My parents have been serving a mission for the past 18 months in West Virginia. They wrapped up their time there and came down to Florida for a little relaxation and visitation. They timed it pretty well, catching the last shuttle launch by Atlantis. It was wonderful to have their company in our home. I felt bad for being my pregnant self. I still like my rest and not my food. We had some great walk-talks and George got to take them up on a chopper ride. They visited the space center and we got in some great beach and pool time. George even taught my mom how to skim board! I tried it...not a good idea...maybe my center of gravity is changing?
The last launch for Atlantis - it actually lands this morning in an hour.

The manatees showing off for us. There were about 10 of them eating on the edge of the river.

Lovely beach time! Thank you for making the trip down to see us. We LOVE you!!
On the pregnancy front...the past few days have been pretty good. The twelve weeks before that...not so good. I didn't know pregnancy could be so miserable. But recently I made it a whole week without puking, although it still happens occasionally. The nausea is there most of the time. We get to find out in less than two weeks whether a boy or girl will be joining our family. I put a poll up on the side bar if you want to vote. George still knows its a boy :) We've pre-named the baby Ichabod...much better than calling it "it" for now, don't you think? And I guess I'm showing, last week two strangers asked when I was due. Scrubs hide it pretty well tho :)
And on the school front...the last portion for CFI is taking more time/money than we thought, which stinketh. But after some bumps in the road George officially has an instructor and is flying as I type. We'll have a bonafide, certified, helicopter pilot instructor on our hands before we know it!
