Its a bouncing baby BOY!!!

There is no doubt about it that baby is a boy!!!

Curtis and I are so excited for this new addition! As soon as ulterasound confirmed it Curtis said that his motorcycle stuff is going up in the nursery. He is just loving that he will have a little buddy to tag along with him to the races and play basketball with. I am going to need lots of advice!!! Look how adorable our little man is....

I don't know if you guys can see these one but here are some more evidence of our little photoshoot of our little one
Everything looks great. We are measuring right on schedule, July 7th here we come!!! I will have to update everyone with a belly shot. I just have a little bump, nothing too impressive. Its crazy, I was thinking that I have been feeling the baby for the past week or so but just wasn't sure. But after seeing how active the little guy was in the ultrasound and that I could kinda feel the movements as I saw them... well now I am convinced that it is him and now think he is more active than anything. It is such an odd feeling to say the least! I really can't describe it but it is just such a neat feeling to know that it is my baby! Not just my tummy growling!

My Own Worst Enemy and the Love Hate Relationship!

I remember before Curtis and I had told anybody we were pregnant my fellow prego friend Nat had told me how it was difficult for her to not be nauseous when brushing her teeth because of the gag reflexes that she gets. I didn't really understand until I hit about 7 weeks and then the falsely named 'morning sickness' hit. I know I have been more lucky than others but man I was just banking for when my first trimester would be over. But I am now officially 15+ weeks and now officially dread when I have to brush my teeth! With out fail I will always get the nasty gag reflex which then leads me to my other type of relationship... the love/hate relationship that I have with our beloved toilet. I never thought I could absolutely hate and be extremely grateful for one thing before! And since being pregnant I have developed a low tolerance for patience and positivity. Sorry for the blatant negativity but I just really needed to vent! When will it be over!!!

Happy Birthday Curtis

January 7th was Curtis' birthday. We had a great week of celebrating his big day. Curtis is such an example to me and I am so grateful to be apart of his life. I am grateful for the man he is and the strength he provides our family. That he is SO patient with me and is extremely loving. He is the leader of our home and teaches me in many ways every single day. Happy Birthday babe I love you!!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday (with the exception of our destructive dog- I will save that for a later post)

Welcome baby Charlotte Raya Criscione!

I am so excited to welcome this sweet new baby to the Royce family. She is absolutely beautiful and so tiny! She weighs 5.02 pounds and looks so long. Congratulations Rach and Gio on your new addition. It is difficult being countries apart but I can not wait to meet baby Charlotte!
