Peeing every 20 mins. is not an Option today!!!

What makes up for not having a working bathrooms... FREE FOOD IN THE CAFE ALL DAY LONG... It's great being pregnant during a Water main break!!! Water Main Break Sends CNBC Staffers Home
A water main break in Englewood Cliffs, NJ has meant an early day for many CNBC and other NBCU staffers. CNBC, part of a two-building campus in the Northern New Jersey town, has evacuated non-essential employees. We’re told staffers are being shuttled to another location to use the bathroom

Thank goodness for Destination Maternity...

I keep saying that if I continue gaining weight I will have to ask my mom to make me ones of these, but seriously could these dresses be any uglier....

Why do they all have little neck bows LOL

Thank you, Roy Kroc (founder of McDonald's)

I just LOVE McDonald's Sausage Egg Mcmuffins....

In the past 17 weeks I can't say I have had any cravings but there is something about the Sausage Egg Mcmuffin that makes me smile, I wish McDonald's would serve them 24 hours....

July 24th is not coming soon enough...

On July 22 we find out if the baby is a Boy or a GIRL.... BUT we are not finding out from the ultrasound tech... we are having a Gender Revelation party where we will all find out the sex of the baby by cutting a cake which will be PINK or BLUE... Stay tuned...

And the myths continue

There are a million and one myths on if the baby is a boy or a girl...

Here are the results of one of the oldest.. We'll see if it's right on July 24th

According to the Chinese calendar the baby is a GIRL!!

16 weeks.....

It's insane that 16 weeks have gone by already...
The past 4 weeks have been a little tough since I pee all night and when you have to wake up at 3am to go to work, waking up to pee at 1am is NOT A GOOD THING... I have actually plead with the baby to please stay away from my bladder so I could get another 30 minute of sleep, but it doesn't work. Maybe she/he thinks my bladder is one of those Bounce things at Bounce U...

My making cake days are numbered since getting Felix's 7th birthday cake done was tough.

What is up with the NIGHTMARES.... I have done some research and apparently vivid dreams during pregnancy is normal... Seriously if people could stop killing me and chasing me in my dreams it will be great, I really need to sleep.

Drs appointment went well. The baby's heart beats fast and so far everything looks good... I only gained another 2.8lbs.. Not too bad for eating ice cream and cake :)

Next up:
Our 20 week ultrasound, and yes we are finding out if it's a BOY or GIRL. I can't carry a human for 9 months not knowing what it is!!!

Telling Felix and Sabrina about the baby...

Baby Epifania at 12 weeks old

Our 12 week visit

Our 12 week visit was awesome... We met with a genetic specialist who went over all the exciting testing they do when you have a baby at 35...

The ultrasound was fun but took a little longer than we planned since the baby was not behaving already... He/She refused to turn around, and show the doctor the neck area (that's the area they look at during this ultrasound). It took moving, coughing, peeing and moving some more to get it to cooperate... And when it finally did, the baby began doing something that looked like the 80's "Running man dance"... I think I have hung out too much with little Felix because the baby is a great dancer.

I only gained 2 additional pounds and the doctor gave me the green light to color my hair... (I was not allowing this baby to meet me with gray hair)

I have to consider myself lucky, in 12 weeks I have only felt tired but no vomiting at all... Yippy!!!

Mother's Day Surprise

So I wanted to share the baby news with Mom, Susy and Angie in a special way... so why not make them search for clues in Hershey Park on Mother's Day...


We also surprised Lucille and Michele by placing a baby doll we borrowed from the day care with a note saying I'M COMING ON DECEMBER 8th"
