It started out with and has continued that my little girl loves fruit! It started with cherries. I could not get enough of them. For months I had to eat fruit at least twice a day. Pineapple (fresh only) and grapes (red) were among the favorites. Apples (Macintosh are the first choice) and melon were staples as well.

Old School craving- I was ( Read more... )

    Seeing our baby on the ultrasound for the first time was such an extreme mixture of joy and relief it is almost impossible to describe.    
    We had been waiting with bated breath to be sure our dream was finally a reality. It was a funny coincidence because it was Graduation Day for my dear friends Yaya and Franny (I would have originally ( Read more... )

   Mike and I were so excited to hear the news of our baby. We went that weekend to buy baby books. I had looked up a ton of books before we went to the store to check up on what would be good to get. I ended up getting The Pregnancy Bible which turned out to be the best book! It has fabulous pictures and really answers all of your questions. It ( Read more... )

   It all began on May 2nd at a quarter to five in the morning. I had been tossing and turning fitfully sleeping waiting to take the most important test of my life. Mike and I had been trying to have a baby for a few months without success. I was anxious and hopeful more than any month before because of a conversation I had with my friend Jackie. I ( Read more... )

   We spent the night at the hotel and returned to our apartment the following day to receive a few visitors after our breakfast with our families. Mike's parents, Henri, Jen, My mom, Kelly, Janet and Amber were all there. We went to the Oasis restaurant, our usual "spizot" (spot). Everyone had some laughs and talked about the wedding and ( Read more... )

  I woke up this morning of September 15th, 2007 and was filled with a feeling of wonder. "I am getting married today, I'm a bride!" screamed through my head. I felt like it was the most excitement and happiness I had felt up until that moment. I was estatic, so much so I did not care how early I had to get up to go to our hair apointment. We did ( Read more... )

And so the day came the day before the wedding! It was such a day! The girls (Jackie, Kristen and Denise) arrived to help me run my errands. This of course included going to the reception site to pick up my little orange "lifeline" otherwise known as my planner. We diddled perhaps a bit too much and were finally off. I ended up having to leave a ( Read more... )

Time passed and before I knew it the wedding was fast approaching. It was time for the Bridal shower after so long (for my girls) planning the beautiful affair. Mike told me that I was suppose to be going to a more casual wedding. I was doing a trial run for my hair but only got to get it blown out because I was running out of time. I got a call ( Read more... )

  Ahh my dress! That was quite an experience. I searched and scoured the internet websites looking for "the one." It was an exhaustive and not very fruitful search to say the least. I found maybe two or three out of hundreds that even felt remotely worth trying to find for a trial. Then looking one day I saw an ad and I felt something really ( Read more... )

   It started like other weekends had. Mike and I had made plans to go to New York to see a comedy show (Patton Oswald) and go to dinner (my treat) for his birthday that was coming up the following weekend (Nov 22nd) since it was going to be Thanksgiving time with family.  We left work early and hopped on the Metro - North to Grand Central. I ( Read more... )
