Annabelle Leigh's Vacation East Room

My Mom told me that she was going to turn one of the guest rooms in her house into a nursery for the baby. "Aww", I thought "that sounds cute." And then I saw the room and nearly died!! Nanny and Grandpa created the most gorgeous little girl's room I have EVER seen! I can't believe this poor child has a crib in the corner of our bedroom at her house and she has THIS at her Nanny and Grandpa's house haha!

Let the spoiling begin....

NY Shaow

Hi everyone. I can't believe I haven't posted about my NY Baby Shower yet! It was beyond amazing. A Blog and pics won't even do justice to the all the work my mom and sisters did. Mom and the girls set EVERYTHING up at my Mom's house while I took the train out there with Kara, Soph and Bryan.

When we walked in I immediately started crying of course. Mom had hung a clothesline in the living room window with a million little baby outfits and shoes and hats hanging from it. I wanted to keep it up forever it was soooooo cute!!!

Then I really started crying when I saw the bedding that my sister Cindy sewed BY HAND for the baby's crib at Nanny's house. She used some eyelet material from LouAnn that is 30 years old and gorgeous, and tied little pink bows on too. SO ADORABLE.

All of my family and friends were there and the house looked like pink exploded in it. HA it was awesome! Annabelle hershey bars, pink cupcakes and so much yummy food. This shower was waaaaaay more fun than the bridal shower ha.

Jon and I got SO many gifts, I think I was opening presents for 3 hours. We can't thank everyone enough for how generous you all are. Now we just have to find a place to put all of this in our one bedroom apartment!! :)

7 months update

Hello all Moore Baby Blog followers. It's been a while since we've posted anything so lots to catch up on. I don't have a camera right now so that's why my posts have been slow. I just stole a bunch of pics from my mom so here we go!

We had our baby shower in Georgia about a month ago and it was WONDERFUL. All of GG's friends threw us ANOTHER shower even though they just had a wedding shower for us a year ago. They are so sweet and we just LOVE our extended family in GA. GG got to see my prego belly for the first time and we went shopping to this adorable baby store where we picked out Annabelle's coming home outfit!!! It is to die for.

Oh so there is a big update for you right there. We are naming our daughter Annabelle. Isn't it sweet? (Thanks Skibs ;) We are still on the hunt for a middle name. Annabelle Rae Moore.. Annabelle Rose Moore.. Annabelle Scarlet?? We just don't know yet.

Here are some great pics from the GA shower.. NY shower is next weekend! So stay tuned. We love you all! 83 days and counting...

Would you like a seat? YES!

Well it's official. I am almost 22 weeks pregnant and I now actually LOOK pregnant. Tonight is the first time someone offered me a seat on the train! It's a big first for me.. I've been waiting for it ..ha!
She was a very sweet woman with heels on so I said no thank you but it was still nice to finally get an offer. Now if only men would learn from their more compassionate counter-parts.

I'm pregnant.. and I look it. :)

Annabelle has been kicking up a STORM lately. I ate some spicy jalepeno chicken sausage last night and she was doing the Mexican jumpin bean in there. Jon felt it and he was like WOAH. ha.. off to go eat now and see how she likes pierogies.

Video update.. Big News ;)

Check out our first Video Blog.. very exciting..

Neenie will get me Big Bird Sneakers!

From the time I was born my Aunt Regina spoiled me every minute of everyday. She was my favorite aunt, my godmother, my Neenie. She STILL is and STILL spoils me everyday ha. My father always tells me that when I was about 3 months old he had to lock her out of the house because she kept bringing presents and they just couldnt fit anymore. She got in anyway..and the presents too. She bought me my first day of school outfit EVERY year and my lunch box too. Took me out shopping and I could pick whatever I wanted. I still remember picking out my Menudo lunch box in kindergarden.

When I was about 5 years old I think, my mom took me shopping for new shoes. I wanted to get these sneakers that had Big Bird on them and velcro straps. They were awesome. But my mom wanted me to have good shoes that would last and be more practical. I was not very happy. So when we got home I called Neenie immediately and reported the news to her. "Neenie!" I said "I waaaaaaaaaant Big Bird sneakers".
And of course I had them by the next day.

HA! My Aunt Regina has told me that story 10923012938 times in my life and I love it. When I found out I was pregnant my Mom called Aunt Regina and left her a voice mail "I have some news for you, call me back.. but you better start shopping for Big Bird sneakers" Neenie knew exactly what she meant and FLIPPED out! So excited.

Now I didnt think Big Bird sneakers even existed anymore... but leave it to Neenie to find them. We had lunch at her house yesterday and look what the baby got. OMG SO CUTE!!!! I can NOT wait to put these on those little feet! Love you Neenie!

Baby at 12 weeks, Momma at 15 weeks

Hi everyone. So yeah we are not so great at keeping up with our blog but we have some updates for ya. We have GREAT pictures from the sonogram at 12 weeks. I got to see the baby kicking its little legs and arms around and even doing flips. No wonder I'm still nauseaous.. this baby doesn't sit still. Sounds like the apple didn't fall far from Daddy's tree ;)
The appointment was at the imaging center at NY Methodist Hospital. This hospital is awesome and I am SOOO excited that I get to deliver there. It's clean and beautiful and everyone there from the janitors to the doctors are so nice. But the best part is that it's 7 blocks from our house AND.. the baby's GG, Miss Cheryl Ann Moore, was born there too! Can you believe how cute that is? Baby and Grandmother born in the same hospital over 60 years apart! Maybe we'll even be in the same room ha.

Check out the pics from the 12 week ultrasound. You can see the baby's spine, brain and little toes. And Jon is convince you can see a penis but I'm not sure yet. ;)















And here's a pic of me.. Momma at 15 1/2 weeks. The belly is definitely getting bigger now!!
