Johnathon and I spent the last week in Key West with our Hatfield family. There is a big Halloween festival that we got to be apart of called Fantasy Fest. Thousands and thousands of people travel to Key West to go Fantasy Fest. People walk the streets dressed up in costume, not dressed up in costume, in their birthday suits or in painted costumes. It was quite the adventure and experience. One night Johnathon dressed up in his usual short shorts and tight tank top with a bright blue crazy wig. The next night was toga night, so John and I dressed in our Roman attire. The third night was a march from the Key West cemetery to Duval Street (the Main Street in town), so we dressed up like He-man and She-ra, which was one of Johnathon's favorite cartoons/comics growing up. The last night was a big parade where the locals put floats together and toss beads into the crowd, like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We had such a great time, spent with great people. Most importantly I got to relax, which means baby got to relax. We had a few hiccups getting home, which I am pretty sure was related to the awful weather the Northeast was having. While in Key West it rained off and on, and was windy but we weren't too affected by the hurricane.
I have to brag and share a story with everyone. We flew from Key West into Atlanta, then to SFO. During our layover, while trying to get onto the concourse train, a gentleman collapsed to the floor and had a cardiac arrest. I at first thought the man had merely passed out, but when I took a look at him his lips were blue......so I began CPR. I did CPR for probably 10-15 minutes before paramedics showed up. I don' know if he was ever revived but I walked away knowing that I did what I could with the knowledge that I have. But it's kind of funny the thoughts that cross your mind when you are in the heat of the moment. While doing CPR on this guy, the thought crossed my mind....."what is a pregnant women doing CPR in an aiport concourse train doing"....I kind of felt like a pregnant "badass."
On another note, baby has turned 13 weeks and has begun rapidly growing. Baby is now 3 inches long and weighs about an ounce. It is the size of small peach. Can you believe it baby went from a size of lime to the size of a peach in one week. I have a feeling that this little one is going to start really showing and popping out of my belly soon. A very cool development this week for baby is that it's fingerprints have formed and now has it's own identification.
The big question that Johnathon and I keep getting asked, and I am sure I will get asked lots more is: do we have names picked out......the answer is no. Johnathon and I have decided to not waste our brain power on picking out a name until we know the sex of the baby. So family and friends since I have made that announcement just maybe the question won't be asked (ya right.....I know I'm dreaming).
We hope the family is doing great; living happy and healthy. Our next appointment with the doctor is November 9th.....just a week away!
