It’s hard to describe how blessed we feel to have such wonderful family and friends in our life. One of the most important people right now is our surrogate, Lorisha. We had such a good time this week as we were able to join her for a doctor’s appointment in Redlands. Everything looked fine for Lorisha and the baby and the doctor is now talking about “induction dates”. Of course, I had several questions and hope that I didn’t scare the doctor. I’m sure he is just too thrilled to be dealing with a pregnant woman AND her two intended parents. But, he seems to enjoy it so hopefully we won’t drive him too crazy. Lorisha’s girlfriend Kiba was also at the appointment and it is really special to see the two of them together. We enjoyed giving them some travel gifts for Christmas that they could enjoy together as well as something special from my past, a Teddy Ruxpin, for her son Julian. Who knew that Teddy even existed anymore!
Another very special person is Teri, Allen’s sister and the godmother of little Quentin. She is pictured in front with our cousin/sister Trina followed by BFF Shaunte who now lives in Long Beach. I think Teri might be as excited about this baby as we are! She and her mother have already bought out the stores for baby clothes. Teri is a physical therapist who lives in Virginia Beach. She’ll be coming out in early March to stay with us for a week after Quentin is born. This will be a great time for her to bond with Quentin...and let us get some sleep! Seriously, we are so blessed to have such a loving, smart, beautiful, and sweet sister in our lives. And, Quentin promises to be one spoiled little boy if Aunt Teri has her way!
