Life and times of Monica, Eric, Harry & Franklin

Quiet time...

Eric and I spent a few days in Cape May - our "babymoon"! We stayed at Rhythm of the Sea Inn, which is the same place that we stayed last year for our anniversary. We took alot of naps, and read, and ate. That is about it!

On Wednesday night, at Lucky Bones restaurant, there was a musician playing guitar and singing. The first song in his set was "Bad Leroy Brown"! We thought that was a great coincidence!

I got many well wishes from the other guests at the inn, and got a great gift and words of wisdom from a man at the art fair that was being held on the promenade this weekend.

He was am older asian man (chinese?), a paper-cut artist. He saw my belly and guessed that I was having a boy and I had about a month left. He said that his brother is a baby doctor and that's how he knows alot about babies.

He started to cut away at this folded piece of paper, making a small version of me.
I had a hard time understanding exactly what he was saying, but he was talking about how some babies come out too slow or too fast. He said, "If you go like this (and he tensed up) baby won't come out. If you open up, and open up your legs, baby will shoot out!" Then he showed me what he was cutting out.

It was a version of me, like I said, in profile - me to a T, down to the sunglasses I was wearing. It looked like I was lying down with my legs bent, like I was giving birth. The legs opened up only if you held them open (like he suggested for birthing!) and when you did, a little baby head popped out! Of course, Eric walked away to get a drink and I was looking around at some other people around me wondering, am I seeing this correctly??

    That leaves me speechless. Seriously. I do not know what to say.
