Virgin Daiquiris On Burbon Street

I hope everyone had a happy Mardi Gras! I wasn't able to drink, of course, but I still partied it up with the family. On Lundi Gras, I made it to Burbon Street where Joshua and I met with my family and then I surprised myself when I was able to walk all around the quarter and back, and then up to Canal to meet up with Joshua's parents. We went out there around noon and I didn't get home until 10:30pm! I was half dead by the time I made it to bed and I could barely walk the next day, but gosh darn it I celebrated Mardi Gras 8 months pregnant! And yep, they actually had one place that sold virgin daiquiris on Burbon Street. Hopefully, I'll get some pictures from my daddy soon so I can post them.

Last Friday was my first exam with the doctor and although it was uncomfortable, it went pretty well. He checked my cervix which was still closed and thick so he's not expecting Beckham to poke his head out anytime soon. I'm secretly hoping that all that walking I did on Monday will help him come a little faster! My weight gain was 3lbs for a total of 35lbs so far, and my current weight is 150lbs.

Saturday was my mom's birthday and I totally pigged out on crawfish and chocolate milk. I know it's a strange combo but everyone was drinking and I was seriously craving a chocolate daiquiri. Anyway, this was a special birthday for my mom because she was able to feel Beckham move for the first time. Every time I would feel him move, I would call to her to come feel but as soon as she would lay her hands on me, he would stop. Finally at the end of the night, she sat next to me with her hands on my belly while we talked and he suddenly started moving and wouldn't stop. I actually got some video of him moving today! Hopefully I can figure out a way to get it on here.
