Pregnancy: Week 23


Wow! I absolutely cannot believe that I am already 24 weeks as of yesterday. This pregnancy is flying by! When we first found out that little man was on his way, I thought for sure the whole process would be long and grueling but honestly, it is anything but! Yes, there are uncomfortable moments, but for the most part, the days just fly by and I have really enjoyed my pregnancy, thus far. He is so much more mobile now and responds to things around him, especially country music. (no surprise there!) I came back home from Texas last Friday and Zach's family took us on vacation to Myrtle Beach this past week. It was so nice to actually be able to spend some time together after being apart for the month. It was Zach's first time being able to feel Dakota kick and his reaction was priceless! Everytime he hears Koda's heartbeat, feels him kick, sees him on ultrasound, or really, anytime anything having to do with Koda comes up, Zach gets this look of pure happiness on his face. It is impossible to match and is one of my favorite things in the world to see. Here's my update!

How far along? 24 Weeks as of yesterday

Myrtle Beach
Our vacation with Zach's family was so much fun! We got to spend the whole week visiting boardwalks, beaches, and parks. =] If you ever get the chance to go, I highly recommend it! But, I would also recommend saving up lots of money! LOL! There are lots of nice restaurants and attractions, but most of them were a bit too pricey for us, at this time. We are planning on going back, though, to do some of the things that we couldn't this time. Like, check out the Ripley's aquarium! The boardwalks that they have are really nice, especially Broadway at the Beach. There was a smaller one closer to where we were staying, but we didn't enjoy that one quite as much. There were lots of people there hounding you to go on some tour  and 'get paid'....whatever...and people would stand at the doors of their shops and try to talk you into coming in and if you kept walking, they'd get kind of rude! Other than that though, it was pretty enjoyable and opens up right onto the beach.We did go out to dinner one night, just us, at a place called Gulf Stream Cafe, and got a picture.
