Magical Jumping Beans - Welcome to the Third Trimester

Now it's really starting to feel "real".  I don't know where I've been for the past 27 weeks, but time is flying by and its crazy to think we'll be getting to meet our sweet baby girl very soon.  In the meantime, she's definitely having her way in mommy's belly.  She reminds me of those magical jumping beans! Pop, Kick, Push, Twirl - all the time, any time.  It's WONDERFUL!

Hopefully we'll be finalizing her crib and bedroom in the next few weeks so we can start to focus on getting a clue about what to do and expect at delivery and beyond.  To all my mommy friends, I hope you're OK with crazy midnight calls and emails when I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing... hehe .... just kidding - hopefully I'll be able to figure it out or go with the flow.

So if you're wondering just HOW BIG I'm getting....check it out.  I feel like I double in size overnight.  I guess she's just busy growing.

Daddy received a special message from Baby on Father's Day and we're also so proud of him for obtaining his certified orthotist credentials for work!  We celebrated with Starbucks Cake Pops - YUM!  

Getting excited about the next few months ahead and so grateful to all our family and friends!  We are blessed, blessed, blessed!

Babymoon at Sea

No doubt a babymoon vacation has been long overdue so we finally got our chance to takeoff a few weeks ago.  We boarded our cruise ship in Port Canaveral and headed to the Bahamas for some R&R and tons o' food!!! OMG! 

The weather was great and thank the good Lord I was feeling fabulous!  No sea sickness or queasiness - Whoo Hoo!  We spent one day at the cruise line's private island, Coco Cay, and another day in Nassau where we enjoyed our own walking tour and then grabbed a ferry over to Atlantis.  The rest of the time was spent at sea poolside and veggin' in general. 

Like I mentioned, there was definitely a lot of eating but -believe it or not- Daddy beat out Mommy on the scale gain...haha...of course, he more than shed all of it the week we returned.  I can't say the same, but that's OK!  :)

Check out some of the fun we had!

Escargot anyone? 

We usually shared 2 or 3 desserts per night! YUMMY.

Strolling the shops in Nassau.

We also sampled multiple main courses...YEP!

Our dinner crew.  Very cool people from allover. 

Can we say Dessert, Dessert, Dessert?  HEAVEN!

I could have easily stayed on the ship another week for sure!

Now it's back to Home Sweet Home and getting things ready for Baby!

5 Yr Anniversary - A Walk Down the Memory Aisle

On May 12th we celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary by spending the day together and heading back to some of our favorite Wedding Day spots in Winter Park, FL.  Our great friend, Phil, came along and captured some sweet and special moments while we reminisced. 

Below are some of the awesome photos he captured.  You can see more of Phil's work at Pineapple Portraits on Facebook or at www.pineappleportraits.com.

We were at 21 Weeks at this time...WOW...baby & belly are definitely growing!    :)
