I need a vacation!

So, I am not trying to be selfish or anything and maybe it is just my pregnancy hormones getting to me, but I need a vacation. Nothing fancy, just a weekend away. I'm not sure if the 3 people that read this are aware but in the last 16 months (yep, today he is 16 months :) :) I have only been away overnight one time from griffin. Sure we have gone to dinner and stuff while my mom and dad watch griffin or we have a sitter here but we, i mean I (jason gets a break from me and griff when we go to Cali and florida for 3 weeks :) ) have only been gone one night while my mom and dad watched him so me and jason could go out. These past few months I have been moody and cranky, and like I said it could be the pregnancy or it could just be the biancardi genes, i'm not sure but I think I need a getaway if i am going to be of any use to griffin, b/c i am tired, cranky, and my patience is wearing very thin these days.... So if anyone has any ideas for me, please let me know, b/c at the end of january we will have 2 little ones around and i have a feeling it will be a very very long time before we get a vacation. For those of you that have family and friends that live nearby, lucky you! I totally took all my friends for granted when I lived in Dallas, and you can bet your ass I won't be making that mistake again if we ever move back!

Until next time.............

Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning

So, i have decided to write about something other than Griffin for once. I have decided to write about another one of my favorite topics, no not britney, but HELLO, can we say major trainwreck! i almost feel sorry for the poor girl, no, not really. I am deciding to write about ME, duh!!!!

So, today I cleaned house for 2 hours, and for those of you that know me, you know I HATE HATE HATE to clean. So, I am guessing my maternal instincts were kicking in and this is why I was cleaning. And when I say clean, I mean clean. I cleaned to whole house top to bottom all 3 floors, i cleaned toilets, washed tubs and showers, I even mopped the floors. I cleaned the entire kitchen- the stove, fridge, microwave, oven anddishwasher. I even cleaned out the fridge. So, hello what is the point of this you may ask, big deal you cleaned.... Man, was I tired.........

MORAL OF THE STORY- Monday, check into cleaning lady :) :) :)

Until next time...............

my little guppy

so here's some pics of the guppy in the pool as promised. Other than that, not too much to report.

So until next time.........

Griffin Update

So, most of you know that the past few weeks Griffin has been under the weather, but this week he seems to be doing much better. He had had diarrhea for like 2 weeks straight, you can't imagine how happy I was to see a real stinky in his diaper this week. How funny is that, i get happy when griffin has a hard stool, my how life is funny!

So, this week we started our fall schedule. i am trying to get Griffin involved in activities with other kids so he gets used to being around children more. On Tuesdays he does music class with a neighbor and he really seemed to enjoy that. On Wednesday he goes to the tumble gym for 45 minutes to run around with the other brats (but mainly I do this so he will take along nap ). Then on Thursdays he does a playgroup with about 9 other boys his age, so that is good for him to learn to play.

Tomorrow he starts swim lessons with Jason so I will put a new pic up of that on Monday.

Until next time...........

This Past Week

So this past week Jason's family has been in town for a visit. While here we have gone to Maine, downtown, newburyport and the beach.

Jason's sister is here with her 10 month old and lets just say Griffin doesn't do well with sharing his toys. Everytime Zachary goes for a toy griffin goes and steals it from him. Hopefully in the next 5 months before baby girl comes, he will learn some manners.

Oh yeah, we also discovered that griffin likes pepperoni pizza :) Hope you enjoy the pics of griffin and zachary. can you guess whos butt is whos :) :) :)

oh yeah, and did you hear about my boy becks, out for 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!! At least he didn't injure that beautiful face!

Until next time.

Baby News!!!!!

well, we found out today what we are having......................


Griffin is going to have a little sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, i don't really have anything exciting to write about, but my mom wanted me to do a new post, so here it is.

I guess I am going to write about how Griffin has finally decided to eat. As many of you know, Griffin, doesn't like to eat food, except for his bottle and ice cream. But the past 3 days he has had flounder, salmon, french toast, meatballs and yogurt. Now, he isn't eating a lot of it, but hey it's a start. Way to hang in there Griffin!!! Anyway, I will do a new post on Monday once we find out the sex of Griffin's younger sibling.

