My Life as a Mama with CF

Hi all! So I have some great pictures on the camera to share with you, but first I'd like to share the many awesome photos that Adam has taken with his phone! Enjoy! Having fun with Dad... and Mom! The nurse convinced us to take his picture like this...it makes me laugh, but I suppose it's pretty cute too! This is when he was probably about 2 days old. This is when Giovanni was hospitalized at Doernbecher Children's hospital, just around 2 weeks old. Giovanni's Baptism! Here we are with his God-Parents, Joan and Colm, and their new baby girl! St. Valentines Day, February 14, 2015! Giovanni's very first bath of all time! Just a sponge bath, but he really seemed to like it! Giovanni used a bili blanket to help with his Jaundice, which is why it looks like he's glowing.  Our little man! He was wearing a pre-mie outfit in this picture!

Here are some of our most recent pictures! Here's Alida having some fun playing dressup with a towel on her head :) Giovanni with Adam. This kid has some serious shoulder rolls! Sleeping in the swing. Giovanni on his first Easter! It's a little blurry, but I caught him smiling! Here he is with a less blurry face :) Adam and Alida on Easter Sunday! I know, we need a complete family photo....we have one of me with Giovanni that we took while Alida was napping ( to be posted soon!)...we'll get the hang of this family photo thing one of these days! Alida playing with Grandma's scarf, who knew it would make such a great full body robe! Giovanni in the swing :) Tummy time! Still working on that neck strength... Alida having fun wearing the many bows Aunt T sent her! Smile! Alida leaned on my arm just as i was taking the picture which is why it's a bit blurry, but it's still a great smile! Trying to talk :) ...

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last updated the blog for you. Here are some pictures of the last 2 months with our newest edition, Giovanni Maximilian Librande! :) This is shortly after coming home from the hospital! Giovanni was our little oompa loompa! Alida, Adam, and Giovanni! Alida wasn't so sure about holding her brother, so we tried our best, but she never really got her arms around him. Our little man! Born at 6 lbs 11 oz and 18 in Alida's first real ponytail! Having fun outside with dad! Posing for the camera!  Alida LOVES Giovanni's baby swing! She decided to rock her baby in it too. Giovanni and Grandma He's getting big! Brother and Sister! Givoanni's first official full tub bath! Scrub a dub dub! Look at those eyes! Alida's first nail painting! She enjoyed it! :) Having fun with Elmo and her bucket, which she calls "buckee" Giovanni...
