34 Weeks

34 Weeks
BABY MOON

I've already told you how wonderful my hubby is for booking this amazing trip! Our trip started with a 4 a.m. wake-up call for our road trip to Mount Washington.


3 hours later and we drive up to this! Can you imagine driving up and seeing this view???



December 30, 2012

Day One of our Baby Moon adventure was spent at the Spa. This was not an ordinary spa....it was remarkable. Jeff would usually be on the ski slopes with his snowboard, but he spent the day with me at the spa.....not something he is totally used to, but I think he could get used to! We checked in, changed into our robes and enjoyed the spectacular scenery outside of the relaxing sitting room while waiting for our first treatment.



Massages - Ahhhhhhh heaven! I was really curious to see how my massage would go. I pictured a massage table with a hole in it - haha - not quite. It was a regular table and had special pillows on top that strategically aided with the belly and other bulging body parts :  ) I actually laid on my belly! It felt so good! I haven't been able to lay on my stomach for 8 months....I only lasted 20 minutes in that position, but those 20 minutes were great. I usually don't want to talk at all during a massage....I mean who wants to make small talk with a complete stranger when you are trying to relax? Well...this girl talked the entire time and I actually didn't mind it. Everything was about pregnancy. As she massaged certain spots she would tell me which areas can trigger labor, she taught me how to do a baby massage, she massaged my belly and just shared stories of her kids.

Facial time...this may have been my favorite. It's been a long time since I have gotten a facial. I remember it hurting the last time, but this one was so incredibly relaxing and hydrating. My skin felt awesome after and still does. Bonus that it didn't make me break out as well :  ) Hearing Jeff's explanation of what the girl did to him is so funny....this is not word for word, but you will get the jist.

K - "So Jeff, tell me what you thought about your first facial."
J - "Well she washed my face with some stuff and then sprayed some other stuff on it. Then she put some cream on it and covered my eyes and then rubbed some other stuff on it...."

In my opinion.....this is such a typical guy explanation of a facial. Us girls would know all of the products and why she's doing what she's doing.

Pedicures - This was Jeff's second pedicure ever. I'm not sure if he wants everyone to know that, but it is. His first was on our Wedding Day with some of his groomsmen. It was nice to get this done with him because it was the only treatment we did together that we actually got to talk to each other.

Yup....a girl's dream day.....SPA DAY!


That night we stayed around the hotel........it is such a cozy place and is very family oriented. There were kids everywhere!!
 It was def a fun place to do another one of my all time favorite things to do - people watch!

Jeff played guitar hero......


We played Checkers......he clearly won.


We had dinner at Stickney's Steak House......
calamari, lamb chops, salmon, and tiramisu..mmmmmmm


and ended the night with playing table shuffle board and listening to a band at "The Cave."


December 31st 2012 - New Year's Eve Day

The next morning we had breakfast in the Ballroom......ummmmmm pretty much anything you desire would be at this buffet! Jeff's favorite was the blueberry sausage and my favorite was the berry stuffed french toast! I wish I took pictures of the food.....we usually do! It was delicious!

After breakfast we did a few scenic pics.....
The lounge area with my favorite chairs! Really though....how cool are these chairs?



Later in the day we went for a private sleigh ride around the grounds <3 very romantic!

This was our horse....Ralph! We had to laugh out loud when we heard his name because during my whole pregnancy my mom has called Baby D - Baby Ralphie! haha - is it a sign?? 
Will we have a baby Ralphie?? 


Our matching hats that have built in speakers! Thanks Nancy!


Our New Year's Eve Night started with an awesome fireworks show to music. It was one of the best firework displays I have ever seen.....I think the music adds so much to it!



I got pretty emotional watching the show. Out of nowhere tears just started streaming down my face. As I stood there I couldn't stop thinking about what 2013 was going to bring to Jeff and I. I was really just overcome with joy, but could not stop crying!!

As you can see Jeff was taking my emotional cry very seriously!


After the fireworks we ended up at a little restaurant called Bailiwicks - very nice!!
I even got stuck in my chair at one point and couldn't get up.....dam belly! haha


After dinner we went back to the hotel and walked around a bit and somehow ended up getting in "Studio 54" for free. The guy noticed I was pregnant and just let us in! Sympathy VIP, but I'll take it!

Look at that belly! No wonder I got stuck!


Can you see all the teenie boppers in the background?! Jeff and I had fun looking in disgust how the girls were dressed! Wow am I old!



Last pic of 2012!


Happy New Baby Year!!! I actually made it till midnight!! SHOCKER! I think we were out of that room and back to our Inn with 30 minutes after that - haha.....boy have times changed : )



January 1st 2013: Last day of the Baby Moon : (   

We woke up and did another big breakfast....no berry stuffed french toast that day....BUMMER!
We had planned to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain to see the views and hang out, but it was obnoxiously cold and windy. I am always hot with this bun in the oven, but it was even too cold for my hormones! Look at these views!




Can you tell I'm frozen?


First belly pic of 2013 - 34 weeks
