Holy crap, it’s 9:00 a.m. and I have just thought about getting to my blog… I really dislike Mondays. It just seems like as soon as I walk in I am bombarded. Which also reminds me that I haven’t sent in my weekly report yet. Darnit.

I had a really nice weekend though. Saturday Matty had to work in the morning so I went to my Mom’s and visited with my Dad and a few brothers and then took my Mom to a friend’s baby shower. The baby shower was deliriously fun. All that baby stuff everywhere. I was on overload. They got a lot of lovely things and as usual the little one will have no shortage of cute outfits her first 3 months of existence and then maybe a few more pieces up to 6 or 7 months and then nothing in her closet. Wait, that sounds like most of us girls! But really, everyone wants to buy the tiny stuff and we forget to buy larger sizes…

There was the assortment of some of my personal favorites, home crafted afghans and flannel throw blankets.

The gals who threw the shower did a wonderful job and obviously put a lot of time and thought into it. It was a great time all around.

Then Matty called and said that our friends Katie and Michelle wanted to go to dinner. Michelle is moving to New York I think this week to be with her fiancé. They are getting married in early October. Her bachelorette party is the weekend before my due date. That should be a hoot.

We had dinner and as usual ran into someone who we knew from bowling casually. Then really started chatting and discovered that they used to know Matt’s father well and were in Matt’s home when he was 3 or 4 years old. Small world and an of course an even later night…

Sunday I got up late… ahhh, bliss… Matty made breakfast and I watered the flowers. Then we hung out and did some household chores. Sorted mail, ironed, Matt made a late lunch of pork roast and veggies, and green beans and red potatoes. I made a big batch of pasta salad… Mmmm, lunch today…

Then Matty golfed and I hung out with the MIL and watched a little TV. A nice slow, but nonetheless productive day.

That was the weekend. I didn’t eat much yesterday and it has hit me already. Pretty darn hungry this morning. Went to the snack machine and the only that was definitely not a candy bar were Pop Tarts. Bad idea. I always forget just how not worth it I feel that Pop Tarts are. That was a waste of calories… Blech.

Carry on oh beautiful friends!!

Love, Rebekah & Baby Matthew
