Or rather, there we were. The trip to CA for Alison's wedding certainly was eventful! Here are a few highlights:
On doctor's orders, I had to get out of the car every 2 hours & walk for 15 minutes. That doesn't sound difficult until you actually try to find somewhere to walk while on the road! So I got to know the truck stops very well...and people were quite curious about the pregnant woman power-walking around the building 27 times! Here's Dave and I braving the elements on my first walk in Wells, NV (it was 34 degrees out!)
I also wore compression socks while in the car to keep from getting blood clots. Those babies are a bit tight! Here's me putting them on for the LAST time at the very end of the trip.
It all seemed worth it when we got to Vegas and saw a beautiful sight: In-N-Out Burger. Ah, the tastiness!
And if the pending nuptials weren't enough, I gave everyone something extra to get excited about: I caught a stomach virus & got horribly ill, and spent most of Saturday at the Torrance Memorial Medical Center! I was dehydrated & having contractions, so they had to keep me for awhile to run tests. Everything turned out just fine & I made it to the wedding (even stayed standing the whole time!), but I gave us all a little scare. Yuck!
It was a great trip, though - the wedding was beautiful and my sister was absolutely gorgeous (Austin wasn't bad looking, either!) Congratulations to the newlyweds!
