Macy Paige Cocchiarella

Two weeks ago today, the greatest joy entered our lives: Macy. Our daughter decided to make an early appearance (10 days) and came on her own terms (frank breech). The past two weeks have been a blur of sleepless nights and eskimo kisses. She is truly the greatest gift we could have asked for.

Born: 03/15/2012 12:33pm

Baby Showers

We are so blessed to have the best family and friends in our lives. Ashley hosted a friends baby shower at her home on January 28th and then my family hosted a family shower at the White Bear Country Inn on February 11th. I had such a great time at both - thanks to all that came to celebrate! It's still sort of surreal knowing we'll have a baby girl in our lives in less than two months. To say I'm excited to become a mother and for Sam to become a father is an understatement :)

The Nursery

Here is our nursery! Thanks to my mom and grandma for getting all of the nursery decor for us as Christmas presents. We had the toughest time picking out paint, but I must say, I'm happier than I thought I was going to be with the light lavender color. All we need is a rocker in the corner and a picture frame above the dresser....and obviously, our baby girl to make it complete.

Final trimester is here...

This Sunday marked my official entrance into 3rd trimester. I'm 28 weeks! Sleeping is getting more difficult; it takes a lot of effort to switch positions at night. I literally can't turn over unless I use my foot to help kickstand me over. Let's just say I'm glad I don't have a water bed because I would be stuck. Our little one also likes to give me a thump, thump, thump, pow consistently between 3-5 am. She's definitely getting stronger! I guess this is new sleep schedule, or lack thereof, is great preparation for what's to come in March.
