27 Weeks

I made my second cross-country trip being pregnant. This time I had a great experience flying to my hometown San Ramon, California. I had a direct flight from Baltimore to San Francisco, 5 hours each way, and it was fabulous! That’s the way to fly cross-country. I flew United and the time flew by with free movies and sitcom shows (The Office!). Both ways I also had the middle seat free too.

My reason for going home was to attend a baby shower my girlfriends from high school threw for me. So sweet. I stayed with my aunt and uncle since my dad now lives in Idaho. A huge blessing was that my cousin, Jason, and his wife, Sara, coincidentally planned to come home the same weekend. So it was so nice to spend time with both of them, because it had been over a year since seeing them last (they now live in Seattle, WA).

The shower was such a fun reunion of all of my high school friends and some of their moms, some of whom I have known since elementary school! A few of them made the trip up from SoCal, contributing to the day’s meaningfulness. Of all my girlfriends, FIVE of us are pregnant! So fun. Here are some pictures from the wonderful shower. Cute decorations of onesies and booties (which I got to take home with me) and an amazing cake to match the nursery:

And here are all the girls:

And the preggos:
