Back From Vaca

We arrived home the other night from our Mexico vacation. We had a great, relaxing time and I just love it there. Having to refrain from drinking alcohol wasn't too bad. They made the virgin tropical drinks extra yummy for me. It is one of our last kiddo-free vacations that we will have. Next time in Mexico, we'll be bringing along a third guest.

So I did great on the flights, I didn't get sick at all the whole time, and found plenty of things I could eat (which I was worried about). Had my normal bloat and sleepiness symptoms, but it was fine because I was relaxed and on vacation. I got plenty of sun too.

So, right before we left we spilled the beans to my family by sending the ultrasound pic. Then we let my in-laws in on the secret while in Mexico with them. Everyone is thrilled all the way around, as expected.

Now we're getting ready to spill it to the rest of the world.

Back to Life

We have our house back to ourselves agan. It's nice to get back to routine and all, but it is a little sad to have the house a little emptier after everyone has left.

I just spent last week hosting my mom, brother and sister at my house for some fun. We did all the things you do out here, shopping, visiting the city and heading down the shore for a day. And we were even lucky enough to catch a performance by Mr. H2O's band too. I really had a whole lot of fun while they were here. I only get to see my family once or twice a year, so I need to make the most of it.

Then we dropped lil' sis off in NY and she is heading to South Africa for the next 5 months. She is going to have the most amazing experience there and I am so happy for her. But I already miss her a little too. Spending 8 hours in the car to drop her off and drive back home was a little, well... boring/annoying/monotonous (you spend 8 hours with your mom in a car and tell me how fun it is... really, I love you mom, but in slightly smaller doses).

And though it's a little sad to have the house empty again, it is nice too.
