Introducing Miss Lily Jade...

She's here! After 5 minutes of pushing, our sweet baby girl made her entrance into the world. We are so smitten and floating on cloud 9 with pride. She's 100% healthy & I'm also doing great! We couldn't be happier. <3

Happy New Year!

First, I hope everyone had a great and safe New Year, as well as a great Holiday season! Ours was especially special because right after Thanksgiving we found out I'm pregnant!! I honestly didn't believe it when the test showed two pink lines, so I freaked out and called my dr and made an appointment. After impatiently waiting for the weekend to speed by, the time finally came and I went to the dr who confirmed I was expecting! I cried and cried, I was so happy! I made sure to contact everyone in my family and inform them of the news & everyone is also just as excited as we are.

I'm due in late July. Unless the news we are waiting to hear about on Tuesday changes that due date. I took a fertility drug, since it took us nearly 3 years to get pregnant, and that increases my chances for twins to 80%, plus the fact that twins are strong on both sides of my family & I was also a twin (my twin brother died before I was born) so the chances of it being twins is very high! We would be happy with just one baby but two would be loved just the same! I have my monthly checkup on Monday and my sonogram on Tuesday. I gotta tell ya, I'm super excited! I couldn't wait for the holidays to end and the new year to start so that these appointment dates would get here. As long as there is one boy in my belly, I'll be one happy momma! I'd love to have one of each of my own. Although, Jordan is special too, it would be the world to me to be able to have a boy of my own, so it's pretty clear we are on team blue this time!!

Anyway, with that said, we will be remodeling a room off of my bedroom, that was going to be a bathroom, but will now be turned into a small nursery. So, in the coming months I'll have lots of posts about the new babies room and also lots of baby posts! I'm also going to be having a gender reveal party to find out the sex of the baby in March or April. Lots of stuff to look forward too! :)

busy birthday week

Another new layout! I like it, like it. ;)

Phew, this week really flew by, didn't it? I had plans on making a post on my birthday but my day and really my week just kinda got away from me. On Sunday, after my last post, my amazing niece Taylor came to visit me for a couple days during her Spring Break for my birthday.

We're silly together. Love!



Monday we went to get pedicures together with Gracie of course, while Jordan was in school (his Spring Break was the week before).



I got a pretty tealish blue color by Sephora & Tay got hot pink, I think it was O.P.I. It's her favorite color. I also got my hair cut a couple days before Taylor came to visit. It's a little shorter than I originally wanted but it's really growing on me (figuratively speaking). I figure it's only going to grow, right? So, in a month or so it will be perfect length.



Other than that, on the evening of my birthday Paul took me to see 21 Jump Street. It was such a great funny movie! I spotted Johnny Depp looong before most people did. I spotted him within' minutes of the film starting, even tho he was hidden in the back. You can't hide my Johnny from me, people! I love him too much. hahha



After the movie we headed to Carrabba's for dinner. Our waiter was a ball of fun, let me tell you. From the moment we sat down, he was making us laugh & was super playful the entire time. I had shrimp fettucini alfredo, which was so yummy! Paul had steak, like a typical man. Overall it was an aaaamazing night out with my man. Aaand when we got home, both of the kids were asleep! I think Taylor has magic powers or something because I can't even get my kids to sleep that quick! They must of had a lot of fun while mom & dad were away. :)



Yesterday I was home alone again because Jordan went to Opening Day with my MIL to watch the Yankees vs. Rays game. As you can see above, I got all decked out in my Yankees gear. Sadly my Yankees didn't win, but it was only game 1! We've got 161 more games to go. No worries here! I'm a Yankees fan, I know we'll see the playoffs in October. ;) I'm really looking forward to Yankees Opening Day at Yankee Stadium next week. That's something to be excited about... at least in my little world.

That's all for now! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, Easter & a great week!
