South Carolina Trip

So during our last appointment, we recorded the heartbeat for my Mom and Dad to hear since they live so far away from us. We also had ultrasound pictures from our peek. It takes us 10 hours to get to my parents house from Louisville. We decided to go to South Carolina for 10 days and over Easter. It was a great trip, very fun and so good to see my family. I haven't been home since last Thanksgiving. I definitely wanted my family to see my belly before I went into labor. They couldn't miss seeing me during my whole pregnancy. My Mom is definitely coming to stay with us for a week when the baby is born. She is going to buy a plane ticket to get here. It will be her first time to ever fly. Hopefully, the rest of my family will drive up over a long weekend and visit and then my Mom and ride back to SC with them. We watched a lot of movies with my family, played Family Feud on DVD, grilled out a lot, and ate at some fun places in Loris, North Myrtle Beach, and Conway. Matt and I were able to have a special time for just the two of us while we were in SC. We were able to spend a long weekend in Charleston, SC. I absolutely love Charleston. It is so beautiful. The city has so much history and charm. We walked around a lot and ate a lot. We are praying about moving to South Carolina for a year before we move overseas, when Matt finishes seminary and maybe even Charleston. Matt only has 30 hours left, so we think we will be in Louisvlle for about another year and a half. He has already registered for classes this semester. This makes me a little nervous. There are going to be a lot changes going on all at once for us. Matt will be working full-time, taking 9 hours at the seminary and we will have our baby. WOW!!! We are definitely in for a surprise! haha! We couldn't be happier though. We are finding out what we are having in two weeks. I will keep you all updated!!! :-) Everything still feels so surreal, even though I have heard the heartbeat, seen a peek, and even felt movements. Pray that God would prepare us to be godly parents.
