Jake and I are headed to Michigan today for a family reunion at my uncle’s lake house, and I could not be more excited! It will be a much needed vacation. Our only vacation this year actually… For one reason or another this year has just been flying by and sadly we weren’t able to take the traditional babymoon like I was hoping. But I’m pretty sure this will be just as great! I mean, who needs a babymoon when you can have a week of laying in the sun, playing in the lake, soaking up some family, and of course eating lots of good food?! That’s my kind of last hurrah before Natalie comes.
On a slightly related note, can I just talk for a second about how difficult it is to find a cute maternity swimsuit? I never thought it would be such a difficult task! I checked all the stores people recommended, and came back with basically nothing. They were either crazy and unflattering patterns, fit really awkwardly, or didn’t have my size. Go figure. Target had the ONLY passable one, a plain black swimsuit that actually fit ok and didn’t have any weird quirks that shout “Hey, look at me and my pregnant belly!” Which is not cute. I don’t know why people design swimsuits that make your stomach look BIGGER than it already is. For real. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m proud that I have a little bambina growing in me and giving me a stomach the size of massive watermelon, but that certainly doesn’t mean I want it to be any larger than it has to be. ThankYouVeryMuch.
ANYWAYS. I have to finish packing. (Yep, leaving in an hour and still haven’t finished. I’m nothing if not a procrastinator.) But I’ll leave you with this pretty sneak peek of the wedding I’ll be blogging on Wednesday! (Because really, no one needs to see a picture of a pregnant girl in the one decent swimsuit she found.)
Happy Monday :)
