Best moment this week: Went on our annual girl's trip over the weekend (much needed)!! Also, now that I'm 30 weeks I will be going to the doctor every two weeks so I got to hear Rayna's sweet little heartbeat again ( 140 bpm) and Rylee came for the first time to my appointment and heard the baby too!! It was so sweet....she looked so interested and kept saying baby when she heard her! :)
Worst moment this week: Had some bad cramping one day after working out that lasted the entire day and started scaring me. Called the nurses line just to double check but everything was ok and it hasn't come back. Realized I need to take it a little bit easier these days...

Looking forward to: Our Babymoon this weekend! We are going to the Riverwalk in San Antonio for our last little getaway just the two of us!! Also, my 28 week check up apt on Monday! Excited to hear baby girl's little heartbeat again :)

We stayed at Hotel Valencia right on the Riverwalk and luckily had the most beautiful day when we arrived!!
Went to dinner at Little Rhein Steakhouse right on the river. It was sooo good!!
Our complimentary dessert :)
Went on the boat tour around the Riverwalk after dinner
Slept in and went to breakfast at The Guenther House. Again sooo good!
Then headed home to pick up Rylee from her aunt & uncle's house....it was so good to see her!! Even though we enjoyed our 24-hour (much needed) getaway we missed our sweet girl very much!! We (of course) brought her a gift from our trip and she absolutely LOVED it! She has been OBSESSED with horses aka hee haws lately so we couldn't pass up this toy ;)
