our last travels.

this past weekend, brady & i took off on our last travels together just me and him.

we've gone a lot of places together and are the perfect travel sidekicks. it was bittersweet knowing that this season of our lives is coming to a halt soon, and the next time we take off on an adventure we'll have a baby sister with us!!  so exciting, but a little bittersweet too (and how in the heck am i going to travel alone with two?! it may be awhile...).  anyway, we went to davis california to see our friends the jacksons!  we had a really great weekend together playing & snuggling.

babymoon 2015.

mike & i just got back from an AWESOME babymoon to riviera maya, mexico!!

we went away for four nights/five days of total relaxation. stayed at an all-inclusive resort and did nothing but eat really good food, read books & relax.  oh, and listen to the ocean waves. it was absolutely perfect & much needed. we have had a super busy couple of months with work and school, and the time to reconnect and just enjoy uninterrupted time together was priceless. also, the escape from february in colorado was much appreciated:)  we had such a good time celebrating this little pregnancy & all we have to look forward to this coming year!  i turned 20 weeks while we were there, halfway done! (or more than, if baby girl comes early like B did)

enjoyed my FIRST cup of coffee since october!! the perfect place to enjoy one!

20 weeks : 2/6/2015

 meanwhile, back at the ranch...

aunt janie came to stay with bubby while we were gone. as you can tell, they hardly like each other! these two had a great weekend together & we were so grateful to know he was having a fun staycation while we vacationed!

17 weeks.

brady & i just got back from a perfect long weekend in san diego. it was so amazing to get away from the cold colorado winter & get some sun on our faces.  we played nonstop at the beach a couple days we were there, and enjoyed the park across from the knecht's house.  we ate outside a lot, took good naps, and breathed deep in the salty warm air.

while i was there i turned 17 weeks with baby girl! i'm definitely looking pregnant these days and have gained 8 pounds so far. i feel great, lots of energy back & besides avoiding coffee still - back to normal eating.  so grateful for a great weekend away and for feeling so good growing this little one inside me.
