Pittsburgh Baby Shower

Last Thursday Paul and I were up bright and early to head to Pittsburgh for a Baby Shower. It was a long drive but nice to spend the time together. Once we got to Wild and Wonderful West Virginia we were talking about the bridge that they close once a year so that people can BASE jump/bungee jumping off of. We were hoping that it was not going to be this weekend and us have to take a detour. It was not this weekend! When we got to the bridge it was a perfect bathroom break point and get out and stretch our legs. The total trip to Pittsburgh took us 13 hours... that is l o n g. We hit some minor rush hour traffic, construction, and the New River Gorge. At New River Gorge we took the 200 feet hike down and then back up. When we got back to the top I told Paul "I need a cookie".

Hanging at home with the family. After an awesome dinner at Outback, Nathan was taking a rest on the drive home and his head was leaning against my belly and the baby was kicking him... ha ha. That entertained me just a little. Before leaving for dinner as my dad was pulling out the car he ran over a nail and the tire was leaking. So Paul and my dad dropped off the tire to be repaired while we ate and then got to put it back on once we got back from dinner. Never a dull moment at the Suwalski house!

Saturday we headed to my aunts house for the shower. Baby Hearn was spoiled and we are so blessed by all of the wonderful gifts that we received. And to see some family and friends that we have not seen in a while was a wonderful surprise. I was surprised to see Serena and Michaela at the shower, but it was a wonderful surprise. (More about them in another post... Just for you Serena.)
We received so many wonderful gifts! We are now prepared for football season! Baby Hearn's wonderful aunts, uncles, Grammy and Popski gave us a toy box FILLED with all kinds of goodies... including just about everything that we are going to need for Auburn Saturday's and Steeler Sunday's.

While the shower was going on a few of the guys were in the basement watching the Alabama Game on the BIG screen. After the game was over we headed home to watch the Auburn game and then get ready for a long drive home.

Our drive home took 12 hours.... man that was looooonnnnggg. Just wait till we do it with a baby. Good thing we took the truck home because we brought back so many wonderful gifts. Now finding a place for everything is going to be the hard part..... bring on the bigger house.

Thank you to everyone for showering Baby Hearn with such wonderful gifts. We love you and appreciate you all.
