Be back in September
I will be taking a break from the blog world. In the mean time I will be getting ready for the baby that will be here September 21st and enjoying my last summer before mommy-hood. When I come back after the baby I will start fresh and this will be a baby blog so at the end of each year I can print it out and give to the baby when he/she gets older. Ill leave you with these pictures. Last weekend Liam and I headed out to New Jersey to my Aunt Kim and Uncle Kevins house who took maternity photos of us. We absolutly love them and I cant wait to get a nice frame and put it on the babies dresser.

Four hours spent in the DMV and our brand new fridge painted to the wall
Judging from the title of this post, you can tell it hasn't been a good week. If you dont like to listen to people complain, stop here.
Let's start with Tuesday. After spending the weekend at Liams grandpas wake/funeral, on Tuesday I went to my great uncles funeral. I figured I had nothing to do I would take a drive to Staten Island with my mom. I did not realize it was an all day affair. We left at 8am and got home at 5pm. Now this week Liam is working nights so I decided to pick up the puppy and go to Amityville. That was a fail. My dog (which lives at my parents) and Harley did not get along too good. They had to stay on leashes and we had to hold them away from eachother. We lasted two hours and than mom drove us back home. It's lonely for me the nights Liam works. I tend to go on facebook and read peoples posts about how they are going out etc. Makes me think im missing out. I know im so lucky to have a great husband etc, but sometimes I miss being 22 years old when my biggest problem was what to wear on Friday night. Now im always worried about contractors, painters, food shopping, laundry, dinner, etc.
Wednesday I had a doctors appointment at 1. So I went to my parents house earlier to shower. (Did I mention, this week the bathroom was gutted so no shower, toliet) We got to the doctors at 12:59 and I thought okay it doesnt look too busy we will be in and out. 2:30 came and we were still waiting! Finally by 4pm sonograms were done and we had spoken to the doctor. Now I dont understand, whats the point in making an appointment when you are seen two hours later. I had to pick my sister up from the airport at 5:30 which is in the city and ofcourse, rush hour!! My mom was nice enough to drive so I was the passenger. She wasnt suppose to come but she knew I was tired and aggravated from the doctors. Inbetween that I had to stop and my house to walk Harley who was alone since the morning. Poor boy. Lucky us, we didnt hit traffic. Mom and Lauren dropped me off at 7pm and thats when I lost it. I started texting my friend asking her how im going to do all this. How am I going to clean, do laundry, cook dinner, have a baby, have a puppy, etc. Im only 22 years old, im not ready!
Thursday I had to be at babysitting 7am. I dont mind being places at 7am but its about a 30 minute drive so I have to leave really early and at this stage in my pregnancy, its a struggle! I didnt have a great day with the kids. We attempted to go to splash park to find out they arent open until the end of June. Than I had to deal with a sad 3 year old. So we attempted the park, and ofcourse NO KIDS were there. So once again, a sad 3 year old. I usually leave at 330 and at 430 I texted the dad asking where he was. He forgot to tell me he was working late and wouldnt be home till about 6. I wouldnt have minded but I promised Hannah I would go to her kindergarten graduation BBQ at 5. Once again, I fail. I figured it would save time if I drove to where the kids dad works so thats what I did. I had to wake up a 1 year old that had just fallen asleep and load the kids in the car. by the time I got to his job it was 530. I was freaking. I had to run home to let Harley out who had been by himself all day and walk him. Than I drove back to Amityville to see Hannah. I was lucky and got to stay for an hour before it started raining. Back in the car I go! I had to get Harley who was left outside in the rain. (Did I mention, Harley was at Liams dads house who is away in Ireland) I went back and got Harley, walked him, loaded all his stuff in the car and headed back to my house. Harley was hyper in the car and completly ruined my leather in the front seat. I lost it again. I had laundry to do when I got home, no bathroom, a hyper puppy, and im exhausted from being up since 530. I called my mom and had a melt down. Crying made me feel a lot better.
Friday I woke up thinking, todays got to be better than yesterday! WRONG! Liam and I spent literally 4 hours in the DMV. We were both so frustrated and hungry. We went twice and both times didnt have what we needed. Once we had to drive to the hospital my mom works at to have her sign something. The second time we had to go to the insurance company to switch me over to Liams insurance. Finally after four hours and three trips, it was all straightened out. We got a phone call while we were doing all this from the contractor. Major pipe in bathroom leaking, we need plumber. Okay, we just spend thousands and thousands on the house and now we have to call in a plumber which is a fortune! We drive home to find out that our painter decided it would be smart to put the fridge back in place after he painted. Only, he didnt wait for the paint to try so our brand new fridge was painted to the wall. Great!
So while most 22 year olds are worried about what they are doing on Friday night im living in three different places because we dont have a bathroom, cooking dinner, dealing with contractors/painters, doing laundry, switching insurances, etc!
Im lucky I have a great husband, live in a house that is decorated to my style, live in a nice neighborhood........................but at the same time, im 22 years old. I miss being able to just pick up and go out. Well, meatloaf is in the oven, time to pack our bags to sleep at Liams dads house and pack Harleys crate, leashes, food etc.
Happy Friday :)

