So, we are getting there! The weekend "getaway" hasn't happened, but we had an awesome weekend together this last weekend. Saturday we slept in, got some projects done, drove to the lavendar farm, had frozen yogurt, and cooked a delish dinner. Sunday we went out for a fancy pants brunch, and later to the beach. Even if we don't make it away somewhere together, we're trying to do lots of little one on one things in the meantime.

Other than that, everything for the baby is washed, organized, and put away. All the major things on our to-do list are done and the rest is just icing on the cake. Well, I suppose we really should choose a baby name. And make a labor playlist BEFORE I'm in labor:)
