Cancun Day 7: My Birthday!

I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday somewhere warm. Jaime definitely delivered! It's been so fun being able to go to Cancun with friends. I feel like we're all on the same page. We just wanted to come relax and have fun. No one felt rushed or pressed for a schedule. We planned for a few things and the rest of the time we did what we felt like doing. 

Being served piña coladas poolside by the beach was awesome!


These guys are awesome! The only thing I said I wanted to do on my birthday was have French toast for breakfast (the buffet had some really good French toast.) and have drinks and tacos by the pool. Let me tell you, these guys all helped in doing just that. Crazy thing, the buffet was not getting the French toast refilled! I kept waiting thinking there'd be more. Nothing. Jaime asked a server for it. They said they'd check on it. Dave asked a server, they said they'd check on it. Meredith asked. Amy and Bryan would check the spot the French toast was. Still nothing came! Dave walked in to the kitchen! Said the French toast needed to be refilled. They were determined to get me my French toast. :) Just when I thought I'd have to go without it on my birthday we asked a lady who came to the table about the French toast. She left and came back with a plate of it! Leave it to the women ;) But seriously, I felt so grateful for my friends! What did wasn't much but they wanted me to have what I wanted on my birthday. 

After breakfast we went back to the room to get ready to go to the spa. Amy, Meredith and I went for some pampering. I got a 60 minute massage but after it was done I wished I'd gotten the 90 minute! It was real good. So relaxing. Their spa is real nice. Each massage room is in it's own air conditioned grass hut. Real cute. After the massage we went in to the vapor steam room. It's easier to sit in a steam room when there's eucalyptus vapor. Made it so much easier to breathe and very relaxing. After the steam room we did the water therapy. Dunk yourself into the cold tub, man it was so cold! Then you dip into the warm tub, then into the hot tub. That's where we spent the rest of our spa time just visiting. 

After the spa we went to the pool to swim and hang outside. 
And I made sure to get tacos poolside! 

For dinner we went to La Casona STK. Being it was our second time there I knew exactly what I wanted for dinner. It was delicious. After dinner I was surprised by waiters singing happy birthday and serving me with dessert.

Make a wish...

And now I'm 40. Wow...I don't feel like it.

When we got back to our hotel suite we were greeted with some yummy chocolate strawberries and wine...we passed on the wine. ;)

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
