So currently D&J are out here. They got into TN Friday evening and stayed overnight and came to town that morning for the ultrasound. I'll post the results in another entry. I will say that there was so much excitement going on. After that we took them for bbq and that evening we had a Thanksgiving Dinner in their honor. My friend K came along with her daughter as well as my mom. K is like the best cook ever and I am in love with her cranberry sauce and the pecans she made. I've eaten them all already!
Then on Sunday we went to Memphis. We stopped at Graceland (Elvis Presley's home) first. While it's very interesting I definitely do not recommend it if you have children under 2. My time there was spent having D pull me around everywhere and getting wore out. It's a beautiful home though and even though i've been once before I liked getting to see his home and cars.
After that we went to get some food. My favorite burger place in Memphis is Kooky Canuck. Not only have they been on Man vs Food for their 7 1/2lb burger, but their regular sized ones are just amazing. I wish we had one here so I could go whenever. We also went to Beale street for a short period of time because at that moment it started pouring cold rain. Before it got bad D & D got to enjoy some live music.
Today so far all that's happened is breakfast here (and I feel like I need to be making this everyday) of ham,cheese, and egg croissants and fruit salad. We then went over to the hospital so they could see where they'll be going when Piki is born and get a tour of the room. They've updated it (I think because of a new one coming in) and i'm so looking forward to baby time! Labor and Delivery has always been my favorite part so it just hypes it up. As well I found out that babies 33 weeks and older can be born here unlike before where if it was 35 weeks or earlier I would fly to Little Rock. It gives a lot of peace of mind to me since being separated from my girls for a long time with a long distance scares me. I don't think i'll deliver that early, but I know anything can happen in a pregnancy. Tonight i'm hoping we'll go out one last time before saying goodbye to D&J as they head back home. I'll miss having them here and I know the girls will too. D really warmed up to them and was having them read her books and play games with her.
