Mimi and Pop-Pop's House

Not much new to report. We had a nice, relaxing weekend here at home. After church yesterday, we went over to Julie's parents' house for lunch (Mimi & Pop-Pop's house) because the grandparents were going through withdrawals from not seeing Ethan! Then later that night, Dan's mom (Grammy) came over for a visit after having stopped by Ethan's cousins' house (Rebecca and Marissa that were in the last set of pictures, and who live only a mile from us!).

Then this afternoon, I (Julie) took Ethan BACK over to Mimi & Pop-Pop's house so they could babysit while I went shopping for some new fall clothes that are NOT maternity clothes! This was the 3rd time Ethan's been dropped off at their house for a babysitting session (the other 2 times were about 3 weeks ago when I went for a dentist appointment and also for my 6-week postpartum checkup - both appointments were in the Durham/Chapel Hill area about an hour away). It was nice to have a break and also I was pleasantly surprised to find some clothes that actually fit since I haven't lost all that baby weight yet (only 10 pounds to go!). :-)

This week, our other big "outings" are Wednesday - we go to the pediatrician for immunizations and well baby 2 month checkup, and Thursday - we go to see the cardiologist for our monthly visit. We'll give updates after each of these appointments. Please be in prayer for us and Ethan for his immunizations - I (Julie) fear needles and am not looking forward to the 4 shots Ethan will have to receive and what kind of side effects they may cause for him.
