Several of our friends advised us to take the time - while we still have it - to get away, just the two of us, before the baby came! We originally intended to go to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, BUT when the pregnant lady found out that it was a 2-hour hike from the airport to where we were staying - the trip to the DR was nixed. All was not lost, though...Brian simply redirected us to Grand Bahamas...a quicker flight & only 10 minutes from airport to hotel!
It was great having time to read, lay by the pool/beach, journal, talk, eat & drink - do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted to do it! Despite a huge storm on Tuesday (my birthday!), we still had an incredible trip.
Brian & Robyn, Clay & Emma (my bro, sis-in-law, nephew & niece) came back from Charlotte with us the night before we left. Robyn was sitting in our room with us while we were packing. She pointed out that this would be one of the last times the two of us only packed for the two of us! It made me giggle to think the next trip Brian & I take together will include our little one in tow - so that will mean a car seat, stroller, pack & play, diapers, wipes, etc.!
While we vacationed, Brian & Robyn were working away in our house. As a gift for the baby, Brian (my bro) wanted to paint our nursery & do molding for us. He did an awesome job! (We'll post pictures once the nursery's complete after baby White arrives.) AND Robyn cleaned my house, folded all the clean laundry, organized my pantry! Plus, Brian hung a new blind for us on our backdoor, changed some lightbulbs outside & repaired drywall in the garage! We are so thankful that they were so generous in creating the nursery & doing so many things for us around the house!
Hope everyone's doing well & had a Happy Halloween!
5 weeks & counting -

Good for you for going a one last trip. Kinda fun and sad all at once, huh? Think of all the trips where it's just been you and B! Love the pics - it looked gorgeous and you look stunning. I am a little disappointed because those belly shops keep eluding us!! :)
Can't wait to see the nursery in just a few weeks - hopefully with a baby in it!

I'm so glad to hear that you took one last trip with the two of you before the baby- sounds great!
You do look great- are you glowing?
Can't wait to see pictures of the baby soon... do you have names picked out?
What a great way to celebrate your last trip together! Even though I'm sure you'll take trips alone once the bebe arrives, it will still be different because you'll be calling home all the time and wondering what your bebe is doing!! (Don't worry, we'll answer the phone when you call!) :)
Are you feeling ready? Just think...in a matter of a few weeks you will look back on those pictures like it was a lifetime ago, because you won't be able to imagine going anywhere without your little one!
And then little Brian Jr. will get a couple of years older, and you'll want to relive this trip all over again! Hee Hee.
I'm so excited for you!
