Last weekend we got to take our first real "vacation" since the 2 days we had together just us after Isaac came home from deployment, almost a year ago. We've been out of town together, we've visited his family in CO, my family and friends, but we haven't gotten away just us in what seems like forever. SO, with saying that, this trip was amazing and much needed!! We went to Nag's Head and stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast one street away from the ocean. Even though I grew up in NC my entire life, I had never been to the Outer Banks, so this was a new and wonderful experience for both of us. I can't believe how close we live, I actually will probably never get over the fact that I live so close to the beach, when I had never been to a beach until I was at least 14. But the Outer Banks, some parts are only an hour, Nags Head was only 1 1/2 hrs, so close that we've talked about making some day trips just to try all the different restaurants. You know that was pretty much one of my favorite things about the trip, considering I'm pregnant and really want to eat about every 2 hrs, sometimes more often, depending on how my blood sugar is doing that day. We had some of the best sea food I've ever had, and at one place, I may have been serve the best restaurant fries I've ever had. I was pretty much in pregnant woman Heaven with all the good food we ate :) Luckily, my husband humors me with that. He also took me to one of the lighthouses, Bodie Island lighthouse, which was really cool, b/c again, even though I grew up in NC, I had never seen a lighthouse. We did spend some time on the beach, but it was too cold to spend much time. But it was very nice and peaceful the few times we walked down to the water. The ocean may be one of my most favorite creations of God, I just love how vast it is. Standing on the beach always reminds me of how big God is and how very, very small I am; it's a good reminder for me.
Anyway, other updates on us, Curtis is 34 weeks this week. I cannot believe that literally, in just 3 weeks he'll be full term and could come. I would be ok with that, one of my nurse manager's, Shannon, keeps telling me that's not ok b/c he'll be a wimpy white boy who will have to spend atleast 2-3 days in the NICU because that's just what wimpy white boys have to do. She wants me to go to 41 weeks. I can't really imagine that right now, not really wanting to think about it, so we shall see. But right now Curtis is doing well, thankfully still letting me sleep most of the time, and not making me sick anymore. We're really beginning to work on Curtis's room, so once it's done, I'll post pictures of it. Isaac's got it painted blue, from the girly pink that was in there and we have the crib set up. A friend of mine will be painting a tree and then we'll put up some shelves and pictures, things like that. I'm looking forward to having that done, although I know if he comes early, it will be ok, he won't be sleeping too much in there for a little while.
Here's a few pictures from our trip last weekend:
My 33 week pregnant belly
This dog just looked like it was having so much fun. I'm pretty sure Peaches would have been petrified if we had her with us and let her off her leash
How far along: 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: officially, 24lbs so far, another reason why I kind of hope I go alittle early.
Maternity clothes: I have maybe 2 shirts that I can wear at the moment that aren't maternity.
Stretch marks: None so far.
Best moment this week: The whole Outer Banks trip, even though that was last week :).
Miss anything: Easily putting on my boots, I'm gonna have to have Isaac help me soon.
Movement: He moves pretty much all the time, or at least he sits in a way that I can see exactly where he is.
Food cravings: I've had odd cravings like grapefruit a lot lately. I've been eating them almost daily.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Can't even remember the last time I got sick :)
Have you started to show yet: I have a bump, that's usually a little crooked.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!
Labor Signs: None yet, thank goodness.
Symptoms: Having to pee about every 30 mins, but that's pretty much it lately and heartburn has become more often.
Belly button in or out: It's definitely out, and it's really weird when it brushes up against something, I don't like that way that feels.
Wedding rings on or off: I'm officially down to just my engagement ring, wearing them together was getting difficult to take off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm pretty much always in a good mood, lately.
Looking forward to: Seeing the finished outcome of Curtis's room
