Our Big Day Out

Finally!!!! Jolie is over 10 weeks old and officially done her "prison sentence." Her pediatrician didn't want her out and about (minus walks outdoors...) until she was 10 weeks, due to her baby immune system and the prevalence of all those germs in malls and other stores.

So, we started our socialization with a bang! Jolie attended a high school boy's wrestling match at Council Rock South High School. It was district finals, and two of my students were in them. (they both lost early). CRSHS is like a college campus!!! How I would love to work there and be the best paid teacher in the state!!! Back to Jolie though...she didn't like all the noise. There were probably 2000 people there, whistles, announcements, and buzzers. Far too exciting for my sheltered little girl.

After that, we went to Beth's baby shower. It, too, was an event. There were easily 60 people at her shower, and there was actually another shower across the aisle. There, mom and baby attempted breastfeeding in public. What better time to try than in a restaurant full of 200 women and maybe one man? It went well, but again, Jolie was over stimulated. She was a bit fussy all day, but after today, being in public will be easy street, as I assume we won't be at such busy places so often.

Beth is 7 months pregnant with twin boys: Ryan and Jimmy. We can't wait to meet them!!! They are going to be fast friends. In fact, Jolie was already passing notes to them. She told them all about her favorite author, Dr. Seuss, and about how her favorite hobby is kicking her feet on her changing table. She's such a flirt!! It's cute now, but in 15 years, I'll be turning gray over this!
