Garage Sale Weekend

This weekend Andy's youngest sister was graduating from High School and his whole family was up north celebrating. My doctor told me this close to my due date would not be a good time to travel that far-so I sent Andy on his own and I spent the weekend with my family-a much closer distance to the hospital. I kinda smile when I picture Andy driving the 5 hours back as quickly and safely he could with all the emotions he would have gone through if I had gone into labor. But good thing it didn't because the baby has a few more precious weeks to grow.

Though the weekend went fast-I feel like we did a lot! Here are a few of my favorite moments:

~Watching my mom, sister, dad and nephews all get excited for our spur of the moment garage sale- All we needed was my brother.

~Going through my big bag of stuffed animals and parting with the ones that weren't that special to me (attempted to sell at a garage sale and only one was bought!)

~Sharing a bedroom with Charley, listening to him (heavy breather), reading him books, and watching him move around- He's a great roommate!

~"Observing" Henry and Charley get a bath-two brothers

~Playing Monopoly with my mom and sister and trying to stop the devious plan they both created which totally kicked my butt

~Watching my dad pick up Henry and put him in the umbrella stroller and take him for a walk

~Lunch with my mom today, where she said "This is the end of us" meaning-we probably won't hang out just the two of us anymore (with Junior very close/on his or her way!)

~Sitting at the garage sale and watching people pick up some of our old stuff and laughing at my mom and sister who thought the day would be soooo busy that we wouldn't have time to watch both boys at once

~Having some relatives stop by unexpectedly (Grandpa, Gerald, Marydonna, Mary and Gary)

~Spending a 1/2 hour chatting with an old college friend (Stacy!) catching up and seeing her surprise at my big belly

~Getting a little sun on my shoulders

~My 2 naps

~My mom and sister listening to me deal with all my anxiety of having a baby and all the glory that comes with it

~Seeing my sister's brother and sister-in-law and their new daughter Morgan-what a tiny precious girl
