Life and times of Monica, Eric, Harry & Franklin

When it rains, it pours!

We had baby shower number two last week on a perfect "beginning of summer" day at my Aunt Denise's house. What another perfect day, and another perfect shower! I feel so lucky to have an amazing family on both sides :) Everyone worked so hard (especially my aunt, mom, cousin Jean and sister Maria) to make the day special. I also need to thank my nieces and cousin's children for helping me out with all the gift unwrapping!

Check out the pics!

Tables were set outside under a tree, and we all sat in the shade to eat and open gifts. My cousin made a photo poster of pics of Eric and I from our younger and more good looking years. My mom and sister got an adorable cake with blue icing and a cute teddy bear. Games were played and most of all I got to see the whole family and my friends in one setting. I was happy that my grandmother and great aunt could be with us as well.

My mother and father in law drove out from Ohio to spend the weekend! We were so glad to see them one last time before it gets a little crowded in the Brown house!

The baby's room is now fully stocked and bit more organized than before. I started to actually put things away, and am actively doing some laundry to get things ready. Eric risked life and limb to install the valances, and we are anxiously awaiting for the glider to arrive so we can go pick it up! All of this for a baby that will not be in that room very often.

Speaking of baby - he is moving all the time now, and making it hard to be comfy to sleep at night. Lately I have been waking up at about 3-4 am for a potty break and I have not been sleeping much past 5 am which I guess is a good thing.

Yesterday was July 4th and I spent the day with my mom and nieces downtown. We took in the parade, and then I met Eric for my "potential" last Phillies game for a while. At the end of the day I was pooped, and promptly passed out at about 10pm. I awoke at 4 and didn't/couldn't fall back asleep until 530 am on the sofa. I think this will be the state of affairs for the next month or so.

Good news is that this week Eric and I will be down in Cape May for our last vacation alone! We are spending it at the B and B we went to last year for our anniversary, the Rhythm of the Sea Inn. This week also marks the start of our last round of baby-related classes. Tomorrow night we have a breastfeeding class, then Tuesday night is the first of four birth prep classes at the Birth Center!

I also start my once a week midwife visits/checkups this week! One more month to go, people!
