Glow in the Dark

Our friend Stacey got a call on Friday for the awesome opportunity to go to NY for at least a month but probably more like 3 to work on the next Spiderman movie. While it was great for her career and she gets to live with and work with her fiancee Brian, it was not good timing for baby since things are delayed a week. She was so upset to learn that she will now miss the birth as she flies out tomorrow morning for NY. So, today Marshall and I made plans to meet her for lunch and spend a little time with her before she had to leave town. Since Marshall was out at Best Buy with his friend Geoff, Geoff and his fiancee Amanda ended up meeting us for lunch as well. We ate at Towne Grill at Mayfaire and the fish and chips were great as always. I am finding that I can no longer finish my meals as I become very full feeling a lot quicker than I had been. I guess the little guy is taking up so much room in there my stomach doesn't have room to expand anymore.

After lunch, Marshall and I rode over to Pier 1 imports and bought the base for my swingasan chair so I will finally be able to use it even though Marshall has forbid me from using it while I'm still pregnant. After purchasing that we walked over to the Brilliant Sky toy store to see if they had glow in the dark stars for the nursery. Marshall wanted to stick the stars on the wall by the moon. They did indeed have stars, but they also had this really cool light by Boon. The light changed colors or you could set it on any particular color you want. The coolest part though was the balls on the top of the base would come off and glow in the dark for an additional 30 minutes off the base. We thought that would be really cool for a kid that might be afraid of the dark as they could take the balls with them. So, of course, Marshall bought it despite its hefty price tag of $75. When we got home we put the lights in the nursery and I have to admit it is a really cool room at night and not the least bit scary or dark. It will be a very serene place to spend the evenings for sure.
