babymoon.

this weekend was our 'babymoon' where we went to san antonio for a 2-night stay right across the street from the alamo. in fact, i surprised chris with this weekend and he didn't even know where we were headed until we were on i-35 going south. i had told him i had a date night planned for us on friday. what he didn't know was that it would involve driving an hour south for our last getaway before the baby arrives. it was intended to be a weekend of relaxation and where we could just spend time together and it was exactly that. we mostly stayed in our room and watched football all weekend. i bought 3 boxes of theater candy and we enjoyed the sweets while we were lazy. i also packed food so we could eat in and save money for breakfast and lunch. we went out to dinner last night on the riverwalk and had ice cream afterwards. perhaps it was the rainy weather in san antonio, but there really wasn't much to do besides walk around the riverwalk. after we did that, we just went back to the hotel for more football. :) it was nice to sleep a lot and not have any worries.

after a hearty breakfast we hit the road this morning and got back home around noon. we missed marlow, of course, but he was in good hands with friends that stayed at our house this weekend. he's been super cuddly the rest of the day, staying nearby where ever we are.

chris was motivated to do some deep cleaning today and how could i say no to that? he vacuumed the ceilings (love having popcorn ceilings that collect so much dust), the baseboards and trim, and did a thorough job sprucing up most of the house. he did the hard stuff, which was great, because i can handle the normal cleaning this week. do men also nest before a baby? if so, i think this was his day for it.

all in all, it was a great weekend soaking up time with my husband whom i love so much. he's going to be a great daddy and i am most excited to see his heart captivated by his little girl.
