Girls Getaway Trip!

At the end of Week 20, my BFF, Lauren & I took a girls trip to Charleston & Kiawah Island, South Carolina to attend Beth & Jake's wedding! The red heads unite again, finally! 1st thing at 5:30AM at the airport on Friday, "are you girls sisters?" It took almost 12 hours of travel to get to our hotel room in Charleston to take a "disco nap", as Lauren calls it! Ha ha! We were fortunate enough that we got to go to the rehearsal dinner on Kiawah Island, where we reconnected with Beth's siblings & got to know Jake & his family a little better! We got to sight-see & browse around the island to observe the beautiful ocean-view mansions! It was like HEAVEN on a golf course slash island!


Amazing homes on the island.

Don't you think it looks like a postcard?


A beautiful family of deer crossing the street in the neighbor hood.


This is the closest that we have ever been to a deer. Definitely not scared of people!















Our buddy Lindsey that played tennis with Beth in hs.




Lauren & I did some more investigating on culture of Charleston on Saturday & went down to the attractions at Market St to experience some fine dining at the Original Charleston Crab House. We ordered a seafood sampler & neither of knew how to eat the steamed snow crab legs...I needed some scissors! We bought some souvenirs from the vendors & enjoyed the no humidity weather of SC! Boy, we had a GREAT time! We made it to the wedding back on the island & it was truly a dreamy site! The 3 course meal was a highlight & danced the night away with the rocking band...Lauren even broke out her MJ Beat It moves! I just LOVE me some Lauren...she is the life of the party!! It could not have been a better weekend spent with my best red headed gal!

Half-way there...Week 19-22

Here are the lastest preggo pics:



Week 19



Week 20



Week 21, this is the week Sean 1st felt our baby move! She is getting so BIG & strong, it's AMAZING!!



Week 22, Maggie went with me to a MD appt on July 22nd & everything looks normal & great! Her heartbeat was 160! Definitely a little girl! =) I have gained 8 lbs total!




We have been busy around the Lowery house thinking about little girl things such as the nursery..cribs, paint colors, bedding & everything else! We need to make some important decisions in the next few weeks due to we do not have that much more time before she gets here! We are over half way there & we can't believe how time has flown by these last couple of weeks! Sean said that I am getting ready for the "nesting" phase! It maybe early, but I am trying to get prepared!!

We also have been trying to come up with our little girl's name! We have not decided on a name yet for our little girl, but we have narrowed it down to 3 names: Hayden, Audrey (my grandmother Stewart's middle name) & Nora (Sean's grandmother Roussel's 1st name)! It maybe a combo of some of these names! Let us know what you think!
