More....

I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and was told that getting pregnant was going to be very difficult so I feel extraordinarily grateful and thrilled to be here! We've been through the ringer this past year with surgeries, Clomid, Metformin and lots of acupuncture. I still can't believe I have this teeny bean inside relying on me for everything:) I love her sooo much its crazy.

ITS A GIRL!!!!

Oh, but you must tell me your long and romantic story!

My name is Adrienne. My Italian grandmother calls me Adriennella Puccinella....just a pet name.

Motherhood and Old Navy both have decent and cute maternity clothes for really reasonable prices. A Pea in the Pod is out of control expensive.

Happy Birthday to you next week! What will you do for your birthday?

You're so silly! I have a very roundy waist!

When did you go to Seattle???

adriennella - 17.9 hours ago
I love your falling in love story! I'd bet he's so happy he came to LA for that visit. When did you marry?

I lived in Germany from 4 to 7 years old because my stepfather was stationed there in the military. I lived in a tiny Bavarian village and went to German school for Kinder and 1st grade. Those were absolutely the best years of my childhood. My family's from Italy, Ireland, and Slovakia (but I'm a 3rd generation American on all sides, so there's really no dual citizenship in Rose's future).

I am having a lazy day so far, but I'm going to go out in search of a cool necklace for Russell's 20 year class reunion next week. I tried to find a sexy/ pretty dress for the reunion, but I've had a million problems with that. I've decided to dress up my $20 Old Navy dress and not worry about what people I don't know will think.

I WAS a 34D...and I'm hoping to be that after the baby. I'm currently a 36E, a size that I didn't know existed until this week.

Thanks for the compliment on the profile picture! My mom, aunt, and grandmother stop by this site often to check on my belly and the nursery. Mom wanted an updated picture of me.

You look cute in EVERY picture. Have a great day....hope you avoid all liposuction patients.

Did you meet your husband in London? I think it's wonderful to live in Europe. I did as a child. People were so much kinder to me. When I came to the US, I felt that adults were rude or just ignored me. Europeans love little ones.

I am not considering a reduction. I'm not really disproportionate...and if I am, I don't really care. I've changed from 34D to 36E since becoming pregnant, but I think they'll go back down. If not, I'll just have huge ones. :-D Women in my family are all generously endowed. I'm with you on hoping they don't fall down.

I guess I'm just getting used to my lazy life. It will never be like this again. That's for sure!

I only have contractions when I walk too fast or too long. They stop if I sit down. I don't have them often, though.

You didn't tell me that you might be moving to London. That's pretty exciting! Are you close to your family here?

Ewww, before and after lipo pictures. Egad. Which ones are better, the before or the after? Ironically, Russell and I had a big plastic surgery conversation this morning while in bed. Isn't it funny what you talk about in bed? My mom was nagging me to get a breast reduction last night. That's her thing, not mine.

Beverly Hills and Rodeo drive are both sad and surreal to me. I think it would be hard to be there and retain confidence.

Russell and I are planning a trip to the beach in the beginning of August, and I'm having some dinners and such with friends, but I really don't have anything all that exciting planned for these last few weeks. I can feel myself seriously slowing down so I don't care. Usually, I'm a maniac. I get about a million things done in a day. Now, I get 2 done. :-D

Thanks! I switched from insomnia to sheer laziness today!

Oh no! Your dream sounds terrible. I've had some pregnancy paranoia dreams too. I hear everyone does. It's your way of preparing.

Oohhh...you have a husband with a sexy accent! Of course you do! You two are a hottie couple!

I think I"m ok with Russell playing mostly because it makes him happy and I get quiet time. He plays with nice people, too, so I've made lots of new friends.

I'm doing ok. I'm a little blah today, hiding out and watching too much tv....not like me. Tomorrow, I have lots of errands.

What are you shooting this week?

minkymoo78 - 46 hours ago
Thank you, I'm trying to be relaxed but it's just so difficult when you're looking for symptoms all the time and wondering am I, aren't I, all day every day! It's driving me insane! 4 days to go! ARGH

I totally understand, that is what happened to me everyone was telling me that I was definitely going to have a girl that they convinced me I was having a girl.

7 kilos is not a lot at all, that just means that your little princess is growing well

We haven't started the nursery yet

, we need to paint it first, but we have already chosen the furniture and theme i can't wait to get started on it.

Have a lovely day, much love to you and your baby xoxoxo

What are you doing this week? What's new on the photography front?

adriennella - Monday, 21 July
Yeah, I have had insomnia for the past week or so. Thank goodness I can nap during the day. I did finish Rose's art in the middle of the night, though. I'll post pictures later.

Russell is a sexy musician...hehe. I think he's an adorable musician! He plays 4 or 5 nights a week lately because I'm begging him to take a long break for me and the baby. By long, I mean a month. :-) He plays guitar very well and sings (kinda like Harry Connick or a crooner). Most of the time, he plays really old blues or acoustic stuff. I'm into indie rock, but I love that he has an artistic talent. Friends of mine wonder how I can put up with all of his playing, but I see how happy it makes him, and we really value our evenings together when we get them. No offense if you love sports, but I'd much rather a musician husband than a football watching one. Oh, and he has a day office job. I love the artist side of him, but I'm glad he's not chasing money with his passion. It means that he can play when and how he wants to. He never takes requests.

Hey thanks! Your e-mail uplifted my spirits

sharondel - Monday, 21 July
Really? You would have been disappointed if you were having a boy? I love little boys!!!! In fact with my first i was praying for a boy, this time i was hoping for a girl to have one of each, and thought i would stop at 2 kids but Sergio is so pleased cause he always wanted 3 so now we can try again for a girl in a couple of years

Wow that is lucky, just 4 kilos!!!

Have you got yr nursery started?

minkymoo78 - Monday, 21 July
Hi I'm not giving up hope yet and yes I do always try and stay positive but I'm just so scared of AF showing up again! 19 months of waiting and it's just driving me mad. one minute I think I'm pregnant, the next minute I don't. I just want to know either way so I can celebrate or move on to my next cycle!

How are you anyway?

adriennella - Monday, 21 July
Wow, sounds like you live in everyone else's dream vacation. It's pretty suburban here, but it's close to lots of places for Russell to play music...and I love my job. I am envious of you, though.

I'm feeling much better now. Must've just been one of those things.

Thanks for the thin compliment. I don't think I've been thin since I was a teen, but it seems that no matter what size I really am, I don't particularly think I'm thin. I worked hard to get into that wedding dress (sent to me a size too small), but I started eating again the day of the wedding.

I posted some new bump pictures to demonstrate my ever expanding self.

Oh, I checked a little of the self-hypnosis stuff. It's very involved. They suggest a 7 week course and 30 minutes of practice with your spouse every day. It might not work at all, but I'm going to read everything and sort of do a Cliff's notes thing. I'm certain that Russell is not going to run scripts with me each night. He's great at calming me in his own way.

Hope you have a good Monday.
