Not Waiting any more!

Long story short:
Dani begins labor at 11pm friday evening
Dani delivers baby at 6:15pm Saturday afternoon (19 and a 1/4 hrs) after trying for 4 hours then having to have emergency surgery anyway
Dani is exhausted and still at hospital
Chris is home typing this, feeding the dog and then heading back to the hospital!

Still Waiting!

Dani is still doing well and up and about. In fact she probably gets more exercise than me! She walks at least an hour every day and is feeling good. The little man is due tomorrow so if there is any news we will text everyone to let you know.

Waiting Game

Everything is still going really well. I am happy to say that i still feel great and have been walking for about a hour every day! At my doctors appointment last week they said i was making good progress and could go any time. Chris and I are ready for the little guy to get here so hopefully soon! We'll keep you posted on any changes!

Stay at home mom?

I am officially a stay at home mom...well except for the fact that i am not yet a mom and that i do have to go back to work in May! My last day of work was Friday and this weekend i was 9 months! It is crazy how fast the time has flown by! We are certainly as ready as we could be though. We have enough clothes for a small army, tons of diapers, and we are both trying to store up some extra sleep! While i don't have my 9 month picture on the computer for you yet, i do have pictures from my baby shower!

The shower was great! We kept it small and low key but it was tons of fun. My mom prepared some great food, michelle organized super fun games and best of all my closest friends were all able to join us!

Here is the super cute table.


The Diaper Cake my sister made!

All the girls enjoying some yummy food.



My surprise present from Chris' mom! This is a blanket she made and used with Chris when he was a baby!


Sisterly Love!


Stay tuned for my super large belly and 9 month photo!!

About time!

Yes i am a horrible person. Yes, it has been almost a month since I last posted! Yes, i am working on it!

Here is the problem...I get home from school around 4 and i go to bed at like 8, so this leaves very little time for me to get things done at night! By the time we make dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, make lunches, clean up lunches and sit down to actually have a conversation....its like 7:30 and time to get ready for bed!

I have tons of pictures to post and promise i will soon! I am now 7 1/2 months, so i have my 7 month photo for all of you see (very large and scary!). We are all finished with the bathroom, so i have the before and after shots for you too! And we have pretty much finished the baby room! Everything is painted, we just need curtains and a rocker!

So you may be wondering what we have been up to the last month! Seriously, i don't know!!! It has flown by! We have had several snowy days, several very good basketball games (Go UCONN!), some visits with old friends, and lots of baby prep! Chris is still loving teaching and i am still feeling good! Other than some heartburn at night and being a little tired, no complaints! (Fingers crossed delivery goes as well as the 9 months leading up to it!!!)

This weekend we have our first baby class so wish us luck!
Check back soon for photos...i promise!!! ;o)

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!

Danielle's engagement party

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!
