Weekend in Pittsburgh

This past weekend we went to Pittsburgh to meet young Henry and to visit with Megan and Robbie and Jess. Unfortunately, Will did indeed have a cold and was therefore unable to meet Henry. Our pediatrician basically scared the crap out of us by saying that if Henry got any sort of fever it would be an automatic hospitalization and spinal tap, and we really didn't want that to happen, and if it did happen, we really didn't want to be blamed for it. So we shuffled childcare and Henry duties on Friday and Saturday. Also, we brought the camera with us, but I accidently and foolishly left it in the car when Matt dropped me and Megan off, so we have no pictures. But in any case, Henry is really, really cute and made nary a peep other than during a diaper change the whole time I was with him. It was a lot of fun meeting him, and we'll get to see him again at the beginning of November during Megan and Paul's wedding extravaganza. At his current growth rate, he should probably be around Will's size by then.

We spent Friday and Saturday nights at Megan and Paul's apartment, which is a great place for a family with a kid because they have enough rooms that the portable crib doesn't have to be in the guest room with the parents. As much as we love Will, we find that all three of us sleep better if he is not in the same room with us, and this is a luxury that we are not used to as travelers. Plus, Megan collected a bunch of toys for visiting kids to play with, which made Will pretty happy. Paul was away for the weekend, but we had a nice time with Megan and she cooked us an awesome dinner Saturday night.
