Cocoa Beach Get Away!

Thanks to a wonderful Christmas coupon from mom and dad, we enjoyed a little family vacation at the beach this past weekend. It was a final hurrah, one last outting before this little family of 3 becomes a family of 4!

Let me tell you, my child is obsessed with the beach. Often, when he is in one of his fiesty moods, he will yell at me "BEACH, NOW!!"(I find it rather humorous so usually let him get away with such bad behavior) anyway, how can you beat waking up, walking out to the beach for a few hours, hitting the pool, walking back up to your room for a nap, back out to the beach, pool, dinner... HEAVEN!

We let Jack Jack eat as many chips as he wanted! For breakfast even!

April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Isn't that the cutest baby shower theme you've ever heard?

April Showers May Flowers

And here they are... the beauties behind the whole thing. You know when you get these two involved it's going to be good... and it was AMAZING!!! I know there were many more contributors... thank you to all who made this event absolutely PERFECT. I couldn't feel more loved, more blessed and happier!

My beautiful sisters and mother-in-law.

So many goodies!!

My friends and family!

Maternity Pictures

Okay, so I know this may be a total onslaught of photos and posts of myself... apparently once I get going I cannot stop! But on a more serious note, one thing I wish I had done with my first pregnancy was have maternity pictures taken! It was hard to fit in while I worked full time up until the day I went into labor (at least that is the valid excuse I tell myself to feel better about it). And since you never know what pregnancy will be your last I was not going to let this one go by without them! I am so so happy how they turned out!! Would you believe they were done by my very own sister-in-law Kara, with the help of Shelly?! More on those 2 crazy cats in the next post (my a-m-a-z-i-n-g baby shower). So just get ready for more of yours truly.

6 Weeks and Counting...

Our little baby girl is due in exactly 6 weeks! We had another ultrasound today to make sure the placenta wasn't going to pose a problem during delivery. Everything looked perfect! We are getting so excited for her arrival and today just fueled the fire! Here is a picture we took just yesterday - at 34 weeks!

The Preggo

I was talking to my mom the other day and was telling her how huge I'm getting (and how huge I'm feeling) and she replied... "Well I wouldn't know because you never post pictures of yourself." And it's true! So this one is for you mom!!

I always enjoy seeing pictures people post of themselves pregnant. It's so fun to see how you progress. I've actually done a pretty good job of taking pictures of myself throughout this pregnancy I just haven't posted any!!

And while I'm typing about my pregnancy I'll tell you a little bit about it. First, I want to say that I absolutely, positively love being pregnant! I love feeling the baby move - and she is a mover!! More so than Jack ever was. And she has been transverse which is why I think I feel her a lot more than I did before (I don't think she is transverse anymore but it's hard to tell). I love having a pregnant body, love the big belly, and I am carrying her all in front and a little bit higher than with Jack. This explains the nasty heartburn I've been having (that will even wake me in the middle of the night) and I find myself a little short of breath more often as well but in general, those are my only complaints! And on the flip side of that I only have to get up and pee once during the night! I am so lucky because I feel great during pregnancy. And I love being able to eat anything and everything I want without feeling guilty! I have 7 more weeks to go and I could keep myself up for hours at night thinking about what next month will bring. What will labor and delivery be like? What will SHE be like?? It is so fun right now... knowing we will soon be a family of 4, feeling like she is a part of our family already, but not changing any diapers yet, no getting up a million times in the night to feed her and still only wrangling my 2 year old in the grocery store. (which, by the way, I thought yesterday while grocery shopping - how on earth do women grocery shop with 2 kids???)

Can't wait to meet you baby girl Munns! We have another ultrasound in a few days and I'm looking forward to seeing you one last time before the big day, whenever that may be!

These were taken 2 weeks ago, at 31 weeks.
