We're Having a Baby!!!

I am so happy to finally post our exciting news...we are having a baby. I am thirteen weeks along and due on April 3rd. I have been holding out on blogging about it until we heard the baby's heartbeat. We went to the doctors yesterday and she found the heartbeat right away - she said our baby was very cooperative! I have been VERY lucky in the morning sickness department; just a little nausea that was corrected by eating small, frequent meals - no vomiting! Unfortunately, I have been SUPER tired and my night schedule at works only makes it worse. The timing works out great with the amount of maternity leave I will have - it will carry us through to the time Eric graduates. But it is going to be a bit crazy with having a baby, graduating dental school, moving and starting a new job. Oh well - a little craziness should be fun!
We told out parents when we were about 9 1/2 weeks along. My parents were coming to town - so we made a poster with ribbons and balloons to go on Rocco with the big news. Rocco wasn't so thrilled about the idea and he wiggled his way out of the get up right before my parents came to the door. It didn't really work out as planned but they still got it!

Happy 1st Birthday, Rocco!

On September 16th Rocco turned the big ONE. We have loved having Rocco as an addition to our little family over this past year. It is just so crazy to think that a year ago he looked like this(he is the puppy closest to the top), and now a year later our 58 lb chunk of love looks like this,For his birthday, I made him a dog-friendly birthday cake with all of his favorite things: cottage cheese, peanut butter and bananas..














Here is a quick little video of him enjoying his feast!

Bimbo's

Last weekend, we celebrated my friend LaDonna's 30th Birthday by going clubbing at Bimbo's - sounds pretty sleezy, right??? Actually, we went there to see "Tainted Love." They are a band that covers 80's songs. A bunch of us girls went and rocked out to songs like "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Heartbreaker," and "Like a Virgin."It was so much fun, but there were a few intersting moments as well. To name a few: the cocktail straw Michelle found in her hair, the numerous times alcohol was thrown on us, the psycho guy that would not leave Mithona alone, and the nastly couple that kept grinding up on all of us! I especially loved the dirty look Nadine would give any boy that came near her! Fun times! I totally recommend going to see this band if they come to a city near you!

MIA

I realized that I haven't posted anything on my blog for almost a month. I have been pretty bad about taking pictures at things lately. Sorry I have been MIA! Here are a few randoms pic's of us lately. Eric hanging with the boys and me hanging out with the girls
