Mexico!

     Holla!  We are back from our wonderful and much needed Mexican vacation.  We went with my family, which included S and I, my mom and step-dad, my brother and his wife, and my youngest brother.  We had way to much fun.  We stayed in a really nice all inclusive resort right outside of Playa Del Carmen.  All we did was drink (not S though, don’t worry), eat, and float in some sort of water.  Paradise.  Luckily for S, she felt pretty good I’d say about 75% of the time we were there and didn’t get sick on the plane.  She did get sick on her 30th birthday though, which was Sunday.  Boo.

     While we were there, S thinks that she felt the baby move.  She thinks that she has been feeling it a bit for the past week now, but its just little pings here and there and a few flutters.  She doesn’t seem too look very pregnant yet, which I know is frustrating her, she wants to look pregnant now!  But she will be getting there soon, I think.

     On the way back into the US, we got our carry on bags searched in customs.  The guy searching S’s bag found all of her snacks (she was worried about times between meals at the resort and brought a ton of stuff to hold her over, which ended up being a good thing) and saw that she had a bunch of peanut butter crackers and asked if he could have a pack, “for security purposes”.  Too funny.  Of course she gave them to him.

  Not a lot of other fun stories to tell, we mostly relaxed while in Mexico.  I’ll leave with you with a few pictures.

15th Week Belly Shot!

I’m in love with S’s beautiful baby belly, which is totally not shrinking by the way, that is all in her head.  It’s getting bigger everyday and I can’t wait until she is just popping out of her clothes, though I’m sure she isn’t looking forward to that with the same zest that I am.  Here is her 15^th week belly.  I couldn’t decide which picture I liked best, so you get both today J.  

Later this week I think that we are going to buy a crib!  It looks like unless you buy an expensive crib that you can’t really just go out and buy one, all of the stores around here seem to just sell them online and ship to the store or your house.  And it also looks like at least on the lower end, which is what we are looking for, Target, Walmart, and Babies-R-Us all carry about the same stuff for about the same price.  So I guess we are going to go to Babies-R-Us to look them over and then compare prices at home and pick one out.  I’m really excited for this!  Having a crib in the room is going to make this all seem very real.  I’ve been looking at bedding and have a few things picked out that I like, but I don’t think that we are going to buy really much of anything else (other than the crib) until after the baby showers and after all of the hand me downs come in from friends and family.  It’s really hard to resist though, it’s all so dang cute!

Next week is Mexico time, and it just can’t come soon enough.  I want to be sitting on the beach or in the water, sipping a tropical drink while the sunsets over head.  It’s going to be wonderful.  And I’m really looking forward to spending some quality time with both S and my darling family.  We leave Saturday morning, at the crack of dawn, literally, and then are in Mexico till Wednesday night.  Yay!
