I hadn't seen her in a while and I was so excited about her visit. My sister came in from Greensboro and we were off to the airport to pick her up. We met up with Luke for a quick lunch then left for Greenville for a Baby shower!!! Deb Cummings offered to throw one for us and we were very grateful. I'm glad my aunt was able to meet many of the women that I looked up to and mentored me while I was in college! Here we all are. 
Then back to Raleigh after a long traveling day for my aunt. Luke cooked us supper and it was yummy.Sunday, Suzie had to get back to Greensboro but my aunt was able to come to church with us. i was so excited for her to come and see what is a huge part in mine and Luke's life! She really enjoyed it. Then back in the car again. Tia Tochita really wanted to see Suzie's kids so we went off to Burlington to meet Suzie and the kids for a late lunch at Outback, my aunt's favorite restaurant. We forgot they don't open until later so we had to kill some time so Luke brought out his trusty frisbee and entertained the kids until it was time to eat.
And just look at how big these kids have gotten (Kelis is the little one, then Zhayla, then Malikhi) !!!! 
In two more years, Malikhi will be bigger than me. WOW!!! I found out that Kelis likes to eat lemons, and then they just couldn't fight the silliness! 
Monday came and we decided to do some shopping. I, of course, had to sit down every 5 seconds (come baby come). Then we met up with Luke's mom for lunch so she could spend some time with my aunt. 
After that, it was off to my doctor's appointment. I was excited to have her come with me and here our baby's heartbeat and meet our awesome doctor. BUT THEN................Dr. Holton decided to give my aunt a special treat and give me a surprise ultrasound!!!!! YAAAY!!! I love any opportunity that I get to see our little baby!!! I'm so glad Tia Tochita and Luke were both there!! She boo-hoo-ed the whole time. Here's our little jellybean
He's looking out. That bright spot in the middle is his nose, then just above that is an eyesocket and those four little spots above are his little fingers!!!He had his and on his cheek thinking, no doubt, whether today is the day he wants to come out or not! I was so grateful that our doc did that for us and that my aunt was there to experience it.After that, more shopping, then one more celebration for Luke's birthday at El Rodeo for dinner. 
What a great time we had. And a great beginning to my stay at home mom-ness. It was nice to give full attention to my home and my family without worrying about missing work and having to get back to it.
Now, we're just back to the waiting game! Come baby come!!!

I'll be praying that the baby will come soon. I know you're ready. Oh how I wish I'd known you were in G'ville and I could've brought you your gift. I'm going to mail it though. Did you give me your address already?
