For our anniversary, we enjoyed a long weekend at FJ's parents new place in Myrtle Beach. It was sooooo relaxing and the weather was perfect. Of course they all lucked out with a permanent designated driver, but I actually had a great time and along with foregoing any beach cocktails or cocktails with dinner, I also passed up the hangovers and foggy heads!

We left Wednesday night and stayed through Sunday. We ate a ton of food and spent some time in the sun each day whether it was bocci ball on the beach or one of the pools at the resort. FJ actually ate some seafood and liked it and we got a lot of much needed rest.

We broke the news to FJ's parents that we wouldn't be able to join them on their 20th anniversary trip to Europe. We had all planned a Mediterranean cruise and our tickets for the boat and the airfare were already booked. Luckily we are canceling in time to avoid fees. The trip is scheduled for mid September and while I should still be early enough in to travel, we figured that going to a foreign country for a week and the costs associated were not smart decisions given our situation. I was so excited about the trip so I was really sad that we had to cancel.

Before we left we also started planning a housewarming party for June so we're really excited to have people over to see the house and also about the chance to see some of our friends that we haven't been able to see in awhile!!

We have our second doctor's appointment tomorrow and I'm so excited and so nervous all at the same time. Even though everything should be fine and we got rave reviews at the last appointment, there's a small nagging fear that this has all been a dream. If my physical condition is any indication, we are moving right along! Ha ha! I've gained about 4 pounds so far which is in a good range. Especially considering I've slacked off on working out or eating right. The past few days I have had terrible nausea and sickness (not limited to the morning at all). I read an article that said this week (the 10th) is probably going to be the worst as far as feeling tired and nauseas. I hope that's the truth but unfortunately there is no definitive information out there.

Our appointment is at 9:40 tomorrow morning so if everything goes well, we will start spreading the news shortly after! I'm really excited to share the news with friends and family. I'm even more excited to stop being so noncommital and flaky when I'm invited to wine tastings, happy hours and things I would normally jump at! I'm actually pretty proud of myself for keeping the secret for this long. I didn't think I had it in me.
