Baby Giti is 15 weeks!

Time flies by so fast--we can't believe that baby giti is almost 4 months old! Next week we go to the doctor and get to find out what baby giti is...we are very excited for this visit! So far, I haven't popped yet--I've widened and my hips are stretching because they hurt and are very itchy. On other news, we found out that I'm super anemic, so that's been why I have been so overly weak and sleepy...so I've started B12 shots and iron and hopefully I'll start feeling better!

Baby Giti goes to Vegas & a Coldplay concert




This weekend, we went up to Vegas to visit Ali's family. On a last minute whim, we decided to get tickets from Craigslist for a Coldplay concert. Eventhough our seats were pretty far from the stage, halfway through the concert, the band came all the way up to our seat and did 2 acoustic numbers right in front of us--I mean right in front! Baby Giti not only got to go to his first concert, but got to be within 1 feet of his mommy's favorite band! It was amazing! We're sure he was dancing in mommy's tummy the whole time.
After the concert, we went out to dinner with Uncle Steve & Gail and had an incredible Italian dinner--only in Vegas can you have a gourmet Italian dinner at midnight! Baby Giti got to eat yummy food like Caprese, fig & prosciutto, risotto with lobster, white chocolate gelato, crochette, and an amazing ciocolato cake. Now mommy has to get back in the gym on monday morning!


The photos I post look like I photoshoped my head in them or are using a major zoom, but thats really where they were...we literally were right in front of them--in a concert with 17,000 people what are the odds! Baby Giti is our lucky charm!

Craving Persian Food!


So I haven't had any bizarre cravings yet, but I've been craving homemade Persian food like crazy! Luckily while Ali & my dad are fishing in Alaska, I've been staying at my dad's house in Laguna, babysitting Wolfy, Fuzzy, and Teddy, and enjoying homemade food from Nadereh, Saide and my Khlaeh Simin. Khaleh Simin spent all Monday cooking and packaging food in tupperware so Ali and I have a weeks worth of meals to eat! I can't wait until my nausea gets better and I can start cooking again!


As for my belly, it hasn't popped yet. I found this great cartoon that explains what I feel like now =)

We're having a baby!!!!!!!!!





Surprise! We are having a baby! As of today I am officially 12 weeks pregnant and our due date is January 15th! We have kept our secret for the last 3 months and now we are so excited to share the news with our family and friends. Today--we got to see Baby Giti on the ultrasound and he had 10 fingers and toes and a belly and a face and everything--eventhough he is only 2 inches long, he looks like a real baby! As far as the sex--I decided to call him a he becuase so far all the family members we have told say their gut feeling is that he is a boy! But who knows! The nurse that gave us an ultrasound said baby's heart beat was 167 which is really fast--which according to old wive's tales means its a girl...We are so happy to share our news and feel free to check in--I'll be updating the blog regularly to keep everyone updated. We'll be posting belly photos--once I have the guts to let Ali actually take photos of my bloated belly. =)

Birthday Wish!!


Today was my 29th bday and Ali took me out to a romantic dinner and I made a wish that baby will be healthy and happy! Tomorrow we get to see him on the ultrasound--so ecstatic! This is the best birthday ever...although I didn't get to have a glass of bday wine...oh well!
