I can at least update, even though I have yet to upload pictures from my birthday weekend or 4D ultrasound pics from yesterday. I promise to find my USB cord and get that done tonite!
As for the surprise birthday weekend - Shawn took me to the Omni Resort at Champions Gate for two lovely and relaxing nights!! When we left our house Friday night, I still had no idea what the plan was...Shawn just drove us South and I waited to find out where we were going to stop and eat. (Because, regardless of where we're going, I'm on a schedule people and I need to eat after work!) So...pretending to stop off of the exit and wander around for a Chili's we drove into the Omni Resort complex to "ask directions" because we managed to pass the restaurant (located directly off of the exit). However, when we pulled in, Shawn advised the valet we were there to check in! YAY!! So we scoped out our room for a bit and our "premium view" of the golf course and pools. Very nice! Then we did head off to Chili's to eat. It was yummy. We went back to our room and got comfy for a movie and had a great nights sleep in our king size bed!
The next morning we didn't really sleep in too late (8:30ish) and had juices and milk brought to the room before heading down to the breakfast buffet. The buffet was really nice and we were very full! We took a short walk around and checked out the pools, lazy river, water slides and golf course/golf school that was behind the hotel before heading back to our room. Shawn then informed me that he had booked a prenatal massage for me at the spa! We relaxed in the room for a bit and watched some t.v., before heading off for my massage - it was WONDERFUL!! Afterward, we ordered a light lunch from room service and relaxed until our 6:30 dinner reservation.
We went to Trevi's for dinner, in the hotel, and Chef Eddie took excellent care of us. We only ordered filets for dinner since we weren't planning on pigging out...but the Chef had his own plans. We first received a bruschetta appetizer, which Shawn tried, but I passed on (tomatoes - ew!). Then came a too large portion of calamari and sauce that was very yummy, but could have served at least 6 people or more! We had a few pieces of that, but were already filling up. Then came our bone-in-filets with asparagus and potatoes...it was SO GOOD. We didn't finish all of that though...so they wrapped it up for us, along with some of the calamari to take home. We expected that dinner would end and we'd leave fully bloated and satisfied. However, to my surprise, Chef Eddie had created a three layer, cream filled, chocolate cake with the most wonderfully decadent chocolate frosting!! A whole cake! It said "Happy Birthday" on it even, and the staff came out with the cake (and one lit candle - nice job) singing. Shawn and I were shocked and could only manage a few bites out of one piece we shared. It was so yummy though! They also boxed that up for us to take home the next day - which was very cool! The biggest surprise came when we asked for our check and was told that Chef Eddie had picked up the ENTIRE tab! ROCK ON!!
So we went back to the room and vegged, and watched a movie, and got one more night of good sleep in our king size bed.
We got up the next morning (Shawn earlier than I) and headed down to the lazy river. After that, we laid by the pool for a bit but it was cloudy so we headed back to the room. We relaxed a bit and then decided to check out around Noon.
We had a wonderful time and I am so thankful for such a fabulous husband! I have to say thanks to Barb too though for the hook-up with the Omni and Chef Eddie!!
I'll post the few pics I took this weekend hopefully tonite or tomorrow.
Yesterday - we had our 4D ultrasound and we got about 8 pics and 2 videos. They turned out pretty good, but the tech said she thought she could get better ones, so they scheduled us to come back in two weeks to try again. Our mothers were there and were very excited about seeing Katelyn. After Shawn talked to Katelyn through my tummy, she was moving her mouth and even "smiling". The tech got a video of that, and it's really cool to see. (I have to figure out how to upload that.) Our moms were very impressed and so were we!
I also found out today that I passed my one hour glucose test I took yesterday too - WOO HOO - no three hour test for me! :)
I hope to get the 4D pics up later too!!
Thanks for reading the update!! :)
