Happy St. Patty's Day!


Happy St. Patty's Day! Even though I couldn't savor a nice cold guiness we still celebrated Lee's heritage in style. However, we weren't able to get into a local pub :( All I wanted was some bread pudding! All the pub's turned into night clubs... Lee was so pissed. All we wanted to do was listen to some live Irish music, (Lee-drink), and eat some yummy food. We decided not to attend the annual Flogging Molly concert this year because of the smokey room. But at least we spent it together!

18-19 Weeks Pregnant


Lee and I are so excited to have a baby girl. She is already stealing both of our hearts. We both love her so much and are counting down the days until we can hold her in our arms. I know that she will be Daddy's little girl just by hearing the way Lee talks about her.
I'm just starting my 19th week of pregnancy and am loving every moment. I love feeling her move around in there (especially after I have eaten fruit). A couple of nights ago I was lying on the futon with Flynn and she kicked really hard towards him. He didn't react to any movement but I thought it was pretty funny. I am also absolutely loving the belly band which allows me to still wear my favorite jeans (unbuttoned and unzipped). My current cravings are fresh fruit, an avocado sandwich and the lime popsicles from Trader Joes. I didn't even wait till the weather warmed up to have them... There was no way I could've waited til Summer.
Lately, I have been having a hard time sleeping. I have a maternity pillow that helped me with my lower back pain but lately I have been waking up with my hips throbbing. Plus, now that I have to sleep on my sides I'm remembering all of the past shoulder injuries I had. My shoulders are sore and have even popped out a couple of times. Even the shoulder that I had surgery on is bugging me. Ahh! Other than that, I really can't complain about any symptoms. This pregnancy has been wonderful and enjoyable.
Lately, I have been spending most of my time on Pinterest looking for decorating ideas for Shannon's room. I think I have narrowed it down to color pallets and little decorative touches. However, now I need to find a crib, bedding, and pretty much everything else. We are planning on visiting our future favorite store, Babies R Us next weekend! Can't wait!

It's a Girl!

Meet Our Baby Girl!




I have been so bad about blogging lately. However, I thought today would be a good day to share my exciting news.
We're having a Girl! We've already picked out a name for our beautiful baby girl.
Shannon Marie
I am so excited to start decorating the nursery and buy girl clothes.

I am half way through my 18th week of pregnancy and I feel fantastic. I have been so blessed with a really easy laid back pregnancy. I haven't felt nauseous at all, in fact I am always hungry. I can't believe that I am almost half way through the whole pregnancy. It has flown by so fast... I'm trying to enjoy the experience of being pregnant!
