Happy Friday!!

We haven't had our blog that long and we're already slacking on posts. Oops! Labor Day weekend was a little busy, but very nice. On Saturday my parents came up to visit and we all went over to Matt's parent's house for a BBQ. The ladies talked baby shower while the men played bean bags. It was great to share Baby Cincy's ultrasound photos with the Grandparents and start making plans for the Little One's arrival.

On Sunday my Mom and I did more baby planning while Matt and my Dad played Wii. (My Dad was a pro at the new Wii Resort Sports games!) We set up the family cradle that my parent's brought us. My Mom had it all ready with a new mattress and cute yellow duck bedding set. This cradle is either 85 or 90 years old and has been used by my Grandma, my Mom, my brother, and me! Many healthy babies have slept in the cradle, so we're hoping it brings good luck.

For lunch we drove out to Hackney's in Lake Zurich. Matt and I have been before, but my parents really wanted to try it. It was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" and they are known for their onion loaf, blue cheese burger, and inside-out burger. Of course we sampled them all and determined that the blue cheese burger on rye bread is the winner. The restaurant was 10 minutes from my office in Long Grove so I showed my parents where I work. Then it was time to say goodbye because my Dad had to work on Monday.

Sunday night we met Rich, Jane, Jeff, and Kelly for dinner and drinks. Jeff has been dating Kelly for over 6 months and I FINALLY got to meet her! It was great catching up and relaxing knowing that we didn't have work the next day.

Though we didn't have to go to the office on Monday, Matt and I certainly worked hard. The room that is going to be the nursery was our "office/clutter room". We moved a bunch of furniture and sorted through a lot of junk in order to clear the room. Now we have an empty space that we get to start filling!! We spent the rest of the day searching the internet for nursery decoration ideas and baby names. We didn't make any decisions yet, but we're hoping to figure the nursery out soon. We're going to take our time with baby names and probably won't make our final decision until we meet her.
