a sunny day with friends

My beautiful friend, Sandra, and her son, Alex, have come to visit from Ohio this weekend. I am so happy to have my dear friend here with me to celebrate my final days as a momma-to-be. Today we took a trip to the Skylands Botanical Gardens for a picnic + lots of sunshine. My Godson Brian came with us, too. Alex + Brian became the best of friends immediately, giving us gals a wonderful opportunity to catch up. (Thank you, sweet boys!) We had a lovely picnic. Now I am spent + ready for bed at 7 p.m. Check out my 34-week baby bump. I hardly recognize myself but boy am I ever grateful for this entire miracle. Soon baby boy will be in my arms — I’ve never been so excited for anything in my life.
