7 Weeks



REALLY?

Elizabeth had another busy week.  Monday night we had friends come over to meet her and bring supper.  It was fun and I think Elizabeth charmed them.  Tuesday night was National Night Out.  One of our neighbors hosts a potluck dinner in her back yard.  We took Elizabeth and had a fun time meeting neighbors.  There has been a lot of change over in the neighborhood, older owners to younger ones so there were new people to meet.  We were hoping to meet some of the other young couples in the neighborhood with young kids (four of them one and under).  We did meet one of the couples, but I’m sure the rest were busy.  Having a kid will do that to you.

Wednesday night Elizabeth got to see her first Musical Theater show.  The church based theater group, Heaven Help Us Players, that I’ve worked with in the past had their final dress rehearsal and allowed us to see the show and bring Elizabeth.  Of course, they were all excited to meet her.  This is the group I did Godspell with last summer and Nunsense II this winter so they had been with me through a large portion of my pregnancy.  The show, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, was great and Elizabeth liked all of the lights, even if she was fussy.



Last wearing for that outfit!



Thursday we just stayed home for the evening and Friday too.  Saturday Elizabeth went to the chiropractor for the first time.  Don’t worry, there was no cracking or adjustments.  The chiropractor, who Marc has been seeing for 10 years, checked out her pelvis, hips and shoulders.  Elizabeth has been having some trouble with gas and poop and the chiropractor wanted to check her alignment.  Her pelvis was off on one side so he did some muscle work to get it right.  It did make some improvement so I would suggest it for kids, if you have a chiropractor who you trust and works with infants.

This afternoon Marc’s Mom and Great Aunt Audrey came up for a visit and to babysit so Marc and I could go on a date.  We saw the last Harry Potter movie, which was really good.  I want to go back and read the book again, but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

This week Marc is out of town for work and the following week I go back to work part-time.  I plan to enjoy my last week at home with Elizabeth.  I can’t believe eight weeks have gone so fast.
