32 weeks and FAMILY!!

So...first...here is a 32 weeks picture!  Can't believe we are already this far!  In so many ways we feel ready for this little lady to come.  And in many other ways, we are terrified!  I was trying to go to sleep the other night (which isn't too hard except I swear the minute I fall asleep I wake up with an urge to pee AGAIN), and I thought to myself, "What if my water broke right now?"  and I immediately started to panic.  I started making a list of all the things that weren't ready yet and I was thinking about how I have talked about and read about what labor and delivery will be like but I realized how no matter all that, I'm still scared because I have never done this before.  Unknowns just really aren't my bag...so anyway, looking forward to almost being done with school so I can get to work on my list of 'things to do before our little lady graces us with her presence'!


So the other pictures are of the adventures Benn and I had with my Mom, sister, and Grandma.  They came to visit us for a few days and we had a blast with them!  We went to Newport, RI to tour 2 of the Newport Mansions, which were awesome!  On Sunday we took them to the Boston Temple and me (not thinking about taking pictures) wore my comfy clothes so while everybody else looks classy...i'm rocking pajama pants.  :)  Monday we walked about 7ish miles all around Boston with the Freedom Trail and ended for a small tour of Benn's school.  Our tour guide was one hunk of  man!  :)  (Hopefully everybody realized from that comment that Benn was our guide).  It was so great to have family here!  Only a little more than 7 weeks we will have one more reason for family and friends to come visit, so bring it on!  We love having visitors!
 The next two pictures are of one of the Newport Mansions we went to.  It was called 'The Elms'.  Pretty crazy how fancy those houses are!  Reminds me of Downton Abbey, so of course I loved it...

 The Charles River
 They loved the cobble stone roads!
 The next two pictures are of where we ate lunch and got desert.  We do love our Mike's Pastry!  Having visitors gives us an excuse to eat there, as well as try out other new places.
 
 Old North Church is behind us...just wanted to point that out because all I see when I look at this picture is the tacky sweater tied around my waist....ha!
 My mom wanted to take a picture with our T passes and the Orange Line sign.  :)
 Just in case you can't figure it out...here are some pictures of the Boston Temple.

 This is a lovely picture of me walking up a super steep hill to get to Bunker Hill...yes...once reaching the top I sat down for a few to catch my breath.  I just can't walk like I used to.
So...now that you have seen all the fun that can be had in Boston, who else wants to come visit?!  :)
