Don left to get mom Walker from Indiana last weekend and I didn't want to be alone seeing that I'm 37 weeks and still feel like I'm in a foreign country, so I asked my good friend Courtney to come and stay with me. She said she would! YAY FOR COURTNEY!
She took the train up from DC to PENN station, then the LIRR to Ronkonkoma where we picked her up. Long train ride. I was concerned, but she assured me that she wouldn't be talking to or accepting candy from strangers. I was very impressed with her bravery. But she's a very brave, independent, and totally fabulous lady. :D
She got in around 11 PM Thursday night. Don left for the airport around 3:30 that morning. Courtney then played chauffeur and took me to the doctors at 7:30 am. She came in and listened to Rebekah's heart beat with me. Good bonding time. Then we came home and both took much needed naps.
Other highlights of the weekend included:
Baby shower (more on that later)
The making of the famous brownies
A trip to a local pizzeria for "a slice"
Watching my huge belly jolt and saying things like "wow" and "I KNOW!"
Going to the grocery store for ice cream (I know... we ate REALLY well that weekend)
Going back to the grocery for the ingredients for enchiladas and bean casserole (SO good!)
A little light cleaning of some hand-me-down's for Rebekah
Putting baby shower items away
Lots of good catching up
And the second making of the famous brownies....
Don and mom Walker got home Saturday around 4 PM. We ate dinner, chatted, and had brownies and ice cream. (Yes, I did share.)
You may have noticed and pondered on "the second making of the famous brownies." Let me explain.... First, I'm pregnant. :D Second, these are Courtney's brownies. The are SOOO GOOD! So, Sunday when I noticed the brownies were almost gone, I was very sad. But Courtney had a plan. She would make more. YAY COURTNEY!
This deserves a close up.
Don thought my belly deserved a close up too... Yes, that's Courtney hiding entirely behind my belly. SIGH....
All in all, a great weekend with a great friend. Thanks for coming, Courtney! You truly spoiled me!
By the way, the clock is ticking. I'm one day shy of 38 weeks. Dr. says Rebekah can come anytime she's good and ready now.

Haha, yay for Elizabeth and Rebekah! I'm glad I got to come, it's been too long since we caught up. And I'll make you brownies anytime :) Good luck these next couple weeks and keep me posted!!!
Making more brownies sounds like it WAS a good plan! I don't think a better plan has ever been conceived. In fact I may have to use that exact plan sometime.
