Babymoon

What a wonderful month June has turned out to be. The 2nd was my official last day working at Sassy Nails. Bittersweet! I will miss my co-workers and my clients, and I'm sure I will soon miss the social interaction it brought me everyday, but for now I am enjoying the break. I cant believe how quickly it has gone! I'm already 18 weeks and the doc says I can call it my half way marker. I'm confident I will make it to at least 36 weeks, he told me my body was made for baby bearing. Thank you? We decided to scramble and make the most of our precious pre-children moments that will soon be gone. We started looking at places to visit when Stephens mom and dad offered us a free place to stay in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. How can you pass that up? You don't:) So in a matter of 2 weeks we bought plane tickets and got ready to go. When you have time sensitive matter growing inside you, you cant really put things off! We had a wonderful time. Our days consisted of sleeping in, eating, pool time, eating, nap time, pool time, eating, walking around, watching the NBA finals, eating, more resting, more walking, and eating. It is so much fun to plop yourself in the middle of an unknown city and get out and explore! See new things! And in mexico, you definitely see new things. Our condo was at the top of a hill, so to go anywhere we walked down 81 old brick steps to the center of the city. Those first few days, after not much working out for the past 4 months, I almost died. This pregnant girl was sucking wind walking up those suckers! It was embarrassing. Stephen had me doing my yoga breathing and taking lots of breaks. But after a few days of going up and down those a few times a day I was taking those stairs like a champ! It felt good to get out and move around, wore me out like crazy especially with the heat but it still felt good. Pool time we often spent in the shade reading, that sun takes it right out of you! Very relaxing. I think I won the wife of the year award when we watched all 5 games of the NBA finals on our babymoon. I actually liked watching them. As long as we had a movie to switch back and forth with:)The only time it rained was at night, which was kind of nice actually. It cooled everything off. One night there was the most insane thunder storm! I literally thought the earth was going to split in half. I had never heard thunder like that, ever! And the lightning, I don't thing there was ever a break. It looked like daylight. It started around 1 AM and Stephen and I just sat and watched and listened. The amount of rain was incredible. Very cool storm. And I'm glad they were at night so we could enjoy the sunshine every day:) Here are a few images to help you visualize our 2 weeks. While eating dinner these guys just came trotting down the street, we found it hilarious. They almost got ran over by taxi's. While walking down the boardwalk, very pretty sunsets. There were only a few nights we were still out when the sun went down, sunsets were around 9PM so I was usually getting ready for bed or watching a movie. I wasn't ever scared in mexico, but I didnt love walking around after dark. This river flowed into the ocean, all the locals swam in it. There was even a passed out drunk guy on the bank (at least I hope he was passed out and not dead) The bump. I think my babies like mexico. The Panoramic shot we got while eating at the roof top restaurant El Panorama! It was recommended to us by my baby doctor. These are the stairs I was telling you about! It was gorgeous but a long way to the bottom. I'm so grateful to my in laws for giving us this awesome trip! We are so blessed. These babies are so blessed. I am looking forward to the rest of the summer! And really really cant wait till Monday to find out what the other gender is! Its torture only knowing one! Keep you posted:)
