Pete and I took a wonderful vacation to Playa del Carmen last week – it was much needed and well deserved time off. We did nothing but relax by the pool with some drinks (virgin pina coladas for me and Modelo especial for Pete) and bask in the warm yucatan sun. Don’t you just feel better being a little tan? I do. And get this: I literally forgot I was pregnant! We swam, walked the beach, ate lots of tacos, etc. and it felt like my pre-pregnancy days. No aches or pains and I slept like a baby every night. I worried about dehydration and swelling, but luckily did not experience any of those symptoms. I guess being so sedentary at work is not good for pregnant bodies because after just one day back at work I was already achy and sore. Stupid work. If you can get away with your partner before the baby arrives, do it. Trust me – you will not regret it.
