Friday Belly Shot Week 11

Week 11 is almost over! OB Dr apt. on Tuesday and out of my 1st trimester... went so fast. This week felt some weird pressure, but I know that is normal as things are stretching and changing.. also had a bit of nausea and heartburn. I would take a couple bites of something and then not feel too good and very very tired. I am also way more emotional than I was when pregnant with Gia...I can cry at just about anything... haha.... Onto week 12!!!

They're back!! Monday Belly Shots with Melissa!!!

We are back!!! Haha!! Melissa and I have started our weekly belly shots! We are 2 weeks apart this time and I am the one who is more prego than her. Last time with Presley and Gia, Melissa was 7 weeks ahead of me and then Jeej came early, making it 3 weeks!!! It is just the greatest being able to go through this again together!!!! Love you Melissa!! This time Melissa came up with the cute idea to hold the food or object that is equivalent to the size of our growing baby bundles. As you can see she is holding olives and I am holding a lime.... stay tuned for next week!!! 

Our little miss sweet cake on another lazy Sunday!

Friday belly shot 10 weeks!!

Feeling great as week 10 comes to a close! Just tired and the usual peeing all the time that is about it thank God!! My appetite has gotten larger as expected and of course it is for meat and meat and more meat. I probably could eat like 3 hotdogs in one sitting but I am not haha! Today, was the first day one of my students said, "Look at your little belly"... so yes I guess I  have popped out.. I think it depends on what I wear LOL! Onto week 11 and one more week until my second OB! What's news around here? Gia is walking all over and talking up a storm...she cracks us up everyday.. it is just the best!

Tommy's loves!!

Dante!

Valentina!

My cousin T in Chi-town (Chicago) just got another dog out of my home state NJ.. little love Valentina!  Tommy will fly back out to pick up Valentina when she is of weight to travel. I am so excited to meet her she is just the cutest little love and I think she might become Igby's little girlfriend! T has had Dante who is a beautiful dobe. Dante is just a big love bug .. size of a pony...and I miss not seeing him.. he is so sweet and playful and believe it or not I can bet that he will be afraid of Valentina because T has already told me this little girl is a pistol... Congrats T on the new addition to your family. I can wait to meet her! In the meantime give Dante some love for me.. hugs and kisses!!

Gigi walking around....

Belly Shot Friday's are back! Week 9

I started the Friday belly shots with Gigi between week 9 and 10 so it is only fitting to start again at the same time  with Baby M #2!! I know I have said this before, but I can't believe the little "pancia" (aka belly in Italian) or as my family calls it "bonzi/bonzette" I already have... this is the weird time between my regular jeans/pants and soon to be stepping into my maternity wears. I actually got all of my maternity wears out today because I have a feeling that time is coming sooner than later and I LOVE IT!! Onto week 10!!! My second OB is on 10/2 and believe it or not that is the end of my 1st trimester already!!! How come this time everything seems to be going by so fast? I think I need to take a moment and really enjoy what is happening here haha!!

CONGRATS to Melissa, Kyle, ad Presley!!

Congratulations to the Von Tersch family!! I am so excited my beautiful friend Melissa is pregnant!!! She is 2 weeks behind me! It all started when Melissa had a pretty in depth conversation with Sal at the Picture People when we were getting our kiddos pics taken about getting pregnant together this past Summer haha. I wish I could have taken a picture of Sal's face.. I mean Sal and I  talked about it but very casually and Melissa was like a bull LOL!!  When I was pregnant with Gia and Melissa was with Presley the girls were originally 7 weeks apart, but Gia came early so the girls are about 3 weeks apart. This is truly amazing to be able to go on this journey of pregnancy together once again my very dear
friend.  I am so so so excited. I love you very much and I can't wait to start taking our belly shots AGAIN!!!!!

Gigi in her play tent!

Gigi has found a new little haven! I have never seen her so happy in this tent... her own little space and play area, as if she did not have enough already haha. She LOVES rolling around in there because it is so cushioned and loves playing peak a boo with us while she is in there... ahhh our little Gigi you are just the best and never cease to amaze Mommy and Daddy!!! WE LOVE YOU... OUR SWEET PRECIOUS LITTLE LOVE!!

Little miss walker!!

Week 9 of being prego!

Already this pregnancy is different as I know it would be. I am for sure showing faster in my boobies and belly! The thing with the belly at this phase is that it is more bloated than actual baby as the baby is only the size of a green olive this week. So, I am not near maternity clothes, but the bloat makes me feel  like I can sink a ship. Haha ...I am much more hungrier for EVERYTHING too. Not for junk, for good and hearty food.. preferably meat .. which was the same with Gia. But, all of this is starting much sooner with this pregnancy. All is going well though and I feel great! Belly shots are on the horizon!!
