It's a Girl!

On March 6th, we found out that Mar Mar is a girl. While I am soo excited it's a girl, I think Ed has warmed up to the idea a little bit more, although he is somewhat disapointed that he is not getting a football quarterback as our firstborn! This is a photo of Mar Mar at 19 weeks. I can't believe how clear the sonogram is! Clearly she is advanced. Mar Mar started to kick about 3 weeks ago. It's so weird to have something moving inside your stomache, but very cool. I think she's just reminding me that she's around.

Sarah's Pregnant

On November 23, 2006 (Black Friday shopping day) we found outI was pregnant!! We were kind of shocked at first and of course very excited. I have had a very easy pregnancy so far; no morning sickness, no cravings. We affectionally call the baby Mar Mar because two weeks before we found out I was pregnant I had this dream about my friend Kelly who was so pregnant and she was showing me all her baby things and she said that she was having a girl and going to call it Mar Mar. So when we found out that we were pregnant, we just started calling the baby Mar Mar. And yes, we will be giving the baby a "real" name when she is born! I am due July 28.

A Beautfiul Day in Santa Monica

Labor Day Weekend

We took advantage of the beautiful weather in Santa Monica and spent the afternoon at the beach, relaxing and boogieboarding with my sisters and brother in-law.

Jenny's Birthday Party in California

My sister Jenny came to visit and we celebrated her belated birthday. We went to Duke's in Malibu for dinner and back to our house for cake and presents

Fantasy Football Draft

Ed is very busy prepping for his football draft with our bi-coastal cousins!!
The draft lasted for hours.....Go Team Olko!!!

*Note how Ed surrounded himself with his good luck figurines, he swears that by having all his Patriot gear out, the Incredible Hulk and his Yoda pez dispenser; somehow that will help put theperfect team together!

Mary's baby shower

My sister Mary and her husband Dave are expecting twins at the end of October and it worked out that during our recent trip to Springfield, MA we were able to attend her baby shower. Our friends Pippy and Darrell drove down from Maine to see Ed and I and to attend the shower. I must give Pippy the credit for getting me on the blogspot!
