Mike's PT Journey so far

Mike has been applying to PT (physical therapy) schools since August. The process is quite long and tedious. He applied to 2 schools in Arizona, 1 in Colorado, 1 in Vegas, 1 in Minnesota, 1 in Utah, and 2 in Washington. So far he has had the opportunity to interview to the one in Minnesota, both in Arizona, the one in Vegas, the one in Denver CO, and here in Utah.

WOW!

We don't know yet were we will be heading for the next 3 years of our lives yet, but we know where ever it is it will be a new adventure for our family! We hope to know within the next month.

Mike has been preparing and doing a lot of hard work to get this far in the game and I am just so grateful for his hard work and determination. He really has put his all into this and it hasn't been the easiest thing to do! I am very proud of him and know that he will succeed in whatever he puts his mind to.
I LOVE YOU MIKE! GOOD LUCK!!!

Baby Stuff

I made a Blanket for my Baby, we are pretty set on the name Jeseppi (it is Italian for Joseph and an ancestor on Mike's side of the family). The blanket is far from perfect but I enjoy being crafty and seeing something that I accomplished!

Mike's Mom and Dad saved the crib the Mike and Molly used as babies, and now we have it! It is such a cute crib (and still perfectly safe!) THANKS

I got this suzy zoo crib set and am now absolutely stuck on doing everything suzy zoo, I bought the mobile to match already! I couldn't help myself!

So many people have been so generous already, my mom has already purchased a ton of clothes for him and a few toys and books too! There have been a few people who are giving us their son's "OLD" clothes (babies grow so fast that the clothes don't even look used or old!) and so many other things like diapers and a swing and a bassinet etc etc etc. We are just so blessed! thank you all!

BABY DEPOLA

I have been rather neglectful at posting things on my Blog Sorry. I am now just over 6 months pregnant (surprise for anyone who didn't know! haha) but here is my baby's journey so far! ENJOY!

This is our baby at almost 8 weeks, just a tiny Jelly Bean! The little heart beat was going so fast!

This is our baby at 10 weeks. We went into the Dr.'s to hear the heart beat for the first time and the Dr. couldn't find it so we got another ultrasound and saw the heart beat instead!

This is a picture of his arm covering his face. at almost 13 weeks.

We went into the Ultrasound Dr. for them to test for any chromosomal problems and everything was just fine, he is perfect!

His whole body, isn't he cute!

This is at 18 weeks, they did all kinds of measurements and he is measuring perfectly and is very healthy. The Dr. kept saying that he was perfect! In this ultrasound they said he was just over 9 inches in length.

I drank almost 16 oz. of orange juice right before this appointment so that he would be sugar loaded and move around a ton! He was doing flips, just moving like crazy.

This is a picture of his face, arm and belly.

Here is a profile of his face.

another profile on the other side.

ITS A BOY!

We are both so so so excited to have a baby boy on the way!

My favorite part so far is when he kicks like crazy. I Love it when Mike feels him kicking, he always smiles so big and thinks it is just the coolest thing!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger every day and its starting to get hard to get up when I lay down!

It is all really exciting though!
