What can I say? I've officially entered the third trimester and cannot believe how fast time is flying by. In between cleaning and organizing our entire house like a crazy person, we've also started going to Lamaze classes and researching local day cares. It's madness, I tell ya!
One of the things that has kept me going is being able to curl up on the couch each night with this sweet little guy...he used to love sleeping in my lap but now that my belly has gotten in the way, he's adjusted to sleeping beside it with his arms outstretched. Almost as if he is trying to hug his little sister! I'm not sure if Pancho actually knows that she's there but I think baby girl sure does, judging by the number of kicks I get once he starts snoring next to her....I have to admit, the whole thing does melt my heart a little:)
We were lucky to be able to spend a long weekend in Sedona for our babymoon and it was exactly what we needed. The surroundings were simply breathtaking - from the scenic views of the red rock canyons to the cool crisp air and starry night skies - it was all so relaxing. Here are some photos of our trip if you'd like to see...

Kyle and I are off on a quick little weekend trip to Sedona and we couldn't be more excited. Have you been before? We are staying at the Enchantment Resort, which is nestled in a secluded canyon..."surrounded by red-rock formations known for inspiring the mind, body and spirit." Eek, how relaxing does that sound?! At least I hope so...we've heard good things and can't wait to just sit around and do nothing.
I can't believe I am already six months along (well, my giant belly says otherwise)...our baby will be here before we know it. I'm going to try my best not to think about all the things we still have to do before she arrives and just enjoy our last trip as a family of two:)
Have a great weekend!
It's a little funny to me that the only thing I've craved so far in my pregnancy is dessert...well, basically anything sweet. From candy to cookies to cakes to ice cream...it's all I can think about!* This coming from someone who was all about the salty snacks pre-pregnancy (salt & vinegar chips anyone???). I guess someone is trying to tell me that it's never too early for her to have a sweet tooth;)
But I saw this cheesecake while browsing online a few days ago and for some reason keep coming back to it. I just think it's beautiful and boy oh boy *mouthwatering*. Not to mention, it's raw! Anyone have some spare figs lying around that they'd like to send me...
*Literally as I'm typing this, I am using all of my strength and willpower to not devour the 3 boxes of girl scout cookies that Kyle brought home yesterday...

Last week on Instagram, I told the whole world that Kyle and I are expecting a baby girl! We've actually known for several weeks now, thanks to all the new technology around prenatal testing that's available out there....and while I'm still as excited as on the day we found out, it's only now starting to really sink in. Maybe it's the hormones, but I get weepy inside when I start thinking about her and just how much she will change our lives. I can't wait to be there for her as a mom, to dress her up as my mini me:), to teach her how to bake blueberry muffins (among other things), to help her get over her first broken heart, to see her succeed and fail at various obstacles in life, to watch her fall in love, get married, and maybe even have kids of her own someday.
At the early stages of the pregnancy, I was mostly scared at the thought of me not being ready to raise a baby...but now all I can think about is how much I wish I could just fast forward through the next few months and have her be here already!! It's funny how quickly things can change...;)
I'm back!! And with some exciting news to share as you can see:)
I don't want to blame my blogging absence entirely on my pregnancy, but let's just say it did play a large part. Thankfully, I'm now in my second trimester and the constant nausea and throwing up is no longer an issue, hooray!
Kyle and I are over the moon about this baby and we can't wait, even with all the general craziness and sleep deprivation that comes with being new parents (or so we've heard). Poor Pancho doesn't know what's in store yet but lately, he's been resting his head next to my growing belly each night...so I'm thinking deep down he knows and is getting ready for his role as furry big brother;)
Wishing you all a safe and happy new year!
