How are you doing in there? From what Mommy can tell, you are getting bigger by the day. It's amazing. I can feel your little butt bump up against my belly, and little pokes from your feet and your toes. I didn't realize I'd be able to actually tell the difference so easily! And I've been telling Daddy you've officially upgraded from a basketball to a beach ball. At this rate, next month you'll be one of those big exercise balls!
This weekend, Mommy and Daddy had our "Babymoon." We didn't really go anywhere out of town, but we did get out of the house for the day and a night out, and even stayed at a hotel downtown.

We started our day with a couples massage at Sacred Hour. Daddy had never had a massage before, and it was so nice and relaxing. Daddy got a glass of champagne, and they used aromatherapy oils on Daddy- he picked out a grapefruit scented one. Mommy wasn't allowed to do either, since she's pregnant, but she could still smell Daddy's oil and it sure smelled good! Mommy's worried she created a monster- Daddy loved it, and might be going for monthly massages now. But oh well if he does- he works hard and deserves it.
For dinner we made a reservation at Greenhouse Tavern on East 4th street. It was so yummy! We started off with Animal Fries- french fries loaded with gravy, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and two fried eggs! So rich, and so good. Mommy and Daddy stuffed ourselves, and couldn't even finish the plate it was so huge. Daddy got a lamb burger, and Mommy got a steak and salad. Needless to say, I think you got your fill of protein after that meal. Simply delicious! When they say Cleveland is a foodie town, they aren't kidding.

After the comedy show we went back to our hotel- the Hilton Garden Inn downtown. Mommy won a gift certificate for a free night there from work. We played some games when we got back to the hotel, and just enjoyed alone time, even though we said how we missed Colie about a million times and talked about you a whole bunch too. We just can't believe you'll be here in 7 weeks! We got some snacks (Mommy got a Drumstick cone and chocolate acai berries, and Daddy got popcorn, Skittles, and somehow lost the Mentos he got on the ride up from the elevator, and Mommy had to hear about how disappointed he was about losing the Mentos about 50 times, lol. Silly Daddy.) The only other bad part of the night was someone set the fire alarm off around 11:00 PM, so we all had to go downstairs and wait in the lobby for a half hour. But luckily, we didn't have to go outside in the cold, and we got to go back upstairs and got a good night's rest.
In the morning, we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel. Daddy got a bagel, pancakes, bacon, and potatoes. Mommy ate a lot of your favorites that you've been craving- an omelet, some bacon, and a yogurt parfait with pineapple, bananas, and granola. You ate well again! So hopefully you soak it all up to keep growing big and strong.
It was great that Mommy and Daddy got to have a relaxing day and a night out the two of us. But don't think for one second that we aren't beyond excited for when you finally arrive, baby boy! We are just relishing every moment of this experience- being pregnant and getting to raise you together. We can't wait to meet you, Landon. But take your time in there, buddy. We want you to be as healthy as possible, even though we can't wait to hold you and see what you look like. We love you so much!!
Love you,
Mommy xoxo
