So, we have been megabusy! This has been the first weekend I've been home in about a month. Since my last entry we had a fantastic trip to visit Justin and Mary in Chicago. Their new place was beautiful and we had a ton of fun with them! While we were in Chicago it was decided that I would fly out to Albuquerque to be some extra help for Heather and Jeremy as they prepared for baby Millie's arrival. We got back from our weekend with Justin and Mary Sunday night, did a load of laundry & packed again, worked a half day, THEN hopped a plane to ABQ by noon the next day! Crazy and wonderful. I spent nearly a week playing with Annie, while H & J focused on the business of bringing happy, healthy baby Millie into the world. Everything went perfectly, and Heather was the picture of strength. It was a thrill to meet Millie, and spend time with people I love! I even kept up with paperwork, emails, and phone calls while I was out there, so I barely skipped a beat with work. Phew! When I returned from my trip out West, I discovered that Damian has been hard at work at home. A few weeks ago, we began painting our master bedroom suite. Well, Damian was painting, I did prep work because of the baby. Anyway, he had made some huge strides while I was away! What a guy! It has been a huge job because we decided to paint all of the trim, and all of the doors. Damian also switched out all of the outlets and light switches to help update the look of the room. Last weekend we headed up to N. Ridgeville to see the gang up there and meet new baby Gabi (yes, two new nieces in 3 days- pretty wonderful)! We then swung by my Grandma's house to celebrate my Mom's birthday. I might have eaten my body weight in Grandma's homemade chocolate cake frosting- it is the stuff dreams are made of! This weekend we stuck around C-bus. Friday night, Damian and I had a dinner date, and Saturday we continued work on our bedroom. Saturday morning was very special because it was the first time Damian was able to feel our baby kick! Today, Damian has been working like a fiend to get our room done, and I took a break from the work in the middle of the day to see a movie with my Mom. Busy, busy, busy! This Tuesday we have a BIG ultrasound- we find out the baby's gender! I have a strong suspicion about what we're having, but realistically I know that I am not basing my belief on any facts whatsoever. We shall see on the ultrasound- stay tuned!
