Seriously?

26 weeks and growing!

Weekend full of surprises

What a fantastic weekend! My last trip before the baby comes, thanks to John who treated me to a trip back to Houston for the weekend. The first surprise was on me. I saw my mom and Elmer pull up at the airport and saw that she was holding a nice bouquet of white lilies. I thought, how nice for a Nana to do! She really got on me to open the card before I could even put my seatbelt on! When I read the card, the tears came. It read, "To my darling wife and baby, Love Johnny." Are you KIDDING ME?!?! How sweet is he? I wish I could've brought the flowers home with me, but I'm sure mom will enjoy them as much as I did this weekend.

Surprise #2: I got to surprise Wendy for her birthday weekend. Betsy was a bit more difficult so she knew about my arrival but we had fun just the same. We watched Morgan play soccer on Saturday.....WOW! She's come a long way from just going out on the field and picking flowers back when she was 3. She's quite the athlete. I can't wait to see what she ends up doing sports-wise when she's a little older. We stayed up very late that night playing dominoes. I won! Well.....okay....I didn't exactly win, but I did almost get the highest score. (I think the goal is to have a small number. Now that I know, I'm ready to play again.)

Then Sunday I was able to truly shock and surprise my sweet friend Rebecca at her baby shower! Nobody even had an inkling of an idea that I was coming. I got a scream and some tears and we hugged so tight that I think Lily and Brady (Rebecca's baby) can say they have officially met. (It's kind of funny hugging another pregnant woman.) The shower was absolutely beautiful and it was fun to visit with everyone. Lily even seemed to know she was in the presence of other babies-to-be-delivered because she kicked and squirmed the entire time! I can tell she's going to be a pistol, just like her dad.
