Big Belly Big Post

Well we're 30 week folks! Hooray! Each week it's becoming much more of a reality.  Soon you all won't have to call him Baby Boy McG but his actual name! So this post will be a little long, but a lot has happened in a week.

Baby is doing well - we had an appointment today and everything looks good.  I'm doing okay too.  It's becoming harder and harder to get comfortable and I have acquired leg pain on my left side.  Not really sciatica but maybe a hamstring strain.  Mostly hurts at night when I get out of bed to go to the bathroom.  I'm weighing in at about 110 (Oh my gosh...) and still have yet to buy maternity clothes (I know... I just can't do it okay?). Braxton Hick Contractions are my new best friend and make my stomach look so strange and make me have to pee all the more... BIG news: We bought a BOB! I emphasize big cause it's a big stroller for sure.  Makes Andy's bike look like a toy.  I'm excited to use it though and think it will stand up to running with a baby and a crazy dog.

We went on our Babymoon this past week and got back yesterday.  It was a lot of fun and VERY tiring... We got to sleep in a lot which was awesome cause I wasn't sleeping very well due to my leg.  We went to the Oregon Coast.  We started in Newport which ended up kinda being our favorite spot because the beach was amazing there.  We had great weather on Wednesday and found a great beach and walked a ways on it and then just sat and watched surfers for a while.  We stopped in Lincoln City at the outlet mall and got Andy and Baby some new clothes.  Baby Boy got his first button up collared shirt!  Then we made our way to the Tillamook Cheese factory.  Which was pretty cool, but by then my feet were killing me.
Our next destination was Seaside and so for the next couple of days we explored Cannon Beach, Seaside and Astoria.  We did a 2.6 mile hike in Ecola State Park which was very pretty but by the end all I wanted to do was curl up and sleep forever.  We went to the Maritime Museum and got to tour a few ships which was fun.  And Cape Disappointment turned out to be a disappointment for us because you had to hike a mile to it and I was in no mood or shape to do any more walking...
We also went to Portland and went to the zoo which I miss zoo's greatly, but the walking again was just brutal. We followed the zoo with a nice nap back at the hotel before dinner at Deschutes Brewery where we had a elk burger to relive our days in Idaho.  Then yesterday we woke up super late, packed up and headed to Voodoo donuts in which I saw the line and said heck no (Andy's already been there) my feet are done.  So we ended our trip with a trip to Ikea and then headed home.  Tired. *It was really a fun trip and I did really enjoy it- even though the way I wrote this seems like I didn't*  Buckley was very excited to have us back (or it might have been that my body pillow was back so that he could snuggle up to that at night).

One more thing real quick and then some pictures... I updated our loan sheet today and we are BELOW 30,000! Hooray! Now enjoy some pictures.

Yes the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back in my life.  Mmm...

Whew... 2.6 miles ALL up hill... =)
