Ensenada, Mexico was the place. Husband was the guy (obvi). Baby moon was the mission. Status: Mission Accomplished. Chase and I thought it absolutely necessary to give ourselves some type of relaxing hurrah before our lives changed forever with the addition of a little one to the fam. We also knew it needed to happen before I was so big that waddling or rolling me around were the only options. And yes we’re quickly approaching that point, and yes I am only 5 1/2 months along. Welcome to ‘Hi I’m gonna be the biggest pregnant lady that ever lived’. I’m learning already that I better get used to people asking if I’m having a December baby and then gasping when I tell them I’m due in March, then asking if I’m having twins. Yeah – that happened yesterday. Awesome. (#peopleareinsensitiveidiots #butGodblessem)
Anywho, we took a little cruise last week and it was wonderful. We ate great food, we slept our faces off (no seriously, we were in bed by 9 the entire time… voluntarily… and it felt amaze-balls. No regrets.), watched a million movies and laid in the sun and ate more good food and most of all just enjoyed being with each other. Turns out there is no better feeling than having the man you love all to yourself for an entire extended weekend. There’s no better feeling than waking up every single day to poignant feelings of contentment and relief about who you married. And it might just be the best thing in the world to feel like one of your life’s greatest wishes came true: you really did end up with the boy of your dreams. Some advice for anyone reading this who’s not yet married: tell God you want to end up with your best match… the person you’d be happiEST with… then live your life right, have some faith, and be willing to hold out until your gut tells you that you’re with the guy who fits that description. I’m thankful every day that I followed those instructions, cuz they worked. (#steppingoffsoapboxnow)
Here’s what I wore for a day-jaunt into Ensenada. We made it out alive and with no explosive diarrhea from the food we ate. Winning.

Oh my goodness you look adorable!! How did you find the cruise while pregnant? My husband wants to go on one for a baby-moon but I’ve heard mixed things about going while preggo. Love that necklace
This is an adorable look and such cute accessories!

So pretty, love the way you are rocking your bump with that maxi! And yeah people are sooo insensitve my bff was pregnant last year and heard lots of really awkward things people said to her, but as long as your baby is healthy, that’s all that matters! Ensenada? that’s awesome! I live in Mexico and have never been there, can you believe that? it’s on my list obviously but can’t wait! And last but not least … you made a tear or two come out of my eyes, that thing you said about your husband is so adorable, thanks for the advice, I’ll tell that to God every night! God bless you and your family, specially that little one on the way!
Cee. ♥
Code Overdressed
Very pretty outfit! Great idea with the maxi dress.
You look beautiful… and I love your hair! So pretty!
xo Always, Abby
It sounds like an amazing trip and that’s great that you got to get away (and rest!) before the baby comes! You look beautiful!
You look stunning! I love the necklace its so lush! So glad you went away! Its a fab idea to get some RnR in the sun before baby comes along! Ax
Ahhh yes, the “twins” comment. I got that one from a lady at work a few weeks ago and spent the next 10 minutes daydreaming about punching her in the throat. Oh, yes, I ALSO got a question if my baby is due in December. People are so freaking clueless. I think you look awesome and I’m glad you got a babymoon, we had one not long ago and I slept a bunch and it was glorious. I see you got your tank from H & M maternity, I will have to check them out. I’ve gotten most of my stuff from gap/oldnavy online when they have 40% off coupons and ASOS has some pretty sick maternity gear I rock all the time too. Enjoy being pregs!
You look beautiful! That bump and glowy skin is too cute on you. I had people say the same thing with all four of my babies! Haha That’s just what happens when you carry all in the front… all baby! Just tell them you’re not expecting at all… that should get a good reaction! 🙂