Until next time...............

Fetus Update

So, i went to the doctor yesterday and everything looks good. we are at 16 weeks and the estimated due date is sometime w/in the week of January 27- February 3, 2008. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks, Monday, August 27 and we will find out if it is a girl or a boy for griffin to play with.

Until next time....

Back from Florida

So, we finally made it back to Boston yesterday. We were supposed to come back on WEdnesday but we stayed for one extra day. We had such a good time that we are going back again for 3 weeks in November b/c after that i won't be able to travel until the baby is born :)

Griffin has a blast in Florida. We went swimming in the pool, went to the beach, went boating, went swimming in the ocean and went to the aquarium. And of course he did some shopping and dining as well.

He had lots of fun with his nona and papa and he can't wait to see them again soon :)

I have a doctor appointment on Monday so I will fill you all in on how that goes.

Until next time.............

Baby Update......

So today we had the first ultrasound in downtown Boston :) so far it looks like things are going well with griffin's little baby fetus. We did an early risk assessment screening today where they do a blood test and look for chromosone abnormalities (down syndrome). From the look of things so far everything looks good. Hopefully Griffin will have a healthy little brother or sister in 6 months. The Dr. that did the sonogram said she thinks a better due date is February 3, 2008, but you know how that goes. Sometimes they come early or sometimes they are big meatballs like Griffin and come 10 days late!!!!!!! Anyway, all is well over here and on Thursday we ship out to Florida for 3 weeks, but we will be taking lots of pics posting new updates.

Untril next time...............

Fetus Update

tomorrow we go downtown for like a 2 1/2 hour dr. appointment, we will see an ultrasound :) i'm sure that griffin will be on his best behavior! After the appointment I will do a new post to fill everyone in on how it went. until then here is a pic of griffin from this past weekend at the beach. Enjoy!

Fetus Update

Hi, so yesterday I went to the doctor and it appears that so far so good. I was able to hear the heartbeat and it was nice and strong at 170. Jason was just glad to hear that there was only one heartbeat b/c he has been having nightmares about us having twins :) So last night he slept like a baby :) We are now at 3 months so only 6 more short months to go with this baby. Next week I go to florida for 3 weeks-can't wait, and then once I get back I have another appointment at the doctor. We will be able to find out the sex at week 18-20 (hopefully 18) so in a little less than 2 months would be great.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that everything is looking good so far.

Until next time............

The Meatball is walking!!!!

Can you believe that the meatball is walking!!!! I can't!!!! It is crazy, I thought he was hell on wheels when he was crawling, but that was nothing! Now he is in to everything, and i mean everything! Poor Bentley, he sees griffin coming after him and he runs the other way :)

I can't beieve such a little thing can be so fast and all over the place! but it really is the cutest thing to see him wobble as he walks all over the house :)

Well, just wanted to let you know that he is walking and doing great.

I go to the doctor on Monday so I will fill everyone in on how it went afterwards.

Until next time...............

Griffin is going to be a big brother :)

My little cry baby is going to be a big brother in January!!!!! can you believe it!!! We are now accepting applications for a nanny :) :) :)

Griffin's birthday weekend

Here's a few pictures from Griffin's first birthday! He had a great time with his family and we can hardly believe that a year has gone by. If you look closely in one of the pictures you will see that he has a keystone light in his hands ( like father like son). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Until next time......

Grffin Update

So Griffin is 10 months old- i can't believe it!!!!! I guess that means that once we move it is time to start trying for another one :) So anyway, last week me and Griffin were both sick, we had it coming out of both ends- it wasn't pretty!!!! But we are now better than ever!

Griffin is busy getting ready for my mom and dad to come visit for easter, then again for his birthday, then we go to Florida for 3 weeks at the end of July. We are hoping that since we move in less than one month-BTW- we only have 6 boxes packed so far!!!!! Anyway, we hope that once we move we will get lots of company- HINT HINT HINT!!!

Griff is busy crawling all over and babbling like crazy. He loves to chase Bentley around, not too sure how boo feels about it but he really doesn't have a choice. Well, nothing else to report but will get back to everyone soon with soem Easter pics :)

Until next time.................
