My first visitors

Kyle and Stephanie, my brother and sister-in-law visited today! The first official visitors of my new place! We walked the main street and just had time to chat. So wonderful.

Stephanie is carrying my first nephew/niece. I meant to take pictures today, but i apologize, i got caught up in the joy of visitors. So regardless of whether I had to stalk this off facebook or not :|, here they are pre-preggerness:

And post-preggers with buddha belly:

Steph is now 26 weeks pregnant with 10 weeks to go. 10 WEEKS! I just can't believe it. Two weeks ago I helped them paint the baby's room in their new house and last week I helped them move furniture in for the baby. It all seems so surreal.

I could not, however, be more excited and more ready for a little nephew/niece. Maybe due to the fact that I'm the baby of my family and never experienced a blood-related baby. Or maybe after all my years of babysitting and falling in love with those kids--picturing the attachment that's so easily made with kids I babysit for and imagining that for a child that's blood-related to me, I just can not even fathom the joy that will come with that. Tears come out just thinking about it.

I am so thankful for Kyle and Steph and that little baby inside her belly. 10 more weeks :)
