Home again

Well, we are home again. We went back to the beach for one last time this weekend. I have to say it was a better trip than last time, and I think the first time we've been to the beach and one of us hasn't been sick or injured. I do have some pictures, but I thought I would post some older ones first since I'm so behind. We had to come back yesterday afternoon since I had a doctor's appointment. He said everything was going well, and next time I have to do the glucose tolerance test and start the rotation of doctors. I have to go back the week of Thanksgiving, which is kind of bummy. Anyway, while we were out of town, we got news that our furniture was in! Yay! We have to go pick that up sometime, and I guess soon the decorating will start. Madelyn has been super active today. We learned something about her this weekend - human touch calms her down (or scares her one, but I'm going with calming). Although, she did get agitated with David touching her the other morning & kicked him. I was laying on my side kind of curled up, and she didn't appreciate my leg touching my belly, and didn't appreciated any more when he touched my belly. It was quite funny though. It can be hard to work sometimes when I would rather feel her moving around that do the 8,000 things I need to do. Work has been going well, this week is just kind of crazy since I was off yesterday and the health fair is tomorrow, and I had meetings today and Thursday. Friday *may* be normal, we'll see. Well, I don't have much else to post. So here are some pictures of when my family was here...in the meantime, I am majorly in the mood for a new look for the blog - any ideas?

My dad, aunt Sharon, and uncle Michael with my great-grandmother. Everyone has always said that my aunt and I favor quite a bit. Actually, I got called Sharon a lot that weekend, and one of my great-aunts wasn't paying terribly much attention and thought I was her. And you know my dad can't take a serious picture...

Left-to-right: my great-aunt Pearl, my grandmother, my great-aunt Marie, me, and Sophie (otherwise known as mini-me).

Me, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother.

Trent and David - Trent really bonds with David when they're together, which is odd considering his personality. He's had a rough time to say the least.

Michael and his wife, Kim. They live in Atlanta, so we might get to see them again when we go in January (family twice in 3 months? Are you kidding me? This never happens!).

I totally understand the whole movement thing. And it doesn't change with pregnancies. Whether the first or the second, each time they moved I wanted to stop and do nothing but laugh and talk to them...well until Felicity started to stretch by anchoring her foot against my ribs and then pushing with her whole might (literally). You could see my ribs start moving out and then incredible pain... then I would have to push or pop her foot (hey, she had lots of cushion)...because lil' bebes can break your ribs (it happened with Natalie Hobbs and another friend)... and this would not have been good with tylenol as my only friend (; Other than that, yeah, I loved the movement. I can't wait to see you on Saturday! Ok, I'm rambling...

Ok, wait, I though the guy on the right was your dad! He is on the left of that first pic! No wonder I though the hair was weird. I thought that Michael was your dad in the picture...you can tell why I told you it didn't even look like your dad!That is because it wasn't your Dad!!! Silly me! (:
