The anticipation and excitement of having a Gia-to be

I can finally say I am enjoying being pregnant.

The morning sickness has slowed its roll thank god. I attempted a registry. And now that I know Baby B is a little Gia, not a hungry vampiric demon spawn draining the life from me, the bonding process has had a jump start.

She moves more when I eat In & Out grill cheese, makes me dream of Harrison Ford, and bounces along to Katy Perry & Aerosmith.

As cheesy and cliché as it sounds, I find myself daydreaming of what she will look like and what kind of mini person she will one day become. What traits of mine will she have, how I hope she has Jason’s nose, and what exactly does half me and half jay make? Mini -Us is making me anxious for her arrival!

Gianna is about the size of a mango this week.  I have 21 weeks left of being pregnant.

That went by really, really fast.

Goth in July

I love Halloween, Fall, goth, Harvest time etc. etc.  I know, know its only July but these are to DIE for.

 Things I’m craving for now:

(All can be found at Pottery Barn)

Just one more minute sleep…. & fangirlyness

Pregnancy gives you so much happiness.

And it also takes away your sleep.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m tired, exhausted most of the time, I cannot think of a time where I was this tired EVER. And yet, I just cannot find my sleep.  I had no idea insomnia was part of the pregnancy plan.  And I am only 18 weeks along! Ugh I don’t even want to think of what it will be like at 30 weeks or 37 weeks, when I’m a slow moving round-y plane like person.

My point of today’s post:  I AM REALLY TIRED. (End rant)

And in other more important news…TRUE BLOOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD (except for Tara. Go die already!). 

I have found an AWESOME blog that recaps the previous episodes in all its hawt gloriousness.

 Yay go me, my future daughter will be so proud.

This was the best part of said blog:

 “In a moment of frustration Pam accidentally spills the beans on Eric’s amnesia and tells Bill that he’s been having a slumber party with Sookie, which naturally sends Bill running out the door. I know Bill is still in love with Sookie, obviously, but you can’t go around pounding the panties of every slag in Bon Temps and then cry because your ex-girlfriend is probably boning your sworn enemy.”

Next week: Bill and Eric will most likely fight and will hopefully do so without shirts!
I may need an intervention soon.


 It seems I am addicted with European blonde haired vampires with sexy accents & talk in languages I don’t understand.

It's a sweet baby girl.

When Jason and I decided to start a family, I went crazy. Anyone who knows me knows what I mean by that.

Baby Blogs-I found them. Baby Names-I studied them. Ovulation Apps-I bought them.  

I wanted to be completely prepared for pregnancy & baby life.  I also wanted to be a chic maternity momma that would make my future babies and husband proud. And From the moment I found out Jason and I would become parents, I instantly assumed I was having a boy.

But I always had this little voice in the back of my head that said “I’m a girl mom”. 

And one day I came across a blog that featured a gender reveal party and I was completely smitten. I knew that this was something I really wanted to do. In fact, I felt I NEEDED to do it! I love parties, I love to throw parties and I thought this would be the best way to tell everyone what we were having. Plus I have the Best friends (See post two) and an amazing family, that all stand behind me & support me unconditionally, and in a way this would be celebrating them too. (At least in my weird mind I would be)

So on April 20, 2011, the day the EPT read YES! The party planning began.

It would be a long 14 weeks.

On the 5^th of July we found out Baby Burns was a SHE.

  And for the next 2 weeks, I had to keep my mouth shut. This was really hard for me. And by “Really Hard”, I mean next to impossible. But For the sake of the party I did it.

  July 23^rd:  we had our PINK vs. BLUE tailgating Gender Reveal Bash! We had Jason's father cut the cake, to reveal the gender color. The moment he pulled out the knife with pretty pink frosting, the crowd went wild! It was a special moment I don’t think I could ever forget. And I got to share it with the people I adore most in the world.

Jason & I were having a sweet baby girl.

Gianna "Gia" Kathleen Burns already has our heart.

I could not be more proud of her and she isnt even here yet.

What's Inside? Pink or Blue?

It's a girl!!

Every girl has at least one person they can count on. I have 5.

                                                          The other loves of my life.

Crystal. My best friend.

She knows me better than I know myself, Calls me on my crap, and can read my mind with one look or eye roll.  Partner in crime, sister from another mother, someone I could not live without.

Katie. My sister.

Three words: Laugh a second. Easy-going and Hello Kitty loving, I adore her. Pretty inside & out, I get a sister who also moonlights as a best friend.

Melissa B. My fashion icon.

Move over Anna Wintour, Melissa can give you a run for your money in fashion flare and being fabulous. Inspirational on many different levels, a girl’s very own Charlotte York.

Melissa W. My fangirl sidekick.

Willow to my Buffy. Robin to my Batman.  Blessed to have someone who loves fandom-ness as much as I do, Melis is someone I can be geeky with everyday of the week. Forever positive about life (No matter what is thrown her way).

Julie. My Goth pea in a pod.

Skulls, black, dark& twisty, vintage pin-up, Halloween, horror, leather & lace: these are a few of our favorite things.  So much alike it’s SCaARRRRRyyyyy, She is a hardworking  girl who will say it like it is, and will watch your back like a hawk.

More than friends, these girls hold the key to my heart and my faith in humanity.  Good Alone, better together.

Lucky to have them I am, my sweet CM.

Baby Burns gets many Aunties, but these girls serve as a private mafia just for he or she.

This is me.

 

I'm Danielle, wife to the EVER macho man Jason. We Love Life, almost as much as we love each other. I'm geeky fan girl who loves chic fashion, sweet treats, goth and JSB. Jason's A True American Cowboy (fan) who loves BBQ's, cold beer and me, me, me. We live happily ever after with her little dog Spike and black cat-astic Manolo Blahnik. 5 years ago we said I do. In December 2011 we will welcome our first baby, and could not be more happy.

 

 So my ever-dramatic self thought wrtitng a blog would be an ever-clever way to let our future baby know what he/or she's momma is like. And maybe entertain others a long the way. What? Doesn't everyone start a blog when pregnant?

 

 I adore to write anyway.

                                      This is us.
