The more we look at pink themed rooms, the more we don't like them very much...it's overwhelming.

We keep coming back to the sea life themes...they're so cute, and we love the soothing color themes too.

Here's the pattern we've decided on...we love the muted colors in it ... it doesn't look so great in the demo against the pale yellow wall...but our walls are similar to the blue green color in the blanket so it will look a lot better. We've also chosen dark wood for the crib and dresser as shown below in the dresser. 'Cappuccino'







Fun!
:)

We've also pretty much completed our registry ... wow, that was stressful. A HUGE thank you to my friend Carrie for providing a list of things we'd need, and there's no way I would have gotten through selecting everything without my amazing friend and mom Sue by my side to help me.



Sue, you're my angel. I had another panic attack while I was in the store and she calmed me right down and helped me to have fun with it.

We're registered at:

BabiesRus

and

Target

(Sue Egan-Mongiovi, and Bob Mongiovi)
Wait til you see all the sea life stuff...really cute :)

First I want to start with very very thankful news...as some of you knew, Bob was out of work for the summer...he was laid off in May. Very scary summer.
He recently got a contract job at a company that he really liked, and just the other day, after a few weeks as a contractor, he was hired FULL Time! We're on track again.
:)
Because he was working though, he didn't get to come with me to the ultrasound where we found out the sex of the baby. So, I had the nurse write the results on paper, and put it in a sealed envelope so we could find out together when he got home. I had to wait all day...so curious!

We met out for dinner before heading over to his mom's to tell her the news, so we opened the envelope in the car. She put an ultrasound picture in the envelope and typed the word 'GIRL' on top showing us in a diagram what we were looking at. It's a girl! Let the planning begin
:)

Yeah, so it's been a long time since I've updated this. Not sure if anyone is even reading it ... but here goes anyways.

I found a new place to take couples for their Engagement sessions, and then took Bob and Buddy there for the walk...a beautiful hidden park that was so excited to discover.



Kristina and Ben over for dinner on the patio, and then a bike ride to the lake







Happy Birthday Jenn!





I took the picture of her months ago, but then doctored it up for her bday and posted it to Facebook ;)



Finally cleaned :) Buddy's hair from under the bed..woah!



Buddy had a friend over...he even shared the sunlight on the futon...aw. :)



The summer of biking! Making up for the fact that I won't be able to ski this winter :(

















Greater Rochester Professional Photographers Summer Picnic





















More to come...and p.s. we're at 19 weeks. One more week til we find out if it's a Boy or a Girl! :)

In between Wediting (that's my new term for editing a Wedding, clever huh? :) )

we've been able to get out and about a little bit ... in between the rain storms too..sheesh! We celebrated Anna's birthday by having her and Ralph over for an amazing brunch out on the back patio..complete with mimosa's! Of course, i didn't touch the stuff...but she loved it! We took them out to mini golf too which was a lot of fun. After that we went to Marges on the lake for a cocktail and there was a live band there playing on the beach...I couldn't believe she'd never been there before with her girlfriends...she absolutely loved it; but who wouldn't! :)

Happy Birthday Anna! We love you!


Bob and I escaped one day during the week for the hottest day of the summer yet...it finally hit 90! Well, not finally for me, but if I can be in the a.c. or in the water, I'll take it! I'm definitely a pisces...I could ride those slides day in and day out ...so much fun! Yay for Seabreeze and it's right in our own backyard!

My friend Heather has a friend who's goal is to ride her bike around ALL the lakes out here... and Conesus Lake was next on her list. Heather and I got to talking about biking on Facebook, and before I knew it, I was on my way to the lake ~ 30 miles around...pregnant! :)

It was awesome...LONG, and awesome. I still can't believe we rode around the WHOLE lake. The other friend is an avid rider, and it's a good thing because she got a flat while we were out in the country ...NOT near the lake when it happened, or near anything for that matter. She carries replacement tire hoses and mini air compressors, and whatever else you might need and within 20 minutes we were back on our way. Finally when we got to the other side, we stopped at a little general store for some fresh water, and snacks.
Thanks for the amazing opportunity guys...I loved it and hope to do it again soon ~ just don't tell me you're heading for the Great Lakes next time!
:)
