Well, last week was supposed to be our babymoon. It was a nice week but definitely not what we had in mind. The trip started out with me having a horrible cold that put a damper on things. We arrived Sunday, May 24th. The resort was gorgrous. Here's the link but the pictures don't do it justice...

& some pics of our room...
That night we took a taxi into Cabo and went to Walmart to stack up on groceries for the week. He had a late lunch/ early dinner and relaxed for the remainder of the evening. Monday, we went to the skypool. It was awesome. Basically built on top of the mountain and the water overflows the sides so it looks and feels like your swimming on the edge. Here's our picture, but again it doesn't do it justice.
Since everything is built on a hill, and it's a 50 acres rssort, you had to use golf carts to go anywhere. When we were leaving the sky pool, I didn't see any golf carts so we decided to just walk down the small distance to our suite's building. This proved to be Lacy's greatest mistake! I fell. My leg went behind me and I felt and heard a "pop". I thought I broke it. I got xrays today at the hospital (one week later) and was assured that it isn't broken - just sprained badly. Here's a pic of my ankle as of last week. It looks about the same now plus a little brusing...
So, Monday we went to the on-site doctor. She put an ace wrap on it and told me to stay off of it for a week. Lovely, right =) Monday night we ordered in room service and just tried to get through the night without too much crying. I was in a lot of pain but I didn't want to take any tylenol or anything. Poor Jimmy had to basically work his entire vacation. The crutches proved to be too much (they only had them to accomadate a 5'10'' to 6'4'' person, so I was basically swinging) so we traded them in for a wheelchair.
Tuesday, I woke up feeling a lot better. It still hurt but as long as I stayed still, there wasn't constant pain. I really needed a shower, which proved to be just awesome. I'm definitely being sarcastic. We had to bring a chair in off of our balcony, put a towel on it and have me sit on it in the shower. It was a mess and I think poor Jimmy had at least 10 heart attacks worrying about me in the 20 minutes that it lasted. We stayed in the room until about 4 and then Jimmy agreed to wheel me to some of the little stores on the resort, and then to dinner. The food on the resort was DELICIOUS! My favorite was a french onion soup that was to die for and Jimmy had the reuben sandwich every day except one I believe. He said it was the best ever.
Wednesday, I was feeling a little better so we made our way to a pool and sat around for a little while and then had dinner that night. Nothing too exciting but we were excited to be out of the room.
Thursday, I was out of the wheel chair!!!! Yeah for me. I was limping pretty badly but determined to make it work. I could only make it from room to golf cart to beach chair or restaurant but I was soo happy. We stayed at the pool for most of the day and then went into Cabo for dinner that night. We ate at a place called Felix's. It was rated #2 in Cabo on tripadvisor.com. It was pretty yummy and it had a salsa bar that was really neat. You got 6 little cups and you could choose from the 20 salsas they had prepared. If you know me, you know that I am a chip and salsa freak!
Friday, we spent the day at the main pool, which was the largest one. It was definitely a frustrating day because we sat directly behind about 7 college age girls that were RIDICULOUS. They would not shut up and each one wanted to be the center of attention. They were so annoying. Here's Jimmy sitting by the pool....
You will not see any pictures of me on this post, because there aren't any. I erased them all because I looked like a gross disgusting bloated mess. That is all. Friday night, we ate at the resort again.
Saturday was awesome. It stunk that it was our last day but we definitely enjoyed it to the fullest. We leg was feeling wonderful and we spent the majority of the day back at the sky pool. It was warm and sunny and perfect. We'd lay out for about 20 minutes and swim for 20. The water was finally warm - like bath water. It was soo nice. We were a little upset that we had made plans that night and we were about the just stay and forget about the money we spent but I started burning up so we made our way back to the room to get ready. Oh, by the way, the weather all week was BEAUTIFUL but very windy. Still hot but the wind was strong enough to blow you over if you weren't careful. Our last 2 days that stopped and was back to normal Mexican gorgeousness. That night we went on a sunset sailing trip in Cabo. It was a 2 hour sail and we were very happy that we went. Here are some pics...
They had music and an open bar! Jimmy took advantage of 3 diet cokes and I had one virgin fruit punch =) Afterwards, we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant at the marina. Jimmy and I both agreed that this area looked alot like Georgetown in DC. Very pretty. The only downside of Saturday was that I didn't keep my ankle elevated most of the day and it was SWOLLEN and throbbing by the time we climbed into bed. But that didn't put a damper on the day, whatsoever. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Sunday brought another beautiful day but it was time for us to leave. We caught our flight home at 1 pm (3 pm home time) and got to the airport at 11 pm. The flight was uneventful except that one of our bags got left behind. We actually were not surprised at all based on the rest of the trip =) Jimmy got a call from his boss and was told he needed to come into work the next day (he wasn't supposed to start the new job until Tuesday) so we had to stop at CVS on the way home and get toiletry items since that was what was in the lost bag. We got home at 2:30ish, he was asleep by 3 and back up at 5.
Above all else, I feel AWFUL for Jimmy. I was so excited for him to have a relaxing week off before starting his new, more stressful job. I researched a long time trying to find an amazing place to go and in the end, it would've been much better if we had just stayed home and relaxed for the week. He had to really work the entire time. He had to get me my clothes, make my food, wheel me around (including about 4 times average a night to pee - thank you baby bean) and just about everything else you can think of. He is the most awesome man ever. I definitely owe him big time. But for now, he is still taking care of me. Between the long day on Saturday and the 11 hours at the airport Sunday, my ankle got a lot worse and I am layed up and can't walk at all without pain.
Hopefully, we'll get to spend a long weekend somewhere together before baby arrives. We definitely couldn't call this our babymoon. I am such a complainer. Man. But you had to be there =)
More happy posts to come I am sure!
