I say exciting, maybe I mean crazy, fun, hormonal...
Thursday Seth and Seth flew to New Orleans. Big Seth is in a wedding this weekend and Grandmama and Aunt Steph drove in to pick up SJ. He got to spend the weekend with his Louisiana Grandparents and Aunt and cousins. Maybe he'll come back with an accent! I know daddy would love that! With them leaving, the house has been SOOOO quiet, and that makes me sad. It's been a while since I cried as hard as I did Thursday. But each day has gotten a little easier. Friday I FINALLY got my hair cut, then ran a few errands and had lunch with mom for my birthday (a little late - but still great!) Then we ran around a little and I got fabric to make curtains for the new baby's room and fabric to cover the glider. I guess that's my new project! Friday night I put up new blinds in the kitchen and Saturday morning I put them up in the baby's room. Tomorrow I'll do the ones in Seth's room! Saturday when I got home from teaching I was surprised by a baby shower!!! A little dejavu? Yes - and very strange the whole baby girl thing is still so surreal to me. You would think it would be more real by now but it's not! We got so many cute girly outfits and a double stroller - which I can't wait to put together. We got the cutest sign "a ballerina sleeps here" from my aunt and cousin and my sister gave me the baby quilt that my grandmother made in 1985 for a neighbor. She had given it back to Keri when Emily was born and now I have it for this baby girl. So special!!! Tonight my mom and I did a little shopping. So...with my busy weekend on my feet...the swelling has begun in my hands and feet! Woo hoo!!! But I only have 9 weeks to go so I can't complain too much!
Seth seems to be having a great time in New Orleans for the wedding hanging out with old highschool buddies from his hometown...not getting much sleep...but having fun. I know he probably would like to have had more sleep since we don't have to get up with Seth...maybe for his birthday next weekend:) It's his big 3-0 and I think that means you require more sleep!
SJ seems to be doing good with everyone in Vidalia - which I'm so thankful for. I was worried that he would not do well since he doesn't see them often. And of course I worried, but he's sleeping good and they said they're all having a good time with him. So I'm so thankful that he had this opportunity to spend the time with them and that they were able to spend the time with him too. I hope they took pictures!
To update what SJ is doing now...he eats everything we eat (minus the sweets that mommy craves) and he's walking! He started walking a week after he turned 11months. I'm so thankful because he's not exactly light as a feather! He's so sweet, giving kisses, and hugs, and his "so big" and "fishy lips". His smile makes my day...
I think its good to spend time away sometimes because it makes you realize what you have. I love my boys so much and don't know what I would do without them. I HAVE enjoyed my time this weekend doing things that are hard to do with a 1 year old, but I am ready to have my boys home and get back to our schedule!
Seth loves my countdowns...so here's my latest! 1 week til daddy's 30th bday, 2 weeks til SJ's 1st birthday, 2 1/2 weeks til Thanksgiving, 3 weeks til December, 3 weeks left of teaching before maternity leave, 1 month til Christmas, our Louisiana family visiting Maryland, and then 2 weeks til baby girl is due to be born!!!

That was BEAUTIFUL. :)
Aww, poor Kellie. I bet it was so hard to be away from both of your men. It sounds like you've gotten a lot done. I wish we could have been there for the shower, but there's just too much going on right now. I can't believe SJ is about to be a year old. Where did this year go? Your countdowns just crack me up. Big hug from your Louisiana friends!
