A day at the park!

Today we took the kids to play at the park and have a picnic!

Olivia's 2 month check up!

Today Olivia had her 2 month well baby check up and she is going great! She is growing very well, almost too well, lol. She is smiling a lot and loves to hear her mommy, daddy and big brother talk to her. She is sleeping very well which is different for me. I am use to a baby that doesn't sleep so it has been nice. Last night she slept the best ever! She went to sleep at 9:30, woke up at 3:30 for a feeding and then slept until 8:30!! And she is actually sleeping in her crib at night which is nice because Dominic never did. Finally a baby that is getting some use out of our crib :) That makes me very happy.
Here are her stats from her appointment today: height is over the 95 percentile at 25 inches and her weight in 92% at 12.3 lbs and her head was 39 3/4 cm (I didn't get the % for that one). The doctor said she is perfect!

Here is an adorable picture I took yesterday on our walk back from the park.

Here are a few newer photos of Olivia. She is getting so big :) I can't believe she is 7 weeks today.
Things are going well with her - she is a great baby!

Welcome Olivia!

Olivia Rose Zezini has arrived!!
Born Aug 3rd at 12:54 pm
6 lbs 15 oz and 19.5 inches long
The c-section went great and baby Olivia is perfect!!
We are so happy she is here and healthy. Dominic has taken well to her for the most part. He has a few moments (in the middle of the night) when he has said "Olivia back in Mommy's tummy....that was really hard for me to hear. But I know he needs time to adjust - which he is - he hasn't made a comment like that again :)
He loves to kiss her and hug her all the time!
My recovery has been great! I think this time I am recovering even faster, if that is possible, than last time. I think I was made to have c-sections. It's not even been 1 week and I am already off the pain meds.
Keep checking back as I will update and post more pictures when I get a chance.

Dominic's 2nd Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Dominic's birthday a few days early before his sister's arrival. We celebrated with family and friends and cake and ice cream!


This was his favorite present of the day along with his toy weed wacker!


Dominic loves his new motorcycle so much he didn't want to get off it to open more presents. So we brought the presents to him while he sat on his "cycle".


LOVING his motorcycle!!


Singing Happy Birthday...Dominic loved his construction themed cake.


Dominic enjoying his cake and ice cream.....yummy!!


Here is 4 generations of John's family. From left to right: Kathy, Jaime, John, Dominic, Betty, Geremy, Danielle, and baby Gabriel.

37 Weeks!!

I am now 37 weeks pregnant and considered full term. So I can have the baby at any time. I only have 2 weeks left until my c-section!! John is going out of town (actually out of the state) this weekend so let's hope the baby doesn't decide to make a early appearance!

Just Add Baby

Here are some pictures of the baby's room. We still have a few finishing touches to add but for the most part it is ready...just add baby!! She will be here VERY soon and we can't wait to meet her!!

Lamaze class 2nd b-day celebration!

For the past 2 years we have kept in touch with 5 other families from our birthing/Lamaze class. I can't believe our babies are 2!! It is so fun to watch them all grow and turn into these fun little boys and girls. Five of the six of us moms are on our second round of babies (Kristen actually already had her daughter in April, Garian and I are due in a couple weeks, Karen is due in Dec, and Susan is due in March)!! We are busy ladies...hehe :)
Today we got together for some fun to celebrate them all turning 2. We had a gift exchange and cupcakes. The kiddos had a great time! It was nice to see everyone I just wish we has more time to catch up.

The 4th of July

Fireworks!!

Swim Class

Dominic had 2 weeks of intro swim lessons with Daddy. He was really into the slide and making Daddy go under the water. He did do well with blowing bubbles and being dunked (for a brief second) under the water. He was not really into the instructors trying to tell him what to do - he likes to go at his own pace.

Buddies

32 Weeks Pregnant!

32 weeks and counting...I have 6.5 weeks left until baby is here! My appointment yesterday went well. This baby is growing very well, in fact too well. My belly is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Which doesn't really mean anything at this point.
Starting next week I will have to go to the hospital twice a week to get non-stress tests done to make sure the baby isn't having any complications due to my high blood pressure - which I am taking meds for and is under control but there is still a chance it could put stress on the baby. So...on the bright side at least Dominic will be use to the hospital by the time I have the baby since he will have to go with me :)
I can't wait to meet Olivia!!
