Meet Gianni Marc Sanelli

When I find more time, i'll tell you the crazy story of how it all went down, but because I know that this is what you really want, here are some pictures of the little guy!

These were all taken at the hospital courtesy of the cell phone, minus one which was when we were coming home. More pics to come.

Meet Gianni Marc Sanelli. Born Wednesday January 13th, 2010 at 10:51 p.m.

7 lbs, 1 oz and 20 inches long.

We are so excited that he is here and that he is completely healthy.

We could not have asked for a more perfect baby, we are so in love :)

Gianni in his car seat coming home from the hospital, sleeping of course.

Minutes after delivery, don't mind me in the picture, I just put it up because Domenic looks like such a proud daddy :)

Our first attempt to dress the little guy, and I mean LITTLE. This onesie is supposed to fit babies up to 7 lbs, and it was huge on him. Don't worry, he is gaining weight-his cheeks are getting so chubby.

Early Surprise

Our little boy came early!!!

He was 7 lbs 1 0z and 20 inches long

He was born Wednesday at 10 :51 p.m.

We are so excited to he him here, although he is about 2 weeks early, didn't see that one coming!

More details and pictures to come!

Back to the real world

So we FINALLY got internet! YAY! Actually just finished setting it up so expect a lot of updates.

First and foremost, we are in Boise right now, Domenic is interning for KPMG ( one of the big 4 accounting firms) and can I just say I LOVE it here? We are finally back in the city where there is traffic, shopping malls, good restaurants, etc. I never know how much I missed the city until we lived in Rexburg for a while.

No, I haven't had the babe yet, but we are getting really close...17 days to be exact. We already have his room set up, and Dom makes fun of me because i'm in "Nesting" mode, no big just making a nest for my baby. Haha in case you are wondering what nesting mode is, I have basically been washing, and folding all of Gianni's clothes, I set up, and decorated his room, and I can barely help myself from putting everything away, and redoing it over and over again. I'll post pictures of his room soon.

I got a phone FINALLY!!! And I desperately need phone numbers b/c I don't have my old phone any more so if you would be so kind, leave a comment at the end of the post with your name and #, and I'll text you my new #.

I'll keep you all updated, and i'm sorry about the boring long posts w/o pictures but I'll do a post with a ton of pictures to make up for it, promise.

Forever, I know...

It has been FOREVER since I posted anything (thanks to our lack of internet mostly). Sorry :(

Here are a few updates, when I get a chance I'll try to post pictures it just gets embarrassing when you are uploading pictures from your camera on the school computers if you know what I mean.

The Crazy Life:
We have been super super busy packing everything up for our move to Boise in 3 days. Everyday we make at least one load of the things we aren't bringing with us to our storage unit in rexburg. P.s. did I mention that we are only moving one car load of stuff with us to Boise?

We were lucky enough to have gotten Dom's black truck but on the 10th, a girl ran into me on my way to an appointment so now we don't have our white kia, well we have it but it is in no way driveable-pretty sure it's totalled but we have to have an adjustor come out and decide the damage (don't worry, im fine, the baby's fine, our car is just out of commission for now).

I am now only about a month away from having our little baby boy Gianni (oh yeah, that's the name we decided on by the way - Gianni is the italian version of Johnny which we liked, plus it is a tribute to my Dad's name which is John. And his middle name is going to be Mark- another tribute but to Dom's dad instead).

CONGRATULATIONS RYAN AND JENNIE! For those of you that don't know, my brother ryan and his wife jennie just had an adorable little girl (okay well not just but about a week and a half ago). She has the cutest name - Emma Rae, isn't that adorable?

Domenic has 1-count it ONE final left, and he is taking it today!!! YAAAAY!!!

Christmas is in ONE WEEK, can you believe it??

Last night the power went out for 28,700 people from: Rexburg, Rigby, Iona, Teton, St. Anthony, and the Rocky Mountain Power area around Idaho Falls- it was completely dark. Apparently there were two explosions that happened in near by cities that caused the outage. A gas tank blew in Mud Lake and a broken insulator and damaged equipment, on a electric transmission line between Rigby and Rexburg. Kind of crazy- good thing I didn't pack all of my candles :)

One Year and growing strong, and big :)

Well it's official, today is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Yay!!! 

It's crazy to think that it was a whole year ago that we got married! So much has happened since then, but time serisously flew by. 

Right now I'm sitting in our GORGEOUS Marriott room in Kua'i (pictures to come, don't worry) waiting for brunch to settle so I thought I might as well make myself useful and wish ourselves a happy anniversary haha, just kidding but it's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd better.

HUGE thanks to Mom and Dad Sanelli for putting this trip together for us and sending us, we couldn't have asked for anything better. We love it here, anybody want to move here with us??

Because I know you are dying to know, here are a few updates...

In case you don't know, I am about 4 months (17 1/2 weeks) prego (thats where the "growing strong, and BIG" part of the title came from) and we couldn't be more excited! We won't find out what we are having until this September 11th but so far we already have our names picked out, kinda. 

Girl Name:

Okay, this is a for sure, if we have a girl this is THE name we will name her, no doubt...

McKenna Nicole Sanelli 

I've loved the name McKenna and have known I would name one of my girls that name ever since high school, and Dom loves it too, so now all we need is to have a girl so that we can name her it!

Boy Name:

This one is a little unsure as of now, Domenic really wanted to name our first boy an italian name, but we can't really are on one because he likes the really italian sounding names like domiano or giuliano but I'm afraid the kid will get made fun of so we are struggling with this one.

So far we have agreed on Nicolas Domenic Sanelli, but Dom has a cousin named nick on his Sanelli side, so we don't know. 

I know a lot of people hesitate telling people what they are going to name their kids, BUT I really want to know what you think or if you have any ideas. Any suggestions?? Let us know!

More updates to come, in a week or so when we get home :)

The best part was that we got to go see 17 Again after dinner! It was so funny, and no I didn't just go to see it b/c it had Zach Effron in it, although that was a plus. Even Dom liked it, and he is SUPER picky about movies.
