Anticipation

Apparently 16 weeks have gone by since my last post. Those 16 weeks have not flown by, and I certainly have an excuse for my silence...

Starting from March, I was in bed or on the couch, till around the beginning of June. Not because I suddenly became lazy, but because I was nauseous. No I did not have a three month long fling with the flu, but I was actually doing something that yes, felt awful, but also was a wish come true. Not the throwing up, but knowing I was going to be a Mamma for a second time. Baby Ceccarello number two will be joining our family in November! 

 So much has been going on during the last time I posted, and it would literally take me a week to write it all, and I don't want to bore you to death. So, get ready for pictures being thrown at you!

Here is a glimpse of what has been going on... This is the dolce vita, so I have not documented every agonising detail.

Oh and we (Luca and I) like every summer are now in Baltimore at my parents house while Marco is working over seas and at sea. 

Posts will be more frequent:) Enjoy
