My brother in-law and sister in-law surprised my nephew, Brandon with a trip to Sunset Beach, North Carolina with all his uncle's and sister in-law's in celebration of his high school graduation. The trip was amazing especially being able to spend a week with your family. I've posted some of my favorite photos while vacationing....

17.5 and counting....
Hey fam and friends! How's everyone's summer going so far? Well, the start of our summer marked the half way point of our pregnancy and we are hanging in there! Not so thrilled about the storching 100 degree weather, but I'm keeping my cool and drinking plenty of water.
I'm hear to say that my 17.5 week check-up/wellness appointment was on June 17, 2010 and went very well as expected. Although, the morning of my appointment I became very nauseous, broke out in sweats and was literally sick to my stomach. No fun at all, and scared me. Luckily, once we arrived at my OB-GYN office, they were able to check for any other symptoms or problems and thank God, I was in the clear...and did I mention to you this was 2 days before my scheduled vacation to Myrtle Beach? My doc instructed me to drink plenty of clear fluids followed by eating bland food. If for some reason I wasn't able to hold anything down for 48 hours, my doc wanted me to schedule a follow-up appointment. It was either morning sickness, granted I never got in my first trimester or a 24 hour flu bug/virus. All is well now!
Minutes later, we were able to hear Baby B's heartbeat again. Hearing my doc say "well, the baby's heartbeat is healthy and strong" is great news and reassurance that everything is going to be alright. Oh how I love hearing his/her heartbeat. Knowing that a tiny person is growing inside of you is by far the most precious thing in this world as I'm sure all you mom's and dad's out there can attest to.
Next milestone is right around the corner on July 20 at 22 weeks! This is a very BIG day for Jonathan and I. It'll be our second to last ultrasound performed by a radiologist to find out Baby B's gender, along with my regular 4 week check-up! Votes are in and appear to be equally divided between a boy and a girl, so at this point - I'm lost for words, but that will change in a couple weeks! Bright pink or colbalt blue...which is it guys?
Until next time...xo, JB2!