Weekend Recap
This was a hectic weekend for us. Not only for us but for my poor feet! My god, I wore heels all day Fri and all day Saturday. Thats a lot for someone six months pregnant! This weekend was a special weekend for Liam. Although it didn't go as planned I believe he had a good graduation and I know he had a great time at the party Saturday night!
Friday-Was the big graduation! Let me just say, I was so so so very proud of Liam on Friday. although he's been thru all this training before, he worked so incredibly hard and it paid off! He got the position he wanted. Out of everyone, he deserves it the most. The graduation ceremony was really nice. I was happy because I was able to spot him out. I sat with my mom dad and Liams dads wife, Kathleen. Liams dad gave him his certificate. I was thrilled because I was allowed to run up to the front and take a picture. After the graduation we got lunch at the Diner quickly and than had to head to the bronx for his grandfathers wake. It was from 3-8. Sadly, towards the end of the wake his aunt had a seizure and was rushed to the ER. She is still there for testing, so say a prayer!
Saturday-We got bagels in the morning and headed back to the Bronx for the funeral. I did good at the wake but lost it at the funeral. It reminded me of being at my grandma/grandpas funeral. No funeral is ever happy. He lived to be 88 years old, that is amazing! I was honored to have been asked to carry up the gifts. It's so nice to be part of such a great family. After the funeral, there was a big big group of us that went out to lunch. WOW there was a lot of food! Ofcourse I didn't like any of it so I had a piece of pizza and some olives. We got back at 430 and at 530 we were out the door for the second function. The Academy gave them a really nice graduation party at a catering hall. It was absolutly beautiful! I had a good time but my feet were killing me and I was so tired. We had been going since 7am. It was nice to see Liam relaxed and having a good time. It's been a rough 7 months for him. (Unfortunetly I didnt take any pictures Saturday night. Ofcourse, the only time since I got pregnant I thought/felt great!)
Sunday-We were able to relax for most of the day. Liam mowed the lawn and let me sleep. I had a really bad headache. Finally around 1pm I got out of bed, showered and went food shopping. At 5pm we met up with our parents for dinner. Liams sister also went with her husband and the cutest twin boys ever! We went back to the place we got married at. It was yummy! Needless to say, we were in bed by 10pm! It was wonderful!
Today Liam starts his first day as a Suffolk Police Officer. I am so proud of him!! Im going to miss him. This week he works 3-11pm. So when he gets home ill be asleep. This weekend really made me realize how lucky I am to have Liam. He does everything for us!
On a side note: In 100 days I get to meet the baby! They say a mother always knows what shes having. To be honest, I havent a clue! All i know is he/she will be a soccer player because he/she is restless!!!!
Heres some pictures from the graduation on Friday:

