3 family visits in 3 weekends leading up to 3rd trimester













It has been too long since I posted, but we have been making good use of our time. I posted pics and and update from when my mom came into town. The following weekend, Matt's parents visited and we went to my first Ga Tech game. They beat Clemson who was #5 in the country at the time (totally overrated). Then the weekend after that, we drove with the dogs with Ali to meet Jen at my dad's cabin in North Carolina. Dad literally built this cabin himself and it is so amazing. I always pictured small cabin, kinda rustic, but he has built an enormous house on the top of a mountain outside of Boone, NC. It was the first time any of them had seen me all preggers and we had so much fun. The dogs loved bouncing through the fields and we all hiked up to the top of some mountain where you could see for 50 miles around. It was a great trip and I finally got a good night sleep there after tossing and turning for about 2 weeks straight.

These 3 great weekends lead right into my 3rd trimester. I cannot believe I have already been pregnant for 7 months, but then again I can. I feel like I announced my pregnancy ages ago and Matt and I joke all the time that it really takes a long time to grow a baby. But I feel like I am in the final stretch and know that it will go quickly.

We are going to Dallas this weekend for a little 'babymoon.' I had never heard that term before a few months ago, but apparently couples take a little trip before the baby comes to relax and enjoy a little time alone together before their lives change completely. So we are going to Dallas and plan to see a rodeo, maybe catch the new Twilight movie, and go to Nick and Sam's for dinner. I am dreading the flight, but looking forward to a whole weekend alone with Matt.


After that we head down to Orlando for Thanksgiving and my sisters are throwing me a baby shower. I am excited to see friends and family, but again...not excited about the drive. Oh well, I will pop on the heated seat, lay back, and relax as much as possible.

I can't find the cord to my camera to download pics, but have a few from the phone of the nursery with chair and bedding. Grace really thinks that this is her new room and she sleeps in there and rolls around. It is pretty cute. I can imagine her sleeping on the floor while Harrison plays and naps.
