And because he was sharing a room/bed with Mommy, he went to bed every night at 7:30 and slept until 6:30 without stirring. Honestly... I could do co-sleeping. I have not felt so rested in a long time. And lots of afternoons I napped with him as well. It was delicious.
It was also fantastic to reconnect with an Aunt who I used to be quite close to but who moved away many years ago and whom I have only seen periodically since then.
Here are some pictures of our trip:
I wish I knew how to post a video. I have a cute one where Caden decided in a pub named "Margaritaville" to climb up on the table and dance to the song "Wasting Away Again In Margaritaville". While normally I would discourage such behaviour, trust me it fit right in with this cruise ship laden, 18 year old March Break crowd.
Now I am home and I am in nesting mode. I am researching cribs and double strollers (I would love your opinons on double strollers) and cleaning out my old home office so that it can become a nursery! I am really feeling the need to be organized. I spent just over $1000 dollars today on furniture that will make our two main living areas (living room and family room) more organized, especially now that we will be moving the computer in there.
There is still no name for this little girl. All of my favorite names have become so popular in the last several years, and I like strong names but not "out there" names so I am finding it very difficult. Any suggestions?
I feel like I have an abundance of energy for the first time in a year. And it almost is a year. April 11 with be the anniversary of my sister's accident. Caden and I and my brother will fly to my Mom and Dad's on the 8th.

fantastic! you look so happy and well rested.
Great pictures :-) I can only dream of going on vacation...
My little girls are Abigail (which I've heard is very popular in the US, but is rare here) and Nomi, which just seemed like such a gentle name to me...
Your vacation sounds fantastic and great pictures!!!
Such cute pictures! As for the double stroller, I just bought one and lurve it. It's a Joovy lightweight Caboose. I had resisted buying a double stroller for awhile but saw one in the airport and had to have it. I suggest reading amazon.com reviews for more details...it's just as good as they say.
I too love girl's names that fit that description, hence my Julia. The other ones I like are very popular too, so I'm no help.
Gorgeous pics! You look amazing and Caden is as cute as ever. I just want to stroke those adorable cheeks. Too funny about him dancing!
I'll be thinking of you as April 11th approaches.
XOXOXOX

PS~ I like Nomi, too.
