Me and Mommy
My Diaper Cake. Genius!
My mother-inlaw (Mahmondylla) and my best friend Kim (and her daughter Amel)
This past week Ahmed and I used this last opportunity to spend some time with some of our family and dear friends. It was a
world wind of events and visitations, but
somehow we made it happen! I will briefly share some of the things that we did.......
One of my best friends in the world Kim got us Nets tickets! I am a die hard fan.....yes, even when they loose, but they won! It was a double date with Kim&Tony me&Ahmed and it was so much fun. Looking back.....that is probably not going to happen for quite some time when the baby arrives. I know all of you parents are saying an Amen to that!
I got a kick out of watching my Mom, brother Delvin and his fiance' Tiffany's reactions the first time they felt the baby kicking. There faces just lit up. We also visited Ahmed's parents and they were just thrilled to see my belly including old friends, family, & Grandpa! ....It was just so nice to see everyone.
Apparently, when I told my Mom that I was going to make a last minute trip to the East Coast she quickly called my friend Kim to plan a shower. I don't know how they did it, but together with Ahmed's help, threw me such a nice intimate gathering of friends and family. It was so sweet and touching......I am so thankful for the people in my life. Thank you to everyone that came and celebrated my first baby. Everyone was so generous with the gifts and showered me with lots of love. (You too Daddy, Thank you so much) My mom made the most amazing food, her friends helped set up, .....I pigged out! And on top of that, to get me out of the house..... Kim treated me to a girls day at the spa on Park Ave (fancy :). I was really wondering why she made it early on a Sunday morning. I was so relaxed and comatose when I got back to the house. I was in ultra-relaxation mode I didn't suspect a thing! lol. Funny, I've been away for 8yrs......but there is something about going home, a mothers love...... I really appreciated all the advice, tips, and passed on wisdom from all the mommies I know. I will treasure them all, especially my Mom. Thank you. xoxoxoxo
