Week 31

Week 31 13-19 September 2009

This was my final week at work in Athens before my maternity leave. Melissa came to replace me and it has been a busy time. We had a party for Jason, Vicki, and us on Wednesday because we are all leaving--but we will be back. I can't believe I am going to America on Sunday! Hopefully I will be able to work out the layette shipment soon!

Week 30

Week 30 6-12 September 2009

After a busy week we were focused on getting the house organized for my departure. We cleaned closets and got rid of so many things we have been carting around but no longer need. We have to make room for Baby Bird! There was a surprise baby shower for me this week, hosted by Phyllis, Angie, and Trusha. It was lots of fun and everyone was way too generous. This week we also got a shower hostess gift for all of Mom's showers. It is feeling very real now. For some culturing up we went to the Acropolis museum.

Week 29

Week 29: Letchworth, England August 30 - September 5, 2009

We flew to England this weekend to see the family. It was wonderful to spend time with everyone and just chill out. The best part was that Easy jet let us board early because of my big 'ol baby bump. We learned that you sometimes need to tell a little fib to be able to stay on the plane--giving doctor paperwork at check-in, how pregnant I am, and whether or not I can handle the exit row.
