This past week was a very busy week for the both of us! It was so busy that I am going to give you a play-by-play:
Monday, July 11
The day started out normal, we went to work and got a few things done at Court and then it was time to take a trip to the Cape to pick up Aunt Danielle. We got to the Cape and did some more work at Grandma Mary's (we organized pictures on my computer) and then it was time to pick Aunt Danielle up from work (we also got an ice cream!) The drive back to Maine was pretty fun but since we got home late we went to bed pretty early.

Today we got up pretty early because we had to go to the doctor's office in Portland in order to have the anatomy scan done. The wait was long (they were running almost an hour behind) and the lady who did the scanning didn't have the best bedside manner (she wasn't very friendly and didn't explain much of what she was doing) but we did get to see various parts of you (your hands, feet, face) and you stayed still enough that we were able to tell what you were! Josh was team pink and Aunt Danielle and I were team blue. We all took a deep breath and then learned that you are a BOY!
That afternoon we went shopping and I made the first clothing purchase. Your first outfit was purchased at the Carter's Outlet in Freeport, Maine. It is a navy blue newborn sized pajama (with feet) with little while outlines of elephants on it. There is also a little gray elephant patch sewn on above a patch that says "I love Mommy". I also bought you some no-scratch mittens that matched. Here is a picture of your first outfit and a close-up of the little patch.

You and I worked a lot today. While we worked Josh and Hunter drove Auntie Danielle back down to the Cape. They got back late (after we had already been home and taken a nap!). We were all very tired from the adventures the day before and the fact that it was so hot Tuesday night that no one got that much sleep. So, we went to bed early!
Thursday, July 14
Today we shared with Grandma Janet and Grandma Mary that you were going to be a BOY! They were both very excited to hear that and Grandma Mary couldn't want to tell me that she couldn't wait to get you your own RED SOX hat! Other than that it was just a regular work day!
Friday, July 15
My 31st birthday morning was spent at the doctor's office just checking in on weight gain and checking measurements. Since my last doctor's appointment I gained 8.5 pounds which is a perfect weight gain for this period of time I was told and because of that you and I are both measuring perfect! Our next doctor's appointment for check-ups will be in August.
I did not expect to be pregnant on my 31st birthday but I will say that I am very happy that I am because I am looking forward to being your mom and spending all future birthdays with you!
Saturday, July 16
Today we had a party in order to celebrate my birthday and make the announcement to all our friends and families that you were a little boy. The party started at 1pm and I asked everyone to come wearing a shirt in the color of the gender they thought you were. Here is the breakdown:
Team Blue: Auntie Cathlin, Jarrod, Grandma Janet, Kelly, Grandpa Tom, Ryan & Justin Fillip, Ana
Team Pink: Grandpa Dennis, Great-Grandma Irene, Aunt Kris, Beth, Sophie Fillip
Unclear: Uncle Justin (he wore black/orange) and Jill (she wore khaki)
We broke the news by having Grandpa Tom break open a cupcake that I had filled with blue frosting in front of everyone. Grandpa Tom was very excited as was everyone else (even those on Team Pink). Your party was a lot of fun and you received many gifts (I will put these in another post).
By the time everyone left Josh, Hunter, and I were exhausted so we ended up just watching a movie on TV and going to bed.
Sunday, July 17
Today you went to your first movie. We saw Transformers - The Dark Side of the Moon.
So there is a recap of your very busy week!
xoxo
Erin
