Mother's Day Weekend

My very special, very wonderful Mother'sDay weekend began Friday morning when I went to a little Mother's Day Bruch at Jolie's Pre-School, it was really sweet, they had some little foods out and the kids made the Mom's little gifts. She made me a little paper flower that was super cute as well as a really pretty wind chime. It was nice and she showed me around her classroom and her work that was on the walls. I also got a chance to meet some of her friend's Mothers that will be coming to her Birthday Party next weekend.

Then yesterday morning Rich sent for me for a wonderful manicure and pedicure, it was so nice and relaxing, I loved it! Then our parents watched the kids so Rich and I could go to Tampa Bay Downs for some local horse racing and to watch the Derby. We met up with some friends and had lovely cocktails and made horse bets and cheered on the races, it was really fun! I forgot to take pictures over the weekend but I will say my Derby outfit was amazing and so super cute! I might have had a few more drinks than needed but I stayed in control and it was fine. We went for a nice dinner after the races and it was so nice, Rich did an amazing job making yesterday very special for me and it totally was.

This morning, Rich and Jolie made me a wonderful breakfast of eggs and bacon and even served in bed with super cute cards and beautiful flowers, it really was so sweet of them. The breakfast was really good, which actually surprised me since Rich doesn't cook often. After breakfast Rich took care of the kids so I could just lay around in bed and take a little nap, it was honestly awesome! Now both kids are napping and Rich is with is Mom. Once the girls wake up we are off to hang with my Mom and Grandma and then eat dinner, it sure has been a great day!

Tomorrow is a super huge day as Jolie turns 4 years old! It is hard to believe that my little muffin has gone from that gorgeous little baby to a smart and active and still beautiful 4 year old, amazing! Will post this week all about Jolie's Birthday!

The Gym

Today was an unusual Friday as normally I have meetings and spend half the day in the office but this week my boss is on vacation and I don't need anything at the office so I got to go to the gym. At Christmas last year I decided that I wanted the gym to be a big part of 2010 for me. I wanted to loose weight and get in better shape so I got a gym membership from Rich for Christmas and I did a really good job for a while of going almost daily. After my Grandma died my life got even busier and I kind of gave up on the gym but now that I am pregnant I am really trying to get back into the routine of going. My big fear of this pregnancy is that I am going to gain 6o pounds again (of which I still haven't lost all of what I gained with Jolie) so I am determined to be so much healthier this time around. I am eating better and going to the gym! I had an amazing workout this morning.....I did the treadmill and the bike and then some weight training (low weight, high repetition), I feel amazing!! I am really feeling pretty good thus far through the pregnancy. Don't get me wrong I have moments of throwing up and nausea, which with my job isn't always fun or easy but at least I am moving along. It is amazing to know that I am growing another living being in my womb. Being a Mom is the greatest thing I have ever done and I can't wait til the moment I get to hold my baby, I am so excited!!!
