SURPRISES!

I had a big surprise this week!

My mom and sister came up to spend the week with me, and it’s been such fun! I don’t know if I’ve ever been quite so surprised and startled by something like this, and they’ve already done their fair share of surprises on me in the time I’ve lived in New York. Silly, wonderful people!

Ben and I were up in Rochester for the evening…date night, you know. We had dinner and went to a movie (this one! i highly recommend!), and it was such a fun evening. About ten minutes before the movie ends, Ben tells me that I should check my phone…so I do…and there’s only a few notifications from Instagram, which didn’t seem overly urgent or important to check during a movie. He leans over and swipes open the one that was from my sister, and I find myself looking a picture of her and my mom sitting underneath an airport gate for Rochester, New York!!!

I literally sat there for a couple minutes so confused and startled…but what a fun surprise!

It’s been such a good week, and it’s definitely helped my days pass by much quicker while we wait for this baby to arrive. We’ve done a lot of sitting around, reading, watching cooking shows (my sis is as obsessed as i am), cooking, and talking about how much we can’t wait till we have a little one to hold and play with. We went out for a crepe lunch one day, and they even took care of washing my windows for me. I cooked…they washed windows. It was the perfect trade, hehe.

They head for home today, and while we were all hoping the baby would decide to come while they were here for this visit, that’s not what’s happening this week. Oh well! It was still a super nice week, and we are that much closer to the end of this pregnancy.

Have a great Easter weekend!

What about you: what was the best thing about your week?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
