Baby shower, complete with the "Baby of Honor."

It was a great weekend in the Morehead City. Lilly turned 1 month old, we got to attend a baby shower, Fitz got to go fishing for the first time with the neighbors, we got to spend time outside with Lilly, and we got to have dinner with 2 couples who were in our birthing class (and are still pregnant). Lilly and I got to be the guests of honor at a baby shower that was planned for before Lilly was born, but she came so early that she got to attend the shower too. The food was great, the cake was perfect, and Lilly got to meet her "boyfriend." My friend Amy Quinn, had a baby boy (Ben) 2 weeks before Lilly, but he was full term. And Amy was able to being Ben to the shower, he was 23 inches at birth so putting then two babies next to each other was a funny sight (the photo does not do the size difference justice). By the end of the party Lilly had passed out in my arms, and was ready to head home. Fitz got to got fishing for Blues on Saturday afternoon/evening and then he learned how to fillet the fish, and fry them in flour. The boys (Nick, Jeremiah, and Fitz) managed to catch so many fish that we had fried Blues for lunch the next day too. Then finally on Sunday evening we heading to PKS for a cook out with some friends from our birthing class. It was funny (at least to me) to watch the husbands to see Lilly and know that soon they will have little ones to deal with. I made sure to give them my number in case they needed anything, and I for sure want to bring them lunch/dinner sometime because that was the biggest help for us after Lilly was born. As we were leaving last night, Katie was having contractions, and though she might be heading to the hospital soon. Both Katie and Missy are pass 36 weeks, so they are in the clear for delivering at CGH without any cause for concern. It was a simply beautiful weekend, both weather and entertainment wise. Then today it's cloudy and rainy....guess it's time to nap.....but only after I pack up Fitz's suitcase for his travel this week (and yes he will be done all week).
