About Me

My photo
I am half greek/quarter Italian/quarter Jewish. So you can imagine that I even argue with myself! hahahah I am goofy and silly and love anything or anyone goofy and silly! I am passionate and strong-willed and STUBBORN but I am easily swayed when someone speaks out of Love to me. "A kind word sheweth away wrath". I always respect the Word and when it comes to the Way, the Life, and the Truth - I will not argue. I LOVE babies, children, and animals to death! Can't get enough! I am HAPPILY married and endlessly in love. Ken is my bestest friend. My parents are tied - they have been my best friends since the day I took a breath of life.

Titus Gregory Hart

OUR BABY IN THE WOMB @ 28 WEEKS!
(3D ULTRASOUND DONE AT UC BABY)



The road we have traveled so far:
206 days

29 weeks and 3 days

The road still ahead of us:
74 days

10 weeks and 4 days

Well, we have gone 75% of the way (73.57 % to be exact)! And we have 25% of the way left (26.43% to be exact)!

We are MORE than excited! We spend every moment talking about our son: what he will look like, how tall he will be, how we will raise him, what we will buy him, how we will discipline him, what kind of dogs he will be restricted to owning, what kind of advise we must share with him, what kind of activities we will do with him as a baby and as he grows up, etc. The list goes on!

I picture him with dark coloring (like da mamma!) and Hart features. I can tell from the UC Baby photos that he looks like Kenny which is what I wanted! And maybe he will get my dimples! The point is that no matter what he looks like we're gonna love him like the dickens! "Like the dickens"....what does that even MEAN? I swear that there needs to be a book out there called something like "Sayings...where do they come from and what do they mean?". I said "call a spade a spade" once in front of a black person who was truly offended! I had no idea that it had any relation to racism towards black people! It was just a saying that I was used to hearing and I thought it only made reference to calling something what it was!

Wow! Now that I have gone off on THAT tangent.......... sorry peoples! I do that now and again!

Anyways, I AM a little stressed out. My nursery is not ready, my crib is not set up, I have not purchased nursery bedding or ANYTHING for the baby for that matter (okay...two Canucks soothers and a baby book, that's it!), and I still have unpacking to do from June! Granted I have only 5 boxes left but these 5 boxes weigh on me like a ton!

My mood swings started taking effect at the 7 month mark so for the last two weeks I have been experiencing HELL within myself. I hate that! I keep 90% of it to myself but poor Ken sometimes experiences it. I think twice I have cried on his shoulder...but that's the shoulder I am supposed to cry on, isn't it? And besides - I need his help around here and WITH that help a lot of my stress will dissipate. Right?

What else? I am waiting on so many things to happen:
1) baby to come
2) nursery ready
3) unpacking
4) selling of my antique bedroom suite and dining room suite (so that we can go to Greece in December for a month!)
5) maternity leave payment to kick in (by August 27th - the LATEST)
6) my pension refund from work
7) to be fully operating my parents' business from within my home (so that I am all set up and trained to be working out of home by the time the baby is here!)

On top of all this my mothers health is not good and she is constantly going to specialists appointments of which I accompany her and all I want is to get some answers (all of us want them!). We need to know what's wrong and how to fix it at this point! However, just recently she seems to be improving so this is good news!

Anyways...all that aside! My son will be here in 2 1/2 months and I am psyched!!!
UC Baby (the 3D ultrasound company) was pretty darn cool. It helps you get through the last stretch I think....see your baby, count the toes and fingers, hear the heart beat, watch him move...it makes you feel more connected! But, it also makes me more anxious - now that I've seen him I just long to hold him! See more pictures below:
