It was so great to be able to see everyone last weekend! Kate did a fabulous job hosting a baby shower for us, and we are so grateful for everything. We came home with a ton of books, clothes and a bunch of other baby gear. Who knew babies needed so much "stuff"?! Unfortunately, we both brought back colds (thanks Hannah!). Boo. It seems we can never make a trip to Buffalo without getting sick! I also did not take ANY pictures while I was home! If anyone took any, please send them to me at molliemcjones@gmail.com. I really wanted to be better about taking pictures, and I totally failed during this trip.
We were also horrified to wake up Saturday morning (the morning of the shower) to a spring snow! We scheduled this trip as late as possible to avoid the stuff. Luckily, it didn't stick around.This was our first winter without having to deal with any snow whatsoever, and I have to say - it was nice. We are fully climatized to the weather in Texas, and cringe at the very thought of having to deal with an entire Buffalo winter.
I am now 31 weeks! Which means we have roughly 9 more weeks until our little man makes his big appearance. We attended our first childbirth class this past Thursday, and it scared the crap out of us! (Well, me I guess). Watching the women on the video give birth was probably not something I needed to see. And just listening to the nurse TALK about the epidural made me a little queasy, so I'm a little worried how I'm going to handle this. We have another class this Thursday (hopefully not as graphic), and we're in the home stretch. It's hard to believe how fast time is just flying by!
We spent Easter today at our friend Kristen and Jeremy's house for a late lunch/early dinner. Kristen made a delicious, enormous Polish feast for all of us. This was our second year of having Easter at their house and it was even better then last years! She made a ton of food, and managed to make it look like it was no big deal, and with a 4 month old, too!
In other exciting news - we took the plunge and bought our soccer mom car today. (It was quite a day!). We went out for breakfast and decided to "look" at cars. I knew, as always, we wouldn't be able to just look. But it was a great deal, so we couldn't pass it up, not that the salesman would have let us walk out of there without it anyways! Oh well, it was time. We've had just the one car since November, and with the little guy coming soon, it was time for the "mom" car anyways.
Anyways, that's all I have to report for now - exciting, I know!
