Stewart and I love our sweet firstborn baby boy more than life itself, but we also recognize that a little healthy one-on-one "adult" time is crucial for our marriage and sanity. And since our lives are about to change again drastically in about three months when Baby Sister joins the family, we decided to plan a little grownup getaway for ourselves with some of our very best friends, Brett and Haley.
We headed out to Ocean Shores for a weekend of relaxation...
Believe it or not (she looks tiny in this photo), Haley is also due with a baby girl just six days after me! We've had so much fun sharing our pregnancy experiences.
We had big plans for our weekend at the beach:
Relax... Repeat.
After an amazing night's sleep during which I, for once, did not have a two-year-old kicking me in the ribs and trying to climb on top of me all night, Haley and I headed to the nearby beach town of Seabrook for prenatal massages. Haley had found a beautiful unique day spa, where we were both treated to the most amazing massages of our lives!
I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed and calm; it was exactly what I needed...
In the meantime, the boys had no trouble entertaining themselves back at the casino.
They both won big, which meant next up was a yummy lunch at my favorite coastal seafood restaurant, Bennett's. And since we were on vacation, our next stop was the candy shop for ice cream and salt water taffy.
Afterward, we rolled ourselves on down to the beach...

The rest of the weekend we spent lounging, chatting, napping, watching movies (and the UW Husky football game), and of course eating as much as we could manage. I think on Saturday night all of us were asleep on the couch by about ten o'clock...
Ryder spent the weekend with my parents, and even though I knew he was having a fantastic time I sure did miss that little guy! He has been my entire world for the past 2.5 years, and I'm having a bit of a hard time imagining how I'm going to split my time and attention between two children. In the meantime, I am just trying to shower him in as much love and quality time as possible.
Because Baby Sister is on the way, and we can't wait to meet her!
Many, many thanks to our fabulous friends Brett and Haley for making this fantastic weekend possible.
We love you guys!
I love that baby bump shot, Sarah. Ocean Shores is a great place to just relax. We love visiting there.
