Sully's 2nd Birthday!!!

may 5th is was sully's 2nd birthday. of course we had to throw him a little party to honor his 2 years on this earth. we celebrated by making him a lovely two layer meat cake (or two hamburg patties). we sang to him and he shared his yummy cake with his sister bella!! happy birthday sully!!!

Scott's 32nd Birthday!!

It's the birthday boy!!!!!



what a cute baby.....i hope our little boy looks exactly like my hubby!!!



here is the birthday cake i made scott. he really wanted cream cheese frosting so it doesn't look that smooth. it was a first try so now when our baby boy turns 1, i will have some experience!!

4D ultasound photos

we had another ultrasound today. this one was performed by our dr. so they were able to measure our baby and make sure he is growing into a healthy baby boy!! it was such a great experience seeing all the measurements and pictures the technician was taking. she confirmed that he is definitely healthy!!! yippee!! he has all his parts....placed properly and working correctly. she was able to rule out spinal bifida and there were no signs of down syndrome. she was able to show us our baby in 4D!!! she gave us a bunch of photos of him in 4D. you can see his little nose and lips which i think look like scott's. he weighs about 1.2 lbs and everything is in proper alignment for me to have a natural delivery.

this is one of the shots that was taken not in 4D...he was moving a lot so it was hard for her to get a good shot

this is one of my favorites because you can almost see his whole body. he has the cord in his hands...weird huh?

i think of this one as his muscle man pose...flexing everywhere!

his little arm

his cute face

cute little face again :-)

22 weeks pregnant!!

as promised, here are some photos of me at 22 weeks. disregard my disheveled look....i didn't know scott was taking a full body shot. we have another ultrasound tomorrow morning so hopefully i will have some new photos of our little boy to post!!!

Red Sox vs. Angels

scott and i were able to go to both saturday's and sunday's red sox game vs. the angels. of the two games we went to the sox won on saturday and lost on sunday. we bought really cheap tix for saturday's game and stood at the budweiser pavilion the whole time. my bro todd came with us to that game....fun fun!!!!! the best part was that scott got a "B" shaved in the back of his head for the games. it actually looked AWESOME! so many sox fans were taking pictures of his noodle all day long!

for sunday's game we went with our friends kevin and lindsay. it's funny because lindsay is also pregnant (26 weeks) with a little boy. it was so much fun hangin out with a fellow pregnant beauty :-)

we actually had really good seats for this game. we sat directly behind the first base foul pole. our section had way more sox fans than angel fans. unfortunately they still lost regardless of all our yelling and cheering.

wally the green monstah was out front. we actually met him at sonny mclean's last year. i can't imagine how hot he must be in that suit!

partying at the game....scott spent most of the time talking to the fellow Revere boy behind us

18 week ultrasound....IT'S A BOY!!

here are some photos of our beautiful baby boy :-)

......his tiny foot

.....his arm and leg

....a big yawn!!

....and it's a BOY...you can see his little cash and prizes :-)

we finally had an ultrasound on Thursday and the results are in.....IT'S A BABY BOY!! we both were soooo excited to find out.....scott especially. we couldn't believe how he looked. we could see all of his tiny little features and it was so cute because he got the hicuups while the ultrasound was going on. he also had a big yawn that was captured. we were able to get a 10 minute DVD of the ultrasound but i haven't been able to upload it yet. once i figure it out i will put it on the blog. i also tried scanning the photos in but they were way too dark. i will see if gina can get the dvd on the blog for everyone to see.

i am now 17 weeks pregnant...yeah! today i had another dr. appt for some blood work to determine if the baby has down syndrome or other diseases/disabilities. the worst part was the weigh in :-) and the best part was hearing the baby's little heartbeat.
i have gained 8 lbs so far and my doctor said she would like me to gain a total of 20!! that means that i should only gain 12 more lbs. throughout the whole entire pregnancy....i'll try. the blood work was an experience because they had to do it 3 different times. they found a vein in each arm but nothing would come out. when the nurse took out the first needle blood squirted everywhere! it was down my arm....on the floor....everywhere! good thing i am a weird person and enjoy getting blood drawn. so finanlly a new "professional" blood taker had to come in and attemp to get my blood. well she opted for my wrist which was very odd but it worked. so now i have 3 bandaids and a slightly bruised wrist.

here are a couple photos of my 17 week belly.

great news to share....we have an appointment for our next ultrasound. we are meeting with a genetic doctor so they can determine the health of our little baby. what is even more exciting is that we will (hopefully) find out the sex of the baby!!! i say hopefully because there is always a chance that the baby's position will hide their girl or boy parts. our appointment is scheduled for April 6th at 1 PM. i will be sure to keep you all posted!!!

i will finally post photos of my pregnant belly. i am now 13 1/2 weeks pregnant and feeling great. no sickness, no more exhaustion.....but still could cry at anything. here i am about a week after i found out i was pregnant......looking sexy right..lol!!



...and here i am today at 13 1/2 weeks.

poor bella had 2 lumps on her back so we had to take her to the vet. we were nervous that they could be tumors but luckily they were only cysts and she got them both removed. she was such a good patient. the vet couldn't say enough kind things about her.

sully was very concerned when he saw his sister for the first time......


here are some photos of bella, post surgery :-( we will be heading back to the vet on friday so they can remove the staples.
