Cassy Fiano

Hi everyone! My name is Cassy Fiano. I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. My husband and I met when we were twelve, at a birthday party where he fell on the pool deck and broke one of his front teeth. I worked in several different fields until I got married. My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a family and that when we did, I would be a stay-at-home mommy. Last July, we found out I was pregnant, and on the day of my first doctor’s appointment, he deployed to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, during my pregnancy, I ended up with preeclampsia. Luckily, my husband returned the morning of my scheduled induction, so the day he came home from Afghanistan was the day we went to the hospital. 16 hours and a c-section later, we had our beautiful little boy, Benjamin. Being a parent has changed my life. I’ve learned to be more patient; that it’s possible to operate on two hours of sleep, and I’ve also learned that I never really knew what stress was until I experienced a baby crying inconsolably for four hours straight. I’ve learned that looking at my son sleeping in my arms can move me to tears, that I never really loved anyone the way I love my him, and that all of the hard times can be completely wiped away with one little smile. The last four months have been an incredible journey, and I can’t wait to share the rest of it with you!

My name is Sarah and I am excited to be here on CuddleBugs! My husband and I are from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yet we met while attending the University of South Carolina. It was a long way to go to meet when we grew up about fifteen minutes from one another. I played volleyball for the university and upon graduation moved to Austria to play professionally. After a year of professional volleyball in Europe, I came home to plan my wedding. We married in the fall of 2007 and a week after moved to Jacksonville and have been here ever since. I have a 15 month old son, Michael, and one on the way. I am most excited for Michael to have a sibling and to see the similarities and differences between them. It always amazes me to see siblings who look so much alike but are completely opposite in every other regard, and vice versa. Before the news of our baby, we added a new member to our family, Peaches our Pomeranian. Until Baby Boyle arrives, Peaches will serve as a great play buddy for Michael. My husband and I want a big family so news of another one on the way was warmly welcomed. I am excited to compare my pregnancies and share my experiences with you.

Goodbye Cuddlebugs!

“How many ‘aunts’ do you have?” That’s the question I ask Charlie when he talks about his extended family and his parents’ close friends. Everyone seems to be an aunt or uncle and …

She’s happy, just not hungry…

Maeve has a tooth! It broke the skin a couple weeks ago and is slowly making its way out. I think its mate, the other bottom-front tooth, is right under the skin and will soon make a debut appearance as well. …
