Hello everybody! This past week, Jeremy and I were in South Carolina visiting Michelle and her family. We had so much fun! We wish we were still there. Jeremy even told me that he could live there because it was so nice and the humidity wasn't as bad as he thought. I could live there too. Michelle, looks like we are moving in with you! :)
We stayed there for six days and went to Myrtle Beach, Chimney Rock, Hollywild, Cowpen's Battlefield, a very good BBQ restaurant plus some other good restaurants, Talon's baseball game, Strawberry Hill USA, and then hung out around their house. The weather was perfect except Saturday felt like 90 degrees which is just a little hot when you are out in the sun all day. We can't wait to go back!
I had another doctor's appointment as soon as I came back, but the doctor had to deliver a baby so I didn't get much information. After about 10 minutes of listening and trying to find the baby's heartbeat, we finally heard it. He is still beating strong. They measured my stomach/uterus and I believe they said 18 cm, but that is big for only being 16 weeks. So maybe I misheard them. That same day was my first experience of swollen ankles for the next week. Holly cow do they get big and stiff. Luckily they are back to normal now, but I am sure I will see them again.
Here are some pictures of our trip....
The waves were so big because of a tropical storm coming in. Luckily it didn't hit until we had already left. They kept telling people to get out of the water. So we had fun playing on the beach digging holes, building walls and sand castles and burying all the kids in the sand with only their heads sticking out. Very sandy but lots of fun!
This is the roughly 1600 ft staircase that goes up to Chimney Rock since their elevator was broken. Let me tell you, I almost didn't make it several times. Michelle said it is like exercising on the stair master machine at the gym.. No it is like death. Ha Ha! But the view from the top was all worth it. After going back down, we went on a hike to the waterfalls nearby which of course are always beautiful.
Of course we had to go to Hollywild to show Jeremy all the famous animals. It took a lot of convincing, but he finally decided to go which is good because I don't think he wants to go back. It is always a fun experience, it is just a little run down and sort of ghetto, but an experience you can't miss!
Hope everyone is doing great! We love you all!
