My Journal!!!

Yesterday I was working pretty hard on Colton's room and really the only thing left is to get the crib up and bedding in place!! Also we need to get some window panels for curtains! As I was sitting in the glider I was looking around at everything, the paint job, the changing table full of things to be used and I started to get teary eyed!! Is this really happening? Will he really be here in a month!! I have waited so many years for this opportunity to prove to myself as a mom what I can do!! If someone would have told me it would be 11 years after graduation this would be happening I would have laughed!! In seminary I was given the award most likely to be married first year out of high school! Thankfully it did not work out that way for me! I had a lot of learning and growing to do as a person! Josh and I will celebrate 4 years of marriage in a couple of weeks and to me that is a huge accomplishment! I do not say that negatively but we have been through our fair share of rocky waters!! Through it all we have come out stronger and we have come out better people!! I wish a baby would have been in the picture a couple of years ago but looking back we never would have made it!! I think Colton is coming at the perfect time and what a perfect way to start a new year!! I know he is going to bring so much into our home!! I promise this is not just wishful thinking that my baby boy will be perfect!! I know he will not be but he will be perfect for our little family!! And he will fit perfectly in our little world!! He has a dad and a mom who are thrilled and an older sister who I know is more than excited!! I cannot wait until he is here so I can finally hold him and get to know him outside the womb!!! Thank you all for coming on this journey with us!! Thank you for all your comments, well wishes and great advice!! 5 weeks and counting!!!

10 In 2010!!

The 10 week challenge posted on the This and That blog located to the right of my posts!! My sister has created a blog where anyone pretty much can contribute to the ideas and thoughts! She has posted a challenge to anyone who wants to follow for 10 weeks! Each week is something different to making a better you! This week starts off with journaling! I figure I already blog but I am not always consistent, this is a perfect opportunity for me to share my thoughts with family and friends! I challenge you to check out the blog for yourself and decide if you want to participate!! You have nothing to lose, only things to gain as it is called a better you!!! Try it!

Mommy Advice!!!

I am asking all of you moms new, experienced or well seasoned for any advice you can give me! This is your chance to hold nothing back!!! Anything from sleep advice, nursing, mommy time, etc..... Please I ask of you to leave a comment!! I really want to learn all I can and what better way than through family and friends!! Thank you!

Colton's Bedding!!!

I found a steal of a deal at Babie R Us tonight and could not pass it up!! Here is the first look at Coltons crib set!! I am so excited to receive it!! I just have to be patient and wait for it to arrive!! Sure beat paying full price in the store!! This is a 6 piece set, I will show pictures once it arrives and is all ready to go!!!

I have so many things to blog about, however, I will when I have a spare moment!!

Baby Colton's Room!!

The secret is out..... Little boy Giardino will be known as Colton Alexander!!! We love it!! I am so amazed at the job Josh did on his room!!! He has some talent!!! I cannot wait to fill it up with all the decorations!! That will be awhile but enjoy the pictures of the room!!

Christmas Lights!!

This is just a cute picture of Hailey with her good friend Kaden!!!

I still need to get the picture of the house at night but here is the process of the lights going up!!! Josh and our neighbor did the hard work.... I was a little unhinged while they were up there!!

Update!!

I went to my 31 week check today and everything is going well! Baby and I got a clean bill of health! Our little man may be here before February and if I had my way that would be the case! I am measuring at 33 weeks which is a couple of weeks a head of schedule!! I have another check in 2 weeks and possibly another ultrasound down the road to make sure we are not dealing with a 10 pound baby!! Doctors words not mine!!! In the meantime I am slowly feeling a little more uncomfortable, but tolerable! I am very excited to be going to AZ in a couple of weeks to see family and friends that I have not seen in quite some time!

Stayed tuned, I have more to post, like Josh putting the Christmas lights up and the outcome of him painting the babies room!!! He has outdone himself on this task!!! However, it may be a couple days before I get pictures of the finished product!!!
