you understand what the first couple of weeks are like,

therefore you understand why the blog has been neglected.

i have a few thank you’s to send out for making this room come together:

*stacey zasadny, you know what you did girl. couldn’t have done it with out you.

*jennifer curland who sewed the pom poms on the curtains for me

here and there…… (before baby)

27 Aug

so here i am into my 39th week of pregnancy trying to be as patient as possible for this little guy to come.

and as easy and wonderful as my pregnancy has been,

i must say this has to be the hardest part.

…..waiting…..

“come out baby boy, we want to meet you”

with all this time on my hands (which i know i will miss)

i’ve sort of run out of things to do.

i’ve washed every article of clothing in this house,

pretty much redecorated my downstairs,

refurnished a piece of furniture,

and the list goes on.

i know what your thinking, then why haven’t i revealed the nursery yet?

i am waiting on one small item and then

i promise I’ll reveal it.

if baby doesn’t get here before then!

but until then, here are a few pics

here and there and everywhere we go

…..before baby is in the picture…..

the bump…..

25 Jul

the bump

here it is as promised.

the latest on the bump situation.

we’re getting close to the end here

and i’m getting anxious to meet this little baby.

^^^^^

don’t hate me moms out there, but this pregnancy has been wonderful.

i still feel great, my hair and nails are amazing and besides this vegas heat

i’m actually still comfortable.

i hope i’m not speaking too soon when i say, i love being pregnant,

but i kinda do!!!

^^^^^

the hard part is all this waiting.

waiting to see who he’ll looks like,

waiting to see him smile

 his smell and cry, those tiny fingers and toes,

and everything else there is  to discover.

we can’t wait to share him with all of you guys as well.

^^^^^

ps. just trying to finish up a few little details before the nursery reveal,

so hope you guys stick around.

i think it will be worth it!

ooh baby

we will never be alone for a holiday again.

we are feeling very spoiled over here these days.

the baby shower was this past weekend

and with all the love, support and gifts we received,

we sure are feeling blessed.

plus packages are arriving at our door step almost everyday!

it’s like christmas, except the gift we’re getting

is the greatest gift in the whole world

♥♥♥ a baby ♥♥♥

i have to thank my family, (mom&sisters) for putting together an amazing shower

and my friends genevieve and jennifer for helping

bring all the details to life.

we’ll never forget this special day as long as we live.

we would also like to thank everyone who has

been a part of this amazing adventure we’re on.

we can’t thank you all enough and we can’t wait for you all to share

in our little ones life.

^^^^^

here are some scenes from the shower,

hope you enjoy!

happy birthday to me…..

13 Jun

i don’t know if it’s cuz the big 3-0 isn’t till next year

or the fact that baby boy is on the way

but i really just wanted a low-key birthday this year.

so spending the day with family and close friends at sunday brunch

sounded right up my alley.

^^^^^

but my birthday wish came true when

the husby surprised me by coming home early from his trip!

a night at home and a dinner at my favorite pizza shop

couldn’t have made my day more perfect!

^^^^^

i would also like to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes!

i felt super loved!!!

^^^^^

here’s some pics of the past couple days of b-day fun!

i feel like i’ve been pretty boring these days

when i’m not at work, i’m working on the nursery

and with whatever time is left, i try to relax.

making a baby takes a lot out of you.

so if you’re wondering where i’ve been,

now you know.

sorta feel like i haven’t had much to blog about

since i can’t reveal the nursery till it’s all done!

and like i said….. i’ve been pretty boring.

i do though have some random pictures to share of

here, there and everywhere we go.

did you know?… baby edition…

22 May
i use to do these “did you know” blogs in the beginning
to give you guys a chance to learn some funny facts about us,
so then i thought, why not let you know what baby boy
has put in our head these days.
 
  1. he was ready for babies years before she was
  2. she always thought she’d have all her kids before 30
  3. he thought she was pregnant with a girl
  4. she knew all along it was a boy
  5. he thinks she should drink espresso so the baby comes out liking it (it’s an italian thing)
  6. she doesn’t drink caffeine let alone espresso
  7. they plan to teach their baby italian
  8. he wants a little soccer player
  9. she never liked the color red and it somehow made it in the nursery
  10. they can’t seem to agree on a name
  11. they think this is going to be one of their greatest adventures
more fun facts here, here, and here
 
sand baby
 
sand baby
 
 
i thought our baby pictures were appropriate for this.
^^^^^
love these pics cuz even though we were so far apart then
we are somehow still connected.
^^^^^
two babies buried in the sand……. and capturing the same photo?
crazy!!!!
 
 
 
 
 

a mother…..

12 May

so i guess today i am celebrating my first mother’s day.

kinda weird since i haven’t seen my little one, or touched him,

or even heard him cry,

i can feel him in there though and i know he’s mine.

i feel so lucky to be able to create this little life inside me

and i can’t wait to be his mamma.

^^^^^

happy mother’s day to the woman who i hope to live up to,

my mamma!

i have learned so much from you as a mother and a wife,

you’re amazing, period.

 when my little man gets here,

i truly hope he sees me the way i see you.

love you mamma!

^^^

i would also like to wish my mother in-law all the way in italy

a happy mother’s day!

i can’t thank you enough for giving me

the most amazing husband, best partner in crime and

most thoughtful and loving man who i get to call mine.

un bacio.

^^^

and happy mother’s day to all you amazing moms out there.

hope your day is truly special.
