In the 8th Month

Today I am 32 weeks along (which means I have completed 7 mos. of pregnancy and am on the 8 week countdown). This is a picture of the baby belly yesterday at the Cafe. We had quite an eventful weekend. Friday night we got a photosmart copier/printer/scanner all in one and a mino flip video camcorder (both in prep for the bambino). I finally gave in and ordered maternity clothing from Old Navy. It was actually better than I thought. As you can see by the picture the belly was becoming too big to hold in any longer!

Saturday Morning we put the crib together that the Moldenhauer's are loaning us and went through the two boxes of clothing from the boys. Then we organized the room. Saturday I had lunch with Alerie, Jon, Marisa and Moises in Huntington, our once a month SBU lunches. We ate at a nice Mexican place and went to Cocofe across the street for some lovely desserts. The whole time the little bambino was moving around quite a bit! Also, we sold our tredmill on craigslist. Thank God for craigslist, now I am hoping to also get rid of the papasan chair!

To boot on Saturday evening, our friend Lisa sent us a Holiday Package with lots of goodies. First we got the wonderful homemade candies and goodies from Lisa and Tresa. Then Lisa also included a lovely handmade embroidered blanket (which goes back many years) and several baby goodies for the little bambino.

Then came Sunday...I had some last minute things to get together including finishing my goddaughter's 1st year scrap book before I left. I went to CVS to develop the pics - and no such luck - their entire photo area was down. At this I headed out to Walmart (thinking this may be a bad idea on the Sunday before Christmas). Walmart was a disaster as predicted. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get 1 hour film developed. Their machine kept printing my pictures with big red spots all over them (which would not have been pretty in the scrap book). So finally, at 8pm we are packing to go home to EA for the next week with a stop in Syracuse along the way. We will get to visit with Dan and Brian and have a lunch with Tanya and see the boys!

It should be a great Christmas week with a lovely shower to end it all before I head back to LI!
