Staycation 2012

Since I'm not allowed to travel anymore, we decided to squeeze in one more babymoon in the form of a staycation last weekend.

We started off the day with a delicious lunch at Bouldin Creek Coffee House - very Austin: vegetarian fare, servers that slightly smell of BO, patrons mostly donning cut offs/bare feet/dreads. We completed the meal with a stop at Sugar Mama's, our favorite cupcake spot.


Our friends, George and Kathy, recently opened up Heywood, a boutique hotel on the East Side of Austin. They converted a charming old bungalow to a modern 7 room hotel... what an amazing transformation! From the decor, to the service, to the cool East Side vibe, our expectations were certainly exceeded.


We ended the evening with dinner at Justine's, a quaint French restaurant, on the East Side. Our friends, Mark and Elisa Dennis, joined us - they are due with their first baby the day before we are. We are looking forward to our girls enjoying many play dates together!

We are officially on the home stretch! I'm feeling very pregnant and looking forward to the arrival of our daughter. If only I had a magic wand to finish all of the nagging little pre-baby tasks;)

Our daughter is a mover and a shaker. She's either having a constant dance party in there or consistently karate chopping me. We've learned that she loves when I move, and can't stand it when I sit still.

On tap for this week - Infant CPR class as well as a Childbirthing class. Plus, we have our 36 week appointment with the doctor tomorrow, so a full week of everything Baby T.

A little behind on posting - 35 weeks (1 week old)
