Home from Vacation!

We just got home last night from a wonderful trip to Jamaica! After 4 nights and 5 days I feel rested and relaxed. It was just heaven and the biggest treat that my husband could give me! It was so nice to just enjoy eachother and the fact that right now we still can getaway easily. In about 3 months or so that will all change!

One thing that I did while on this trip that I HAVE to share with all those mothers to be, would be the book that I read. If you haven't already read Becoming Babywise, then you should. My sister turned me on to it after she did it with her little girl. It is all about putting your newborn on a schedule. It gets them regulated and sleeping through the night much sooner than normal. It goes through and tells you the do's and don'ts and seriously it makes so much sense after reading it. I think that all parents should read it before having a baby. I have seen it work for many of our friends and family. Hey if it gets them sleeping through the night sooner than why not give it a try. It's an easyy read too!

Other news is that while we were gone we started being able to actually see Baby R move from just looking at my belly. It was super cool. I loved that Manny could see it while it was happening. He still moves all the time. I love it though! :) We go in a little over a week for our next visit. I'll be sure to post pictures from our trip as soon as we get them uploaded.

Days are flying by...

I can't believe that we are almost to the end of May. Where has the time gone? I feel like we just skipped right past Spring this year. Part of me doesn't mind it though, cause that means it's closer and closer to the day that I get to meet this little one!

I had my monthly doctors appointment yesterday and everything checked out great. "Baby R" is doing well and growing at a great pace! He measures right on target. It was as always wonderful to hear his little heartbeat that has now gotten much stronger!

Lately it seems that all he does is move. He moves a lot at church on Sunday's when my Dad is preaching! I wonder if I have a future preacher on my hands?!? It's so fun to already feel like you have such a connection to this little baby that you haven't even met. I can only imagine how amazing it will be when he is actually here.

We have been staying super busy this month though. Lots of Weddings and Trips! We are getting ready to go on a "Babymoon" to Jamaica which Manny and I are both really looking forward to. It'll be nice to just get away and relax. I don't imagine us going on too many trips once "Baby R" is here. I'll be sure to post pics from the trip though.

On a side note I hope it is ok for me to throw a prayer request out there...We are in the midst of trying to sell our current home while we build our new home. In all honesty I have really been wrestling with trusting God on this one. I know he has it under control, but at the end of the day I just can't give it to him. I would truly covet your prayers. Just to know and remember that His timing is perfect and that he is a God of Details. I think about all of the other areas of my life that I have put my faith and trust in Him, so I shouldn't stop now. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest! :)
