Update

So a few things have happened since we last posted anything. I will start with the oldest and work my way to the newest!

Dario had a Birthday!!! Lucky for him he had the day off of work, so we started the day off with a good breakfast! Then we went and picked up his present that i got him, a new BBQ! He was a bit surprised because he figured that since our club house had one, we wouldnt need to get one of our own till we move away from here. But I convinced him of otherwise and we got it! We have used it a ton so far! Then we came home and spent the afternoon at the pool, had some kabobs for dinner and then went to our prenatal class. What a day! We had a little party for him the next day with the family for some yummy cake and homemade strawberry ice-cream!

Dario and his new grill!

Yes, he blew them all out!

Next on the list of events... Our 3rd Anniversary!!! I cant believe how fast time has gone by! It has been a wonderful 3 years and we are looking forward to many more to come! :) To celebrate the day we went out to eat at Carrabbas! We asked our waiter to take a picture of us and he got a little suspicious and asked if we were celebrating something. So we told him and at the end of our dinner he brought us some sweet dessert for free! What a nice guy!

July 1, 2008


Dario surprised me with some roses! I love him!


Last but not least, I am now 37 weeks along! That means that Hunter could come any day now and he would be completely developed! I went to the doctors yesterday and I am just barely dialating, but hey, I will take barely over not at all!

Me at 37 weeks!


So I think that about wraps it up for now.

Week 35 and still growing...

So here's the scoop... I feel huge! You know that feeling you get after eating way more than you should and your stomach feels like it cant possibly stretch out any further, well thats how I feel. The only thing is the feeling you get after eating too much normally goes away within a few hours, but this feeling is not going to be going away for another 4 weeks or so. I cant squeeze through places I once could (although sometimes I seem to forget that) and my stomach bumps into so many things. Giving hugs is getting more awkward, I feel like I have to stick my butt out so far to give them. And just to type this up, I am seriously sitting like 2 feet away from the desk just so that I can pull out the drawer far enough to type!


But in spite of all the hugeness, as I said above, just another 4 weeks and this will all be over! I cant believe how close it is getting to Hunter being here. I had a doctors appointment this week and all is looking good! His head is down and my belly is measuring right on! Who knows, maybe it wont be quite 4 weeks... I guess we will just have to wait and see!


Oh, and just for the record, Dario has finally put on a little sympathy weight for me. Although you would never know that just by looking at him! But it makes me feel better! Thanks sweetie! :)

Happy Birthday Steph!!

They are called crazy daisies, so I thought they
would be perfect for the birthday girl. I can't believe
you are 22 today Steph!


We obviously ran out of any usable wrapping paper,
so I resorted to what was available--our daily paper.
Love that face!




We were definitely in need (want) of a camcorder,
especially since little Hunter will be joining us in July.
Now we'll be able to capture all his most embarrassing
moments and share them with all our people!!


Lucky day for Steph! The rainbow seemed like it
was just right outside our back door. I think it's
supposed to bring good fortune for seven
consecutive birthdays. That's the word on the
street.


Happy Birthday Steph. You're the best!!

9 weeks left...

... Until the arrival of our baby Hunter! Yes that means that I am now 31 weeks along, and feeling rather large. At 16" long, it is hard for me to believe that he is really curled up in there... in me! I can tell that he is running out of room because instead of kicking me so much, he shoves me around and tries to escape through my belly... Hang tight kiddo! Oh, and yes I did cut off my hair, and I LOVE it in this heat we've been having!

Baby's Room

So we finally did some painting and rearranging
in the soon to be baby's room. It is hard to believe
that this room actually used to look like this, and did
for about 7 months! Yikes!!!


Here is the new and improved look! Eventually the
craft table will be replaced with a crib and i will be
forced to use the kitchen table for my projects, rats!


We also painted the bathroom across the hall to match
the bedroom. Once again, this bathroom was plain and
boring just until now!


It is a lot happier of a place now, in fact Dario
was a little envious of the baby's cool bathroom!
We did most the work you see here ourselves, minus
a little (lot) of help from my dad with the wood work!
Thanks dad! :)


This here dresser may look brand new, but dont be
fooled by its make-over! It is approximately 40 years old! It has been in my family since it was brand new and has been passed on as a hand me down. So needless to say it had some wear and tear to it so we decided to fix it up! I think we did a fabulous job, if you were asking me... Oh, and yes this is for baby!
