Cabo San Lucas

We love a get away at our house. My mom and Rick generously let us tag along on their Mexican vaca again. :). This trip we really just wanted to veg. Jon had been feeling pretty run down with his school & work schedule and I wanted a nice rest before the baby came so we headed out to California (for our friend Garrett's wedding) and then on to Mexico. We were able to spend a little time with Jon's parents, sisters and their families in California as well which was great.

The Resort
It was our first time in Cabo and the water was beautiful, temps were hot and the pool nice and cold. Jon liked the water slide at the resort, shocker I know. Only downer, they allowed people to smoke at the pool. Which is annoying for anyone that doesn't smoke but really annoying when you have a bun in the oven. My mom got super protective of the little guy and me and we kept moving around. :) She's such a good MaDeb.





Pool time
This is where we spent the majority of our time. Nice & relaxing.










"If you like pina coladas..."
We went to this restaurant quite a few times and they had the best pina coladas. They were huge and cheap. We pretty much had them every night.









The Crazy Waves
The first few days in Cabo, there were small waves but then three days in these huge waves started to roll in. It's kind of hard to see in the picture but the waves were a good 20 to 30 feet at times and would wash up to the hotel baring walls and they would sound like thunder. Really fun to watch.







Oh The Buses!!!!
The buses were crazy. They did not have shocks what so ever. So every tiny bump felt like a mountain but they were cheap and went where we needed to go.







Ice Cream...Yummy!
You can't go on vacation with my mom and not get ICE CREAM. Not going to lie it was way yummy :)






The Marina
One night we decided to cruise the marina, which turned into being stalked by every restaurant to eat there. But we still had a good time.








Lovers Beach & Divorce Beach
I loved this place. It was right across the Sea of Cortez. But because of the crazy waves they could not bring the boats onto Lovers Beach so we decided to hike over the rocks (even my mom with her back and knee and Rick with his knee) to both beaches. It was beautiful! I loved the rock formations and amazing water. This lady loves a little adventure.

Walking the Streets
Most nights after dinner we walked the streets of Cabo which was a nice way to get a little exercise and see the city. Don't worry we would eventually catch the bus back....this pregger lady would get tired! :)

16 Weeks......It's a Boy!!!!

First of all can I say we love, love, love our doctor, Dr. Ollerton @ Valley OBGYN. He has an awesome and fun bedside manner......that and he let me find out the gender of the baby at my 16 week appointment. I went in for routine appointment and he asked if we should try for a gender. Jon was not there but he is so mellow I knew he would be okay with it!I told him my mom would be so excited because she jokingly had asked if I could find out so how could I resist. After no time at all on the not so great ultra sound machine, he found a little penis. At first I was little sad because I really thought he was a girl and I was prepared for that. But as I thought about it I became really excited. Yes I might turn him into a mama's boy but oh well. After my appointment I drove straight to Jon's work and showed him some ultrasound pics. As soon as he saw the one marked boy, he got the biggest smile on his face....he said he knew it was a boy :) We are completely and utterly excited to welcome this little boy into our family and can't wait to meet him.

Baby Conley @ 12 weeks, 3 days

The first picture.....so precious, right? I know its a little bean but we love it!!! It actually took a while to get into the doctor because we wanted to be seen in a specific office location, the American Fork office. Jon and I both work in AF so we figured it was a pretty logical choice, right? Guess again, the lady I spoke with to schedule was soooooooooooo bugged with me. She kept telling me the doctor wanted to see me between 8 and 10 weeks and I needed to go the Orem office. Granted its only 10 to 15 minutes further each way but that adds up with time missed from work for both of us. And I was almost 8 weeks already when I called to schedule, yup I am a procrastinator. I was fine with waiting for an AF appointment to open up but she sooooooo was not. She kept huffing and puffing and I was trying my hardest not to laugh. She finally got me in a month later to the AF office after much negotiation. Who would have thought, right??? :) Oh well, when I went in for the first appointment I was a little over 12 weeks. They did an ultrasound to make sure the dates were accurate. Our doctor, Dr. Ollerton, commented on how its kind of rare to see a hand on such an early ultrasound and Jon who had been pretty silent the whole appointment (pap smear so not his thing!) says, "that's because I have big hands". I started busting up so hard. I swear only my husband would say that as we have the first ultrasound of our first child. Love him!!!
