The Arrival Of Fisher Vincent Catone!

We are officially the proud new parents of the most precious baby boy in the world!

Fisher Vincent Catone has arrived and we are OBSESSED! Arriving early, Fisher made his long-awaited debut on Thursday, February 25th at 8:12 p.m. weighing in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.

We are happy and home enjoying watching him grow and change everyday.

He looks just like his dad!

Thanks to everyone for all of the flowers, food, gifts, emails and well wishes. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends and family!

Fisher and Aunt Jenna!

Don't worry, more pics to come!!!!

Countdown: 6 MORE DAYS!!!!!!

Not much to report, other than we are READY! I have always thought that Fisher would make his debut early, so if I am right...he better hurry up! We have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so we will have some news on how I am progressing. Last week, our midwife told us they would not let us go past March 5th before they induced. So, the light at the end of this long, 10 month tunnel is that the most we have is 11 more days!

Meanwhile, there is not much to do besides wait. The bags are packed, the carseat has been professionally installed, the nursery is ready, his clothes are washed, toys have been disinfected and the baby gear has been assembled. We have literally done everything.

In other news, Tricia and Katie are coming into town this week. It will be so good to see them. Hopefully, Fisher will come this week, so he can meet his fun aunts!

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day, I surprised Chris with a visit back to the 3-D image place where we went to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. Both of our families were there to get a sneak peek of Fisher before his arrival, it was so cool to share that with the family! It has been 22 weeks since our last visit...what a difference! Last time we were able to see Fisher's entire body and this time only snapshots..he has been busy growing. Here is a picture of his face, we can't wait to see him in person and hope he comes on time...14 days and counting!





Look at those cheeks; someone is feeding him well:)

Friday, we had snow and the neighborhood kids flocked to our yard to take advantage of the hill in our yard (it must seem big to them!). Chris practiced his daddy skills and played with the little boys..too cute!

Certified In Infant Safety!

This weekend Chris and I attended a Infant CPR and Safety class, below is a picture of Chris practicing what to do if the baby is choking. We are feeling good about safety and what to do in case of an emergency.

So, Fisher please hurry up! We are waiting on you!!!!

Fisher's Room

Fisher's room is finally complete. The curtains are up, the rocking chair has been recovered and painted...all this room needs is a baby!

In other news, we have been quite busy preparing for Fisher's arrival. We went on the hospital tour, took a baby essentials class, picked a pediatrician and had a little practice playing with Preston and Miranda's adorable twins!

Fisher already has friends lined up for his arrival...

How sweet is that face?!

Nursery Sneak Peek!

I have had several requests to see the nursery, but I have been holding off becuase it is not complete. But, I guess I can show you what we have done so far...here you go! The walls are a tan color and the ceiling a light bluish green.

We found this chandelier from an antique store that we love and had it rewired. It is from the 20's! Not very manly, I know. But, what is more fabulous than a chandelier? I wish I had one in every room of our house!

This is another piece we bought from the antique store. Mimi replaced the fabric so that it matched the bedskirt and blanket. Thanks Mimi!

AFTER

As you can see, we still need drapes (Mimi's next project), art and I have a rocking chair that needs to be reupholstered...stay tuned!
