12 days and counting!!!

Wow...I can't believe my due date is only 12 days away! Luckily we are feeling ready and prepared. There is only a few minor things we still want to do before the big day arrives, besides sleep as much as possible! We still have a few more decorations to put up in he nursery but here are some updated pictures now that the room is filling up with more stuff!





The wonderful ladies I work with threw me a baby shower at work a few weeks back and we got lots of great stuff...and people have been so generous with gifts! Sweet Cousin Daniel and Sweet Cousin Audrey (The Verosmans) came to visit last week (and drove through a freak snow storm to do so!) and brought with them a fabulous DiaperCake! It's too pretty to take apart and use! Luckily the diapers are a bigger size so we can continue to admire the diaper cake before we need to use the diapers.


12 more days...here's to hoping they go by quick...we are anxious to meet baby donovan!!!

Baby Class

Last night Denise and I went to baby class. This was is entitled "your baby-the first few days" or something like that... It was somewhat informative, although sitting in a class for two hours on a friday night is not the most ideal situation. Each couple was given a doll and we were able to practice giving the doll sponge baths and changing the diaper....

I think Denise is relieved that at least I won't do something like this now....


P.S...I don't know who this baby is..I just found the picture on google images....it seemed to serve the purpose perfectly@@@

Happy Birthday to....

OUR BLOG!!!

Yes, we started our blog a year ago today...sorta as a joke. We were out to dinner celebrating our 3 year anniversary of our first date (which makes today our 4th anniversary! We are heading out to dinner to celebrate a little later)and we were joking around about starting a blog...a few hours later Andrew figured out how to do it and our blog was born. Little did we think that we would still be blogging a year later! Here's to many more interesting tidbits from our somewhat boring lives in the granite state!

Happy First Birthday Matilda!!!!

Donovan is looking forward to meeting his/her cousins!!!!

Baby Donovan's Nursery

Here's a few pictures of the nursery, almost done. We still need to decorate and put some stuff up on the walls but the painting and furniture are done! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Bergang for the beautiful crib and dressers and thanks to Grammy and Gramps Foster for the softest, most comfortable chair and ottoman ever!!!!

The Time of Our Lives....

This past Thursday night we went in to Boston for the stage production of Dirty Dancing. This was a Christmas present that Andrew had gotten me and I couldn't have been more excited about seeing the live version of one of the most fabulously cheesy movies of all times. The stage production did not disappoint and if the movie is a 10 in cheese factor, the live version was a 17. Talk about hamming it up for all the best lines! "I carried a watermelon", "Spaghetti arms", and of course every one's favorite..."Nobody puts Baby in the corner". Each one delivered to the fullest and got a great reaction from the audience. We thoroughly enjoyed it and whispered all of our favorite lines to each other through the whole thing. As far as a professional stage production goes, it seems to need a little work before it hits Broadway in the fall...the music was good and a strong part of the play however the dancing wasn't as great as it should be...maybe it's because we happened to catch the understudy for Baby. The guy playing Johnny was no Patrick Swayze (but who is?) and his English accent was a bit distracting. But other than that...a great time to be had by all...I had to stop myself from buying a Kellerman's tee-shirt in the lobby on the way out! Here's few pictures from the night...unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of the "lift" during the finale...I got caught by an usher with my iPhone out!

Pale Daffodil

Part of vacation was getting the nursery ready...because of the snow storm last Sunday we didn't get to painting until yesterday as our fearless helper Jon came up from MA to help out Andrew in the painting department (now if he could only help Andrew figure out how to get the paint out of his hair!). He was a great help (thanks Jon!)and Andrew was good to go adding on the last coat of paint last night, even after the furniture was delivered! Here's a few "middle pictures"...I forgot to take some "before" pictures but I'll definetly be adding the "after" pictures soon!
