Vineyard Vaca

Chris and I got to take a wonderful pre-baby trip last week. We spent about 5 days on Martha's't been on the island in almost 10 years and I had never been in the summer time when it was warm. We Vineyard visiting with his family. We had a wonderful time!!! Chris hadngot to catch up with his family and take in a few touristy things too. They gave us a surprise baby shower while we were there too. It was so nice and Chris and I appreciated it so much!!! The vacation went so well overall that our luggage didn't want to come home so it decided to stay a day or two longer than we did, but we got it back eventually. Those couple of days were a little rough though considering ALL my maternity clothes were in my bag except a couple of shirts and the jeans I wore on the plane. But hey all is well that ends well right?

Pregnancy Update

So far this pregnancy has been beyond wonderful!!! To say I have had an easy pregnancy thus far would be an understatement. I have had no morning sickness and so far no swelling or sciatica. I'm still trying to do a modified workout at least a couple of days a week and I've been taking a yoga class one to two days a week. I can't help but feel that my keeping active is what has helped this pregnancy along so well. I've had to stop running and move to the elliptical the last couple of months not due to balance or fatigue, but peeing and breathing. Mainly I have to stop every 2 minutes to go pee and I can't breath while running. I enjoy the elliptical and can read while I'm on it so I don't mind too much.
He started feeling his movement around 19 weeks. He is moving a ton everyday!!! I'm at 29 weeks now and he is starting to make hard movements and the kicks are turning into hard knots that stick out for extended periods of time. He usually likes to hang out on my right side, which makes me look a little bit whop sided, and that is usually where I feel the kicks and knots at too.
I can only hope that the rest of this pregnancy goes half as smooth as the first 29 weeks have. I thank God everyday that he has given me this gift and that he has blessed me with such a comfortable pregnancy. Chris has been wonderful also. He makes sure to tell me almost daily how beautiful I look and how much he loves my pregnant body. It is amazing how him telling me that can turn a miserable I feel fat day into a I love every inch of my blooming body day!!
Now, if we could just decide on a name we would be set!!!
