I spent most of the weekend updating my blog. Like I said before everything was written on paper it just wasn’t typed. It takes a long time to journal and find pictures to match…but I enjoy it. I was determined to get updated on my blog this weekend because I wanted to send out my Christmas cards this week and put the web address inside for all of our extended family and friends.
On Sunday, Eric and I went to Ian’s baby shower. How cool was it that he was able to be at his own shower. Eric held Ian, the first time he had held a baby since Chase, six years ago. No worries, he’ll get lots of practice pretty soon! Michelle, Russ, and Ian look so cute together as a family. We gave Ian his first train with each of the boxcars representing a different letter in his name…so cute. The shower was a success.
Later that evening, Aunt Erlinda, Aunt Loretta, Amber, and I went to Busch Gardens Christmas Town. We were actually supposed to go to Williamsburg all weekend, go to the parade, spend the night, go to Busch Gardens, and shop; but it got canceled because of the weather. Christmas Town was really pretty.
We have started something new this week. As many of you know I have just finished a class in American Sign Language. I had told Eric as I was taking the class that he had better learn some of the signs so that he could communicate effectively with the baby. So…I decided that I would teach Eric “A Sign A Week!” The sign of the week was "milk." Stay posted as to the new signs that Eric learns along the way.
On Wednesday night Baby Thames and I went to “Bunco” at Aunt Loretta’s. Usually I do not play the game I just go over and visit with everyone that is playing. As I was sitting on the couch, working on school work (as usual) Amber was surprised that she could finally notice my belly rounding out. “You finally look pregnant sitting there,” she said. I’ve been noticing my belly rounding out for a while!
On Thursday I had a doctor visit with my Breast Cancer Specialist, Dr. Carman. I have been getting regular mammograms for years since my mother died so young with breast cancer. Anyway, Dr. Carman was very excited about my news and gave me strict doctor’s orders not to wait very long to have a second one. I told her not to worry that Eric and I both didn’t want to wait real long before having a second child anyway. She was happy to hear that since she did so pleasantly remind me that I am not getting any younger! I think being 30 and having our first child is a perfect age. I also think it’s neat that our child will be born on a decade year. I was born in 1980 and it’s so easy to calculate back how old I was in certain years. My baby will have the benefit of that easy calculation as well…a 2010 baby!
