What a great week! We had the perfect mix of relaxing and going to small things we had planned. Starting with Mothers Day. The ladies took part in the Breast Cancer walk in Philadelphia and then the guys met us out for Mothers Day Brunch after.

Here is my mom and I and my baby daddy and I after brunch.

We tried to sleep in all week, but for some reason the dogs did not understand this concept. So, we enjoyed coffee out of our personalized mugs (a combo of our last names) and we took turns making breakfast for each other.

There is definitely a Benny head in the bottom of that picture. I swear, no personal space in this house.

Since the hubby was able to enjoy a variety of new beers, he decided he would perfect his mocktail for me so I could look fancy too. I think he went as far as muddling raspberries and mint together and then mixing some kind of seltzer concoction together for me. It was actually really delish.

This photo was taken after our couples massage. I think we are sleeping with our eyes open at this point, it was soooo relaxing!

One of the nice things about vaca was dressing like a real person all week. No scrubs for me!

This outfit: Forever21 top, Old Navy Maternity leggings, Target sandals (old), Forever21 necklace (also old)

These pics are from one of our date nights during the week. We tried a new-to-us restaurant in Philadelphia called Valanni. If you live in the area, I would definitely recommend it. They have a fabulous happy hour menu with half priced drinks and appetizers. The menu is mostly tapas style, which is my favorite because you get to try a variety of things.

This pic was from a surprise for the hubby. He always gets Cinnabon in the airport when we go on vacation, so I made him a Cinnabon breakfast in bed. What is with them letting dogs in at this resort? Seriously...they would not leave us alone.  I see her eyeing up my fruit.

Near the end of the week we went to a food truck festival in Philadelphia with some friends. It was a really cool experience. It was crazy crowded though, so the next time we go to one we will have a better game plan about how to navigate the food trucks and get food a little faster. We ended up going to a cart serving burritos (the alien growing inside of me cannot get enough Mexican food in her life). The burritos were seriously huge, so I was full after our first food truck. Typical. Oh well, next time I will be on a mission to try more things.

So, in summary, I think we did a pretty darn good job about enjoying our vacation time, even if we did not travel this time. No complaints here!

This weekend we got the answer to the question keeping us up all night: boy or girl? We had dinner with close friends and family (who showed what they guessed by wearing a pink or blue pin) and then we cut the reveal cake:

I was so nervous, crazy right...I mean this is no big deal right? And the result...

We are having a girl! I knew it, the hubby on the other hand was completely shocked. He had completely convinced himself we were having a boy. He could not stop smiling though, he is going to be such a sucker for a little girl.

We cannot wait to meet her! And now I can get my shop on for the nursery and clothes! We already made our first purchase this weekend:

How ridiculously cute are these bloomers? I was sold on the packaging! Obsessed.

This weekend has been a blur. We have been very busy with a bunch of house projects and then, not sure if you heard, but yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. Kind of a big deal around here since I married into an Irish family. Since I am out of commission in the drinking department, I thought I would make the food. We had:

Shepherds Pie (the recipe I showed you here)
Bangers & Mash (a recipe from Pinterest)
Irish Soda Bread (a la Wegmans-and it was seriously amazing)

This is the picture of the bangers and mash from the actual recipe-I served mine from a crockpot, so it made for a much less appealing photo. Oh well. My lack of profesh photo skills was outweighed by how ridiculously good this recipe was. I only want my mashed potatoes served with cabbage and bacon from now on. Period.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

This week is a big one for us. We have our 20 week ultrasound-fingers crossed we can find out the sex of the baby!

Girl or boy? We shall see...

We are huge fans of our town's farmer's market.  Since I have a normal person's schedule now, I can actually go every Saturday which is so exciting!  Here are some of our farmer's market purchases for this weekend:

We bought some fresh squash, romaine lettuce, raspberries, mushrooms, and onions as well as some skirt steak and hot pork sausages from the local grass-fed meat stand.  There is also a healthy dog treat stand, so we got the pups some good stuff since they accompanied us to the market.

We grilled everything up tonight and had a fabulous and fresh dinner to end our weekend.  We are really lucky with what our farmer's market has to offer.  Not only do they have a huge selection of fruits, veggies, and plants, but there is a local fresh fish stand, grass-fed meat, fresh breads, and cheeses are sold as well.  Super bonus: everyone is really dog friendly so these fools enjoyed themselves.

P.S. We tried to grill the romaine we bought to make a salad similar to this recipe that I posted way back here.  It actually turned out really well and it tasted like the one we love from a local restaurant.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
