Celebrating it all

Last weekend Paul and I traveled to Beaufort, SC to celebrate our 30th birthdays (a little belated, but better late than never), our 7th wedding anniversary, and our baby moon.
Beaufort is a cute town, and we really enjoyed walking around the main street, and along a new trail. The town is really old, like Revolutionary War old, and there are some gorgeous old homes, cemeteries, and parks. We spent the mornings exploring and walking, and then spent the afternoons resting, something neither of us do much of anymore! It was actually really nice to just be lazy and have nothing to do. :) Plus, we were able to walk to a great ice cream shop down the road and the inn we stayed at had homemade pies every night for guests - at 35 weeks pregnant, I was not about to pass either of those up (don't judge)!
The Rhett House Inn where we stayed. 

The Spanish Moss Trail - great for walking! 

Hudson got to spend the weekend with his Gigi and Papa, and I don't think he really missed us that much! He had a blast going on bike rides with Papa, swimming at the pool, trying new foods (Gigi is a great cook!), taking walks around the block, and playing with new/different toys. It was hard leaving him for so long, but he did really well, and now we know that we can leave him and we'll all be ok!
Trying corn on the cob with Papa! 
Not so sure about all the people and the pool,
but glad to see that he at least got in and tried swimming with Papa. 
Baby Reid #2 is doing great! I am now 36 weeks along and everything is on track! It is really hard to believe that he will be here with us in 4 weeks! Everybody keeps asking if we're ready - and the answer is yes and no. Yes, we're ready for him to be here, but technically, maybe not so much. We don't have the car seat, bouncy seat, swing, or infant clothes pulled out yet, nor is my hospital bag packed. But, we're also just ready to have him with us and to start our lives as a family of four. I'm anxious again about the all nighters and how Hudson will adjust, but we will figure it out one day at a time. We have a lot of support, and for that we are very grateful!


All we can say now is we'll keep everyone updated and informed as "the day" gets closer! Hudson was induced 2 days late, so there's no telling when this little boy will make his debut. Prayers for a safe and healthy (and optimally quick) delivery would be greatly appreciated!

God Bless
