Snow Day!

Today was our first family snow day! We spent the first half of the day watching crappy shows and movies, followed by Chris getting to shovel the driveway! Chris was very excited about his first snow day ever- until he realized that part of it would be spent shoveling!


Here he is giving me the finger! It is a real shame that pregnant people can't help with this sort of thing!

Now as promised, here are some photos from last weekend!

Holidays and Babies and Shopping, OH MY!

I just realized it has been a very long time since our last post! I don't know how the Earth hasn't fallen off its axis! I guess the world really doesn't revolve around me...i hate it when my mom is right!

We have been crazy busy the last few weeks doing everything and nothing! We have been shopping for holiday deals on the junk we need for the baby as well as some junk for us! We had been searching for crib and hadn't had too much luck! Everything we liked was either $500 or recalled! We finally found a crib we liked (that wasn't $500 and hadn't been recalled) but it was white (the rest of our furniture is wood). Luckily we found it online in wood! We ordered the crib and matching changing table last week and it was delivered super fast! Chris did a great job putting it together and we love it!

We have also been busy putting the finishing touches on our new bathroom! The tile is all in, the walls are painted, the new light and mirror are up, the vanity and sink are in- so all we are waiting to do it put the cabinet in over the toilet and hang the artwork! It looks amazing and i really feel like i'm showing in a hotel! It is a huge step up from the old stuff: pink tile in the shower, powder blue walls, green laminate floor, gray marble sink and nasty (used to be white) vanity!

Saturday was a big day too! Early Saturday morning, Chris was able to feel the baby kick for the first time! While i have felt the little guy practicing his soccer kicks for the last few weeks, it wasn't enough for Chris to feel. So we were VERY VERY excited when Chris felt his first jab! We also had the pleasure of attending Danielle and Aaron's engagement party in Easton, PA. on Saturday. (Danielle was the first friend i made when i moved to NJ in 1st grade!) Once we got over the minor glitch of the GPS not recognizing Danielle's parents new development we were on the road and there in no time! Danielle's mom made lots of yummy food (including mini hot dogs...best party food EVER!!) and we got to meet lots of Danielle's friend's from college. Their wedding next December is my motivation to lose my baby weight so i can fit back into my party dresses!

Other than that we are getting ready for another season of UCONN b-ball, holiday break and the little man's arrival in March!

I promise to post pictures very soon of the crib/changing table, fun baby stuff, the bathroom and the happy couple Danielle/Aaron!
