Every year, my family goes to Holden Beach, NC, which is probably one of my favorite places to be. My family has been going for more than 30 years... my first trip was at the ripe age of 4 months, 28 years ago. This was probably the first year in almost 10 years that I couldn't drink at the beach (insert my saddest face here... I missed some margaritas!!), but it really wasn't that bad, and hubby came in with Amber O'Douls in the clutch for when I was craving the taste of beer.
My week consisted of a whole lotta laying around on the beach, reading, napping, and just relaxing. I was pretty much terrified of the ocean, which is new to me, because I was so worried about hurting the babies. The wind was really bad most of the week, so the waves were rough, and I just couldn't get out past the breakers to what I considered a safe distance, so instead, I spent a lot of time in the surf to cool off. Overall, the vacation was very needed. I swear, I wish I lived at the beach, but I am guessing the novelty wears off when you are too close.
Our close friends in Richmond watched Layla for us. I don't know how I am EVER going to be able to leave the boys for an extended period of time. I know its the hormones but I was tearing up leaving her last Saturday, and the whole car ride to the Ric this weekend, all I could say was "I can't wait to see Layla". She was SO happy to see us, and she's been back by my side ever since.
We spent the night in the Ric on Saturday just hanging with our friends, and made it back to DC about 5 minutes before it started pouring down rain (thank God, because the luggage was on the top of the car).
This morning, I had an ultrasound... I'm gonna forgo discussion for now. Everything is good, but I haven't had a chance to get the pictures online. So I'll do that tonight and be sure to post. Instead, I'll leave you with a bump shot... its from today, at 23w1d (although both boys are still measuring big, at 23w6d). I'm definitely starting to feel like a fatty, but I am at least embracing it more!

ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a lot of L's in that house! Lucas, Lane, Layla, Linsay! :) I was happy our girls names didn't sound like any of our dogs or our names! I always call them one anothers name as it is.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun trip! I understand leaving the dog, we went to Snowshoe while on fertility treatments and I cried the whole time because I was worried about our dogs. I think they didn't even notice we were gone!
