Our baby is getting very big in my pregnancy week 36. Our neighbors threw us a wonderful baby shower last week which was absolutely amazing. I caught my daughter’s back to school cold, even though she had hers for a couple hours and mine seems to be ongoing. We visited one of my favorite places […]
