Our Annual Beach Trip

Every year, we make our way to Ft. Myers Beach for a week of fun and relaxation. This is actually where Erik and I met many, many years ago as young kids. Our families have changed quite a bit over the years and it's fun to get together and spend time at the pool and at the beach. Being 9 months pregnant and floating around in the pool each day was especially relaxing! Mia loved it. She doesn't like it when you let go of her in the water, but she LOVES going under. She had a blast jumping off the side of the pool and even requested to go under the water all the time. I have a couple of pictures of her jumping to Erik in the water, but they are on my mom's camera, so I'll have to post those later. Here are a few of her at the beach. We would go over in the evening when the crowd was gone and we didn't have to mess with getting all slathered up with sunscreen.

On another note, I am checking into the hospital in the morning. Because I am only dilated 1 cm, the doctor wants me to come in tomorrow so they can give me cervidil to help soften the cervix. Hopefully with this, my labor will be much shorter than it was with Mia (19 hours!!). Then, Friday morning at 5 am, I'll be induced!! We are really excited to meet this little one. Hopefully, by the beginning of next week I'll have some pictures to post.
