Thanks, Mom!

Moms always seem to know when you need them. A week ago, my mom and I were talking and she decided to book a last minute flight to come spend the weekend with me. I hadn't seen her since January, which is way too long, and with so much happening in our lives, we needed to spend some time together. My mom got to town Friday morning, and we spent the weekend relaxing, watching movies, sitting by the pool, and catching up. She headed back to MN this afternoon ... it was a quick trip, but a much-needed one. Sometimes only a mom can make things right, and I'm so glad mine was here to do just that this weekend. Thanks, Mom!

**Side note: I have had many requests for baby news. While I remember writing a while back that baby news would be the primary purpose of this blog, we've been in the midst of a "baby news scare" of sorts. Please don't panic or worry ... I think everything is going to be perfectly fine. However, I wanted to let you know that while I've been avoiding baby updates and belly shots on purpose, I do not intend to continue doing so for long. I'm a little over 16 weeks now, and feeling great. More soon!
