I cannot believe it has already been three 1/2 weeks since our little one arrived.  The delivery took two full days and is a long story I won't go into now.  Nicky ended up being delivered via c-section on Wed, April 22nd at 7:54 pm.  He weighed in at 8 lb 1 oz and was 21 1/4 inches tall.  We are very blessed by his arrival and the feelings that it brings out.  His Daddy was my here for the two full days it took him to get here. 

Our lives at home have been long and we have had little sleep but in the long run when he looks at us my heart melts.  God gave us a sweet and loving baby to make our lives complete. 

He's been a really good baby taking lots of naps and eating but the last few days have been pretty hard.  He has started fussing alot more and will start crying for waht seems like nothing.  We can usually get him quiet again in a little bit but he wants to be held most of the time and not take naps in his crib.  I think part of that was that we changed his formula last week and maybe it took a few days before his little body said he did not like it.  Today I changed him back to the first formula we had tried from the hospital and hopefully that will settle him down.  If any of you lovely mom's out there have any ideas I will be so very thankful to hear them.

I will try and post more pictures as the weeks go by.

Finally he arrives...

The day after he was born. 

Such a beautiful face.

I'm ready to go home now... whether Mommy and Daddy are or not I don't know.

Finally at home with my Mickey Mouse.

I want to thank everyone that came and participated in my baby shower this past weekend.  I think that we all had a fun time and we received lots of things we will need for our little ones arrival.  Here are some pictures...

Hi everyone... I know it's been a while since I've written and Harry and I have been pretty busy with work and of course there is no excuse but oh well...

We have some exciting news... we will be adding to our family this coming April 2009! 

It's kinda scary because you know I'm pretty old now!  I try not to think about being 61 when graduation comes around.  We are very excited and nervous but we'll be fine.  I am still feeling good so far but I know that will change soon.

Keep me in your prayers and if you have any words of wisdom please send them along!  I'll post more as time goes by!

We celebrated my Mom's and my birthday Saturday and told Harry's family the news... here are a few pictures.

My mom opening a very special present...

What is this??? Jack seemed pretty interested...

It seems like there is one for me... and one for you... the two Grandmas

Watching the reactions... can you tell I was nervous?

Happy Hugs all around...

Harry's Mom was still in shock... she would not let go of her little outfit... it say's "What happens at Grandma's, Stays at Grandma's".

It's so funny... she does not like dogs much but as you can tell my dogs love to go sit by her.  The new cousin brianna was thrilled as well!! she has deemed herself "the babysitter".

I can't believe it's been so long since I've written.  Here's a few new pictures...

My nephew in RI...

Harry took his nephew fishing... with success !!

I am not quite sure how I did that Xanga post?  I got a message from them that said "they missed me" and I answered it yes that I was going to put more posts on.  I did so not too long ago but I guess they put a post on for me!  Thanks for your responses :) 

Here are a few pics from our trip to Clear Lake this past weekend.  We went with some friends and had a great time.  The boys went fishing and J and I found a really neat tea shop in Calistoga and revisited a couple wineries.  I found a very yummy wine called Muscat Cannali from the Ceago winery.  There was another winery that had planted tulips and they were beautiful!

Here is a view to the left of the pier of our resort.

And a view to the right.  I love going to Clear Lake... you can get a little bit of the mountains along with the sound of the water and shorelines.

Here are pictures from the Tulip Hill Winery... we did not really care for the wine but the flowers were beautiful.
