On the last Tuesday of May, Gabby and I took our first trip to Louisiana. Grandma (Montie) and Great Aunt Ellen rode with us and it was a great trip! Grandma sat in the back seat with Gabby and she did great as long as Grandma gave her a lot of attention. We didn't even have to stop one time! In our 30 hours in Louisiana we were very busy! Gabby and I spent the night at GG's house and of course were spoiled with yummy food and lots of love. Great Aunt Christine and Grandma's friend, Miss Kathy, came to visit Gabby. Then, the next day GG babysat for an hour and I went shopping. Then we went to Great Aunt Mary's house and met the entire Montie clan! It took us over 2 hours to get the 30 miles to their home, and luckily they all waited so they could meet my baby girl. It was wonderful getting to see everyone, because I haven't seen them in about 2 whole years! Gabby was very excited to meet the whole clan (and I of course was happy to show her off). I hope that I get to see the whole family more often. Gabby needs to grow up getting to feel the love that radiates from all sides of our families.
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.
