Babymoon

The first bite of lobster roll sends a warm shiver of joy down my spine and at last this craving is tamed!  Each of my babies have turned my normally healthy, whole food loving self into an alien fixated on a food that isn't normally on my radar.  This little one wants lobster...a lot!

So what's a girl with a serious lobster-monkey to do?  Beg her wonderful husband to take her to Maine and eat as much and many of the critters as I can find!  Seriously.  Every.  Single.  Meal.

Turns out Maine is April is still pretty chilly.  We step off the dinky little plane and I reach to zip my coat - only to discover that my 24 week belly is already too big.  This means just one thing...time to go shopping!  Double luck, we were just around the corner from the first LL Bean and while this isn't one of my usual clothing go-tos, they had plenty of warm, wool sweaters perfect for a rainy, Maine spring.  For bonus points we scored a few new pieces for Drew who is notorious for being both excruciatingly picky and hating to shop!

Check out this moody gloom:

With this being only our second kid-free trip since we had Kit, I wish we had taken more selfies together.  I think this is our only one of the whole weekend!  With Baby #3 coming in a few short months, I'm so grateful for the much needed Ali/Drew time without any outside demands.
