First Toy...?

Well I figure I will try and keep up to my promise and write a new blog once a week here and over at http://gregstwiceasgood.blogspot.com/. So I've looked at tons of baby stuff but never put any real thought into it, wasn't sure I needed it. Well I do now so first things first, the baby's first toy is most likely going to be……. Sophie the Giraffe made by Vulli I'm going to get the set with the plush giraffe and with the teether/baby chew toy. Well I have read reviews since writing this, but before posting it, so I may get Vulli Chan Pie Gnon toy instead, it’s all back up in the air. I thought I had it worked out and settled and was about to make the purchase but decided to do a little more reading and that messed up my whole flow… So instead of just jumping on the newest/coolest/most popular toy out I’m going to read, read, and do some more reading then I’m going to text and message all my friends that recently had a baby and see what they think. So if you have any input, please comment on this blog and give me your .02…

First Choice

Looks Like this is going to be it!

I will be making a list of all the cool baby things as they come to mind, so I can start to buy them in the 2nd trimester. I want all the baby shopping done and in order before the middle of the 3rd trimester. At least for the first half if not the whole first year. We are pretty set on the crib posted in our last blog, so now it’s on to the land of diaper bags, car seats, stroller, high chairs, bottles, pacifiers, clothes, toys and play pens.  I know I'm missing a ton, so please leave a comment and let me know what you have found to be a necessity for your babies first year of life.

Well I'm going to try and to post more, but I'm trying to keep up with two blogs, our business website ElectricCupcakes.com, and a new 40 hour workweek!!! Well that's my time...

Thanks everyone!

Cravings, Cribs, and Pizza OH MY!!!



Well I'm 6 weeks pregnant and feeling good besides the occasional nausea. I'm excited and can not wait until my first doctor’s appt June 6th. The boys are excited and our youngest keeps asking what we are having now I don't think he can wait 5 months. We are all hoping for a baby girl but we will be happy with whatever God blesses us with as long as the baby is happy and healthy.

I'm having some cravings, nothing weird or gross just yet, mainly the normal food cravings. I love pizza and now I'm pregnant it seems I can't get enough pizza especially when it comes from my favorite pizza place "Best NY Pizza". I absolutely love their Mexican Taco Pizza....I’ve craved it everyday for the past week or 2, and have asked to go daily. So this past Thursday he caved in and took me, so I got my craving fulfilled (now I’m over that pizza) and he got their Hawaiian luau pizza. Check my husband’s blog for the review here;

We have started looking for baby items, so much has changed since I have last done this. We started by looking at crib sets and we have found this one that I absolutely love and it’s a convertible 4 in 1 (crib, toddler bed, day bed, n full size bed).

 Be on the lookout for more baby items and other fun baby stuff that we will be talking about in future post! Yes we have names for the baby and colors for the nursery picked for both a girl and for a boy. We are already looking for a bigger place to live, something to accommodate 2 boys and the new baby. Preferably with a big back yard, close to where we live now, and a garage for the husband. We have a few leads to some beautiful homes, but we’re not sure if we want to rent or try and buy one. Plus we still have some time to work out the details.

My husband and I are very excited and can't wait until the day comes for us to see our new baby. So for now we are anxiously awaiting the ultrasound and to hear the heartbeat. We are going to try and take pictures at least once a month to show my progress, and continue for at least the first year of our new baby’s life. Here are the first two pictures of the series. We took the first one and didn’t even know I was pregnant, but the angle worked out fine.

Before I new I was with child, but about a few days.



Just about 5 weeks or so.

So be sure to check back often, cause with us you never know what you might get.

Thanks and Ta Ta for now!

This Is How It Starts

So here we are 10 years into our relationship and 8 years into our marriage and now we’re pregnant! When we met there we already 2 wonderful boys Randy & Marc from a previous relationship, who I (husband) fell in love with and took care of as my own, but now we’re having one of our own. Here we are!

We are about 5 weeks and a few days pregnant we just found out about 4 days ago, the misses just thought she was getting the bug that was going around and with me starting a new job it kinda fit since that always happens, but when aunt flow didn’t happen we had a feeling but she had a weird visit a month or so back (we’re blaming stress). So after a few days and flow was a no show, we went the el cheapo route (remember we’re trying to start a business) and hit up the dollar tree for a test. She wanted to hit the bathroom and find out then, I encouraged her to wait till we got home, it would be less than an hour or so. When we pulled in to the house she was like the wind and soon she was doing the deed and, we had 3 minutes to wait, well almost instantly we saw the faint second line.  The longer the time drew on the darker the line got. I immediately ran to grab the Nikon to snap a few pics of this exciting moment.

As you can see those are some pretty dark lines. We decided what better way to tell everyone then to post it on Facebook and Twitter, but before we did we decided to text her mom and let her be the first to know. I’m still pretty sure some of our friends don’t know but they will figure it out eventually…..

We started saving immediately. We put all of our change and spare cash into an empty Welch’s grape juice bottle… aka “The Baby Fund”. If you want to donate feel free to email me for paypal information….. LoL (but for real email me).

 So here we are, on the road to having a baby. That’s the reason for this blog, among other things. To document our journey, our story and just about everything we care to share. I (the husband) have my own blog (gregstwicesasgood.blogspot.com) and the misses has one for our business (blog.electriccupcakes.com). So why not add a third to the mix, as if writing for 2 blogs plus all the other stuff we have going on isn’t enough. Well please check back often we hope to update at least once maybe twice a week, or whenever something new happens with the peanut (baby)…..

Ps. Here is the misses about 3 or 4 days pregnant (we didn’t know at the time this pic was snapped), be on the look out for the whole series of these to come..
