Another busy weekend!!!

The last two weekends have been pretty busy for us, which is great, since the busy factor SOMETIMES takes my mind off my big countdown!!!

The weekend before last:
Girls Night on Friday night...Had a few of my girls over to Chez O'Neil for a lovely potluck BBQ...Everyone brought a little something and my wonderful husband stuck around long enough to cook up some yummy burgers and sausages for us to eat!!! Luckily the weather held out for us (it was supposed to rain) which was great because we got to sit out on the deck and enjoy the yard, good food, drink and company...:)
Thanks Ladies for a wonderful time!!!

That Saturday was the first of two of our labor and delivery classes. To say the least I was LESS than impressed with the day so I won't expand on that...

On Sunday, Brad's Sister Kim, Aunt Dorothy and Cousin Rena threw me a little baby shower in anticipation of our little sweet pea!!! The shower was even themed "SWEAT PEA" which I thought was REALLY CUTE!!! Thanks to the 3 hostesses for a great event :) It also was a wonderful afternoon with good food, drink and company...Oh and of course LOTS of really cool gifts!!! Thank everyone for the great day and memories!!!

This past weekend...Also very busy:

On Friday night we headed out to Perth to watch Madison (Brad's goddaughter) perform in her very first dance recital!!! She was definitely a super-star and we totally enjoyed ourselves!!! Thanks Madison for entertaining us!!!

On Saturday we had the second (and last) of our labor and delivery classes. It definitely went better than the first class as in the information and exercises were a bit more useful...But to tell you the truth...I don't feel anymore prepared to give birth than I did before...just a whole lot more frightened!!!
Saturday evening we went down for a little walk and checked out WESTFEST!
Sunday was exciting for me as well...I finally got to check out UPPER CANADA VILLAGE!!! It was pretty cool and a beautiful day out!!! Thanks Hubby for taking me there and for the wonderful picnic lunch!!!
