Sunny Florida and Doctor Appt.

Just before leaving for sunny Florida we went to our monthly doctor visit where we heard the heart beat again, a strong 157 at 17 weeks!

Last week we spent time in St. Pete Beach with Chris's sister Michelle and fiance Kevin. The beautiful condo (thanks to Dr. & Mrs. Green) was right on the beach and had a pool with shade which was awesome b/c it was about 90 degrees outside every single day! We ate at a few restaurants that we ate at about 7 years ago when we were here for a wedding, include one on the water called Gators (photo below).

We spent lots of time walking the beach, well at least the first 2 days until Chris got sore feet and picking up shells, swimming out to the sand bar during low tide and eating!! I'm pretty sure my belly grew a lot this week. Especially since we are pushing 19 weeks now (almost 1/2 way there and I can't believe it). Kevin is the master of the grill and grilled out some awesome fish for us which was great and saved us some $$ too!!

Photo is of Chris and Michelle looking for shells! I spent a lot of time reading and sitting in the shade, it was almost too hot for me!

One of the best things we did was putt-putt golf. We played 2 times and the first time I beat Chris and the second time we tied, so really I never lost to him, woohoo!!

The other highlight of the week was going to Raymond James Stadium (where the TampaBay Bucs play) and watching the ESPN Thursday night game of USF vs. UC play (University of South Florida vs. University of Cincinnati). The interesting thing that happened at the game was that I felt Baby P kick for the first time. I think it had something to do with all the eating we did all week and having a full belly!! Very amazing for sure!


The day before we left a cold front came in and it rained on our last day in FL. The morning we left it was under 60 degrees, brrrrr!!!

Thanks for reading!
