It's 7:30 pm and I'm just unwinding from the weekend. I have to start by saying that Friday was kind of a scary day. I have been feeling this little girl move inside me non-stop for the last few weeks and then all of a sudden I didn't feel a thing for an entire day. I waited until the next day to see if I would feel anything and NOTHING, so I called the Doctor. The doctor didn't seem too worried but she was glad I called. She said to go home and eat something, have some ice water, and lay down for one hour focusing on feeling movement. I didn't feel anything for the first 20 mins or so, but then Greg came in and talked to my belly and put his hand on it and sure enough, she started to kick again. What a relief!!!! When I couldn't feel her I was so scared and remember thinking how all I wanted was to feel her...how every little thing I had been worrying about suddenly was so unimportant! Maybe I needed this little reality check. A little something to put everything back into perspective for me :)
Friday night we went over to John and Sara's for dinner...carne asada tacos! That was a lot of fun! Then Saturday morning I slept in until 7:30, showered, and packed a bag to head to Palm Desert Marriot for Anna's bachelorette party! We pulled in right before noon and headed straight down to the spa for our treatments! I had an amazing facial :) Then it was pool time! I just relaxed and fed the bride-to-be drinks since I couldn't drinkl. Yeah, Palm Desert was a very different experience than it usually is considering the fact that usually I am drinking poolside the entire time. It was actually really nice and relaxing though, so I didn't mind. We headed back up to the room to get ready for dinner at about 6 and then headed to Mercados (the Japanese Benihana style restaraunt at the resort). Dinner was a blast! Then it was Costa's time. Costa's is the dance club that I literally did not recognize when we walked in since I am usually 3 sheets by that time. I really tried to hang, but dancing sexy with a big ol belly just wasn't feeling cool. I went to the bar where a guy asked if he could buy me a drink and my response was "sure, I'd love an ice water!"
