I dont know what it is, blame it on the pregnancy, but I have been feeling a little down lately and just in a funk. Nate and I NEVER go anywhere for a vacation or even just a little getaway. Since we have so so so so so many endless medical bills we are constantly paying for, money always seems to be non-existent! We have now had Coast in our family for 2 years, and ever since, Nate and I have never gone anywhere without him! Really! I have never even spent a night away from him. So I decided that Nate and I really needed to be alone and focus on each other for just 1 night. Last Friday early evening we dropped the boy off at Nana and Gramps house, and headed up to Park City for a relaxing night. We stayed at the Marriott, went to dinner at Baja Cantina (mmm... so delicious), went and saw the new Robin Hood (fan-tab-u-lous), and we got to sleep in until we wanted to get up! Saturday morning we went swimming in the oh so warm pool, that was the perfect temperature (Coast would have LOVED it), had breakfast at the Morning Ray Cafe, and then went shopping for "bigger" clothes for myself! Of course I cant go up there without buying Coasten some things at Baby Gap, that is seriously the only place we ever find cute clothing for the boy. Call me snobbish, but I cannot stand cutesy little kid clothes, I just cant.. I just cant! I am 16 weeks preggers, and although I adore being pregnant, this is my least favorite stage, I call it "The Chubby Stage". I come from a family of very small women, who are extreemly lucky in being able to bounce back after child bearing very very quickly. Blame it on our genes! This is the stage where I dont fit into my clothes and I definitely dont fit into maternity clothing yet, and I just feel crappy about myself! I dont care who you are, if you are a woman, gaining weight is extreemly hard on the self esteem even if the weight gain is for the greatest blessing.... A BABY! I started this pregnancy off at 103 lbs, and knowing the kind of weight that I gained with Coast, I am a tad nervous! So I guess we can blame all of these strange abnormal feelings, on my hormones... This Mothers Day gift was exactly what I really needed, it recharged my batteries. Oh and yes, I did find some cute "chubby" clothes for my ever growing body!! Thanks for reading my hormonal post... Nate I LOVE you.. Coast too..
Sounds like a great get-away! You deserve it! PS: You make one hot mama! I hated that chubby stage too ... I never gave it up :)
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you two got out on your own... you deserve it, you need it and don't forget to do it again! i love the pics! i feel so bad i still have so many zoo pics with coast. maybe i will just e-mail them to you? those chubby stages suck... but you make anything you wear or accesorize rock, and your beautiful inside AND out... we all see it, even though it's hard to see for yourself sometimes:) love you guys..
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you guys got out! Its so nice to just be with the husband. As Mom's our attention seems to lean towards our kids and it's hard to focus on our husbands when kids are pulling at you from every which way!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, you always do, even at the end with Coast, Shan! Love your body, love the pregnancy, and the wonderful baby that it brings!
How fun that you guys got to get away for the weekend. Especially the sleeping in part! I think you're right,Gaining weight when you're a girl is tough! But I think you always look great. You're always so stylish and look completely put together.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you guys got a night away. Just so you know, you are gorgeous and always look pretty!
ReplyDeleteI hear you! I've felt the same way a lot during this pregnancy. It's not as much of a luxury gaining weight and getting big this time around. I guess we just have to remember that the end result is worth it, but it's definitely hard and I know how you feel!
ReplyDeleteso glad you had a great night away! we all need those for sure! I am with you on the "chubby" stage--no fun! but you are stinkin tiny and darling always! excited to hear what you are having girly!
