Babymoon and Doctor Appointments

We had absolutely so much fun this weekend!!! We got to hang out with some friends Wednesday night. Thursday, we checked into our hotel and did the riverwalk thing and shopped a bit. We saw Million Dollar Baby - which is a great movie - and had dinner at a steakhouse on the riverwalk. I can't remember the name of it. Oh, and when we got back to our room, they had delivered chocolate covered strawberries for us. :) Friday, Cary had to work a bit in the morning, so I slept in and watched TV. Then once we got around, we went to the Spanish Market and had lunch at Mi Tierra's - yum! That night, we got to see Allison Krauss and Union Station in concert and we had tickets in the center of the TENTH ROW!!!! It was such a good concert - one of the best I've been to - and they were so funny! FUN!!! FUN!!! Saturday, we had breakfast in bed, which by the way is one of my very favorite things to do in a hotel, and then Cary had set up an appointment for me to have a facial and a manicure. On top of that, which is already fantastic, when I got to my appointment, he had flowers waiting for me with a super sweet card!! Isn't he just the best, most romantic husband!! :) Oh, and the spa was so cool - just like the ones you see in the movies! You get there, and they bring you to this little room and give you a robe and sandals. Once you are changed, they come and bring you water with lemon, and take you to a relaxation room with dim lighting, magazines and soft music. Then you go for your treatment, which is wonderful!! And after your treatment, they bring you more water with lemon and grapes to snack on. It was definitely pampering at it's best!! :) SOOO NICE!! After that, we went and had lunch with our friends Chris and Erica at Zio's. It was so nice to get to catch up with them. They are the kind of friends that even when you don't see each other for a long time, it's easy to pick up right where you left off. Those are some of the best kind, I think. Oh, and then we went shopping at Baby Gap and got Carson's coming home outfit - since this trip was in his honor. It's this great little grass green polo onesie that has stripes across the chest, khaki cargo shorts and socks to match the shirt. Super cute!!

Well, after our fabulous weekend - and all of that food, which I didn't think twice about enjoying, I had a Dr.'s appointment today. I was a little concerned about the dreaded scale. So, I go in and get all of my vitals taken, get on the scale, and it turns out, I lost a pound - go figure. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a correlation here - when I'm careful about what I eat, I gain - however moderately - and when I eat everything I can get my hands on, I lose - or maybe it was just the walking around San Antonio that kept me in check. At any rate, it was a very nice surprise. The rest of the appointment went well. Carson played hide-and-go-seek from our doctor. She couldn't catch his heartbeat in one place for more than a few seconds. He was just all over the place - kind of fun. Tomorrow, I have to go have a gestational diabetes test - which is normal, so not to worry. I get to go in and drink this orange drink that has tons of sugar on an empty stomach - blech!! Then I get to wait an hour and have my blood drawn. Hope I'm in the mood for sugar!! :)

Happy Monday, everybody!!
