Just wanting to write down all that we did before Baby Reid came...or comes, considering he/she still isn't here yet!
Now to test my brain and see if I can go back far enough to remember everything...
Last Tuesday I met Jen M for a pedicure. Shan decided she loved hers so much before Emmanuelle came that she would give me one - so i passed it along to the mom of 1 year old triplets! it was my first pedicure and something i could totally get addicted to! we had a great morning.
Thursday, after our ultrasound app't, we went to visit Grandma Mastrangelo. She's recently moved into a new home and seems to really love it. When we asked her advice on baby things, she just kept saying - 'as long as the baby is healthy, that's what matters. We're not going to give it back!' So blessed to have a grandma close by who gets to be a great-grandma someday soon! Also, a friend of grandma's came by her room and wanted to visit with all of us. She had an interesting story about names - how back in her day someone suggested she call her little girl Isabelle and she grimaced and said - 'i would NEVER name my child a name like that! she will be named Linda!'. I had to laugh! Cause nowadays Isabelle/a is one of the top 10 names for girls and i'd be surprised if Linda is on the top 100! Oh how generations change, eh?!
Craig had the weekend off so we went to the Mooney's on Friday evening...and stayed till the wee hours of the morning...playing poker! : ) not fair for us to do to parents of 4 kids who need their sleep! guess we'll find out what it's like to parent on very little sleep soon enough.
Sunday was a good day too. After church we went for lunch with the Banduras and Harm. Little Emmanuelle is so sweet and fun to be around!
Then headed over to mom and dad's for an afternoon of lounging.
Then to the McMillans to hear about missions in Brazil.
Monday my fun friend Andrea picked me up and we went to Red Lobster for lunch. yummy! and great conversation.
Monday evening Rachel Husband finally got to come by. She'd been taken out for 10 days with that virus that's talked about constantly on the news these days. It was so great to see her.
Tuesday mom came over with homemade spaghetti sauce and we made gnoccoli or 'knuckes' as Grandpa Mastrangelo used to call them. She also did my dishes and got all the last minute Baby Reid things ready to go! It's so great to be in the same city as my parents having their 3rd grandchild...now if only he/she would make an appearance!
Lots of fun-filled days with friends. Sure does help pass the time waiting for baby when you're surrounded by good friends and family!
