Our Baby Announcement
I married Charles on March 16, 2002.  We had a huge Italian wedding and went on a one week honey-moon to the Dominican-Republic.  It was a wonderful experience.  Charles and I welcomed our first child, Emma, into the world on April 19, 2004.  We are expecting our second child in December 2006.  We just found out that I was pregnant on May 4 and had an ultrasound on May 17.  The technician estimated the baby's age at 10 weeks.  What a miraculous surprise!  Now, I'm 13 weeks and the first trimester is officially over!  Woo Hoo!  The nausea and sensitivity to food is finally subsiding!
I don't have much time for hobbies and interests.  I breastfed Emma until she was 23 months old.  She got seriously ill when she was 5 months old.  She aquired auto-immune neutropenia.  She has no white blood cells to fight off infection.  She was receiving injections every two days for almost a year.  Her blood counts were really high lately so on May 25 the specialist from Toronto Sick Kids Hospital said to take Emma off the medicine and see what happens.  So with all this happening I'm trying to finish my Early Childhood Education program.  I am almost done!  I have one more placement to complete in Septemter!
My parents are Christina and Fiorenzo.  I am their eldest child.  My siblings are Liane (fiance Frank), Laura (husband Rick) and Brian (girlfriend Mary Ellen).  My only living grandparent is Nonna Vittoria.  My Nonno Giuseppe passed away April 1998.  My Grandma Elsie passed away April 2003.  My friends are Cindy (husband Chris), Melissa, Georgina (husband Attila, daughter Lela), Ania (husband Eric), Sarah (husband Adam, daughter Zoe) and all my friends at school!

Charles' parents are Raymonde and Robert.  His older siblings are Jean-Roger (wife Johanne, identical twin daughters Janel and Josee), and Lise.  His younger brother, Pierre (girlfriend Roxanne).  His maternal grandparents are Aurore and Hermas (divorced) and his paternal grandparents, Gabrielle and Champlain, have passed away.  His friends are Brian (wife Stelly), Don, and all the S.M.A.C. members and he'll be making new friends at his new job!
