Some people get normal breakfasts, but not Ken. Ken *always* likes to experience the local cuisine and eat whatever they suggest. Breakfasts are usually his time to experiment and explore new foods. This is salted fish with Antiguan chop. And yep, he ate it for breakfast. Oatmeal or salted fish? Easy choice for Ken!

The hotel makes their own organic jam with local fruits. I am not sure exactly what type of fruit jams they were, but in any case, they were delicious and I could not stop eating them....

I am a sucker for all pastry baskets.

Each morning they had a "special juice" -- on this particular day it was papaya and pineapple. So tasty -- it was like drinking a papaya whole. And the lattes were a special treat as well.

Ken was engrossed with his book "Steve Jobs" the entire time. He found it inspirational, motivating, and captivating. I, too, read a great book -- "The Marriage Plot."

At our resort, each room was a little hut. It was a small and secluded area with only 25 rooms, so it was incredibly quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.

The water was as beautiful and clear as it looks in this photo.

The view from our lunch deck. Situated in a bay, lots of sailboats would dock overnight for the calm water.

The beach was a third grass, a third seashells, and a third sand.

The pool and bar area. Normally, I find myself situated at pools, but the beach was so close to everything that we parked there instead.

Early morning beach view.

The water activity area, filled with kayaks, sailboats, jet skis, paddle boats, and snorkeling gear.

The only sounds you really ever heard were the rolls of the water, boats in the distance, and birds chirpping away. These birds were some aggressive Mo Fos, always attacking any food we had at our table.

Sleepy Ken getting his morning coffee ready!

All three of these items are always in the kitchen, so this treat makes an easy go to snack!

Frozen bananas.

Vitamix is like your computer -- a little machine that can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.

Hey, why not, right???

Delicious MUSHY "ice cream"

The invitation

The show started at 2 pm. I got there at 2 on the dot. And it was so crowded, that this was my view. Hi Aunt Aida! Yep, no special treatment for me!

Champagne and Godiva Chocolate -- Whaddup?? Don't you love the fashion industry? Boozing on the job or on a break at 2 on a Tuesday? Nothing like going back to the office with a buzz from your "dentist" appointment.

Not sure who this man is, but I looked at the models walk down the stairs through his smart phone video. And don't you just love his hair? (Ben from The Bachelor should take note of *this* hairstyle)

So many photographers, bloggers, store representatives, friends, and important people! OOH LA LA!

The models walked down the staircase instead of a runway. Very glamorous and unique.

The models en route down the stairs together.

The show lasted for 45 minutes -- the first presentation was ridiculously crowded and packed (always a good sign), and then the models repeated the performance a second time around. This was the line up at the end of the first. Mega applause!

Check out the bright and deep colors! LOVE! SWOON! GASP!

I am not sure WHO this lady is, but can we talk about how awesome she looks? Her hat???? Her makeup?? Her fur??? You should have seen her shoes!!! (Is she for reals?)

Gorgeous and practical.

Beautiful model. Beautiful outfit.

Love this look.

Gorilla arms. Making a comeback.

MY FAVORITE ENSEMBLE. The dress, the coat. I WANT! I NEED!

How hot is this gold sparkle peeking out of the brown sweater? Another thing that I need PRONTO.

Elegant coat and POC (pop of color). Love.

Important People in the Biz: Bobbi Queen (WWD), Julie Ann Reinhart from Natori merchandising, Designer Josie Natori, Etta Froio (WWD).

Hubby-licious.

All together. Overall, the models looked to-die-for in their Shiseido Hair and Make up, Mongolian style buns, and the handcrafted and dreamy Josie Natori Ready to Wear!

HUGE round of applause for all the hard work, determination, dedication, love, and passion of Josie Natori!

Big huge smile on teeny tiny lady.

The end.

Pre-dinner pic. We have been doing this every week to document my increasing largeness. Hello, belly!

Entrance to Barney's. We ate at Fred's on the 9th floor, our local fave.

Elevator to dinner. Uber nervous. (As you can see, I got super dressed up for the big night...)

Elevator to dinner. Also nervous. But looking way more dapper and put together than me....

J2 stands for "Junior #2" -- we called Cruzzie "Junior" when in belly. The envelope was so sturdy and thick that you couldn't see through it even if you tried...not that I tried....

Signed over the seal by Ken. And taped. Just in case. 100% protected.

Nervous smile and laugh....

Much more calm and collected....like always in comparison to me.

OMG!!! What I always dreamed of!!! (My first thought was -- whoa, the technician wrote a sentence instead of just one word).

In absolute disbelief. So excited. Best birthday present ever.

Giggly and thrilled.

Emotional and sentimental. Ken is going to have a "Papa's Little Girl!"

Hard to believe....

Time for birthday profiteroles!

The ice cream is melting away......as I gab and gab on the telephone.

Yummy. Gestational diabetes here I come....

Slinky jersey fabric that is super smooth and cool to the touch, with an incredibly flattering fit. SOLD!

Look at the beautiful details in the lace at the top of the chemise. Love.

What a perfect name for a bra for Valentine's Day....Temptress....

Once again, Josie does it with the hidden little details that make a bra special. The red scalloped eyelet embroidery at sides and center, make it sparkle.

By far one of my favorite bras. Featured in In Style magazine, this bra is an intricate bustier bra with allover fishnet lace. Comfortable and sexy at the same time. (Like the backdrop? I am getting creative....it is my favorite lamp and piece of furniture in my mother-in-law's apartment. TO DIE FOR -- both the bra and the lamp).

Better viewpoint.

Don't forget that the purpose of Valentine's Day is to shower those you love with love and kisses. So love and kiss....wearing Josie!

Sylwia truly is a renaissance woman. A thinker, a mother, a wife, a dreamer, a writer, and more! AND LOOKING EVER SO FABULOUS AND CHIC at the same time. Who knew that this was possible?

She sells DVDs and ipod workouts on her website. They are awesome -- especially if you don't live in NYC. And they make you sweat! At home -- in your living room!

Uh yeah, check out those ABS. I didn't know stomach muscles could look like that...

All you need for Tonique is a towel, 2 pound weights, water, and commitment. OH, and heart and stamina too.

If you attend her class, you have to leave your ego at the door, because you will SUCK in comparison to everyone else. Everyone wears itty-bitty shorts with their hot bods, but don't be shy....they worked at it and earned it!

One of the bazillion and two variation of lunges.

And more kicks.

And more kicks.....And not to be totally inappropriate, but Sylwia has TWO kids and her tush looks this good. I mean, really, doesn't it make you want to attend one of her classes TODAY????

Barbie Doll Pamela.

Fitness Magazine, October 2011. Sylwia modeling her moves, herself!

Oh, lordie, this inspires me to go eat more cookies...

Colorful ingredients -- green, orange, purple, and white!

I never used to have sesame seeds in the cupboard until recently, and MAN, do they come in handy!

I tend to have multiple types of kale in the fridge. Fresh, normal kale with stems and leaves, and then a box of baby kale mix. So excited to see baby kale mix in grocery stores these days -- a perfect substitute for lettuce in salad or in sandwiches.

Mix it!

DONE!

Voila! Finit! Dinner! Kale salad, chicken roullade, roasted potatoes, and a glass of lemondade.
