"First Lady Michelle Obama brings back the cardigan."

Please people. This was an article written in the Houston chronicle that I saw while getting the car cleaned at  Mister Carwash today. I'm pretty sure I've been sporting cardigans for like hm 10 years? Michelle could never be the next Jackie O., sorry. It is so funny to me how all the liberal celeb stylists are trying to make her into a fashionista. We all loved J.Crew before she started wearing it! I certainly don't pick up Us Weekly hoping to run across a picture of Michelle for outfit tips, and I hope you don't either.

Anyway, hope everyone had a nice weekend! Today marks the beginning of my 34th week of pregnancy! I'm getting excited and trying decide when the appropriate time is to wash all his baby clothes, install the car seat, try out the breast pump (just kidding on that one), & all of those other little tasks! According to all the baby books I've been flipping through, this is the last time I will ever sleep. So, I guess I'll start taking one more nap than I already do each day. 

One last thing, for those of you who don't know, we have found a house that we love and have put a contract on it! If everything goes accordingly, our closing date will be June 11. I will share more on that later! But I cannot wait to have our own little home ,and I find myself daydreaming about how exactly I am going to decorate!

Babymoon

We spent the last three days at the Hyatt Hillcountry resort in San Antonio  relaxing, eating delicious breakfasts, and walking (or waddling) around the  lovely area. Jason is so precious for taking me on a special trip before the baby arrives! It was neat because we were able to redeem a couple of  his applause awards, that he earned this spring, for gift certificates at the Hyatt.  They paid for all three nights  at the resort. On top of that, the Hyatt was offering a "3 for free" package during the month of May where if you stay two nights, you get the third night free! Included in the package was breakfast every morning. We loved getting omelettes, waffles, fresh fruits, and french-pressed coffee every morning. The resort was empty the whole time we were there, which was really enjoyable. We definitely recommend taking a trip there and cannot wait to take out kids there someday! We decided that we had to have some Mexican food while we were there, so we headed down to the river walk on Monday night. After passing one Mexican restaurant after the other, we stopped in at the Iron Cactus for fajitas. We had such a great time talking about little Hudson and what it is going to be like to be parents!  It's weird to think that in a month and a half  our lives will be changed forever. We walked on down the walk  toward the river center, where I can remember hanging out as a kid. Nothing has changed about that area-the river barges with cheesy tour guides taking  you up and down the river, the really bad mall, and the music that sounds like a bunch of recorders playing loudly for all to hear. Needless to say, we left shortly after . Way cooler when you are five. It was fun to laugh about though. I promised Jason that I would not make him shop while on our special vacation together. Of course, that kind of fell through. It was very muggy and cloudy on Tuesday, so we ended up driving 15 minutes to an upscale shopping area called The Shops at La Cantera. He was so sweet for letting us go, and he even let me play in Anthropologie while he sat and played bubble breaker. I love looking in that store, even though right now I cannot fit in anything they have-so sad. We played with fancy coffee makers in William Sonoma and tried out couches in Pottery Barn. The trip was so nice-our last little getaway! We both decided that if we had waited any longer to go, I would have been unable to enjoy it due to my extreme preggers state.

Our very own cappuccinos

Jason brought out our espresso maker the other night and decided we should try to make our own fancy coffee drinks. One of our favorite things to do together is to snuggle up on the couch and drink coffee. Many may know that I have an expensive habit and that is my daily fix of an iced grande latte from Starbucks (with one splenda & a dash of cinnamon). I decided that I would try to support my habit some at home. We ground up some espresso beans-you should try illy. After pouring in a shot of espresso in each of our mugs, we filled the rest with steamed milk and foam! Jason put a tablespoon of vanilla syrup in each and topped them off with caramel. So yummy! I've had one three days in a row. It's no secret that you can do this at home-I was just really surprised at how much I enjoyed it and wanted to share! I think it would be fun to visit central market or Sur la table and stock up on more coffee supplies! Oh, and I promise it's okay to have caffeine when you are pregnant =)
