First and foremost, on August 30th we assembled the crib! That's right, we got a crib AND put it together already! We sold Savannah's big bunk bed and we got a crib as part of the payment. The people we did the trade with turned out to be friends of mom and dad, so it worked out really well! Then, on the same day (August 29th), we found and bought a grown up bed for Jordan and I!
Everything is really going great. Dad and mom have asked us to stay here until after the baby is born, so even though we really were eager to move into our own place, we have decided and are thrilled to stay here and function as a great big happy family for now. I figured I would end up here for a couple weeks after the baby is born anyhow, and this gives us ample time to take our time to get our finances together and our ducks in a row, so to speak.
This past week and this weekend have been pretty great. On Wednesday, mom and Jordan and I picked Savannah up early from school and we all went to a late lunch at Brooklyn's. Afterward, we did some shopping and looking around in town. We got some things for the baby and I ran into a classmate from school that had a baby not too long ago, and that was really neat. We also went to the new Halloween store, and that was a lot of fun for mom and I, but I think Jordan was a little spooked and Savannah just wasn't interested.
Friday I spent the day with mom. We took Jordan to work and then we went to a couple stores in town. We didn't buy anything, but we did run into my friend, Kelly's, mom and brother and spoke to them for a few minutes, and then we went to lunch at Dee's before picking Jordan up. We saw our friend, Summer, at Dee's and so of course we talked to her for a while, and then that night we went to Outback as a family and ran into yet another familiar face, a friend of mine, Chelsea, who also had Savannah in her student teaching class last year. I really love living in a place where most everybody knows everybody and I am really thankful to be able to bring my baby into the piece of the world I was raised in and love.
Saturday we spent the day cleaning house and then went to a birthday party for my dad's friend's little boys. It was a good party, but we left early to grab some dinner at Bojangles before coming home to watch the race. I picked Jordan up from work that night and there was a disturbing local breaking news headline about a shooting at our WalMart. A young man we know was shot in the back, but thankfully is okay.
Today we spent most of the day at home. We watched movies and made stuffed shells and it was a good day. Tomorrow it's back to reality, and this week we have a lot to do. I have mommy class tomorrow afternoon, a doctors appointment on Tuesday, and we are going on a little road trip this week as well.
There were also a couple celebrity headlines I wanted to post here this past week. One is good news and the other was rather heartbreaking. I like to end things on a happy note, so I will share the sad one first.
Celebrity comedian Joan Rivers passed away this past week. She was 81 and suffered a cardiac arrest during a minor procedure. Mom and I were pretty upset about this one because we really liked Joan Rivers and are also fans of her daughter, Melissa.
On a much happier note, another celebrity is expecting with us! Carrie Underwood announced her pregnancy on "labor" day! I think it's so neat that our baby will be born around the same time as some of these celebrity babies. I remember how neat I thought it was growing up when I found out a celebrity I liked was the same age as me. If our kid is like me, he or she will think it's awesome to be born in the same year as Carrie Underwood and Jill Duggar Dillard's babies!
