Aldo's Room!

We are about 5 weeks away from the birth of our first child and 'boy' are we excited! Tony has had full range in the creation, decoration, purchasing, and implementation of Aldo's room. I just want to thank him for an amazing job- I love you baby! We were also lucky enough to get some help from two special people. We would like to thank Mrs. Bagnulo for her handiwork and craftsmanship in making the crib bedding and the curtains. They have really made the room complete! We would also like to thank Mr. Zimmerman for the rug! He was able to order the material we liked, have it bound and shipped to us. It has made the room a lot more comfortable (and quiet for our neighbors)! We still want to get some type of shelves, however, this is about it for now. Now it's time to relax and take advantage of our quiet time together. We will relish these last weeks as a pair but can not wait to expand our family come March!!!

34 weeks

Here is the latest picture Tony took of me at Dr. Jew's this week- was not expecting the picture so excuse the side turn. Belly is getting round, eh? The appointment went well- Aldo is great- mommy is too. We can not wait to meet this little bundle of joy!!!!

Tony (soon to be daddy) hard at work.....

Getting Closer.....

33 weeks and counting!!

I am now 33 weeks! I can't believe two things 1) that is takes this long to create a baby and 2) that it only takes this long to create a baby. Tony and I have been busy getting Aldo's room ready. We are missing a few things like a rocker and shelves but we have the main necessities in place! Let's see what else has been going on.....We recently took an infant CPR class and this Sunday we are taking a breastfeeding course. Other than not getting a good night sleep because Aldo is kicking up a storm the pregnancy has been going great. We return to doctor Jew's office on Tuesday for our 8 1/2 month check up. I will give another update then. Hopefully we can find out if March 14th is going to be showtime or if things have changed! Here are my 33 week belly pictures:

Day #3- Gibb and Marina in the Big Apple

Today did not snow but it was freezing out! I took the day off work to spend with Gibb and Marina- we first attempted to withstand the cold at the famous Shake Shack! The heaters were not on so we just got a strawberry shake "to go". We then saw the movie Defiance, which was much better than yesterdays Doubt. Finally we met up with Tony for a sushi dinner near the house at Haru. We loved having Gibb and Marina here and will truly miss them when they leave tomorrow.

Night #2: Gibb and Marina in the Big Apple

Gibb and Marina have really seen the snowy version of New York today (it snowed from sun up to sun down)! We woke up late- had brunch- went to a matinee movie (Doubt- we don't recommend it)- then went to a Top Chef restaurant called Perilla. If anyone has seen Top Chef season 1- Perilla was opened by the winner, Harold Dieterle. The food was great. After a brief walk by Washington Square Park we are now ending the evening watching Tony and Gibb enjoy some Oban 18.
