Week 18: The bump emerges - in Florida!

Well it could have been all the good eating or possibly the fact that I was in a lot of waist-free dresses that let it all expand as needed, but I really think I've got a bump!  (Yes, I may be slightly pushing it out, but hey I'm a Frost at heart, exaggerating is in our nature.)  That and I also think I have felt a few "flutters" along with some pressure in the belly region.  Could have also been the flight, which I have decided Baby Morse did not enjoy, unfortunately. 

The trip to Florida was primarily for work, where I attended the Commodity Classic tradeshow and worked our company's booth.  I'll spare you those highly exciting photos and overview.  Eric went out and played while I was hard at work, so to even things out, we spent a few days doing what pregnant ladies do best - lying with our feet up, concentrating on as close to nothing as possible while listening to the waves crash against the shore.  We managed to do pretty well in Clearwater Beach.

So, here's me showing off my fabulous new "curve" at the beach!  It just so happens there were TONS of pregnant ladies at our same hotel, which was kind of in a quieter location, off the main drag.

Here was our view pretty much every day.  Yes, we sprung for the cabanas and chairs two days out of three - I discovered quickly that lying on the sand doesn't do a lot for back support.  Also something different about this trip was that we didn't lay out at the pool at all.  Too loud and morning chair snatching was pretty competitive.  So we opted for front row seats to the saltwater.  Seemed to drown out any loud kids, drunk ladies, and teenagers on their cell phones blabbing about what the latest Facebook drama is.  Don't worry, there was a lady from our hotel that came by periodically with her drink truck to sell Eric beer and me ice for my water.  Yes, it was a perfect indulgence.

And of course, we had to at least have one big outing and do a sunset cruise on a giant sailboat our last night in Clearwater!  (Note, my hair is obviously blowing around furiously - I haven't completely given up on making an effort to look good -- yet!)
