Monday-Mom and Dad got in late Sunday night, they left after Caleb's baby dedication. Dad and I played golf at the Frog which was really fun. The course was in awesome shape and we both played well. Mom graded essays all day, Bonnie worked. We had Mellow Mushrooms for dinner and watched Kentucky beat Kansas for the national championship. The highlight of the day was telling them about Bean,we decided on telling them during the prayer for dinner. Mom almost fainted into Bonnie when I said it
Tuesday- Bonnie worked in the morning and the three of us went to the Cyclorama at Grant Park. Bonnie and I went to the first doctor's appointment for Bean while my parents worked on killing all the bees in our backyard. It was so excited to meet our little friend!
The appointment went very well and we really liked Dr. Cook. She was very personal and answered a lot of our questions. It was a surreal feeling to look at the ultrasound and see Bean, needless to say a fair amount of angst quickly turned to joy. 7.4 weeks is about a week older than we thought, they gave us a November 16th due date and we were thinking it would be Thanksgiving. That little heart is beating 163 times a minute! I have been 50/50 on gender since the get go but once we saw the ultrasound I sure thought Bean looked like a boy, they seemed to lean toward girl b/c of the heartbeat. We'll see. So cool!
We got home and celebrated with my parents at Agave. It was really fun to have them here during these few days and they were helpful in lots of ways as always.
Wednesday- Dad and I dropped Bonnie off and played nine holes at North Fulton, then they took off around 10. I went to get my teeth cleaned, then to an eye exam, then back to get 3 cavities filled. Tommy Taylor got here just before I got home, we dropped Ruby off at the Arrowoods, then picked up Bonnie and headed south to the Beach! Besides the 13 miles a gallon in the Jeep it was a fun ride, we got to Coop's at about 2 in the morning after picking up Vanessa in Ocala.
Thursday- Before Bonnie and Vanessa left for the condo from Coop's she told her the news, here is the reaction...
Tommy and I fried ourselves by playing 2 and a half hours of tennis while we waited on Cooper to get home from school, fun but deadly. We got to the condo, got some bocce in while the girls laid out, and had a nice spaghetti dinner.
Thursday-Sunday- Lots of golf, gulf, beach, bocce ball, cornhole, IUopoly, Tiger, Masters, Kite Runner, pizza, frisbee, laying out, and football.
We had a great break but are absolutely wiped out. We got up at 4:30 this morning to drive so Tommy could get up north by a respectable time. Got home from Easter service tonight in time to see Bubba win the Masters. Time for bed. No doctors appointment until next Tuesday, Bean is the size of an Olive though how crazy !
