Babymoon

Monday, November 19, 2012

This past weekend we enjoyed driving further south for our "babymoon."  We had a great time being lazy, eating yummy food, and getting lots of sun by the pool.  It was nice to take some time to just be together, not talking about baby stuff, holidays, or work...just chill, and that is exactly what we did!
The first night we had some delicious key lime pie.  I have never seen such a thing.  Clearly, it was awesome.  We were in the corner of the lounge sipping on decaf coffee and sharing dessert, while there were some older adults across the room all dressed up sipping on cocktails.  We couldn't help but laugh at ourselves...dessert, decaf, and early bed time is just how we roll (especially after a long week of work!) ;)
We had some "iffy" weather, but both days turned out to be great.  There was plenty of sun with a nice breeze.  We enjoyed lunch at the pool both days, and ordered the fish tacos each time...they were seriously delicious..mmm..still thinking about them!
 
  This a nice little shot of Matty at dinner. We went to the same restaurant as last year when we came to celebrate our anniversary.

 This picture shows the view from our room. We slept with the window open.  I loved falling asleep to the ocean waves. (Especially since I need all the help I can get with falling asleep these days!)
 
I made a proposal to Matt that maybe we should have a Babymoon #2 for after the baby arrives.  haha  We will just have to see about that!  Only EIGHT more weeks until the baby is due.  Now its time to enjoy the holidays for a little while until our little girl makes her appearance.
 
 
Oh...and now for some embarrassing moments as a preggo lady...
 
1-So most people know that its very common to have to use the restroom very frequently when your pregnant...My students know this best of all because I am constantly running to the restroom between classes every day.  Well, I have gotten pretty fast with the bathroom routine at this point.  Anyhow, one day I rushed back from the bathroom to meet my class at the door.  As I was standing there, one of the teachers across the hall came up to me and said, "I promise I wasn't checking you out or anything, but you shirt is tucked into your butt."  Might I add, that I was wearing maternity pants so you could see the elastic waist band.  hahaha  Man, am I thankful she was the one who pointed it out and not my entire class of students!
 
2-Its official that I am the biggest cluts in the world.  I have lost all fine motor skills and I am pretty sure I have lost some brain cells as well.  Unfortuntately, Matt has to witness all of this.  I am constantly dropping things in the kitchen, bumping into things, and mixing up my words.  Sheesh!  The latest mishap was this morning when I dropped honey on the ground...yes...probably the worst thing to spill! 
 
Hope you had a good laugh! :)  I have defintely learned to just laugh at this point!


I can't believe you ate all my halloween candy!

It has been almost a year since we moved down here!  I can't believe it.  So much has happened since we moved, and it feels like we have been down here for longer than year...in a good way.  I suppose it was a smoother transition than we expected :)
Lately we have been trying to enjoy the luxuries of being 'dinks' (double income, no kids ;)  The picture above is of us in front of "Mount Everest" (can't really see it in the pic) at Disney.  Other things we have been up to...
 
-Matt has been training for a half marathon in December (something I will probably never do, but good for you hunny!)
-We had our very first tricker treaters EVER this Halloween!  We also made a rookie mistake of leaving the bowl out with candy when we left the house...(Kids are so greedy these days!  I wanted the leftovers!  Speaking of no Halloween candy...Matt and I enjoyed watching this youtube clip a few times hehe) 
-We have also been working at getting the nursery together...I will post some pics soon. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here I am at almost 31 weeks!  The baby weighs as much as four navel oranges and is over 16 inches in length, head to heel.  The count down begins!  In the next couple of weeks we are looking forward to a little "babymoon" and Thanksgiving up north with family.  These will be our last trips for a little while.  We can't wait to meet our little girl! 

Baby Shower

Saturday, November 3, 2012

A couple of weeks ago I had my first baby shower with Matt's family.  It was fun to see everyone and get a dose of the Fall weather (and then return to sunny, warmer weather :)  Here are some pictures that Aunt Katherine took!
 
Great Grandma, Grandma McCauley, me, Aunt Kesley, and Great Aunt Katherine
 This little girl will have plenty of clothes!
Polly made this cute little quilt for her!

I am sure you can figure out what is happening here. haha  Baby is making her presence known!

Thanks for putting together such a special shower, Kelsey and Polly!
