Missing Vacation....

Yeah we have been back a week and I wish we could go back! The trip to Hilton Head went by so fast and for some reason it just felt so different this time. We had a good time but maybe the knowing that our lives are about to change drastically took its toll. We still relaxed and saoked in the sun a bit too much but oh well I needed the sun so I wouldnt look so white all the time. On the second day in the sun though we bought an umbrella bc I had so much. Tim wanted to get a pic of me under the umbrella but he forgot when we were ready to go. We were not very good about taking pics this time, but here are a few......




We hit up our usual haunts as far as dinner goes and enjoyed all the local seafood. We tried a new place for dinner that we werent to crazy about but you never know till you try. I am kind of glad we did though because we were able to hit up a few of the little shops at that marina and we picked up a sailboat for the nursery. There were several that we found but they were all too big so it was great that we finally found something that wasnt too tacky and wasnt too big. I also found a really cute picture frame that had a sailboat on it, so I will frame a pic from our trip. On our way home we still stopped in Concord just to stretch our legs and Tim found a wooden racing boat that matched too so we are officially done with nursery decorating. I am glad bc I want it to be done bf the shower.

I still have a few things to get done bf hand but all in all I would sa the nursery is 95% finished with the exception of organizing everything after my shower. I have almost finished sewing the extra ties on the bumper. I only have one more to go, then I plan to tackle the closet and put a few things in the cedar chest to free up some room in the closet. It is getting pretty cramped. I dont know where we are going to put the carrier, stroller, PnP, and all the other big things until he gets here. I guess my nesting instincts are starting to set in bc I have a list of projects I want to get done over the next several months. I plan to start in the kitchen this weekend, we have cupboards that are full of crap that need to go. We only use 20% of what we have. So the cleanout of the pantry and cupboards begin. Next is getting the carpet shampooed....man Tim has a lot in store for him :)

As an update on my GD test everything went fine for my 3 hr test. I had to drink more of the orange stuff than last time and it really made me feel like crap. I was about to lose it that first hour, and all I could do was sit in the waiting room and read magazines. I took the test on Tuesday and finally heard on Thursday so I was really relieved that it all came back normal.

This weekend was pretty low key, I swelled quite a bit on Thursday and Friday so an invite to hang out with Katie at her pool Saturday was welcomed it really helped. It felt so good to get that little bit of exercise too, I havent been on the treadmill in quite a while I am just going to try whenever I can my plans lately never work out. So I am doing what I can around the house to get a little bit in too. Me and Grandma went to Target on Saturday bc I had so many things I needed to get, so that was our visit I felt bad but I had so much to do that I needed to get home earlier than normal she understood but I still think she was a little bummed so now I wont see her again until the shower.

The IL will be back in the next couple of weeks and I am so excited to see them again and that they get to share in the fun with the shower and spend some more time with us. But it will be so funny they will leave us on Monday and we will see them again on Friday bc we will be up there for a wedding over the 4th of July holiday....we are seeing them quite a bit this year. I know they will be back in Sept whenever little man makes his appearance.

I have another doc appt tomorrow and Tim is going to go with me this time since he missed the last one. The baby has been pretty quiet the past couple of days, I felt him yesterday a good bit, but I was also very busy and maybe didnt notice as much. But today I havent felt him very much at all so I am glad that we are going in tomorow for a HB check and maybe if I mention it they will do an US.....long shot but worth a try I have been promised another US but havent gotten it yet. Anyhow......as of Wed. we only have 11 weeks left to 40 weeks. I cant believe it has all moved so fast. He is going to be here bf I know it and as of right now I am no where near ready......I hope that feeling changes soon, but i am not taking bets.
