I'm finally home again after a wonderful trip with the Yaeger family to visit family in Illinois and Missouri. Flying home yesterday was quite the experience. I was offered an upgraded seat because of my current condition, the flight attendants were very nice and on my way off the plane the pilot handed me two twix bars he said for the baby's "nourishment." Also, I enjoyed riding in the golf carts down the terminals to my gate. Traveling is not what it used to be, I'm moving SLOW these days. I can't believe that this coming Saturday I'm flying out again to NC. I wish I could put Ron in my suitcase... :( It's amazing how nice people are to pregnant women. I wish that the overall public would treat eachother this well on a daily basis. The world would be a better place! Here are some highlights from the trip!
On the farm with Ron's family in Calhoun County, IL. I rode shotgun in the "mule," we later went to pick blackberries.

On Sunday July 5th, Ron's Aunt's surprised me with a Surprise Baby Shower! You can imagine my surprise when I walked into the local community center to tons of presents and decorations!
The cake, YUM!

Jody made Grant a daygown to wear home from the hospital. While on vacation, she taught me to smock and I smocked the center of the gown for my precious little one. I'll post more pics of this later once it's complete!
Opening my graco car seat stroller, I received the infant car seat, the extra base for Ron's car and the frame for it to snap into to use as the stroller for the first few months, I was thrilled!
I had a wonderful time visiting Ron's Grandparents, Aunt's and Uncles, cousins and their children. They joked that I married Ron to be related to all of them. My time spent with them was wonderful and I can't wait to go back with Grant! 
Jena! That is sooo cute! You looked like you had such a good time! I can't believe you are going to be a mommy so soon!!
