Frankie Salvatore is on his way!

We decided to name our son Frankie Salvatore after my mother's father and late brother (Frank's) and after Brian's father's late father (Salvatore). Our son not only means a lot to us, but this way it brings a piece of Brian's grandpa and my uncle to us, while also honoring my grandfather. When we went for the ultrasound yesterday, he was measuring big, and is already 14 ounces! His heart, brain, and overall body looks healthy and is growing perfectly!

It's a Boy Celebration!


Showing off our baby boy's first pictures!


As soon as we found out, we called Grandpa Sam and Grandma Dawn, and then we stopped by my parents house to share our good news!

After, Brian and I went to Wildfire to celebrate. We are so emotionally drained here! Seeing his pictures and finding out that he is a boy is so amazing, and it made it that more real!

It's a Boy!!!


Here is our son. We are looking at his face on the right, you can see his eyes, nose, and mouth. We can also see his body and on top is his arm and little hand!

This is the direct view of how he is laying inside me. He is in a downward facing dog pose for all you yoga fans. He has his head down to the right, and you can see his leg is slightly bent at the knee on the left. You can also see his spine.
At first, he was being a bit of a stinker and had his legs crossed as you can see here.

This is the shot that told us all! That would be his two legs with "the reason we know he is a boy" in the middle!

New Years!


New Years Eve we went to see Dirty Dancing with my family, and then we went to Viaggio's for dinner!
Kiss at Midnight (By the way, that's sparkling grape juice in my glass!)

Bump to Bumps shots!


Malissa (Brian's cousin Danny's wife) is due 10 days after me on May 31st! Our babies will be second cousins!

Laura is due on July 28th, and Nicole is due on May 19th! Nicole is giving birth at Northwest Community Hospital, which is where I am giving birth, and we are hoping to be there at the same time!

Kristie and I bump-to-bump at Patti-Anne's wedding in November. Since then, Madeline Grace has graced us with her presence. She was born on December 9th!

Christmas!


Christmas Belly! Just the three of us.


Gifts for the "baby in the womb!"
Brian bought me the "mom-to-be" precious moment!

Who does Frankie look like?
