Aiden's 3D Ultrasound Pics

I'm 7months along today and we went to get a 3D ultrasound. It was fun and both Grandma's (Noni & Nana) and my dad (Papa) got to come along to watch. They do a diagnostic test as well and said everything looked good and we had a good visual confirmation that he is indeed a boy. =) He weighs 3lbs 5oz right now and they expect him to be somewhere in the 7lb range at full term. ON Monday during our first scan, he was still in the breech position, but today he is head down. Yeah! Also, the ultrasonographer said she could see he has alot of hair already. This time we even got him to smile.

Our House Before

And Now

Joe just finished painting all the trim white instead of the nasty brown, and it's made such a difference. Next we're getting new gutters. We've run out of fun things to do so now just the boring practical things are left. =)

Vegas

We went to Vegas this weekend for a softball tournie and we did horrible. We went 1 and 2 and were out of the tournament by noon on Saturday. Needless to say we had time to kill and spent most of it at the buffet's, the outlets and walking through all the hotels. We bought our birthday/Christmas gift to each other; a new digital camera. So, it was an expensive weekend, but we had fun. My mom picked us up at the airport this morning at 2am and both of us had to work today. So, I'm off to bed.

Hello 3rd Trimester


I started my 3rd trimester this week and I can't believe it's already here! So far my only battle has been with getting comfortable when I try to sleep. But, a body pillow works wonders. I have to take my glucose test this week to test for gestational diabetes so I hope I pass, otherwise you have to take a second test that includes taking your blood every hour for 3 hours. I don't think I would do well with that. I'll keep you posted.

The Front Yard

Joe's been working really hard on the yard, and it's almost complete. He laid the grass and we've started planting. We're enjoying learning about all the different plants and what the deers will and won't eat.

Fabris/Carrissimo/Mazera Family Picnic
We had our annual picnic on Saturday and had a wonderful turn out. There were so many little kids this year that it was so much fun! We all got to meet Jessica (Justine's sister) and welcome her to the family.

No More Probie!!!
Joe passed his driving test today which means he's officially off probation. He got to drive the engine back to the station from the test all by himself too! Remember to wave if you see him driving!!!

The Nursery

Of course we went with the firefighter theme and I love it. My mom made the piece that's hanging above the dresser and it has 7 pockets to hold all kinds of stuff. The front has a dalmation, firetruck and hydrant appliqued (sp) to it. We're not quite done with the room, but I still think it's cute. When I'm having a bad day, I just go and sit in there and it cheers me up.

5 months!
Time is flying and I'm really enjoying being pregnant. Joe is catching on to the enjoyment as well. Last night he read "Casey at the Bat," (thanks Heather) to our little guy so that he learns to reckognize his voice and baseball of course. It's the cutest thing in the world. Worrying aside, pregnancy is so fun. I love every movement he makes even in the middle of the night and especially the 5am hiccups. I'm so excited to meet him. Thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers.

HALF WAY!
I feel like I'm getting larger by the day now. Joe keeps reminding me I'm going to get a whole lot bigger. I'm up 5lbs and a full cup size =) and feeling great so far, though 9pm is becoming more of a regular bedtime for me.

It's A Boy!

The Goods.

Fingers & Toes

Thumb Sucker.

Everything went really well this morning at my appointment. We were hoping for a girl, but at this point we'll take anything with 10 fingers and 10 toes. The nurse assured us they were all there. Joe was happy he was sucking his thumb with his left hand (he wants a left handed pitcher).

Making Progress
So recently the dreams I've been having are more like nightmares and always end bad. It seems I'm always taking care of a baby, but it's not mine and I manage to hurt it (drown, drop, pull off limbs, etc.). More recently I've been having babies of my own, but the first was a dead puppy and then a stillborn baby. Depressing I know. But, alas the other night I had a dream that I had twin boys (and they were alive). This to me is still considered a nightmare and I ended up giving one back (because it wouldn't smile), but none the less, they were alive. So I would say, I'm making progress. I'm still freaking out weekly and just know something will go wrong, but I thank God for cousin Becky's doppler so I can at least hear the heartbeat. As of yesterday, the baby's still here.=) This blog is for Jenn who says I never write anything.

I had my 16 week check-up yesterday and everything is looking good. We got to hear the heartbeat and were reassured that everything's going good. 18 more days till we find out what it is. =)

Heat Wave! Lexi is enjoying having a pool close by and is getting braver each day jumping in to get her ball.

Well, we have some good news. I'm pregnant (again) and this time the baby is growing well and looking good. Here is our 12 week shot. He/she is waving in the picture and was moving all around during the ultrasound. I'm due Jan 15th and praying that this will work out. Just need to get past the 16 week mark and we'll feel a little better.

My Nephew Brian celebrated his 2nd Birthday on the 5th and we had a blast at his party.

Maui!!! Joe and I went to Maui last month for a week long softball tournament and had lots of fun. The whole team stayed in a house together so that was fun. We didn't do very well, tournament wise, but had a good time.

This is so weird. My mom got this magazine and the girl is my twin. It freaked me out a little and Joe topped it off by saying he should have married her (she's a millionaire).

Here is out newest addition-Lexi. As you all know we had her one day and then she needed major surgery on her leg to fix a break that had been there from the previous owner. She was cleared this week and now can do normal puppy stuff, like chew every pinecone she can find in the forest of a backyard we have.

Blast from the past. I know you all are wondering why these random pics show up on here. I post them on the blog and then I can access them to put on my myspace page. I'm an addict.
