This weekend was so much fun. Nick is one amazing husband. As busy people, our ideal get away would be relaxing, which it was very much! We went downtown Houston and stayed at the Magnolia Hotel. The Magnolia is the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night so it was special to go back there. We didn't really get to enjoy the hotel last year as our flight left very early the next morning, so it was nice to explore and enjoy the Magnolia. Nick had a weekend of memories planned out for us. We did things that we had done while we were dating. On Friday night we went and ate at the Aquarium for dinner, Saturday we ate at Chuy's for lunch, went to the movie, and then ate at Birraporeti's on Saturday evening. We did a lot of eating, can you tell? All of these places are special to us in different ways so we were reminising all weekend. It was so much fun. The best part was that it was super relaxing and it was just us. It kind of felt like we were in a different town and it just felt good to "get away" from life's craziness and enjoy spending time together. Thank you Nick - it was amazing and I LOVE you!!!
Now for the part I know you all are waiting for me to share. :) Yesterday, we went to the doctor and got to see our baby moving, punching, and kicking around on the ultrasound machine. It was so amazing to see how big the baby has gotten since our last ultrasound which was nearly 2 1/2 months ago. We also found out that we need to start thinking PINK, because we are having a baby GIRL!!! We could not be happier for this exciting news. Our precious little girl is healthy and growing beautifully, praise the Lord! He is so good and we are so blessed for this little miracle. Here are some sweet pictures of our little Mini Vann!
