Our room, our view, and a bed that rivals the comfiness of our own! It was so cozy!
16 floors up makes for a pretty view, but it was a little frightening

What a wonderful weekend we had...
Our ultrasound with Dr. R went very well ~ Dr. R said he is really in amazement, that he was expecting Maddie's kidney to "blow up" (a term that I could have done without). She has a cystocele where the right ureter joins the bladder, so it's almost certain that her cysts are being caused by a malplacement of the ureter into the bladder. It should be simple to fix and shouldn't cause any trouble. We meet with the pediatric urologist next Friday to see what he has to say. As far as the fun part of the ultrasound, Madelyn was blinking her eyes and taking practice breaths! She was licking her lips and opening her mouth (in the video below). The sonographer tried to get some good 4-D images, but the little stinker had her hands in front of her face (also in a video below!). She weighed in at an estimated 4lbs 2oz and her size is 31 weeks 6 days (actual dates are only 29 weeks 4 days). Her foot measured nearly two inches long! It was a perfect start to a perfect weekend. The San Luis was beautiful, the Gulf was as blue as it gets, and at 71 degrees you couldn't ask for nicer weather. Our room was on the 16th floor which made for a beautiful view. I was a little intimidated by the balcony, imagining myself plummeting to the pavement below every time I went out there. I have no idea why my mind does that...it was scary. We enjoyed good seafood, good Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and found a tasty little hole-in-the-wall place that had really good authentic Greek food (which has been tough to find in Texas). Our mini getaway was just what we needed - no dogs, no cats, no cleaning, no work to do - just happiness together.
XOXO