Summer days
Well Summer is here and i've been enjoying every minute of it! I need to start blogging more so my entries aren't so long. Some days are so hot that Harley even gives up halfway on his walks. At that point I have to pick his little booty up and carry him. Imagine what that looks like. 6 months pregnant and carrying a dog. Jeez if dogs could carry it would be the other way around!
On Sunday Liam and I enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach. It was so nice to finally get to spend quality time together. The little time we have together we are usually doing housework. It was fun in the beginning now I want it to all be done! (On Monday the bathroom is being started. Thats the last of construction for us for a while! Im a little nervous about that. No bathroom for a few days. No toliet. I pee every 5 minutes!!!!! Ouch!!!!!) After the beach Liam hit up the gym and than we headed to Amityville (my parents) for dinner. The Rousseaus went too. It was fun. I love being in Amityville! I ate a lot. Cheeseburger, chicken, ziti, and lots of fruit! It was so yummy but after I felt like I was going to pop, literally! I have to admit, I dont eat like your typical pregnant girl. Luckily I havent had any cravings and hopefully wont!
On Monday I was suppose to go to the beach with my friend Dena but we decided to do lunch instead. She drove out to me and we went to Panera. Yummy! Than we went to AC Moore. That seems to be the place I go to. I love it there. Am I really only 22?!?!? That night my friend Joann came over for tacos. It was yummy! Than Liam and I went to visit his grandfather.
On Tuesday my friend Caity came over and we went to the beach. Talk about the perfect beach weather! It was breezy. I put on sunblock so I didnt get burnt at all! (im giving myself a pat on the back!) Sadly, Liam got a call at 8pm that his grandfather had died so we headed over there to see him for one last time. Feel so bad for him. I so wanted him to have the perfect graduation on Friday. He so deserves it!
Today I drove to Amityville and met up with Joann. We went to the beach. Another perfect beach day! It's so uncomfortable sitting at the beach pregnant. All I want to do is lay on my belly on the towel but I cant. So frustrating! But hey, if thats my biggest problem I am so so lucky!
Ever since I got married/pregnant I felt like my friends stopped talking to me. I thought maybe I did something wrong? Maybe they feel they dont have much in common with me? It upset me because all I needed was some girlfriends to talk to and help get me thru everything. I realized it was me. I was isolating myself from everyone and not making plans. I cant expect to always be invited places. I need to do the inviting also. So that was my goal for this week and I definitly succeeded! Within the past three days i've seen three friends.
Well Liam and I have a very exciting weekend ahead! I cant wait to blog all about it on Sunday. Part of it will be sad, wake/funeral but on a good note, hes graduating and he got the position he wanted! Im so proud of him. I will make sure to take pictures of me in my dress Saturday and ofcourse Liam at graduation!
Enjoy the rest of your week and Ill be back on Sunday :)

Sunday=bum day
Happy Sunday everyone! Usually today im bummed out. Sundays to me are like a trick. When your little you wait the whole week for Friday to come so you get off from school for two days. Than Sunday night rolls around and your sitting at the table doing your homework while your mom is ironing your uniform. When your married you wait the whole week for Friday to come so your husband gets off from work for two days. Than Sunday night rolls around and he's ironing his uniform for work the next day.
Well im so excited for this week.
First id like to say, im 26 weeks! I can't believe how fast time is flying. In the beginning when I had morning sickness it felt like eternity. The baby's ears are better developed and more sensitive. The baby is a little bigger than an eggplant! Wahoo!
Second, Liam is graduating from the Suffolk Police Academy on Friday. My husband was a NYPD for 12 years, even made his way up to sergent, before getting the best phone call ever! He was asked to be a Suffolk Cop. They are the highest paying cops and its a better commute since we live out on the island. The Academy was for 6 months Mon-Fri. He would leave at 6:45 and get home at 4:30. I missed him so much during the week but now im happy because he will work 4 days and have off 3 days. In the academy he had weekends off, which was nice. He always had to iron and study so when he got off at 4:30 he really would work till 9. Now when he gets off from his tour hes done until the next day, which is terrificcccc! :)
So on Friday we have his graduation and than were going out to eat with our families.
Saturday we have the big graduation party at this nice place with all the guys and there wives/girlfriends. Im excited to finally meet these guys!I went to Motherhood and bought this dress to wear on Saturday
Yesterday I cleaned the inside of the house and Liam did the outside. He powerwashed the fenses and house so I was super excited! We are planning on having our first BBQ soon. We also went food shopping for the week so today we have nothing to do! As long as the sun stays out we are planning on going to the beach. At motherhood I also bought these two bathingsuits. I've never rocked a two piece but for this summer I will.
Happy Sunday :)

