A Virginia Shower

William was spoiled ROTTEN over the weekend! I had my Virginia shower on Saturday after Thanksgiving and I had the greatest time catching up with family and friends. The shower was held at the Hay Adams in D.C. in their room overlooking the White House and Washington Monument. What a view! And you wouldn't believe the incredible weather we had for the day. So nice out that we could open the doors to the room and enjoy the cool, brisk air. William received all sorts of goodies... from his moses basket with rocker to puppy dog towel to adorable little boy outfits. I can't wait to use everything he received!

Bill Cosby on Parenting

"Parents don't believe in justice! They just want QUIET!" - Bill Cosby
Last night we went with the whole Orosz family to the Florida Hospital Golden Gala and Bill Cosby was the entertainment for the evening. I am a HUGE fan of Bill Cosby stand up and The Cosby Show, so I was really looking forward to seeing him. As expected, he was hilarous and his jokes on topics such as marriage, childhood, and parenting would make you cry from laughing so hard. In light of becoming new parents in the next 10 weeks, I found the parenting jokes in particular to be extremely funny. And so, you're in for a treat because I YouTube-ed a couple "parenting moments" of Bill Cosby's and thought I would share. Enjoy! Also a tummy update below! 30 weeks along...

3D / 4D Pictures!

What a great day it's been! Today is Matt's 28th birthday and today we had William's 3D/4D ultrasound! It was SO much fun seeing his little features!! Absolutely amazing to watch him yawn, open his eyes, stick out his tongue, move all around (so much so that they asked what I had eaten before coming in... just grapes!). The consensus is that he looks like Matt (consensus being me and the sonographer) at this point, but I don't think anyone can argue that William doesn't have Matt's big puckers as I like to call them :) I am just dying over these pictures. An early preview of our little man to come! 

P.S. The sonographer said he's head down, so let's keep our fingers crossed he stays in that position for the next 10 weeks!

A pretty nice birthday present if I do say so myself... I'm looking forward to celebrating this evening at dinner and through the weekend. Happy Birthday, Matt!

Hi guys!



Look at those big puckers!

Sweet little William

 

Mmm Mmm Glucose . . .

Today I had my blood sugar screening. The sugar water tasted terrible and trying to get that down in five minutes was a struggle! Matt thought sugar water sounded delicious -- seeing as he's a sugar fiend, I imagine he would have no problem guzzling the cocktail. They took my blood an hour later and we'll find out in a few days if there are any issues. Fingers crossed! And no Rhogam shot for me today because Matt and I have the same blood type! Hooray!

Since we are officially in the 3rd trimester, I will be seeing the doctor bi-weekly through December. Then it will be weekly up until the due date. I sat there with the receptionist and plotted out all my appointments through January. Pretty wild! I also had to register at the hospital for D-Day. This is where we'll be when William arrives... Dr. P. Phillips Baby Place.

This past weekend we were in Nashville, TN for my cousin Megan's wedding. She married Kevin Daniele in Nashville and the reception was in her hometown of Franklin, TN. Franklin is the cutest town and talk about some great interior decorating shops! If you ever visit Nashville, make sure you make a stop in Franklin too. We all had such a great time celebrating with family and congratulations to Megan and Kevin -- Mr. and Mrs. Daniele!
