This past weekend started off with Andy leaving for the states for the brigade surgeon course early Friday morning. He left a few days early to stop by NY and visit his brother, Pete, and his family. Kim, my sister-in-law, just gave birth on June 29th to her 3rd boy, so the timing couldn't have been any better.
I was sad to see hubby leave me but I cheered up a few hours later because I was headed out of town myself! :) A friend of ours, Caitlin, had asked me the week before if I wanted to go on a last minute beach trip with her for the 4th of July weekend. Since Andy was leaving, I couldn't think of a single reason not to. We ended up finding great deals on flights, stay, and rental car (totally forgot to snap a pic of our little white smart car!) in Mallorca - more specifically in Puerto de Alcudia. The location was perfect. It was quieter than most beaches on the island and the water was unbelievably calm and clear.
I'm so glad that we ended up doing this trip. It was so relaxing, beautiful, and cheap! After Portugal, it's at the top of my list of favorite beach vacations! Definitely looking forward to going back again with Andy and Baby Kim next year.
Here are some photos from the trip!
Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July!

Baby Update - Week 27
I hit 27 weeks this past Sunday!
It's exciting yet scary to say that I'm only 13 weeks away from giving birth to this baby!
A lot of people ask me 'are you ready?'. I never really know what they're asking.
Am I ready for the sleepless nights and craziness of having a newborn? Sure.
Am I ready as far as essentials for a baby? Mostly.
Am I ready to give birth? Heck no. I don't think I'll ever be. This whole labor thing terrifies me but I guess until someone invents an easier way to give birth, I'll have to do it. :( But I am ready to have this little girl out of me. I'm tired of all the cramping!
Overall, I'm really excited and ready to meet this little girl who is constantly kicking and twirling inside of me. I'm so curious to know if she'll be as active as she is now. If so, she's going to be a handful!
Oh, and as much as I complain about pregnancy... there's one really awesome pro to being pregnant - I've stopped growing leg hair! So awesome I don't need to shave there. Woohoo!
Anyway, here's a flattering picture of the bump at 27 weeks in Mallorca for those who haven't seen it on FB already.
