Babymoon!

today's the day that i never thought would get here...jeff and i are leaving for our babymoon! for those of you who don't know, a babymoon is a trip taken by new parents to have some time together before the baby arrives. typically they take this trip during the second trimester so that mom is still comfortable and they can have fun. we're just taking a short trip, squeezing it in before the holidays start.

jeff and i will be going to naples, fl which is a place we visited in may. normally we wouldn't repeat a vacation spot so soon, but we really loved it and had such a calm sense of peace when we were there. we'll be staying at the same hotel too, a waldorf property...oooh la la! it had two pools and is right on the beach which is on the gulf, so calm waters. we're able to take morning walks right on the beach, dipping our toes in the water along the way. being on the gulf, we can watch the sunset every night. naples has a pier that goes far out into the water too so you can walk out to the end and watch the sunset there too. last time we had a dolphin keeping us company. there are also wonderful restaurants and shops in downtown naples that we love to peek in to. i can't wait to be back there.

little updates...i'm finally gaining weight the way i should be which is a relief. unfortunately some of that comes in the form of water weight. i noticed cankles last night! my feet ached so i should have known. it's very reminiscent of the swelling i experienced in my left leg two summers ago after i hurt my knee. hey, at least it's symmetrical swelling this time! a rep at work who has been following our struggle to get pregnant brought us a little gift yesterday...little maryjanes made by uggs!