Fun at the park!
Every Thursday and Friday I watch two little girls, Fiona and Sophie. Sophie is 9 months and Fiona is 3 years old. I've been with them since this morning and im here till 830pm. Usually i come at 7am and leave at 4. I love them to death, I just dont know how moms do this everyday all day. LOL Anyways, it's 80 degrees and breezy so I wanted to get out for a walk. We drove to Gardiners Park. There they have a trail that leads to the sound and you can see the bridges. I love it! I put them in the double stroller and we walked to the water. Fiona met a little boy there so they played for three hours in the sand! I even let Fiona go swimming in the water with her clothes on. It was fun and the little boys grandma kept me company. She sure did love to talk! After that we walked to the picnic tables and had lunch.
Im definitly a summer girl. I love to be by the water and have my feet in the sand. I do have awful sunburn lines going on right now, but hey if thats my biggest problem, im blessed! Liam and I are hoping to go to the ocean on Sunday so hopefully ill be smart and load up on the sunscreen and even these lines out!
When we got back to the house I decided three hours at the park wasn't enough. I took them both out of carseats and loaded them back in the double stroller. We walked to the Italian Ice store in the village. I even fed some of my cotton candy ice to the baby, she was loving it!
I had a very "on the go" kinda day considering im 6 months pregnant! If i were to tell the doctor all the lifting and carrying and running I did she would probably kill me! Oh well.....ill leave you with this picture of me. Fiona loves to take pictures on my phone.

It's HOT HOT HOT!
Just last week I was complaining of the rain and crummy weather. This week im complaining about the heat. There has got to be an inbetween, something called Spring. Im disappointed we never got a Spring but im definitly happy the nice weather is here. I am now 25 weeks and boy do I feel the heat! My sister came over the other day and we attempted to garden, it was 90 degrees and a little too hot for me! I was afraid I would fry the baby. Yesterday she came back over and we went to a bunch of stores. That wasn't too bad because we were in and out of AC.
I feel bad for my poor hubby. Last week his grandpa had to get emergency surgery in his head. Unfortunetly he is 89 years old. We went to visit him yesterday in ICU and boy did we not expect to see what we saw. I could tell Liam was super upset. I tried to hold back the tears, gotta be strong for him. I feel really bad because Liam has worked so hard in the academy and he so deserves a great graduation worry free. He is graduating Friday and boy am I excited! I can't wait till he works 4 days and has 3 days off. I always tell him I wish he could stay home with me. He always says he wishes he could to but someone has to work! I guess he is right. Luckily, its not me :)
I went to the doctors today. Everything is looking good for the baby. Within the past 25 weeks ive only gained 15lbs so im happy about that. The babys heartbeat was 145, which is what its been the past few times. The doctor was also very happy because I have no swollen ankles, wrists, legs etc. Im happy about that too! I still cant believe im 6 months pregnant! Time is flying. I cant wait for September to get here so I have someone to entertain me all day. I know once the time comes ill be blogging about needing a break from motherhood. I figured between my parents, sister, Liams parents and ofcourse my Aunt Kim all the way in jersey, I should be able to get a few breaks. I know my Aunt Kim will rush over to watch the baby even if it's for an hour ;)! Im sure ill have my mom over every second she can.
Well thats about all I have to say for today....and ofcourse, say a prayer for Liams grandpa.

Well thats about all I have to say for today....and ofcourse, say a prayer for Liams grandpa.

Coming up on 25 weeks
When I first found out I was pregnant I struggled with the whole idea of my once in shape body changing. As i've mentioned before in a post, working out was my life. I've been a gym rat for 7 years. When I met Liam in November, thats when my body really transformed. I worked out with him and did the same exercises as him, with lower weights ofcourse. He even got me to start running! I was so proud of my body and excited to rock it this summer. After reading a few blogs on here I realized how lucky I am! Okay my body has changed, I gained almost 14 pounds, and I have a lot of extra water in me that has made my arms and face blow up, but im having a baby!
-The baby is moving around a lot. He/she keeps me up at night! Liam loves to put his hand to my belly and feel it.
-If I sit for too long its hard for me to get up. (gosh, whats it going to be like when im 8 months?)
-I've gained 14 lbs in the past 25 weeks.
-My bladder is out of control! (not sure what im going to do when we get the bathroom done next month and cant use toliet for a few days!)
-My belly button has stretched. In every shirt I wear it now sticks out!
-The baby has(knock on wood) past all tests. So we are looking forward to a happy, healthy and chubby baby!
-He/she is ahead of schedule by a week so my due date might change.
Happy Thursday :)

Dog lovers.......HELP!
For all you dog lovers out there, i need some help! My husbands dog, Harley, and well now my dog that I adopted when I married Liam, has severe seperaton anxiety. We have a baby gate up so Harley cant come in kitchen, if we are at table he will sit by the gate and cry. If one of us goes into the bathroom he will follow us and sit at the door and cry. Even if he can see us he cant stand the thought of one of us not being in the room with him(thats how I know he has this issue). He gets this look of fear on his face. He absolutly hates it and we tend to give in because we dont want to listen to it. Its getting so frustrating! This problem is going to be major when September comes and the baby is here.
So help me, how do we fix this problem?!?!?

