We are officially back from our jaunt to Mexico… in fact, we’ve already gotten right back into nursery prep mode. Last night we picked up the crib, glider, and ottoman from Babies R Us and did all the caulking around the trim in the nursery. As my Milly (Mother-In-Law) says, 0 to 60 in no time 🙂
But, before I get too far ahead of myself, I have to say, we had a REALLY great trip. After the worst winter ever, it was so nice to feel warmth… and the sun. Oh did I miss the sun. However, I did get pretty damn fried the first day. I really think it has to be partly because of the pregnancy, because wow did I fry. To the point where I had to take extra strength tylenol just to be able to pee.
Beyond that, it was wonderful. We stayed at the Excellence Playa Mujeres and honestly, couldn’t have picked a better resort. We were worried about spring breakers debauchery run-off from Cancun, but didn’t have a single issue. We got a pool or beach lounger whenever we wanted one, the crowd was a lot of couples (due to the adults only status), and there were tons of activities.
We did trap shooting with an air-soft gun, an aloe vera class, played tennis (Mark only), took a yoga class (me only), saw tons of shows (even a Mexican version of Michael Jackson), and relaxed a plenty.
My first time shooting and I was a rockstar! 2 out of 3! Poor husband didn’t hit anything 🙂
Our lovely room.
Exploring Isla Mujeres via golf cart with the hubs. Took a giant catamaran sail boat over to the island for a nice day trip.
MJ is BACK!
Delicious dinner at one of seven restaurants! This was one of our faves… the Italian, Toscana.
The most heavenly few hours EVER.
So, I need a pool and a hammock… no biggy.
We got the sweet baby girl a little outfit from our first out-of-country family vacay!
This could be why I gained so much weight this month… breakfast on our balcony.
Mixing up a mask in our aloe vera class (I’ll post the recipe soon).

Our anniversary! ONE fabulous year with my love.
A special babymoon gift from our concierge. Sparkling cider and a freaky baby cake!
The weirdest and funniest St. Patty’s Day beer tasting event EVER.
Enjoying the balcony on our last morning.
Bon Voyage!
Symptoms
I just had my doctor’s appointment today, which went well. The doc was very surprised (and maybe a little pleased) that I didn’t really have many questions at all. Everything is looking good, although, I did gain a bit of weight this month. She said I needed to put on a little extra because I was low before… but I put on that little extra and then a little extra after that. The nurse said if I get back to my normal eating habits and workout regimen, things will likely even out. Nothing to worry about… but I will definitely not be indulging as I was. EXCEPT for our one-year anniversary cake that is being delivered tonight. SO excited. Our cake lady added the mini cake into our wedding cake package. She made the cutest little design… love birds with eggs in the nest.
Our anniversary cake! Can’t wait to see it (and taste it) tonight!
Other than that, I’m feeling really great! Still have random aches and pains in the back and cramping in my hip, but nothing to complain about. Also, the little nuglette continues to practice her acrobatics in my belly. She is quite the wiggle worm. Oh I just love her. Can’t wait to meet her!! Only 3.5 months left!
Playing House 
You went to Isla Mujeres! That was by far my favorite place in Mexico : ) Love your pictures and that outfit you got your little girl is ADORABLE!!!! Welcome back : )
Thanks! Yeah, Isla Mujeres was super cute and fun to zip around in our golf cart! But, now that we’re back, I’m excited to get back to nursery building 🙂
