Saturday, Mom and I met up at Archivers, a scrapbooking
store, to get some extra pages for Brooke’s baby book. After spending more time
than we should have there, we went next door to HEB. Mom helps me grocery shop
at least every other week. She knows I’m paranoid about my water breaking while
I’m shopping alone at the store, plus she generously helps carry everything up
the stairs! Mom and Dad were going to get a sitter for Grandmere, and come over
for dinner at our place once Michael was off work. Michael texted me while we were
grocery shopping to say he was working a 12-hour day. So I immediately found
some ribeyes and threw them in the cart. I knew he was going to want a good
meal when he got home! Mom offered to make her famous wild rice and zucchini
cakes – that Michael and I both love.
We ran by Babies R Us, so I could purchase our video baby
monitor – one of very few items left on our registry. The neat thing about the
one we got is it offers the smart phone app. There is a website you can log
into, password protected, for family to see the baby. This will also come in
handy, when I have to return to work and will want to see my angel during the
day. This may spend more time at Grammy and Grumpy’s this fall, until we move
to a house!
We returned home and mom put away the groceries while I
showered. I was going to go to church with my parents before we had dinner.
Everything turned out great and we all were stuffed sitting in the living room
right after dinner. My dad and I, somehow, managed to have a brownie and some ice
cream though! It was nice having my parents over for dinner again, and I know
they appreciate having a “night off”.
Yesterday Michael finally had the day off! He slept in and
we had French toast and bacon for breakfast. Then we went to our baptism preparation
class with her Godparents, Jen and my Dad. The class was very diverse – a mix
of different religions, parents who are there to baptize their 16 month old
child, a bedrest mother who was there anyway, a handful of pregnant women and
some Godparents for children in other states. It was a long 2 hours, but it
wasn’t too bad. I was actually very impressed with my knowledge of some of the
content. It has been a few years since I attended Sunday School, but I managed
to get a few of his questions answered correctly! Our next class is next
Sunday, and then we just have to wait for Brooke to be here.
After the class, Michael and I went back to my parents for
some snacks before going to dinner. We had plans to meet Michael’s parents at
Vincent’s. Grandmere came too! We got there right at 4…to find out they don’t
open until 5! We called on Saturday to confirm the times and obviously the
person who answered the phone did not know what they were talking about. At
least the staff was nice enough to let us in and seat us right away! 5 out of
the 7 of us ordered the Veal Vincent – their specialty! It was delicious. Kathy
gave us a couple gifts that she had received from family and friends. We got
the cutest handmade matching bibs, blankets and burpcloths! Our baby is going
to have enough bibs, blankets and burpcloths for an entire month before I have
to do laundry.
I worked on Brooke’s baby book some after dinner – getting
some of the known information filled out and adding pictures from showers and
other events leading up to her birth. I can’t wait to fill it all out. It is
already coming together so well. I just love it!
