Only 11 weeks left!

It's hard to believe that we only have 11 weeks until this new little guy will be here. It doesn't seem that far away. So far eveything is going great with the pregnancy. I haven't had too many cravings and haven't wanted anything odd like pickles and ice cream. But my sweet tooth has increased a lot!

For those of you who didn't know, I took a trip home to Atlanta in late Oct and stayed for 3 weeks. My mom had a baby shower for me and we got a lot of really cute gifts. It was a great time! I got to see my family and friends, and of course eat some American food! Here are just a few pictures from the shower.

When I got back to Sicily, one of my good friends here also hosted a shower for me here. We also had a Men's "Beer & Diaper" party for Aaron and all the guys. I didn't want them to feel left out. Everything turned out really great. The guys were all at our house drinking beer, watching football, and playing the PS3. Our house was transformed into a Man Pit for a nite. Aaron had put up a projection screne to play the PS3 on in the living room, had football on the tv, and then added another tv into our dining room. The women were next door doing the traditional baby shower things. It was a really great time. Here are some pics from the baby shower...

Baby Hanlon

Here are the ultrasound pictures of Baby Hanlon. As you can see, he was proud to show off that he was a boy. We didn't get many pictures of his face. We are extremely happy it's a boy!!

Finally choose the bedding

After doing a lot of searching, I have finally found a baby bedding set that I really liked. I didn't really like any of the "baby" themed sets that I kept seeing and I also didn't like anything too modern. This set is perfect! It's exactly the colors I was looking for and it's perfect for our little country boy. My mom is amazing and purchased this for us! We love my mom!

Incase you wanted to see us...

We still upload most of our pictures onto Webshots. We haven't finished uploading all of the pics from our last trip home in May or the pictures from our trip to Rome. The website was pretty slow the last time we were trying to upload. We are looking to find another website to share our photos with you all, but something that is quicker. But for now, enjoy the pictures that we have on there :)

We are back!

It's been a while since we have posted a blog. What can I say, we are slackers. :) But with the upcoming new arrival of our little guy, this is the best way to keep everyone updated. As many of you know, our little one is due on February 15, 2009. We are pretty excited to welcome him to our family. We both really wanted a boy, and were ecstatic to find out that's what we got. Time is flying by, and he will be here before we know it!

We have a name somewhat picked out, but nothing is confirmed yet. As soon as we decide, we will let everyone know!

Keep checking our blog for some new pics :-)
