Cute little bunnies.

We survived Charlie's first road trip! For Easter, we went down to Atlanta to spend the weekend with Aunt Carly and half of the grandparents. Charlie did great! He and Hanker shared the back seat. Somehow we managed to cram all of our crap, Charlie's crap, Hank's crap, and ourselves in the car somehow. I'm still not sure how we fit all that into my sedan and still had room to breathe.

Since we're establishing a pictorial pattern here, I give you... Easter.

 Concentration. 

  

Road trip buddies!

 

 Cutie.

 Our first attempt at a basket. I think we did well. 

 We also celebrated my birthday. SJ was sweet enough to help me blow out my candles. 

 Someday his newborn clothes will fit. Sadly, that day is not today.

Two sleep deprived parents. Yay for sunglasses.

Dum dum dum....

Since the day we brought Charlie home, we've had help. One of our moms have been here since day one. Mine stayed for 2 weeks, and Bob's has stayed for another two weeks. Tomorrow, Bob's mom leaves and we'll be alone. On one hand, I'm ready to see if I can do this on my own. On the other hand, I'm scared to death that I'm going to have to do this on my own. OMG.

After marrying Bob, we developed a phrase to describe our situation... I have a single wife life when he's gone. I knew I'd be mostly alone in tending to our child, because he works so much. Knowing and doing it are two totally different animals.

Since Charlie has been born, when he's home, Bob is absolutely hands on. He's doing a great job as a dad. He helps with the baby, he helps out around the house, he's been amazing. Luckily, he comes home tomorrow a few hours after his mom leaves.

So think of us tomorrow as we say goodbye to our Meme!

Showered.

This has been a very long weekend! I left Charlotte on Thursday for Atlanta to spent the evening with Carly, Frank, and SJ. Every time I see Sarah she's grown up more. I'm happy they're in Atlanta, but we haven't seen them any more than we did when they were in Houston! This must change. Once I'm done with work and Baby G gets here, I plan on making it down there more often. There's a saying that cousins are our first best friends, and that was certainly the case in my family. I think history needs to repeat itself.

After Atlanta, I headed to Philadelphia, MS, to host a Tupperware party for Bob's mom. Boy, do her friends love them some Tupperware! From there, I came on over to Hometown yesterday, and was honored with a fabulous baby shower today. My friends Lacey and Katherine are amazing and did a fantastic job. I loved every single thing from the invites, to the diaper cake, to the favors (cookies), and of course, the obligatory petit fours from Trainas. I'll post pics once my official photographer (Kat) sends me the pics.

Baby G got so many cute things. He got an amazing handmade blanket from a family friend, lots of clothes, including some Duke gear (his dad will be pumped), and several pairs of shoes/socks. This kid is set, at least for the first 3 months of life.

I still have two more showers to go... My friends are certainly amazing women!
