Rachel asked that we go somewhere close to her house since Asher is only a few months old and isn't a big fan of hanging out of the house all that much. Well, she is a liar, because we walked around the mall for hours and he only was awake long enough for lunch and was quite the perfect little angel! It was a fun afternoon of shopping with Rachel, we haven't shopped in years so it was a nice treat, and I got some great deals, while staring at Asher's adorable face all afternoon.

Day 211, September 17th
Saturday morning, I headed up to PV Mall to have breakfast with my Rachel and her little man Asher. We had a nice breakfast at Chompie's and then decided to wander around the mall for a bit.

Day 170, August 7th
Sunday morning, the dudes headed off to play baseball, which left me stranded at the hotel. This was not the original plan, Ryan was supposed to drive with some of the other guys so that I would have a car to head to the game later in the morning. But some unforeseen circumstance that happened after we left the bar the prior evening forced Ryan to need to drive to the game, leaving me stuck. I got ready, cleaned the room and checked out of the hotel, and then basically broke the law and hung out in the room until Ryan came back! We all grabbed some lunch and then I drove the winning team home to Phoenix.
Once we got home, we headed up to Rachel and Eric's house to see little baby Asher. The little guy slept the entire time I was there, which makes me think baby's aren't really that tough... :) I was so caught up in worrying about holding, and not dropping Asher, that I totally didn't take a picture! We had a nice time hanging out, hearing the reality of parenthood, and seeing my old friend be a mom!!
After we left their house, we headed to Pita Jungle to have dinner with Alex and Heather. Must have been Baby Sunday, because these crazy kids are expecting a baby!!! We had a fun night, a delicious meal, and then headed to Mojo and pretty much planned out the future G baby's entire life! A very exciting end to a fun weekend! Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Day 156, July 24th
We got the hospital I think a little after 12 a.m., so I thought, yay, this could be Sunday's blog!!
Rachel was happily drugged up, a last minute change in planning, that I couldn't agree with more, and her room was full of friends and family. At about 1 a.m. they kicked us out so that she could get to work and welcome Asher to the world. Eric and Rachel had yet to pick out a middle name, so her mom, sister, Kendra and I brainstormed some pretty impressive names for the little guy, that for whatever reason, they didn't pick any of!!
We spent our time in the waiting room, talking about the baby, tough mudder, and probably lots of other things I don't remember from lack of sleep.
At 3:30 a.m. the nurse came to get us to see little Asher and parents! He was just the most precious little baby I ever did see! Seemed so alert for just being born, but I suppose this is my first experience seeing a brand new baby so what frame of reference do I really have?!
They passed Asher around for the family to hold, and I quietly prayed no one would ask me if I wanted to hold him, and thankfully they didn't. I have a real fear of little babies, I'll take them at 6 months, but before that, they seem too fragile for me. I kept having visions of dropping him, then just looking with stunned face at Rachel to tell her sorry I dropped your new baby!!!
We left shortly after, and headed back home to finally get some sleep...you know, because I did so much work waiting for that baby!!!
I woke up around 10, still tired, but obviously not enough to sleep, got up, ate some breakfast and waited for Ryan to wake up, which didn't happen until almost 1!! He woke up, I fell back asleep, and finally around 4:30 we pulled ourselves off the couch and headed to the Sheraton to pick up my car, and run to the grocery store to get some food.
We had caprese paninis which is quickly becoming my favorite quick dinner idea, and watched The Shawshank Redemption.
After Asher's birth, our Sunday really peaked, nothing too exciting for the rest of our day! It is still hard to believe that Rachel has a baby!! At 11 years old if you would have said in 16 years you'll be in your first year of marriage and Rachel will have a baby, I would have said...me and Rachel?! Have you met us?! We'll be spinsters for life, in a tiny house, with hundreds of cats!!
