Free Weekend

Baseball was on the road this weekend so I had my husband all to myself. It was wonderful!! He works so much that some days I barely get to see him before my head hits the pillow.

We spent Saturday running a few errands around town. Then we headed to Southhaven for some shopping.

For the first time this pregnancy, Richie & I went shopping for our baby. It was such a fun, heart-warming experience. I loved just watching Richie look at all the baby gadgets and gear, picking things for our child. It was hard to say we didn't need something, but I had to put some things back or else I think he would have bought out the entire baby department.

It looks like we are really getting ready to have a baby in our house. The pack n play is all set up in our bedroom, we have a swing ready to go, we have lots of clothes and a few diapers. After our shower this Saturday we will start filling in what we'll need for him.

One thing that I'll need for me we will be taking care of this Tuesday- our epidural class. The state of MS does not allow anyone an epidural unless they take this class. No exceptions. "They" say to take the class (offered only once a month, naturally) in your 8th month. Um, no thanks. That's cutting it waaaay too close for me. What if something happens and I go into labor early? I do not want to be caught without the wonderful invention that is an epidural. So, we are taking the class this Tuesday.

This busy week also brings Kathy (Richie's mom) and her friend Mary to town, as well as my Aunt Mel, cousin Ashley and her little girl Francesca. I can't wait to see everyone!

This is shaping up to be a good week!
