Anniversary and a Babymoon

On Thursday Santi and I celebrated 4 years of marriage. Because our actual anniversary was on a Thursday night, we decided to stay in and I made a special Ecuadorian dinner of churrasco with menestra...and I also tried my hand at the raspberry cheesecake cupcakes from Annie's Eats. I was surprised by how well both things turned out!

An Ecuadorian meal...churrasco, menestra, rice, fried yucca, and salad...yum!

Santi came home with these beautiful flowers for me. 
After enjoying a wonderful anniversary, Santi convinced me (didn't take much) that we should go ahead and enjoy a mini-babymoon. We had originally planned a weekend in Sedona for our anniversary/babymoon, but my doctor said no more out of town trips. He found us a great last minute deal at an amazing resort in Scottsdale for the weekend, so we were able to enjoy a fantastic, relaxing weekend staycation! We spent the weekend soaking in the pool, getting some sun, and eating lots of yummy food. It was so relaxing and so wonderful to spend that time together as a couple before we welcome Luca into our family. I know once we are officially parents, our lives are going to be much different (in a good way) and our alone time as a couple is going to be very infrequent. It was a fantastic last getaway as just the two of us, but I think we spent the majority of the weekend talking about all the fun trips we wanted to take with Luca and how much fun it was going to be. I can't believe he is going to be here in about 4 weeks or less!

Pool time!

Next weekend I will be 37 weeks...which is considered "full term". That means Luca's arrival is just around the corner. 4 weeks or less!!!
