Welcome Little One

Giovanni Michael Antenucci entered the world at 10:10am this am at 8lbs 2ozs and 21.5inches. I was induced this morning and within 2hrs and 24mins had a baby boy - let's say this was the quickest delivery I've had! Anthony came in 1 hour start to finish but I was already dialated and in labor before I got to the hospital - Giovanni was from nothing to finish, ouch! :( I can safely say that I have finished having babies, now hopefully the Lord agrees with us b/c I thought I was done last time after Vinny. I'm not willing to take permenant measures, but definitely got to look at all the options this time. I'm feeling much better now - that took some pain meds and 8 hours this time, getting longer with each child.

Made it one more time

Well, we just returned from church - yes I made it another week and was even able to play for worship. But now I am tired and quite ready for baby to arrive tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow is the day that I am being induced. I'm still praying that the baby will start on its own, but either way I will hold a new little one tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to a new baby, but I hate the fact that I won't be with my other babies. Here is a layout I made for a DT call at Pencil Lines; I found a picture from a long time ago but I just love these faces and couldn't resist. Can't wait to meet you baby #5!

Today's the day or maybe not.

Today is my due date and yet here I sit as miserable as before and no baby. It never even crossed my mind that this one would be late for some reason I had this one arriving early so I am even more dissapointed.
But I did finish this layout - it was inspired by Nerdy Girls challenge for the month of Feb and Paper Tree House's challenge about love. I used the puzzle paper b/c this topic is a puzzle to me and the pink flower paper seemed to fit the inspiration picture so well. The tickets, pink, white, black, flowers/spring were all inspired by the challenge. As was the word Believe that brought me to scrap about what I believe or what I am trying to believe.

Sketchy Thursday layout and 40 weeks

Here's my layout I made based on the Sketchy Thursday sketch. I used my Scrapbook Circle Feb kit for this. I have managed to scrap all of my printed pictures and so now I had to dig deep to find something to scrap! This is a picture of me when I was about 5 at my Great Grandfather's house - the house that the kids love visiting and playing at, just like I used to. And so the name of the layout, Timeless!

Well I am due on Friday and I feel horrible, but unfortunately not the feelings that mean get to the hospital. If nothing happens in the next few days then I am scheduled to be induced on Monday. I'm not loving the idea of an induction, but the dr will only give me a few more days before that would become a must so I figured I would rather Monday. I am really looking forward to meeting this new little one; I've been so occupied with the other kids and life this whole pregnancy that I really hadn't had time to think much about a new Antenucci, so I am glad that I finally am having time for these thoughts. We are still working on a name - my husbands favorite is Alfonso and it makes me gag! So this one might come home with the name #5, but anything is better than that other choice.

If anyone has some pictures you want scrapped just send me the file over e-mail, I am desperate to create and need something.

Still creating

So here are some things I've managed to complete this week. I'm not as driven anymore, but creating just makes me feel better. Hopefully I will still find some time once the baby comes. Today is 39 weeks and I desperately praying this one doesn't want to come a week late as 2 of the others did!!!
Here is another Valentine's project I completed, yes after the fact, but at least I thought of it and it is ready for next year. :)
I
loved this creative imaginations tag: Together a perfect fit - I thought it was a wonderful title for this layout. Marc has just started to get into puzzles and Anthony is more than happy to teach him the ropes! :)
Vinny loves walking around with Marc's guitar playing songs - especially If your happy and you know it clap your hands. He is so cute strolling through the house never really in a hurry just enjoying his music.

Happy Valentines a day late

So a day late I am posting this and I'm actually still working on some of the things I wanted to do for Valentine's - I guess they will be ready for next year, so really I'm early! :) Either way, here is a T that I decorated for Tracy's room using my February Scrapbook Circle kit. And here is Anthony's surprise - a Super Mario for his room using the fruit snack box. I'm hoping to add some bricks to this after I figure out where everyone is getting that wonderful brick stencil. I had another dr's appt today and am still waiting for baby to come into this world. I really hope that this little guy comes soon b/c I am so tired of waiting and feeling yuck. At least it was a beautiful spring day here today which definitely makes things happier.

Training up our children

This is my first layout from my February kit at Scrapbook Circle. This is Marc and our worship leader Ryan at our church Victory Restoration Center. Marc is really tossed up right now whether he wants to play guitar or drums, but either way he wants to play his favorite song "Fresh Air". I'm very thankful that our children love to worship the Lord - that makes a mommy smile!

Still hanging in there

I thought I was tired the last time I posted, hah! Now that we've made it to the weekend I hope baby can stay put for another few days so that we can get to church on Sunday and the Valentine's banquet that night - we'll see. On a good note, Vinny finally is feeling better and slept most of the night last night which was a huge blessing.
Here is a layout I completed for Sketchy Thursday - as soon as I saw the sketch I knew that this was perfect for the pictures of Vinny I've been saving. We had to include hearts, red/turquoise, and a list of why we love someone. I used mostly Sassafrass stuff and then a few other things.
I've also been working on this canvas for awhile now - yes things are taking me much longer nowdays! I've had a bookmark with this prayer on it from Joyce Meyer and it really spoke to me and so I decided to create something larger to remind myself. It's a little bit more artsy then my normal, but I think it works.

Okay, I am tired!

So my activity level is completely dying off now as I head into 38 weeks of my pregnancy. It doesn't help matters that Vinny is really sick right now with a cold. I had another dr's appt today and everything is good so now it is just the waiting game. :( Here is a layout that I completed - or should say finally completed. I had started this and just couldn't seem to finish it until I saw this sketch by sketchy thursdays and it was just the right inspiration to take my old layout apart and get this... Kids are fussing and somehow I have to pull myself together for dinner. I dold Mike today, I am surprised each morning when I wake up still at home. So maybe tomorrow I will be at the hospital with a new little one, or maybe not! Hanging in there.
