In some aspects of our lives A TON has happened. In other areas of my life- (ie: battling the fun that is the job market in Michigan) not much has changed.
But no point spending time on the not so fun news- lets move onto the exciting stuff!!
We are thrilled to say that we're having a baby!! Baby Leo is due in early April and we are on cloud 9 and could not be more excited to meet this little babe!
Of course, like all news these days, most people waited and wondered how we would go about announcing the news not only to our families and close friends, but also to the entire Facebooking world.
In terms of the Facebook announcement, we knew we wanted to use a picture but really had no set idea or plans. Nick was released from the hospital early one Friday and so we decided to take advantage and although we had no method to our madness set off to the park with my camera, a camera tripod, and the baby MD outfit I used to break the news to Nick months before.
Needless to say, when you set loose 2 first time parents-to-be at the park with the cutest baby scrubs outfit EVER, you end up with not 1 picture- but about 15 pictures in random places around the park in all different poses. And so our announcement was created as a silly collage of pictures with a cute poem. The whole thing was perfect and so very "us." In all honesty, telling Facebook land wasn't THAT important to me, but being silly with my husband and daddy-to-be and getting adorable pictures that we love... priceless.
"Soon our house will be growing by 10 little
fingers and 10 little toes, boy or girl nobody knows, but either way
this April there will be... a new little Pierogi in our family tree!!"
This little baby is already so very loved and we are so blessed to be surrounded by family and friends who not only share in all our excitement, but also provide us with tons of support and love! Oh, and my parents are first-time grandparents to be.... they're slowly getting used to the terms "Grandma" and "Grandpa" as the entire family is enjoying throwing the terms around. And at the same time, all 4 of my grandparents will be first-time great grandparents! Lots of fun firsts around here. I was the first grandchild and now can pass that torch onto this little growing baby orange (no, that's not our nickname, it's simply the size of the baby currently. Nick hates that I constantly refer to the baby as fruit... probably because my timing of telling his usually coincides with him eating said fruit. "Oh hey you're eating blueberries, that's our baby!" "Can you believe that lemon you just put in your water is our baby?!" "Whoa before you eat that orange lets compare how big it is on my tummy!"... oops timing is everything!)
haha, Lindsey, that's so funny about the fruits. :) That's awesome! Were the photos taken at the Rochester Community Park? I think they're so cute!
ReplyDeleteMoe and I are both super excited for you both! By Christmas time you'll maybe be showing a little bit more!
Are you still looking for a job, or are you going to wait until you have the baby? It's kind of a strange time to find a job.. but I know you've been looking. :) Good luck either way you decide to go!
