I love the Holidays!!


Happy Holidays Everyone!


It's Officialy the HOLIDAYSSS!! Yep the first sip of Egg Nog has been taken so let the festivities BEGIN!!!

We drive up to Delaware on Wednesday which in DC terms was a HUGE mistake!! It took us 6 hrs to go what should have taken 2!! It was the craziest back east traffic ever. But the drive through Maryland in the fog was really pretty even though it took forever we were happy to be taking a break to stay with family :)

What we were in for 6 hrs straight!!


Danny's Granny Pauline and Papa Joe let us spend the night at their house and Danny's uncles and cousins came for Thanksgiving dinner. His aunts were at their in-laws but we still had a house full and it was really nice to be with family away from home.

I just love these two adorable Italian people!! Thank you for an amazing Thanksgiving!



So we decided to take some fun fall pics out by the capital. I Really LOVE this time of year!! Don't worry I already have the Christmas tree up and the decorations are out!! Yea!!! I need some holiday cheer :)

Bad News

So what was supposed to be the most exciting time of our marriage has turned out to be the most heartbreaking. Danny and I went in for our first ultrasound and dr appt on thursday to find out that I had a blighted ovum and was fully 12 weeks pregnant with no fetus. It was truly shocking, heartbreaking and hard news to hear. So Friday we went for another look and the news was confirmed. Within a couple of hours they had me at the hospital prepped for surgery and the D&C was performed.
Through this whole hard process Danny and I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and for ourl ittle family. I dont think we could handle a little one with disablities right now if the fetus would have formed and it is common for complications to happen during a first pregnancy. So in a few months when our spirits are back up and my body has recovered we may try again. But for now I wanted to thank you all for maintaining our privacy and for all the love we've felt from your support and prayers. I am so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing family and friends and I wouldn't be doing so well right now without you all.

Again Danny and I appreciate your support and we'll be in touch in a few weeks.
xoxo
