Tomorrow is the day!

After a stressful day we get to go have a baby tomorrow:) the best part the birthday is going to fall on the anniversary of when me and my husband started dating 5-15-07 and our next child will be born 5-15-13:) I am so happy it falls on that day:) 

I do have concerns about the pre-eclampsia and being induced:/ I worry that there will be complications. With my fist child I was as cool as a cucumber ready to do it, this one I am incredibly nervous. I can't understand this. 

I guess I need to focus on the surprise we are going to receive and stop worrying so much!

.      Last belly pic :) <3 com'on baby Stopczy hurry up and meet us! 

Who is Angie today?...

Well...I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that I have lost my Identity.

Angie M Giglio used to be...the life of the party, care free, artistic, messy, irresponsible-ish, sometimes reckless, rambunctious, wild, tough, emotionally hardened, a student, confidant and fearless.

Angela M Stopczy is now... Guiliana's mom, Rich's wife, a personal chef to a toddler, a butt wiper, sleep deprived, emotional, sensitive, irritable at times, happy, loved, appreciative, and humble.

I may miss the old Angie at times but I like Angela M Stopczy, and now I see the comparison in print I like who I am today much more than what I used to be!

Funny thing is I had a lot more stuff when I was single but I am happier now! Who would have thought?

The ENd and the BEginnING

The title of this post is referring to the end my old life and the beginning of my new life.

The Start of the End...

6 years ago I met an amazing man.

I knew I was going to marry him in the future with in the

First week of our relationship.

Our life together has been less than easy

but loving him came naturally.

Our time together has always been amazing and exciting as it should be when you with your bestfriend.

We went through a lot of trials and tribulations but our love for each other concurred. As time passed we grew together and continued living for each other. 

3years later and 2 years earlier than we planned we find out we are going to be parents.

our plan was for me to get my BA in Phsyc, to get married and start a family but to our surprise we took a back road;) 

This photo was taking at Niagara Falls one month before my life as i knew was forever different.

We thought we knew what we were in for. LOL but not only were we newlyweds and having a child, we would be loosing a job and a house, Moving in with family and starting a new business venture in the next two months of this time.

                   These photos were taken within 5 day of each other

So basically we lost everything and started from scratch. 

Anyone who has started a business knows how encompassing it is, along with living in another families house and first year of marriage and first year at parenthood... Needless to say I think we took our already complex situation and strapped a rocket to it and lit a match.  

With very little income we were looking at a very ugly situation. But because my husband is amazing we pulled through. 

our living situation was anything but easy! we were very fortunate to have family take us in and gave us the opportunity to start making money before chipping in but patients were running low on everyone, whats to expect when you have a family of 3 move in with a family of 5.

By 9 months of living with family members things could no longer coexist we made a move to a remote location ( no where remotely close to our business) with the rents. 

With things going well with business we decided that we wanted our daughter to have a sibling to grow up with, so in the time of all this craziness I am pregnant with baby # 2 :) everyone thinks were crazy to bring another child in the mess we are cleaning up and yes I am not denying that it would be much easier if it were just Guiliana, but I didn't do this for myself. I wanted Gugu to have a loving relationship with a sibling to match her families loving relationship. When it comes to starting a family you're not doing it for your self you're doing it for the good of your family.

Going in to the second year of marriage we are finally in our own home again and we almost have another bundle to bring home:0 and with business booming and on the track of success... we are not quite on easy street but were getting there every day. 

The reason for this blog is to keep my sanity:) and to hopefully track the success story of my life in the making and a outlet for my stress and ideas and inspirations.
