Mom & Dad R's visit to Florida

Mom & Dad R. just left today, back to Indiana. Their plane got delayed for a couple of hours due to snow in Pennsylvania. But they made it home safe...and back to shoveling snow much to their dismay! We really had a great visit when they were here. The weather was great for the first couple of days - perfect Florida "winter". Tuesday it rained all day, even had a tornado in Cocoa Beach to which we were totally oblivious, if you can believe that. I guess it was all the baby clothes shopping that was distracting us! We got Baby Hartsell's first onesie - it's very cute! We bought Cousin Alexia a outfit or two, just because we couldn't help ourselves! Mom and Dad bought me my first two matternity shirts, which was very special for me. I had the whole day off work on Tuesday, so Mom an Dad and I made a day of it and met Brent for dinner at Meg O' Malley's (aka best Irish Pub in the world). I was sad to see them leave, of course, but look forward to our next visit! Maybe I'll be fatter then!

My first doctor appointment was on Tuesday. Dad took me and even waited in the waiting room. It was so nice to have his company and support. This appointment was with the OB Coordinator, Kim. She is so nice and she took my health history, answered my questions, and just gave me a little more info on what to expect. She gave me new prenatal vitamins, which is prescription strength and they are huge horse pills! My next appointment is scheduled for March 7th. Brent and I will go together to this appointment. It will be about two hours and we will have our first ultrasound. They will be able to tell baby's age best at that time and give me the most accurate due date. We will get the black and white ultrasound pictures to take home with us - how exciting!! March 7th is actually the day I fly to Indianapolis for "Spring Fling" at Joan's. So I'll have baby pictures in hand to share!

Hope everyone is doing well - thinking of all my family and friends. Remember to say prayers for baby!
