29 & 30 weeks

29 weeks was great b/c we went on our babymoon!! Bryan and I enjoyed three wonderful days at Barnsley Gardens up in Adairsville, GA.  We heard wonderful things about it from Franklin and Elizabeth, who've been there a few times.  So when we started looking for places close by, it was near the top of our list.  Our plans were nearly derailed by Bryan's starting schedule at work, but we managed to have it all work out perfectly.  We spent Saturday - Monday at Barnsley, and Bryan flew out Tuesday morning for his orientation in Denver (followed by a ski trip with Alex).

Our time at Barnsley was so refreshing.  We turned the data off on our phones so we didn't check anything online or get any texts.  Sunday was the most beautiful day and we spent almost all of it outside.  We had a picnic lunch and walked along some of the many trails at the resort.  It was really special just to have some time together "off the radar".

The 30th week was pretty smooth.  Bryan was out of town, so I spent some quality time with friends.  Kirsten and I enjoyed a day of shopping, a movie, and great food.  Afterwards, I realized it reminded me a lot of college.  Since both of our husbands were out of town, we had nothing to rush home to, we had no responsibilities, and took full advantage of all of it!  I'm so thankful to have friends like her to share life with.  I also got a number of house projects done while Bryan was out of town.  I was so happy to have him back home on Sunday though.  I always sleep better, and enjoy life more when he's around.  My 30 week dr's appointment was the first one that Bryan didn't go to since he was out of town.  I rotated through to the newest dr in the practice, and really liked her a lot.  As I was explaining to her some about how I was feeling, she said (not in a rude way at all), "So you feel pregnant?"  Hahah - yes, I guess I do.  I've had it so very easy thus far that many of my symptoms are very normal for my stage of pregnancy, but they're not really normal to me.  I'll take it!

Here are some pictures from 29 and 30 weeks.  We actually forgot to take our "official" 29 week picture.  We were so busy with going out of town and Bryan traveling as well that it just slipped past us.  Thankfully, Bryan took some maternity photos of me at Barnsley Gardens so those certainly qualify as our weekly picture. ;)
