Florida Trip and more!

It has been a while since my last post and Michael is in class tonight so I thought this would be a great time to update!

Last week, Michael and I went to Florida to visit my parents (which was awesome!!) We had so much fun. It was nice to sit around and not do/think about ANYTHING! My mom and I watched a lot of NCIS, which has become one of my new favorite shows. It was just nice being able to spend time with my parents. I saw them a lot over the past month and now I won't see them again until the end of October :-(

Michael and I went to Disney World on July 31 and stayed in a really nice hotel room at the Contemporary Hotel for half the price of a regular room thanks to Expedia.com. It was HUGE! There were two sinks, a living room, two showers, two patios, and a huge king size bed. We spend pretty much the entire day on Friday in 3 of the 4 parks. After check-in, we went to Hollywood Studios and had a cobb salad from the Brown Durby.We then did the backlot tour and went to see the most amazing stunt show (which consisted of high speed cars, motorcycles, and jetskiis) We then headed back to the hotel for a little nap and then went to Epcot. We went on Elen's ride and then we waited 85 minutes to ride Soarin'... it was worth EVERY minute. It felt like you were hang gliding. We then went to get dinner (at 9:30 pm) and headed to the Magic Kingdom. We stayed there until 1:30 am and then called it a night. 

It was an amazing last trip before the baby is born. However, it was Peanut's first trip to Disney World :-)

Overall, the trip to Florida was amazing and I am so glad that we got to go. It is nice being home because we get to enjoy our new carpet...which is truly awesome. It is so comfy that the cats actually lay and sleep on it like it's their bed. 

Pregnancy news-- 17 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Peanut is the size of an onion this week. He/she is 5 ounces and 5 inches long. I am starting to notice more pressure in my lower abdomen, but that seems normal considering what's going on in there. My belly is getting bigger everyday. It is finally starting to shape into a pregnant belly and not just a fat belly. I am feeling pretty good, however my headaches had gotten worse. I pretty much get one everyday, but all of these pains are going to be well worth it in January. Michael and I are getting SO excited.

I had a dream the other night that I was cuddling and feeding our baby. It was the most amazing dream I have ever had. I know that this time in my life will be really stressful and full of sleepless nights, but it is all worth it.

Well, time to relax. Bye for now :-)
