36 weeks, a babymoon and a birthday

We hit the 36 week mark. C.R.A.Z.Y!!!! This little man is still a mover and a shaker so I guess he still has enough room in there for his daily yoga/tai kwan do/cartwheel rituals. Mike's 30th birthday is tomorrow so we decided to go stay in Austin to celebrate - and for our last get-a-way before the little man joins the world. We went to the La Villa Vista which is an italian villa/bed and breakfast right on Lake Travis. And, it was beautiful! Here's a shot of Lake Travis from the pool.

We actually got a second free night too. When we arrived at check-in, there was a HUGE party going on...it was only supposed to be a small party with 20 for a couple of hours. But it turned into a large party of over 40 until 9:00pm!! We also couldn't use most of the house because the party took over. So, the owner apologized and gave us an extra night. Yes, please! The next day greeted us with rain on the Lake, a leisurely morning of reading, a liesurely lunch on the Lake at the Oasis, and a liesurely time of reading by the pool for a couple of hours. See a theme? Leisure was the key! It was a great time of relaxation and just being with one another. We also noticed how much we missed our Bella. We have a "rhythm" as a family of 3 (soon to be 4) - so although it was fantastic to be alone with Mike, we sure did miss our little gal. She's still with the grandparents though and i'm sure is loving going to the zoo and playing and seeing the animals and playing some more...


Here's an updated 36 week picture. Let me tell you - no-panel maternity skinny jeans are the most comfortable things in the world. Seriously, fellow prego-women, go get you some! I'm lovin' the belly button sticking out! I'm also LOVING the looks i'm getting. A friend at church told me I was radiant the other day. I sure do feel it!! Overwhelmed - Thankful - are words that certainly describe this past week! This little man has definetely dropped too. So we wait and see....


Last week, our amazing photographer, Jade Pierce, did maternity/family shots for us. You can check out her website here. Here's a sneak peak of what's to come. I can't WAIT to see the rest of these! Have a happy week everyone!
