You Boys Like Mexico?!?!

Just a quick update on my new clicker countdown.  When I was pregnant, I was already planning on a special little get away for just me and the hubby.  As you can probably tell, I'm not a "stay home every night and do nothing" kind of girl and I knew that once we had our beautiful Brody (yes, boys can be beautiful when they're babys) we were going to need a hot get away.  I am a serious advocate on making sure our relationship stays strong and hot even when we're parents and already had the wheels turning in my head when my belly was growing.  We were going to need an erotic mini vacation that included lots of alone time and sexy sun tans.

Through the cold winter months of pregnancy and then the blistering summer days of SERIOUS pregnancy,  we couldn't really go on a vacation because not only was I trying to save my vacation days, but I also looked like a beached whale and it was too hot for my pregnant self to hang on the sand all day.  We would talk about how we couldn't wait to go somewhere together once the baby got here.  We would watch movies that focused on white sand and light blue waters and daydream of the days when we could be there.  The thing is, I knew the day would come when our son would be born, our life would completley change, and so would my husbands thoughts.  Our bills would explode with diapers, formula, baby necessities, baby sitter fees, and my husband would say..."babe, we just can't afford a trip right now." 

I know my husband very well and of course, almost that exact sentence was stated when I brought up the idea of us going on a trip.  The thing is, I outsmarted the husband.  Throughout my pregnancy, I would stash money away after I got paid every two weeks or so.  Fifty dollars here, one hundred dollars there.  My husband knew the money was going somewhere and I was taking it, he just wasn't sure where exactly.  Maybe I was really hungry that week or maybe, my massive boobs were outgrowing my bras, again.  At that point, he didn't dare to ask.  Well, here we are 10 months or pregnancy and almost 5 months of Brody later with a nice little vaca getaway stash.  We wanted to go somewhere warm, not crazy expensive, but a nice resort where we could literally do nothing while we were there.  Our very good friends John and Lindsey had a son almost exactly two months after we had Brody and they were interested in a "new parents getaway" as well.  So, we did some research and found a great deal at a beautiful resort in Mexico.  It just so happens we have some friends who stayed at this resort last year and said it was amazing. 

So...the countdown begins.  I am already bracing myself for the seperation anxiety I will have from leaving my little angel but I am hoping that the several tequila sunrises I will consume will help subdue the sadness.  In less than one month, we will be on the beaches of Mexico with great friends, enjoying sun, sand, a cocktail and a full nights sleep =)
