I know some of you are still roasting in California and Arizona so please by all means do not take this as a brag...... Yesterday was the last day of summer and can you believe that it SNOWED!!! Holy Buckets!!! I was quite shocked but I loved it!! I love that it did not stick to the ground!! Hang in there everyone..... Your cooler days are around the corner!!!

Our Baby Boy!!!

This little guy was so cooperative during the ultrasound yesterday!! I think he is very handsome! I must tell all of you I was so shocked but very very happy when they told me I was having a boy.... My mom was on speaker phone so we both got to be very surprised together!! I told her I was gald she was on the phone because had I told her it was a boy to begin with she would not have believed me..... Josh is more than thrilled!!! Yeah for little boys!!

Baby's First Letter!!!

Dear Family and Friends of my daddy, mommy and big sisters blog!

First I would like to say thank you for keeping up with our family. There have been many changes this year.... Next years changes will consist of my diapers! I feel I must tell you that I have been very comfortable here in my mommy's womb, very dark, warm, sometimes quite, I get to do what I do best.... Grow, grow, grow, sleep and make mommy sick. I am sorry about that last one, however, she handles it so well! I am beginning to move around quite a bit as I need to strech and kick and figure out what these things are hanging off my body.... I am told they are called arms and legs!! My favorite piece of these are my thumbs!! They tell me around this stage of growth I am beginning to suck on them! Yummy!

Mommy has been eating some pretty yummy food lately, however, I am sure quick to let her know what I do not like! Sorry daddy, your breakfast burritos are not bad they just do not sit well right now! I sure am excited to meet my daddy, I hear him mumble things to mommy and it makes her laugh really hard, he must be pretty funny! Maybe I will have his personality! I am also really excited to meet my big sister Hailey!! I hear she has 3 little sisters already and loves helping with them, playing with them and making them laugh!!! I think we are going to get along really well!!

I am excited to meet my grandma's and grandpa's!! Pappy also makes mommy laugh when he is on the phone with her , he must be pretty silly!! I am excited to meet Ma, I hear she likes to spoil the grandkids!! Maybe I will get to spend lots of time at their house in sunny San Diego!! I am also really excited to meet Great Grandma and Grandpa.... Mommy calls them Nana and Grandpa!! They call mommy to check up on her to see how she is feeling!! Her voice always sounds so happy when she is on the phone with them! They must be really special to her! Daddy's family is really funny just like him! I am excited to meet them! They all got to go camping and had such a great time! I enjoyed the yummy ribs Aunt Jenny made and the amazing corn on the cob!!

I am really excited to meet all of my Uncles, Aunts, and cousins!! I have lots of cousins! Lots of kids for me to play with!! Even though I am going to be one of the youngest I know I will love playing with all of them!! I am really excited to meet Aunt Kelli, she sounds like she is such a great aunt!!! Mommy loves reading her blog and watching all the funny videos that she posts!! I know she watches them several times, I hear her laughing!! Then she calls daddy and Hailey into the room just so she can watch them again!

I am especially excited to meet my mommy!! I do not know who is more excited me or her!! I think it is a toss up!! I know she has been waiting for me for a long time!! I know I will be everything she ever wanted and more!!

The more I write this letter the more excited I am getting to come and meet all of you!! I think daddy and mommy have the best family and the best friends and I know I am going to be very loved!!! Thank you for taking the time to read my letter!!! I am excited about February!! Mommy will continue to give you all updates!! Lots of hugs!!

Love,
Baby Boy Giardino

Where Are You Growing?!?!

Oh little one where are you growing... My belly is not getting big by any means, not that I am complaining.... Maybe you are growing in mommy's bottom, hips and thighs... Or maybe there are two of you and you are growing in mommy's chest.... Oh little one! I know I am going to wake up one day and realize my belly is in fact much larger, but for now (pardon the pun) I will wonder where you are?!?!?
I like what this whole pregnancy is doing to my hair!!

Tiny Hands and Tiny Feet!!

I could be wrong and I have been holding off for awhile to post anything but for the past few days I am pretty sure I have felt some kicks and possibly punches! Nothing to extreme just different feelings! However, very exciting ones!

Incredible!!!

I grew up in Arizona where the temperature is always hot!! Well technically November-March are pretty decent! Perfect actually! However, today in Denver we are right around 50 something degrees with a light rain.... Hard for me to put my head around the fact that most of my family has temps about 50 degrees warmer than ours!! Hang in there you guys, cooler weather will be here soon!

8 Years Ago!!!

I cannot believe it was eight years ago that our country was attacked by such cowards! I will always remember what I was doing, where I was going and how scared I was the night after it happened! I hope we never forget those who gave their lives and those whose lives were taken from them!

Random Thinking...!

There are a million things running through my mind right now, however, I cannot make sense out of one thought! I do not like when this happens! I cannot believe that on Friday I will be 19 weeks along!! WOW! This baby making machine is working hard and working fast! I feel that time has gone by so fast! Halloween decorations are already being put up in the stores!! You know what comes next..... Christmas decorations!!! WOW!!! Teperatures are beginning to fall and I know the cooler weather and snow is just around the cornor!!! Happy day! So there you have it, a very random post about literally nothing.... But happy nothings!

Stockade Lake....!

Josh, Hailey and I were able to spend part of Labor day weekend up in South Dakota with Josh's family! We all had a great time despite things that went wrong! We arrived later on Friday night and we were greated with great company and yummy sloppy joes! I was snacking on Saltines, fruit and pretzels most of the way up, so you can imagine my excitement to have something more solid! Saturday morning we all sat around and visited while the kids, Josh and Uncle Vance played with a wooden airplane, they thought it was great! Some people decided to go swimming at the lake right by the cabins but to get to the beach you needed to drive! Everyone that was going packed up and was off! I decided to stay back at the campground to relax and enjoy doing nothing! Except eating delicious salsa that Josh's mom made!! Thanks Gina!! Later on that day the crew started coming back from the lake! I finally saw Josh and Hailey rolling up and when they parked I noticed that my hood was very different! I over heard them say that a deer ran out in front of the vehicle and struck the car! UGH! The headlight was popped out, the hood was bent up and the radiator was leaking fluid! All I can say is thank heavens for car insurance! We have great insurance and they were able to come and pick up the vehicle and have it towed to Rapid City! Meanwhile Josh's parents Tahoe was giving them trouble as well. Their water pump went out and it was over heating! Needless to say, their Tahoe was also towed into town! It was quite the trick getting everyone and their stuff back to Josh's parents but we managed!! Josh's brother Will was nice enough to let us borrow his extra vehicle and bring it back to Denver..... Huge lifesaver and a big thank you!!!

We are all back home safe and sound.... Just tired from a quick but fun vacation! Hailey had a great time playing with her cousins!! Josh and I had a great time visisting with family and catching up! It was nice to get out of Denver for a couple of days! Overall the trip was fun, despite what happened!! Thanks John and Gina for the cabins!! We had fun!

What A Trip!!

I am going to write more about our trip to South Dakota, but I need a little bit of time to give you all the run down on all of our events!! However, here are a couple of sneak peeks at our adventures!!!
Of course I posted the worst pictures to capture your attention!!! It is official.... Bambi is dead! However, we are all doing great! Stay tuned!
