It was the beginning of my 32nd week, and the start of my 8th month and there I was boarding a plane to go to New York for the weekend. Many friends thought I was crazy and regaled me with stories of woman who had birth on airplanes that they all knew. But I decided to take a chance. I planned the trip by booking morning flights to eliminate possible delays. I also found direct flights so total airtime was 3 hours. The flights went smoothly and I was able to enjoy a great weekend in NY with family and friends. The main reason for the trip: Jessie and Mike's wedding. Congratulations to the Gormans! We had a great time at the wedding and the guys that passed the hors d'oeuvres loved me because I helped them clear their trays quicker. Momma still wore her high heels, butterball...even at 8 months.
The biggest surprise for the weekend was a baby shower that my sister had put together with Martha. Tamara really surprised me with all the little baby paraphernalia she managed to put up in the one hour set up time. David surprised me with a strong desire to go to the local whaling museum that day - I should have known. Thanks Tamara! You're the best sister in the world. I love you!
It was truly a busy weekend last week which resulted in a work week of just work and sleep. Baby butterball is getting really big and making it very difficult to roll out of bed to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The good news...my inny belly button is still not an outy. The bad news...there is no bad news, we're anxious and excited. Ahhh, time to get the baby room set up.
