NYC

Aubrie made her first trip to New York City this past Saturday. We took the train into the city, which she loved. We then took the subway around the city with our friends from Buffalo, who were there for the whole weekend.
We had lunch in Little Italy.



Meeting Tinkerbell and Snow White at the World of Disney Store.


Aubrie once again proved that she can sleep anywhere. She passed out after a very long day on the train home.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Justin and Jessica on their wedding this past Saturday. Everything was beautiful!

Aubrie loved being the flower girl, but I think she enjoyed the bubbles after the ceremony more than the mass.

But after a very long day, staying awake until the end of the reception was just too much. She can sleep through anything, including a very lively group dancing the night away.

We spent Sunday in Plymouth, MA visiting the Mayflower II, a reconstruction of the original boat that the pilgrims crossed the Atlantic on. Aubrie really wanted to go on the boat until we got inside, at which point she decided it was too dark and scary and she wanted to get off.

Weekend update

Aubrie at the Tulip Festival at Washington Park in Albany on Saturday.
On another note, we have still not picked a name, but thanks for the suggestions that are coming in. I found a really cool website that lists the top ten girl & boy names by hospital for last year. It is interesting to see what the popular names are in your area as opposed to the top 10 from across the country.

Name Game

The most common question people ask regarding the baby is if we have picked out a name yet. With Aubrie we had her first and middle name picked out months in advance and let everyone know the initials so they could start guessing names. With this baby, we cannot seem to pick out any names. I think that is partly due to the fact that Aubrie had me convinced it was a girl, so I had a girl name ready to go. We can also throw the fact that there are SEVEN babies of family, friends and co-workers due within the next three months, not to mention Babies Ella and Natalie who recently arrived. We don't want to pick out a name and have a friend or relative use the same thing. But for those of you who are curious, the front runners are A, O & T. Aubrie suggests that we call him Baby Boy.

Weekend Projects

We now have running water in our kitchen!!!! Daryl got the new sink and dishwasher hooked up this weekend, so we no longer have to wash our dishes in the bathroom sink. The granite on the main counter top is also in.
Since our kitchen is now fully functioning, we are going to take a break from it so that we can build Aubrie's play set in the back yard. (mainly we have some lighting and tiling left to do in the kitchen). We also want to get the fence up in the back yard since Barron does not care for his leash. We started building the play set last night in the family room. The number of parts and pieces is ridiculous. After 3+ hours of working, all we have is a fort roof and a couple ladders.

Weekend Updates

Yes it is mid April in New York and Aubrie spent the weekend swimming in the back yard. A bit crazy, but temps were in the high 70's/low 80's...this better not be a sign of things to come this summer, or I will be one miserable pregnant woman!
On another note, while Aubrie was enjoying the outdoors, Daryl was busy working on the kitchen remodel. All of the cabinets are in and the stove, microwave and refrigerator are working. Unfortunately we still do not have plumbing in the kitchen. Hopefully by the end of the week.

It's A Boy!

Baby kicking Mommy...
Baby waving Hi!

Much to Aubrie's dismay, she is getting a baby brother not a baby sister. At this point in time, she is in denial, and will tell anyone who asks that we don't know what kind of baby we are getting. We have about 16 weeks to convince her that a baby brother is a good thing...she won't have to share her princesses!

Looks like we need to start buying blue clothes...just about everything we have for a baby is pink! More ultrasound pictures to come soon.
