Last week we found out my parents & baby brother were coming to town. I was so very excited.
My dad's been working in California so they traveled with him & stopped by our place for the weekend for Chase's fall break!
We had an appointment on Friday with the doctor & a non-stress test!
Everything went smoothly & our girl is looking good!  We have about a month left. I cannot wait SLASH I'm freaking out a lot.

My stomach was killing me that morning, so I took the day off from work & rested up. That night I had some serious contractions & was so happy they were actually happening. I was starting to think this baby was never going to come. I was feeling left out of the "Braxton Hicks" club.

My family rolled into town around 1:30 a.m.! Whew it was late. We were going to go to bed, but I couldn't not say high when It's been 3 months since I last saw any of them!
Weston was dying of exhaustion.
He took a little nap though & had some caffeine assistance, though.
The next day my mom & I stopped by the quilt shop in Salem that we love!
My mom was driving all day on her big 5-0 birthday!! So we went out to lunch the day after at Brick Oven.
My parent's favorite place! We had a lot of fun! Except I'm just remembering now they never sang to her. Boo on you Brick Oven. 
Afterwards we went to Riverwoods & walked through the shops! 


That night we watched BYU kick around the scrappy Georgia Tech team & then taught Weston how to play Settlers of Catan. 
We played games the rest of the 24 hrs we had left.
We had so much fun!
I always love when my family can visit! Even if it's only for 48 hours!

My mom comes back out in a month for D-Day & I am counting down. I told her it will be fun to actually have her in town when I don't have to work. That's never happened.  We will actually be able to spend time together besides just the evenings!

I am also really excited to live near them again.  I've really missed my parents & they're my greatest friends.  It has been 6.5 years since I have lived within 2,000 miles of them. I feel long overdue.  I'm so lucky that Weston loves TN & that he is open to moving to my homeland.  I can't wait to be back out there & everytime they visit I am reminded of how excited I am!
Weston is a little nervous about finding a job, we haven't had luck yet. Any Tennesseans knowing of a medical related job, please send the info our way.
I am really nervous about having a baby. I've started becoming more anxious about it lately. Ah, I don't know what I'm doing. But I know we'll figure it out. & I'm so lucky to have my mom be able to come stay with me & help me.  She is seriously awesome & a great support to me in every way!

  3. I just have felt the love oozing off the page here! Loved the sweet, sweet comments to this post and I want to add mine, too. I didn't get the visit with you all but I heard about it and my heart was right in the middle with you, though separated. I love all these grandkids of mine and it's a thrill to welcome more family to love on. Thanks for the pictures and the telling of the tale of the Patriarch and Matriarch's visits! Love them, love you!
