Babymoon, Hill Country Style!

For a short vacation, Mohammad and I visited a resort in Texas Hill Country over Thanksgiving week.  It was gorgeous!

Pregnant ladies need breaks...



Isn't he handsome?











I'm not sure if my belly can get much bigger!


Halloween 2014!

This is our first Halloween with our little pumpkin.  He's not able to dress up yet, but he sure does enjoy candy!

So Much Life Going On!

My goodness!  So much has happened since we came back from our New England/Canada trip.  Just one day after we returned, we found out we're having a BABY!!!  Let me just tell you now, pregnancy is not easy!  I was extremely sick for the first three months.  I was vomiting 5+ times each day and did not leave the house at all.  I didn't really even leave the bed to tell you the truth.  Early on in the pregnancy we found out we are having a little boy.  We are so excited!  Even though I'm now 25 weeks, we still do not have any names picked out.  However, the baby's room is almost complete.  We are going with a Peter Pan theme.  Shortly after we announced to the world that we are having a little baby boy (see pic below) we found out that Mohammad's older brother and sister-in-law are pregnant as well!  They are just 10 weeks behind us, and are having a little boy as well.  It will be so exciting to see our kiddos play together.
We're pregnant with a little boy!
At the end of August, around half way through my pregnancy, we took a short trip to Las Vegas and Utah to visit family and see my little cousin get married!  In Vegas my family (minus my bro and sis-in-law) saw Ka by Cirque Du Soleil .  It was amazing!  During the show there was some loud drumming and each time the drumming started I could feel our little boy giving me some strong kicks!

One of my favorite parts!  There was real snow falling.

The girls (minus Kellie)
In Utah we got to spend a couple days hanging out with my Mom's side of the family.  It was so nice to see them.  My Uncles took Mohammad, my sister, and me to Zion on the morning of the wedding.
In Zion
Can you tell that I'm pregnant?  I mean... that belly is big!

Jordin's wedding was so wonderful.  She looked just stunning and her husband is super sweet.  Plus, I got to meet my little cousin once removed, for the first time.

Aren't they gorgeous?

Enjoying some BBQ with my Grandma

After the Las Vegas/Utah trip, I decided no more air travel for me until after the baby is born.

Main Lobstah!

The drive from Quebec City back to Main was so beautiful!

And the Canada side was full of farms

And trees, trees, and more trees.

And little lake houses

We stopped here at this huge lake where Moose are supposed to be roaming around everywhere

It was so nice

And a little chilly

The schools looked like something out of a story book

Yes!  Moose signs!

As we were driving around looking for Mooses we found a deer

And another deer!

Mohammad is standing in the spot where we saw our one and only moose!

Here's the mooses' footprints.
Mohammad wanted to chase him through the woods to get a better look, but I was against it.

The lake was gorgeous!

It started pouring as we headed further south.

We arrived in Kennebunkport ME!

This awesome art gallery had the coolest wind chimes

Look at all of them!

Lobster traps used as tables for the famous "crab shack"

We found this old monastery where they let us wander around 

A very old outdoor church

It was so mysterious with the heavy fog and mist

We wandered around a bit

There were little statues and relics all over

And the forest was so picturesque

The city is so delightful

The sign says it all

Another quaint little New England city.

Such a cute sign, and husband of mine :)

Isn't this like out of a movie?

The water was steamy for some reason

We found this one house with a yard full of bird houses

Look at those waves!

This is the Bush compound.  We were actually there the weekend their puppy died :(

This little boat was named after me!

Mohammad and I on the Lobster pier with hundreds of lobster traps!  It smelt sooo bad!

We watched the sun set from the pier before heading to a fancy dinner

Our last day we traveled to some light houses



And look at these house covered hills!  So beautiful!

We went on a whale watching tour!

We saw a few seals and porpoise 

Us at the helm of the boat!  We're on top of the world!

Mohammad and a light house!!!
