As much as I can't wait to go into labor and meet this little guy, i am so happy he didn't come on our anniversary! I love having a whole day just to ourselves to remember our beautiful wedding and how lucky we are in our marriage; I would really have been disappointed if that day had to be replaced by a birthday party every year -just being honest ;-)
Our anniversary was awesome this year! We kicked the day off by sleeping in as late as we felt like and letting our bodies wake us up, not our iphones. Then, while still laying in bed, Aaron pulled my present out of his nightstand, a super gorgeous necklace that I had been looking at online weeks ago.
Then we took our time getting out of bed, and made a delicious pancake breakfast; complete with my very first time at making home-made iced coffee. Why haven't I been doing this all my life?!
Luckily, God blessed our anniversary with AMAZING weather, mid 80's with not one single cloud in the sky; so Aaron and I decided to take advantage and get a head-start on our 2014 suntans by hitting the pool. I was extremely hesitant to pull out one of my bikinis since they have not seen the light of day since my first trimester, and I really am not a fan of girls flaunting their bare pregnant bellies in public. But Aaron assured me that we would probably be the only people at the pool and I had no reason to be embarrassed, that I looked adorable - I'm sure he chuckled silently to himself as he turned around and left the bedroom.
Luckily he was right, we were the only people there. And the sun felt amazing.
I couldn't believe the profile of my shadow! Was NOT expecting that when I looked down.
After showers and rest at home, we went down to Tampa to the mall for some shopping. I am way too close to the end of my pregnancy to waste any money on maternity clothes, but I also didn't want to buy any skinny clothes because God knows how long it will be before I can wear them. Aaron didn't want anything for himself either, so by process of elimination we ended up in babyGap! I am in love with their Paddington Bear collection, not to mention the idea of matching the baby with Aaron in a white button up and khakis. Swoon <3
After that, it was a short walk over to the Cheesecake Factory for a romantic dinner-for-two and a couple slices of cheesecake to-go. We got home just in time to lay on the couch, watch a movie and force-feed ourselves some cheesecake.
Overall an amazing anniversary. Next year something a little more adventurous might be fun - hopefully involving a plane or boat ride somewhere - but for being 9 months pregnant I think we did pretty well. All day I kept having people tell me "enjoy your alone time because you won't be able to do this once the baby comes!".... but something tells me we have more than enough local babysitters who are willing to hang out with this kid for a few hours while mommy and daddy visit the cheesecake factory =)
Almost forgot - we got a super adorable text message from our smallest nephew that just made my day.
