A Babymoon to Remember.

LeBlanc Spa in beautiful Cancun, Mexico was a perfect place to spend a romantic week together before Baby Rowland arrives. We were greated with sweet coconut milk in a zen, serene lobby. The resort's general vibe was one of relaxation. Steve and I literally did nothing but read books, lay by the pool and the light, bright blue Caribbean sea, and ate at the resort's awesome restaurants, which featured French, Asian, Italian, Mexican and American cuisines. I read three books, and so did Steve. It was one of those times together where we didn't make plans, and played each day by ear. We talked about Baby Rowland often, and about the changes coming to our lives. I didn't think of work, or anything stressful. It was so relaxing. We also got spa treatments, including massages and a facial. Steve got his first manicure and pedicure with me. I'm still not sure he will get one with me at home. There was a giant chess board and jenga game by the lagoon pool that was so much fun to play! And what trip to the beach would be complete without a game of bocce ball? We actually got to teach some locals how to play, which we enjoyed. Our walks to the local outdoor market were also very interesting, as those Mexicans surely do know how to harass folks to buy something or at the very least, look at all the "unique" things that are available to buy - from blankets, hats, t-shirts and jewelry to shot glasses, ashtrays and magnets. Being on the beach in a bathing suit with a big belly wasn't too different for me, but the drinks I chose throughout the week were surely foreign territory! I had many a virgin pina colada, daquiri and beer. A funny aside, being the clumsy, sober pregnant woman, I fell down a couple of times and needed a Mexican physician due to some slippery stairs. I do believe the rumors that pregnant women get clumsy. There is also a wives' tale associated with that rumor that states the baby will be a boy if you're clumsy, and a girl if you're graceful. Whatever he or she is, I'm definitely clumsy none the less! Guess we'll find out if the rumor is true on April 28, if Baby decides to spread 'em.

It was a babymoon to remember.
