Nursery Progress

Today is Mommy's birthday party. Mommy and Daddy are headed to the park with friends to celebrate. Fun!

The nursery is not finished but we've made some progress.
Here's what we started with:
A box and a room that needed to be painted. Luckily, Grandpa Steve is a painter! So, he came over and painted Baby Corso's room. Thanks, Grandpa Steve!After Grandpa Steve finished painting, Daddy put the crib together. The room was finally starting to shape up.
Since then, we've added a rug, a dresser, and, thanks to friends and family, a ton of gifts!

If you're paying attention (and yes, there will be a quiz!), you'll notice that we're still missing a mattress and our bedding, as well as a couple other things. This is because Daddy refuses to let Mommy buy anything until after the shower. Of course, this is the smart thing to do but asking a pregnant woman to wait to finish her nursery is just cruel and unusual punishment.

The shower is in two weeks, and the nursery will be finished within hours if it's up to Mommy. Probably more like days, though. We'll be sure to update with pictures of the room once it's baby ready!

Welcome to Our Blog!

Welcome to the Corso family blog and our first official post. We hope this will be a place for family and friends to keep updated on all the exciting news of Baby Corso (and Mom and Dad, too.)

Let's get everyone up to speed. We are officially 30 weeks today. Only 10 more weeks before our lives are forever changed and we get to meet our sweet, sweet baby. As of now, our official due date is May 29th. If he waits a day and comes on May 30th, he will share a birthday with his Great Grandma Corso!

Most everyone knows by now that we are having a little boy. If you didn't, surprise, it's a boy! While we have a list of names that we like, we have decided that we will wait until we see his precious little face to pick the perfect one. His middle name will be Christopher, after his father, which is a Corso family tradition.

Here's an ultrasound picture from his 20 week scan.


Everything is progressing beautifully and we've been very lucky to have a healthy and happy pregnancy. We can't wait until he's here and we can share photos and video of our beautiful little family.

We love and miss you all!