This post is in memory of Liams mom whose anniversary is this week. I wish I could talk about her but unfortunetly I never got the oppertunity to meet her. She has two children that work so hard to have the best life they can. They are both always so happy and know how to brighten everyones day. I know Mrs. Kelly was a great lady because they are both wonderful, wonderful people. We all wish you were here to see the twins growing up and ofcourse to see our little bundle of joy. If its a girl, her middle name will be Margaret after you. I know on June 10th you will be as happy and proud of Liam as me. Everyone misses you!

Happy Saturday
Finally, after five days of rain the sun is out! Rain is good once in a while. Don't get me wrong. I love the days I can stay inside with sweats on and do nothing but listen to the rain, but after a few days it catches up. When im in sweats for too long I start to feel gross about myself. I do much better when I can wake up shower, blow out my hair, and put on a cute outfit! Especially with being pregnant, I feel like a beached whale so I should atleast decorate this beached whale, right?!?
Im looking forward to the beach days. A nice tan goes a long way! Before I got pregnant I loved to be tan. In my head I thought it made me look thinner. HAHA the games I use to play with myself! I guess I wont be doing much swimming in the ocean this summer but im looking forward to plopping on a chair right by the water and sitting for hours........sunblock ofcourse! Im also looking forward to getting away for a couple of days. Liam and I never took a honey moon, since our wedding was a little rushed due to the circumstance. I cant fly so we cant go far. We are going to do a honey moon next year, im shooting for February, as long as the baby weight is all gone! Right when the doctor gives me the okay, I will be back at the gym with Liam kicking major booty. I will get that six pack back!
Today we are going to Jersey. Im disappointed Aunt JoAnn (Aunt Kims sister) wont be there. She loves to see my belly, just like Aunt Kim! Oh well, im thinking of taking a drive there either later in the week or next week, as long as they are free. Ashley is home from school now for summer but today is a family bbq for her 21st birthday so we cant go out and do anything. I was thinking when I go next time, we could go baby shopping. Speaking of baby shopping, I need to register. Liams sister said she will get someone to watch boys next weekend and she will take me to register.
WHERE DID YOU ALL REGISTER? Kohls, Babies R Us, Bye Bye Baby?
Happy Saturday :)

Life as I know it
In my opinion, this quote rocks the meaning of life. It's really amazing for me to think back to when I was younger and went through a stage when I thought life was tragic to now where my life is beautiful. Luckily, I grew up in a great house, with great sisters and great parents. The only time I ever heard my parents argue was in the car and well, that was only because my dad is the "worlds best driver." Every summer my parents would take us on killer vacations to islands and spoil us rotten with all the activities they had to offer there. We were all lucky enough to go to private school our whole life. I remember the days when we would have "out of uniform day" I would flip because I thought I had nothing to wear. A few times my mom ran to the store at 9pm to get me an outfit, even though I had one, I just didn't approve of it. She always knew the right thing to get!
When I was in high school I had an incident with a boy that ruined my high school years. I was so miserable and everyone knew it. I was one of those, "I hate everything, leave me alone" kinda girls. (Im not going to get into that because thats my past and this is my now). Im just so thankful for Liam. He really has changed the way I look at life. He makes me so happy, something I thought was impossible to ever feel again. Last year, if you were to ask me what I would be doing now, I would probably have a blank stare on my face. I was clueless about where my life was going. I was with a guy that made me feel like garbage all the time and cheated on me a few weeks before prom. To him I was "arm candy." I did everything for everyone that I never stopped to think, what about me? Luckily Liam came along and changed that.
So here it goes...I am still in school, im married to a great guy who does everything for me, i have gorgeous diamonds on my finger that are worth a lot of $$$$, i live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood, i watch two amazing little girls that i love, i have the best parents, i drive a nice car with leather and a sun roof, o0oh and i have a baby inside of me!
Not bad for 22 years old.
Take a look at my transformations...

