It was here that the found Stella's hip to be dislocated. We were notified on the second day after being confirmed by the Pediatrician. We were very sad to find out that our new precious angel would have to wear a Pavlick harness for sometime. But thankful our baby is here and healthy!

Happy Birthday Nicholas!

2009-11-19T16:24:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, November 18th, we celebrated Nick's 2th birthday with family, good friends, and GREAT food at the Cheesecake Bistro. We all sang Nick "Happy Birthday" and he sang to us "Happy Birthday" in Portuguese... what a treat! It was awesome and Nick really enjoyed it!

MY NEW MOMMY CAR!

2009-11-19T16:10:00.000-08:00

Nick went out truck shopping and ended up getting this for me!! lol.... Mommy needed a dependable SUV. We traded the ole trail blazer in for this Toyota Rav4. Nick is driving my Malibu until the summer and then I think he is going to get a truck. We will see!

What's new!

2009-11-09T14:35:00.000-08:00

So, I have been crazy busy with work and so has Nick! Today was my only day off for the week. I have been editing wedding pics all day and decided to take a break and check the mail. It was like CHRISTMAS!... I forgot I had ordered Stella Grace a paci clip so I was thrilled to see the package! It turned out awesome and now I want to order ten in every color...hahha...(not really).

Im a little late uploading this picture for you. On Oct 7th (my birthday), a close friend bought these for me... well for Stella Grace. Everyone was wanting to know what they could get me for my birthday but I told them not to buy ME anything, but if they wanted to buy something , to buy for Stella Grace. So DeeDee bought these zebra rainboots for her.... SOOOO PRECIOUS! I cant wait to see her in them this time next year!

Getting Ready for Stella Grace!

2009-11-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

We bought this painted this weekend in Canton. Perfect for our Stella Grace! (Sunday, Nov.1 2009)

As mentioned before, Daddy really wanted an LSU onesie for Stella to wear AT the hosital. AND as mentioned before, we never foudn one in town. Instead, we turned to the internet. Dadddy found this one on Etsy and determined it was the one. SO, we bought it and it turned out so cute!! Geaux Tigers!

I also need to add that this changing table will be scooted down a good bit and the armoire will go in that corner when it comes in.

And it's all coming together!

Mommy painted this stool while Daddy watched! He really wanted to help but I had it all under control...lol.

We also found this piggy bank for Stella. Gotta love Ross Dress for Less!

Then we bought baskets for the changing table. They were 50% off at Michaels and you already know mommy is a bargain shoppper! (We already had the rug before we even knew the gender)

VOILA!!!....Daddy did a great job!

The following week after finding our it was a girl, Daddy went on vacation and Mommy put him to work on Stella's room! THIS was the first thing we did....put up this fabulous chandelier.

GENDER DAY: ITS A GIRL!
SO, here is where we found out the gender of our baby. After shopping all day for the perfect LSU outfit from Daddy (we didnt find anything), we shopped that night for a dress for Stella to wear home from the hospital. Daddy and I both agreed on this dress. Cant wait to see her in it!!

This is the look I was going for if it turned out to be a girl.... and what do ya know!

REMINDER: We still do not know the gender of our baby at this point.

This changing table was a discount store find.I paid $30 bucks for it. It was originally natural wood color and we spray painted it white. Momma's a heck of a bargain shopper!

This bed is a family tradition in Nick's family on the Tuminello side. His mom and three other sisters, their children, and Nick ALL slept in this bed. So we are carrying on the tradition with our Stella Grace.

This picture was also taken prior to the knowledge of our baby's gender. Look at all the pink!

This picture was taken before we knew the gender of the baby. YES, you see pink......When we starting planning to have a baby, I prayed and prayed for a baby girl (for reasons from my childhood). Not only did I pray, but I bought....YES....I was not even pregnant and I bought for a girl. AND what do ya know...it paid off!

Mommy's Journey

2009-11-02T18:40:00.001-08:00

I was VERY sick beginning two days before I took a home pregnancy test. It was ALL DAY sickness. I am now 5 months &2 weeks and I still have morning sickness about once a week. So during that time, I lost a weight. At my last appointment I had gained 4 pounds. So, now, my 25 pound weight gain goal does not seem too bad!

Let me just add that it was ALL worth it! I cant wait to have our Stella Grace here so I can put her in time-out for all the trouble she has caused!! lol....Im so just kidding!

More Ultrasound Pics

2009-11-02T17:34:00.000-08:00

Our 18 week ultrasound. I had my heart set on a girl and just had the mommy feeling that it was but Nick had HIGH HOPES for a boy.... ITS A GIRL!! Her name would be Stella Grace.

We went to see Dr.Tynes for our 15 week appointment and she snuck in an ultrasound to see if we could find out the gender of our baby. This baby was NOT having it. The legs were crossed and the cord was between the legs. So, we had to wait another 2 weeks.

This was at 10 weeks when I went in for a some complications. Everything was fine!
