Thursday afternoon, Chris and I decided we needed to take a mini vacation before Eli gets here. We had originally planned on camping Friday night and with temperatures dipping down into the 40s overnight we changed plans. I called around and made some reservations for Branson for the weekend. It was kind of hard. Most places were booked up because of a bike rally that was in town.
We went to Celebration City Friday night. It was perfect for Dylan. There were several rides he could do by himself and some with Chris. Of course, I got to sit on the sidelines and take pictures because pregnant women aren't really suggested to get on these kinds of things. The extent of my fun was the carousel and ferris wheel. I loved watching the boys smile and laugh on all their rides and took advantage of the picture taking opportunities.
We spent the night at Ramada and then shopped a little Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon we headed to our next hotel, the Grand Country Inn. They have an indoor water park. Dylan loved playing in the water. We spent a couple hours there in the early afternoon and went back for a couple more after dinner. Chris even took us to eat ice cream late Saturday evening. We sat in the back of the Highlander watching all the cars and motorcycles go by while spooning our very delicious oreo overload ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. Yum, yum!
Sunday we went to church at Talking Rocks Road Baptist Church and then headed home for the afternoon. Our church was not having evening services to do some special events and so we enjoyed an evening at home of mowing the lawn and relaxing on the front porch. It was a great weekend.
Yesterday, we went to the doctor. I wasn't going to have to go back for 3 weeks until Dr. Ting came in. He said my belly isn't growing enough although my weight gain looks ok. So, next week I get to go back for another ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing and healthy. If he hadn't done the exact same thing with Dylan's pregnancy I would be worried. But, we've been there, done that and Dylan came out fine. So, we'll go and have an ultrasound done which is great anyway because we'll get to see Eli. Everything will be fine and then I'll have to go again in two weeks and then I'll be down to weekly visits. I can't believe it is so close. It seems like there is so much to do, but I guess there really isn't. We just have a few things left to purchase and we'll be good to go.
Not much going on this weekend. If it doesn't rain we're going to take Dylan fishing or hiking. He loves both! Monday we're going to grill out at our house with some family and friends. Hope you have a fun and safe Memorial Day Weekend!
