Snow Day!!!

I have to say, I am beginning to LOVE these snow days!!  =)  Work closes and Hubby and I get to spend another day at home with each other!!  There is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch and watching a movie and seeing the snow fall outside!  It makes everything look so pretty!! 

I am just thankful I have 4 wheel drive in case the little one ever decides to make his grand entrance on one of these days =)

Ok so today would have been an awesome birthday......however baby apparently did not agree! =(  I know, its still early......I am just super anxious to hold him already!!!  Although, it will definitely be a little weird NOT to be pregnant anymore, I am looking forward to all the fun me and Nicholas are going to have!!! =)

37 Weeks

Baby's Room.......

So originally we had planned on doing the baby's room in all Red Sox stuff....cute right!!  But after talking to my mom, she talked me into doing a "baby" room and holding off with the sports until he is a toddler!  We have everything pretty much done except a few last decorations that my mom is going to help me with once she gets out here =)  I have to say, most of the work was taking apart everything that was in "Kris' sports room" because it was a serious disaster zone for a while.  Once the room was cleared out, we put together the big furniture and then it went together very nicely! 

I can't believe I am already 37 weeks and that he is so close to arrival time!!!  I am already dilating which is GREAT news since so many new moms aren't dilated at all at 40 weeks....I just hope I keep going and don't stay at a stand still for the next few weeks!!  We have our hospital bags packed and ready to go!!!  Just waiting for the little one now.  =)

Here are a few pics of the room in progress and I will post more once I take some recent ones!!



My goal is to have everything completely done by this weekend (baby's room, our room, etc) so I will take some pics of the finished room  =)

Merry Christmas!!!

This Christmas was amazing!!!  Enough snow to make it a White Christmas.....but not too much to make traveling difficult!!  Kris and I had our first christmas alone since being married (last year we were in CA with my whole family for my brothers wedding) so it was extra special since next year we will have our little Nicholas!!!  (which is even more exciting!!!!)

Kris spoiled me rotten!!!  I got everything I wanted and more!  But most importantly, I have him!!!  I could not have asked for a better husband and best friend!!! 

Now we are just anxiously awaiting our little ones arrival.........35 more days!!!!  =)



35 weeks!!!



Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!  XOXO

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! 

Baby Shower in MA

Yesterday was my shower in MA given by Betty (Kris' dads wife) and it could not have turned out any better!!!  I have really enjoyed getting to know her better and her side of the family.  They have all been so welcoming and she has such an awesome group of friends!  =)

We had a great turn out and baby Nicholas recieved so many cool gifts!  We now have all of our big items and clothes until he is 3 or 4!  This kid is set!  And I just finished ordering the last of the nursery items so once it is all set up, I will post pics!!

Here are a few pics (I didn't get that many) but thankfully JoAnne took a ton!!!  I will have to get those from her soon!

Cake!

Girls from work
(Kellie, Me, Deirdre, Becky, Maureen and Nicole)



Afterwards, we hung out for a bit and played with Anthony (Jills son, Bettys daughter) and his fighting toy hamsters!!!  The toys I get to look forward to!!  He has all sisters, so he is glad we are having a BOY!

Thanks to everyone who made it and for all the wonderful gifts!!!

 I'm so glad our son is already so loved and welcomed.....55 more days!!! 

XOXO
