Dear Baby Wray, Hold on TIGHT!

Hi all...and Happy Monday!
What a great weekend we had! Even though I've been starting to feel quite queasy over the passed few days, I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing weekend with family!

Friday - which happened the be the WORST of my nausea - I went home from school and headed straight over to my parents house where Joshua was patiently awaiting my arrival! When Zig and I walked in, I could hear him talking, but when we rounded the corner and he saw us, he waved his arms and started yelling in Russian! We think that meant that he was just SO EXCITED to see his Aunt Libby and Uncle Zig! Seeing his handsome face made me feel a million times better! It was as if I had never been sick! What power this child already has on me!
We spent the evening with my family, eating a delicious supper (that actually stayed in my belly) and then playing for hours on the floor with my man! Meg and I gave him his 'tubbie,' then the 'milkies,' then off to dreamland he went! I love spending time with my sister...and Joshua will always be "my favorite man!"

Saturday, I woke up a little "green around the gills..." YUCK! Zig left for a fire call really early and didn't get home until after noon. So, I took my time getting up and ready. When he finally got home, we drove to Belleville to pick up a piece of furniture from Yoder's - my all time favorite country store! The cabinet she had for us was the wrong one, so we just picked a few things and headed home.
Around 3:00, Zig and I left for State College. For Christmas, Meg and Jason got us tickets to the Kellie Pickler/Rascal Flatts concert! I couldn't have been more excited about this gift! We left early enough to get into a restaurant and have a nice dinner before the show, but it seems as though everyone else had the same exact idea! We tried to go to the Texas Roadhouse, but would have waited almost 2 hours for a table. In Zig's words... "Dino's pizza at the mall is sounding really good right now!" Off to the mall we headed! We got a slice of pizza and an Auntie Anne's pretzel, then drove to the Bryce Jordan Center!
What an amazing show! Kellie Pickler was exactly how she has always been on TV - dumb, but so sweet! She sounded great, actually better than she does on the radio or her CD's! Rascal Flatts was, of course, amazing! We had such a good time singing, dancing, and screaming - and hoping that the baby was holding on tight inside! What a crazy night!
It was almost 1:00am until we got home...so needless to say, we slept in on Sunday morning and missed church.

We filled our afternoon with some home-makeover skills! Steven came to help us move the bed from my old room at my parent's house to our new back bedroom. Zig got all of the painting done and we were ready to finish the room! I love having a spare room! Not that many people come to visit us, but it's nice to have a functional 2nd bedroom- just incase! What I like best is that I finally get to use the quilt that my mom made for us for our wedding! I just love it! I can't wait to get started on the nursery!

I'll try to post some pictures of the concert if I remember...
Hopefully this week will go by a little more quickly than the last few have! We're down to 16 more days until we can see Georgette, which still seems like a lifetime!
But with the way I've been feeling and how sore "the girls" are...I know that this baby is still cooking in my belly!

Happy Day!
