Vacation and girls!

Well we just got back from Hilton Head last week and it was a fantastic vacation! We spent a lot of time with family and enjoyed the beach.  Our first full day in Hilton Head we were able to compete in a triathlon on the beach and we had an absolute blast!  I did the ocean swim as part of a relay with Brandon and his brother Matt and although it was a lot harder than the river swim of my first tri, coming out of the water as the second female was really exciting! Triathlons are something I can't wait to get into once the baby is born.


In other big news, we found out we are having a girl!  I am excited and so is Brandon (I think he's a little nervous too!) It means lots of pink and a very athletic girl :)  I am starting to feel lots of movement every day, which is one of the coolest things I've ever experienced.  She likes to kick and move around - she was very active during the ultrasound.  So everything is great and we're blessed to have a healthy pregnancy thus far.

Hopefully we'll have some other big news to share next week.  Enjoy the end of summer!

To drug or not to drug??

So we just got home from our second lamaze class and spent two hours talking about c-sections and epidurals.  Did you know that no matter if you get a walking epidural or more medication you cannot walk around?  That stinks!  It seriously makes me think about drugs.  I want to say I can make it through the pain...but we shall see!

In other news, we leave for a much needed vacay this Friday!  Woot!  11 hours of driving (more like 12) will be very much worth it when we are able to relax on the sunny beaches of Hilton Head!  That is, after another triathlon on Saturday :)

Just have to make it through this week of work!  Have a sunny week!
