The Great Bambino and the Forgotten Coast

We are back from a wonderful vacation to the "Forgotten Coast" in Florida.  Kelsey, my sister, came with us and it was wonderful.  We literally had the beach to ourselves!  Warm weather...warm water...very little waves...thousands of shells everywhere you look.  We rented a little cottage that wasn't so little- 3 bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer...it was fantastic.  It was the first time we've been away without traveling to see family.

On another note, we had another doctor's appointment yesterday.  I don't know what I was thinking scheduling an appointment for 8:30 in the morning the day after we get back from Florida!  But anyway...I digress.  I had another ultrasound and Baby was measuring larger than they expected, so I'm probably more like 11 weeks than 9.  Yippee!  I was very excited at that!  We also could already see Bambino moving all over...kicking arms and legs...and heard a good, strong heartbeat.  It will never cease to amaze me.  Growing a life is truly amazing and humbling.  Thank you, Lord, for entrusting us humans with this!  If I ever find the power cord for our scanner (buried in a box, still, after almost a year), then I will upload some pictures!
