Summer Traveling

Tomorrow I'll be 31 weeks pregnant, and my time for flying is rapidly diminishing. So it was time to head back East to see friends and family.

So on June 25th I flew to Alabama to visit my old college friend Bev. She and her mom threw a beautiful baby shower for me that Saturday. I don't have any pictures from that... they were all taken on another camera. So I'll post those when I get them.

The next day Bev and I drove to Ft. Benning, Georgia, to visit my friends Robin and Joe. Robin is due about five weeks after me, and it was fun to get some belly shots. She's just SO DARN CUTE!

We were in the South for about a week, and then Bev, her fiancee Kevin, and I drove up north to visit my family. Bob flew in to meet me there.

On Saturday, July 4th, my mom threw a baby shower for her side of the family and some old family friends. It rained... but it was still a lovely time (indoors). Again, I don't have tons of pictures on MY camera.

Sunday, Bob's mom organized a shower at Bob's brother's house (which is an amazing house, by the way) for that side of the family. I'm not sure if there are any pictures of that day or not. It was a beautiful day and a great chance to catch up with people we haven't seen in a year and a half. Too long!

Yesterday, we met up with my cousin Christy, her husband Mike, and my Godson, Leo. We met at Newport on the Levy and visited the aquarium. Leo is just brilliant and adorable to boot. It's a great combination. Unfortunately, the sun is so bright that we are squinting terribly, and I look absolutely enormous in this shot, but what can you do? -That's what I get for leaning back on the railing and sticking out my gut...

And finally, I'll leave you with a picture Bob snapped yesterday, after I woke up from a nap on the sofa. I think it's not a bad picture, and lord knows, I could use a decent picture of myself SOMEWHERE on this blog. So here it is...

There's more fun to come... including a 3D/4D ultrasound tomorrow... I'm so looking forward to that! And dinner with old high school buddies, and swimming with my old, pregnant friend, Mindy, on Friday. I'll post more later in the week.
