Gabby's first vacation started out in a monsoon! We had to drive about 20 or 30 mph half the way to our condo in Galveston. Gabby could feel the tension and stopped crying once the weather got really scary. Then Michael scooped Gabby out of the car and ran into the condominium. I was in flip flops, so I cautiously walked into the condo. Then Michael ran to the car and got Gabby's bag. The weather was so bad that Gabby actually slept in the bed with us because we never went back out to the car until the next morning. Our Saturday was drizzly so we stayed indoors most of the day. We played putt putt and introduced Gabby to the beach. Sunday, we had a busy day. We went to Ashton Villa (where Michael and I got married) and Gabby took a picture on the staircase with Daddy. Then we went to the beach where Daddy stuck Gabby's feet in the water which incidentally made her cry when waves hit her. So we went to the 1 foot pool and our condo. Michael was holding her and we were debating whether the water was too cold to stick her feet in. When Dennis the Menace ran and jumped into the baby pool, all the while watching to see Gabby's reaction. Gabby cried when she was hit with the cold water, Michael was annoyed by the intentional splashing, so we left without our little angel's feet even touching chlorinated water. We had a fun and relaxing mini vacation. Hopefully Gabby will enjoy her next vacation much more!
Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