Tuesday Rant
This rain is really getting to me. It's awful! Like everyone, I have better days when my hair isnt a huge frizz ball, my make up isnt running, and the bottom of my pants arent soaked. My prenatal massage today helped a bit. Liam got it for me for my birthday. It was much needed. My god mothers daughter did it which was nice because we talked for the whole hour. Unfortunetly I dont have many girlfriends left to chat with and the few that I have I barely see. Thats one thing im super excited for. This baby means a new start. Im excited to meet moms at the park and have new relationships with people in the same boat as me.
(For those of you that dont know much about my husband) He was in NYPD for 13 years. In 2006 he took the Suffolk test. In order to get a call back you need to get higher than a 97. He ofcourse did, because hes super smart. They called him a few months ago and offered him a spot. This was right when I met him. He took it and im so glad he did. Besides Suffolk being the highest paying cops, its much closer to home than the city. The only down side is he had to do the academy. For the past few months he has been going Mon-Fri. He leaves 6:45am and gets home by 5. Like a normal work week. What he does is so "taxing" as he says. The past week and up until he graduates hes in EMT training. Its a 6 month course, rapped into three weeks. He literally gets home at 5 and is at library by 530, comes home at 9, studies till 1130 and wakes up at 5 to study before he leaves. He works so hard!! I try not to get annoyed because I know hes doing it to support us, but I miss him. We've been married only a short few months and we dont see eachother much. Its a bummer! He knows its hard on me and he does everything to make me happy. I love the weekends because that means we get to spend time together. Im counting the days till June 10th when he graduates!! So excited!! Im glad I worked with Harley and now he is able to roam the house. Its nice to have a cute little puggle looking up at me and following my every move. Although I would do anything for lola girl to be here.
Married life is awesome and I love Liam. Its just a huge adjustment. I have to clean, do laundry, cook dinner (although he helps in all these departments) I like to do it myself because I feel its the least I can do. Im use to having my mommy do everything for me. I never thought at age 22 I would be doing these things. I guess sometimes life takes you in places you dont imagine. This is a good life. Better than I ever thought. I always worried I would go guy to guy and never settle. Im sure happy I did!!!!
Good news! Bedroom complete! Living room complete! Baby room complete! Hallway complete! Stairs complete! Kitchen complete! Bathroom being started next month. I will upload pictures in next post.
Time to cook before Liam gets home. Pork, baked potatoes, and a vegetable.

Monday lala
I am disappointed my last post got lost when the blog was done. I loved my "Thankful Thursday." Today is Monday and man oh man do I strongly dislike Mondays. Especially when its raining and im with a 3 year old and 9 month old all day. Anyways, this weekend we went to PA to see Lo graduate. We drove with my parents. We got there Friday around 9pm. I was exhausted from the drive and just wanted to go to sleep. We got Burger King and Liam and I went back to the hotel. Mom and dad met up with Lo Stephen and his parents. It really made me realize how old I feel! If I wasnt pregnant and so tired I would have gone out. Im excited for the baby but sometimes I feel as if "the fun times of being young" is over. We had to be up at 6am so when that alarm went off I was so happy I didnt go out. I thought the car ride there was uncomfortable with having to pee every 2 minutes, well it was worse trying to sit through the graduation. I sure hope after baby, my bladder is back to normal! After the graduation we went to a restaurant with Stephen, his parents, and all of us. Everyone ordered sandwiches or burgers, I ordered pizza. Well let me tell you, there is nothing like new york pizza! The pizza they gave me had no sauce and it had a bunch of random things thrown on it. I told the waiter to take it back. After the drive back to NY, Liam got me pizza. Which was delish.
I went for my last sonogram last Thursday. It took about an hour and 15 minutes to measure all the parts. Unfortunetly, the baby did not cooperate and now they are sending me to Pediatrics to check the other side of the heart. My appointment it next Monday. They said its going to take 2 hours. Cross your fingers everything is okay! Here is the baby at 22 weeks.
Im not a fan of posting pictures of myself at this time, but here are two from the graduation..
Happy Stephen!
Yesterday we went to visit our nephews, they are the cutest twin boys! They love Uncle Liam! I believe this one is Andrew.
I went for my last sonogram last Thursday. It took about an hour and 15 minutes to measure all the parts. Unfortunetly, the baby did not cooperate and now they are sending me to Pediatrics to check the other side of the heart. My appointment it next Monday. They said its going to take 2 hours. Cross your fingers everything is okay! Here is the baby at 22 weeks.
Happy Stephen!
Us with Lauren and Stephen
Happy Monday
