Baby Shower

Last night Rachel and I (Rachel did most of the hard work!) had a baby shower for our friend Tara. Tara and her husband Colin are due to have their baby in just 3 weeks!!! We are very excited to meet their new baby! The shower was a lot of fun and I think it went pretty well. Tara got lots of nice gifts, so that was great. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, since Matt has the camera on the ship.

Matt went back to work last Thursday, but the ship is in port here, so he's home in the evenings which is nice. So Bethany and I are without car and housebound for the next 28 days...oh well. Rachel is housebound too, so one of these days I'm going to walk to her house, maybe, I think. We think it's probably about a 45-50 min walk, not too bad if the weather stays decent.

Bethany doesn't seem to be quite herself this past week, she has thrush, so she's on medication for that, but I've also noticed that her voice is a little horse sounding the last couple days, so I'm not sure if she has a sore throat. She has a doctor's appt on Thursday for her 9 month check up, so she'll get all checked over then! It's hard to believe she's almost 9 months old! This 9 months has gone much faster than 9 months of pregnancy did!

Bethany's down for her nap, so I'm off to have some lunch. I'll leave you with a picture of Bethany and Ryan on New Years Eve in their Christmas pj's. This is pretty much the only picture I have that it doesn't look like Bethany's trying to attack Ryan (probably the reason Ryan looks a little scared in the pic).
