Nicky has a birthday

Nicky celebrated his 3rd birthday on March 6th. Mommy and Nicky went to breakfast at Denny's, then we met Daddy later that afternoon at Mr. Paul's Barber shop and Nicky got a haircut. That night we went with his Nana and Pop-pop from PA to the Olive Garden for dinner. Nicky loves their salad and spaghetti. After dinner we went home to have cupcakes and open his gifts from Daddy and Mommy.

The next day we had his family birthday party. Both sets of grandparents were there along with most of his aunts, uncles and cousins. It was a spongebob squarepants themed party and he had a blast. He got lots of cool presents which he, Daddy and I spent most of Sunday playing with. I can't believe he's 3 already. The time just flys by anymore.

We're having a Girl!!

On March 4th all 3 of us went to the doctor to see the latest ultrasound and find out the baby's sex. Nicky had been telling us for 3 weeks now that it was a girl, to which we responded...we will have to wait and see. Turns out he was right. I was 20 weeks pregnant and the baby already weighs 15 oz. The ultrasound tech said that she weighs and measures as though i am a week further along than what i really am. She said that we aren't changing my due date, just that she is a good size baby. Big is good as far as I am concerned, I see my share of scrawny babies at work that are fighting to live. Anyway, she was moving all around the entire time and was not shy about showing us that she was in fact a girl (Rick and I sure hope that changes) Also what we thought was going to be a yawn turned into non-stop mouth moving the whole time. The tech said she was going to be one of those kids who has lots to say...MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY....little does she know i have one of those now. Nicky love seeing the baby on the screen. He got to hear the heartbeat and said it sounded like a marching band. He will imitate the sound for you if you ask him to. It's cute. We plan to name her Sofia Elizabeth. My Grandmothers middle name and Rick's great Grandmothers name were both Sophie. Both of our mothers middle names are Elizabeth. So once again we are keeping it in the family.
