~Babymoon~

Kyle and I have been working hard, watching the weeks pass by, waiting for Miss Princess to make her debut.  Yes, I know we have several more months, but when you count down something by weeks, they seem to move in fast forward mode.  We were looking at the schedule of the weekends during the months to come and there is something planned for almost every one of them... so, Kyle planned a babymoon!!  A babymoon is a "honeymoon" for a couple prior to starting their family and vacations slow down for awhile.  The week before we left, I actually got really sick and couldn't get out of bed.  I thought this was going to ruin our babymoon, but Kyle secretly planned the entire thing!  : )

We decided to go to Minneapolis and we had soo much fun!  It was great to get away for the weekend. We shopped for Baby Girl, ate incredible food, and relaxed in fancy hotels. Kyle got amazing deals on these over the top hotels!  We were put on the executive level and had special access to food, drinks, and stunning views of the city.  

The first hotel was very upscale and modern.

Walking downtown Minneapolis

There was even a telephone by the toilet.... we were both confused. 

Went went shopping at the Mall of America and Ikea.

Kyle, before shopping.... 

Kyle, after shopping! haha~ Ikea was a good place to rest!

We also experienced some fine dining! :)

Gluten free pasta... yes, please!!

And, Gluten-free blueberry pancakes= Happy Girl~

The Pancake House, where the omelets took up the entire plate. (don't worry, we shared!)

We ate dinner at an old Irish pub.  The atmosphere was so cool!

We had such a great time that we are already planning our next small getaway!  Back in cold, snowy Omaha, the kitties are soaking up all of Dad's attention before his hands are too busy holding his Princess.

We had our last monthly appointment.  From here on out, we have to check in every 2 weeks until she arrives. Yikes!  She is growing well and we pasted all our tests with flying colors.  However, she is laying horizontal in my belly (which is positioning her into more of a breech position) AND it was decided that she is further along than we originally thought, so her due date was moved up a week.  :-/

As always, thank you for following our journey through this blog.  I will leave you with a picture of her sweet little face.  She has a round nose, puffy lips, and her tiny hands were tucked up under her chin the entire time.  

Blessings to everyone!  

Love from our family~
