Our last vacation

Well, our last vacation before baby comes has come and gone. I can't believe we were gone for 8 days! It felt like a weekend at most! It was a very low key vacation. Days on the beach, nights out to dinner then home to bed. Speaking of bed, the beds at this place were HARD! Not great for the two pregnant ladies in residence. By the last night I had figured out just how to arrange the pillows to give my poor hips some comfort. Below are a few pics. I'm fighting a cold today, so I don't feel like narrating.




The couples we went with:



us:


Seaside:





Our last day, there were lots of jellyfish that had washed up. Neat to look at, but you can bet I didn't get in the water much that day!


Went to the pool instead:


Those of you that know Chris will understand when I say I have no idea why.





Daniel and I headed to Mobile Friday to spend the night with my sister and her family. My nieces were very interested in my belly and how the baby got in there and how he can hear us, but can't talk back, and when will he kick. The below are pictures of Daniel and the girls talking to the baby to try and get him to move around.


Madeline had told me to bring a list of names and she would tell me which ones were good. Unfortunately, she didn't like ANY of the names on our list. For those of you who keep asking though, we are getting closer. I would say we are down to 5 to choose from.

Saturday we packed up again and moved on to Ocean Springs for the night. We had a lovely dinner with Daniel's mom and got to visit with his Aunt Catherine briefly as well. It was a quick trip, but I'm glad we were able to stop in for a night. Our camera is trying to recover from getting dropped in the sand, so I didn't get any pics.

On the baby front: I can't believe we only have 95 days to go (according to the counter at the top of this blog). As of next week I'll be in my third trimester! Crazy how fast time is flying by! I still feel great. The prilosec is keeping the acid reflux away, so that just leaves me with the constant running to the bathroom! Our next appointment is next Thursday, and I will be taking the 1 hour GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) again. Fingers crossed that I pass it! Mom is coming to visit this weekend and we are going to attempt to pick out a chair/rocker/glider combo for the nursery and maybe paint for the walls. I'll feel much better if we can get these big things taken care of this weekend!
