our honeymoon in paris

in october my husband and i visited paris. it was for our honeymoon/babymoon, and boy was it lovely!!!!!  it's just the break we needed from our busy lives in los angeles. we had no set plans for things to do while there. we just wanted to take each day by day and relax while there.  

i think our most favorite thing that we did while there was a croissant baking class.  it was amazing. we made three different kinds of croissants. a plain, a chocolate, and an almond. we got to make a few of all three kinds. we also made these mini cookies with a raspberry jam and white chocolate chip. after learning how to make all three kinds, we got to finally eat what we made!  which of course was the best part of the entire class. while eating they provided tea, and coffee. oh it was so fun! if you're ever in paris i highly recommend taking one of their classes.

my other most favorite thing we did was go to luxemberg gardens. it was so beautiful. we got lunch, and brought it back to the park. sat under some beautiful trees while we ate, then went to the fountain to watch the children play with boats. it's something we plan to go back to when we travel with little bean. 

we went to a handful of museums, and got to see some beautiful art. 

we took a walk over the lovers bridge on the way to notre dame.wow notre dame was beautiful!!!! we made some lady super mad there for cutting in line. she was so upset she actually came up to me in the church and called me a bitch! pretty uncalled for. we still had an amazing time there! 

our hotel was right by the eiffel tower, on the corner of rue cler, so we spent lots of time in that area. we also visited père lachaise.

we did lots of walking around and exploring the city, but i won't bother with those details since i posted so many photos.  

our honeymoon was lovely, and perfect.  

26 weeks!!!!!!

how far along: 26 weeks!!!! i can't believe that i am almost in my 3rd trimester.  this pregnancy is flying by so quickly.  it's insane.  i feel like it was just yesterday that i found out i was pregnant. it's crazy to think that there is only 98 days left till little bean's due date.  

total weight gain: 17 pounds

baby is the size of: a head of lettuce

miss anything: sleep! just when i thought it was getting better, it went down hill again.  maybe i jinxed myself! doh! i especially miss sleeping on my stomach and back.  

cravings:  sweets!!!!!! i had never been a big sweets person previous to this past week, but lately i have been wanting something like a piece of cake, or a cupcake, or donuts!  oh how i love donuts.  but i have been trying my best to stay away from those foods, and stick to eating healthy things.

belly button in or out:  out.  out all the way.  i actually really like being able to see it when i wear my dresses.  

looking forward to:  finishing our nursery. got all the furniture for it finally, and it's all put together.  now just time to decorate.  the BIG thing i am looking forward to, is our vacation next week.  we are going to paris!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait.  i wish it was next week.

best moment this week:  hmmm...the best moment this week was probably when my husband finished all our nursery furniture.  his buddy came up and they worked really hard to put together little beans ikea dresser which took forever.  it came in so many pieces.  i am so happy that's all done with now, and that now i get to decorate.

maternity clothes:  yup!  i am excited that i get some dresses that i ordered in the mail tomorrow.  i love maternity dresses.  so comfy!

labor symptoms:  nothing.

oh where to start!  next week my husband and i are going to paris!!! i am so incredibly excited to go.  my husband has been there before, and i haven't so i am looking forward to him showing me around.  i am so lucky to have such a wonderful man as my husband.  he works really hard to take care of me, and to support our little family.  i love that man!

also this past week the rest of the furniture was put together in little beans room.  it is all so real now that he has a crib in there as well as a dresser and big chair.  i spent some time washing some clothes we have for him, as well as folding them and putting them away.  <3 <3  i just wish it was january so that he could enjoy it all!!!!

well i am totally pooped so i am off to take a nap.  i had tons of things i wanted to update ya'll on, and between being tired, and having pregnancy brain i can't remember anything.  hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week!!!

that one day we got married

on june 15. 2013 i got to marry my best friend.  it was such a magical day.  the planning process was terrible, but when the day came, it ran so smoothly.  it was nice being able to spend the day with our closest friends, and our families all in one room.  i just wish the day wouldn't have ended so quickly.  

we got married at the la valencia hotel, in san diego.  the wedding started at 4:30 and went on till about 10.  after that we were so beat we headed back to the hotel and went to sleep. 

here are some pictures of our lovely day.
