Falls and Urination

Yes, you are most likely intrigued by the title of this blog post. Don't worry - there are stories behind both...

I am 27 weeks now - time sure is flying by. This past weekend we went to North Myrtle Beach for a last mini vacation before the baby gets here. We met up there with my sister and her family. The resort was absolutely beautiful - right on the ocean and on the 19th floor. There was a great lazy river and pool there too. We had a great time with my niece, Ava, too! Ava says to me - "your belly is fat!" It sure does feel that way more and more now! Here is a few pictures from the trip:

On the way back from Myrtle Beach, I started crying in the car because we had to leave vacation (yes, the waterworks are going off much easier now a days!). So Matt starts laughing because he doesn't know what to do for me to make me feel better. Thus, I start laughing at myself - so I am crying and laughing at the same time and then it happens.... I pee on myself! This of course makes me laugh even harder. My bladder has gotten much weaker! It was a great moment though!

Then this past Monday I was at the grocery store after work picking up a few things. When i came out of the store I got caught on like a ledge in the parking lot and the cart starts to fall forward and I am going with it. All I could think was "just don't hit the belly." It was a very scary moment as I'm headed towards the ground. Luckily I was able to catch myself on my hands and legs. I have a few bruises and a bump knot on my shin, but besides that I'm okay. Thankfully I didn't go down on the baby!

My weight gain is still on track I believe. I've gained about 14-15 pounds now. I can hardly believe it when I step on the scale at times. Even though I'm still small in comparison to most people, it's still weird seeing these higher numbers that I never have before. Luckily it is still all staying in my belly and growing breasts! :)

That's about all the news for now. My sister is letting me borrow a whole bunch of Ava's clothes to use - which is WONDERFUL - she had really cute stuff. So I have been going through those and putting them away in the dresser this week. I go again to the doctor on Tuesday next week so I will update again after that. Our baby girl is kicking as I write, so she must want me to say hi to everyone!
