looks like Ish was spoiled this year!!

Pushing around his new wagon filled with blocks!

Searching for the last hidden egg!

And carefully putting the egg into the egg carton. (The first two eggs got thrown at Mommy)

Ish carrying around his BRAND NEW sippy cup!!

And a beautiful hug shared between two of the greatest guys I know :)

Nagy Family Easter '11

Ish has a special visitor at the front door!!!

We had a very laid back Easter this year. We went out for a lunch buffet at Fork's in Pemberville. Then everyone came back to our house to spend quality time together. The adults played UNO Attack while Ishy took his afternoon nap and we had a blast.
