Baby J, Pregnancy

26 weeks

Well, my little man is growing fast now and doing little somersaults. He is the size of a scallion and can hear our voices. All I want to eat is Halloween candy, or fresh cut fruit, or just a bunch of carbs, ha. Give me some pasta, pizza or a hearty sandwich and I’m a happy pregnant woman. I broke a couple weeks ago and went to Motherhood Maternity in Capitola, and bought some amazingly comfortable leggings. I’m tempted to go buy some more. Didn’t go for the jeggings though. Just couldn’t do it. Now I just need to invest in some bigger bras, ha. I have a little bit more energy now, too, and have even pulled out my Perfect Pregnancy Workout DVD {love it!}. We start our child-birthing class next week — I’m so excited.

 

{Happy Halloween friends!}

Baby J, beach house

Waking up at the beach house

Happy Fall, friends! Well, I have more news. We moved. I don’t know what is wrong with us, but we tend to move every year. This marks the 5th place we’ve lived in almost 6 years of marriage. It’s exhausting to think about. Especially when you’re 5 months pregnant. Thankfully Rob did the moving and I the packing! Although I truly hate moving, I really LOVE our new place. We’d been looking for months for something bigger, and when this place popped up we didn’t hesitate — only 4 blocks from the beach! Pretty surreal. We had 2 weeks to get in, and literally had to make the decision overnight to keep the place. But, it all worked out. And now we live in a legit beach house, and can smell the ocean from our backyard.  Plus, we now have a room for the baby. It might be my favorite room in the whole house ;) This weekend we woke up in our new place and embraced Fall. I love this time of year and am already watching Hocus Pocus and lighting the spice candles. We made breakfast, brewed some coffee and hot chocolate, and went for a long walk on the beach. It was a beautiful morning. I can’t help but thank God for this new place. Even better, we’re going to be a family in this house {!!!}.

And then it happened

I cried. I felt the baby move or “bop” a couple times {I think}. And I cried. While watching Safe Haven. This baby thing is real I guess. So, I took a picture to document. Ha.
