Happy 4 years to us!

Wow- what a fun, yet busy weekend we just wrapped up. On this past Thursday, Brian and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! This was the last one we would celebrate with only the two of us!

Thursday-

Brian went to work for the day, as always, and I chose to have a "trophy wife" day at the pool with some of my favorite girls. (It's a tough job, but someones gotta do it!) The weather was absolutely perfect, the water was just right, and holy smokes I may have even gotten a little tan. Look out. After enjoying several hours laughing and cackling (what we do best), I headed home to greet my man and get ready for our dinner date. We had a fantastic evening and Brian had told me that he had a little getaway planned for us. How cute! The next day we would travel to Cleveland.

Friday-

After working a few hours in the morning, we packed a few things and got on the road to Cleveland. The drive went pretty quickly and we were soon at Legacy Village. Let the shopping begin! We walked around and I kept getting sucked into all the kid's clothing stores. ewww boy! I found my favorite store in the whole wide world... http://www.janieandjack.com/ . I could have easily gone nuts, but Brian was there to keep me and my wallet in check. I can't wait to dress her in all the cute things they have to offer!!! After shopping for a few hours we decided to dine at CPK ( a huge favorite of mine right now) and head to Cheesecake Factory for dessert-to-go afterwards. That was an amazing idea. I had Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake and Brian had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake. We took our dessert to our hotel and demolished it in 6.3 seconds flat. Mmmmm.

Saturday(25 wks)-

First, I will say that I probably got the best night of sleep I have had since before I was preggo. The bed was just the right amount of comfort and I claimed the side of the bed closest to the bathroom. Double score! I pretty much slept like a baby until mine decided she was going to have a mini Zumba session at 6am. Wow...I mean, I know she has started moving alot lately, and we've even gotten to see her at times, but daaaang. She was using every organ within reach as her personal trampoline and I just imagined her swinging from my intestines like Jane looking for her own Tarzan. It was pretty much impossible to go back to sleep, so I woke up Brian, insisting that he check out his little girl's crazy behavior. Secretly it was way fun. So we got dressed and started the day off with the complimentary breakfast offered at the hotel. We got down there just as they finished cooking everything, so our food was really good. After an amazing breakfast, we headed back up to the room to relax for a bit until the mall opened. I took a much needed nap and Brian caught up on his ESPN highlights. ZZZzzzzzzz

Now that I was rested, we packed everything up and headed for the mall. We shopped around some more until it was time for our pampering session. Brian had scheduled us for a couples massage, which was also much needed!!! Our girls were both good matches for each of us- the hour went by so quickly :**( Now that we were feeling oh-so-good it was time to feed the pregnant lady, so off to PF Chang's we went! I forgot how much I miss eating there! We had a great lunch and then got on the road for home, which included one final stop along the way at Cold Stone for a tasty treat. For me: Chocolate ice cream with Kit Kat mixed in. For Brian: Cake Batter ice cream with Reece's Cup & Marshmallows mixed in. Wow, I'm salivating while I'm typing this. Too bad it's midnight, or I might have asked Brian to run up there and get me some!

That pretty much sums up our anniversary. We had a great time together as always and we are looking forward to many more exciting anniversaries with our new little addition. Life is perfect when you get to spend it with your best friend. Love you B!!

I am currently at 25wks 1 day and still feeling great. I'm so happy to be back to my normal activity; taking walks, occasionally dropping in on my friends' Zumba classes, etc. Bexleigh is such a wild woman and it is so cool to be able to see her movement now. She is most active in the morning and right after meals, but she truly is a wiggle worm non-stop. She is going to be soooo tired when she comes out! We also discovered that she likes Lady GaGa (LOL) so we've been jamming to her lately on the ipod. I've currently gained 25 lbs and that blows my mind. We were told that she is weighing in around 1lb 14oz, which was what my nephew was when he was born at 25 weeks. I couldn't imagine having her come out right now and thanking God everyday that Reno is healthy and happy. We were also told that she is "Frank" breech right now- which means she is finally head up-butt down, but her legs are up by her head, in front of her face. She's quite the Cirque du Soleil girl. All of her vitals look great and her heartbeat was around 150-155. Our next appointment will be the Sugar test to see if I show signs for Gestational Diabetes. Let's hope that I do not, because those who know me know that I ALREADY struggle in the eating department due to my picky-ness. This would only be a disaster for me.

Our first baby shower will be next month--can't wait!!

Have a good week, Readers!!
