Where have I been?

Okay, so since we found out it was a boy, we've been crazy busy and thus the seemingly never-ending silence.  Or maybe I just was being lazy.  You can decide that soon enough!  So two weekends ago, my parental units showed up.  They arrived at 1 a.m. which I can not remember the last time I was up that late being preggers and all.  I took a nap waiting for them I was that tired.  The next morning began a weekend of baby shopping. Tommy and I have tried to go shopping before, but each time we went, we'd get frustrated that we didn't know the sex and there's no such thing as gender neutral, no matter what anyone else tries to say (green is for boys and yellow is for girls) and buying diapers, soap, etc is not fun.  So we end up leaving with nothing.  Plus, we don't know what we're doing.  We don't know what babies need so we just felt silly. 

Well, my mom showed us what we really needed and we went price comparison shopping.  My dad has the attention span of a dog, that's right, not even at a human's level, and he wandered a lot.  But we ended up buying wash clothes, baby soap, a dresser, and a crib mattress.  The mattress was random but it was $13!!! Just an idea for non baby people, walmart was selling them for $70.  Then Tommy went to work, we watched tv and relaxed and made dinner.  We went for a walk, played games, watched movies, yada, yada, yada. 

Day two, we found out we were having a boy!  It went something like this "here's the head, you can see the baby's profile, there are some ribs and that's the spine, here are the little butt cheeks pointing straight out and those are the boy parts!" I had barely registered that she was pointing out the butt and then BAM! she's drops the bomb.  One of my first thoughts was, "uh oh" because Tommy and I have struggled so hard to come up with a boy name that we both agree on.  But I'm SUPER excited to have a boy!  After that it was celebration time in the form of buy tons of boys clothes!  On the way to the first store, I remembered a name we had both talked about and quietly asked Tommy what he thought about it, he thought and then said, "yeah!" and we decided in a matter of 10 seconds after months of disagreeing on our future son's name.  Zachary Mike May!  And for the rest of the day Tommy was running around saying "Zach attack!" It was really cute to see how proud he is already. :)  We got tons of baby clothes and it was as disgusting as you can imagine.  My mom  and I were oohing and awwing  and "isn't that so cute!" over EVERYTHING.  We got these awesome overalls for the summer that I can't wait for and these footy pajamas with race cars that Tommy can't wait to fill! the rest of the day was filled with the same as the night before

The next day Tommy went to work and my parents and I went to see Harry Potter!  There was a lady there who thought the rest of the audience was blind and felt it was her sole duty to exclaim and explain every part of the movie.  She would laugh really loud in that "See everyone, this part is funny that's why I'm laughing" kind of way at the funny and only sort of funny parts that you might smile at but not laugh out loud at.  No joke at one point she said, "OH! that's the snake!" As if no one else in the theatre had seen the 20 ft long thing that had only shown up 4 times already in the movie.  Okay that all sounds harsh, but still, you're not at home! Use your indoor voice!  Also, while coming back from one of my many bathroom breaks, I came across a woman changing her baby on the floor (on a changing pad, I'll give her that) but right in front of the door leading into the theatre!!! I literally had to crawl over her legs to get to the door.  Oh public outings...the funny things you see.
Then we picked up Tommy, dropped off my mom to rest, and went to the pool. It was awesome b/c the water makes me feel 50 pounds lighter, plus we were going around the lazy river so the water is pushing you along which takes another 25 pounds off.  The feeling was glorious!! An hour and a half later, we got out and oh my goodness!! I thought I was treading through mud!  Gravity clearly kicked in and I wasn't very thrilled about it.  We went home and had a really awesome meal with teriyaki chicken, fried rice, salad, and SMOOTHIES! We also took the only picture from their visit.  Once again, it's of food.  

 Here's our fancy meal we made, note that the photo is void of people

Here are the race car pajamas and my new glider rocker!  It's awesome...
