29 Week Preggie Update

Happy 29 weeks....and 6 days!  I'm a little behind on the blog post.  Today we had a doctor's appointment and it went well.  The doctor measured my uterus and it's measuring at 30 weeks, so right no schedule, yay!  I'm in my last week of my 6th month and I can't believe I'll be 7 months in 2 weeks. 

Rewind: This week was a long one as we went out of town with family to Edisto Island, South Carolina.  It was nice, relaxing and much needed!  What wasn't fun is the 14 hour drive there and back.  Took a little toll on my expanding body.  We did a historical tour and the beach and just hung out together. 
I also hosted my best friend's bachelorette party this weekend.  We went to brunch, hung out at the hotel, they went swimming, we went to dinner....annnnnd then we all fell asleep, haha.  It was a long and exhausting day not just for me, but for everyone as well, haha.  So I didn't feel too left out being the only one pregnant.  It was also exhausting because I arrived home Friday and the festivities started Saturday.  I can say that I had a great time and had a fun time hanging with all the ladies!
Sorry this post is so short.  It's late and I'm trying to get it done before I'm actually 30 weeks, haha!
