For those of you who we were lucky to see during our week visit to St. Louis/Illinois, it was wonderful to see you! And for those of you who we missed, we love you too!
Our visit was wonderful, though maybe not relaxing! We were jam packed full of things to do and people to see! Not limited to, but including Dave's college graduation and a Carmody baby shower!
I think the flight home really incapsulates the exhaustion that a week on the run (while pregnant) does for me these days. We were scheduled to lay-over in Denver but were forbidden to land due to thunderstorms. After circling the airport for 20+ minutes, with an estimated wait time of 1 hour, our pilot decided we did not have enough fuel. We then landed in Colorado Springs where we sat in the hot plane for 1 hour. We then took off again to Denver, landed 2 hours late and of course missed our plane to Seattle. We were fortunate that another plane was about to take off, and had enough time to grab some McDonald's. While the storm had passed, the aftermath was a bumpy take-off which landed me in the airplane bathroom puking. In case you've never had the pleasure, avoid it at all costs - it was horrible! Luckily, dropping the line that I'm pregnant gets sympathy from even frustrated flight attendants so I was treated like a queen the rest of the flight. It was wonderful to land in Seattle...of course our bags didn't make it...and we were relieved because I had an interview first thing Thursday morning.
While the trip was exhausting, it is always worth it. Some highlights included giving our newly adopted nieces/nephew lots of squeezes. If you want your heart to melt, here is snippet of the love they gave in return!
The whole Rosenberger family was together in Carbondale to watch Dave cross the SIU Carbondale stage for graduation!
And as always, our family was incredibly generous to us to celebrate Little Rosey's coming with a baby shower! So many beautiful women in one room at Grandma Carmody's house! Aunt Chris and Meghan really went all out in making the party beautiful!
The greatest surprise of all was when Lauren and Nathan surprised me! They flew in from Philly for just a 30 hour visit to celebrate with us! We were so glad to have them there, and certainly our mom was thrilled to be with both of her girls!
And among many generous gifts was a quilt my Grandma Fix-It had made many years ago in preparation for this day! We went down to Jackson to visit thank her in person! She is now 97 years old and still waiting for the Good Lord to open her door!
Little Rosey seems to be doing well. We have our next doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and then only one more month until we find out if it is a boy or girl! I can't wait to hear the heartbeat tomorrow. I am also excited to tell Little Rosey that he/she was growing during a great period of history - Oprah's Farewell season! While I'm anxiously awaiting 2 phone calls about potential job offers, I secretly hope that the start dates wouldn't be until the last episode on Wednesday! I've probably only watched Oprah a handful of times in my life...that is until my recent bout of unemployment. I'm hooked. Joe thinks it's ridiculous.
So hopefully I'll be back here tomorrow with wonderful news about Little Rosey's progress and, if we're lucky, a new job!
Thanks for all the love!
