Dinner on the Beach

Rob and I have made it a tradition to have dinner on the beach and watch the sunset one night a week. It is quite spectacular! I love how the beach is never crowded, the powdered sugar sand, the calm water, and ALL the cool seashells. People will come to the beach just to see the sunsets and they all clap once the sun has gone down like they had just seen a firework show. It is funny.

There is a baby in my belly the size of an ear of corn...crazy right!?

22 weeks

The past 2 weeks I've gained 10 lbs. My belly popped out overnight. Baby is doing great and is VERY active. She loves to push on my bladder. When I poke on my belly, she will poke back. It is fun to play with her. I love being pregnant - especially all the changes that are happening to my body (eek). My belly button has suddenly disappeared - Rob thinks it's funny. I have enjoyed doing yoga and going on walks around Naples. Here are a few things I haven't been able to live without while being pregnant:

I don't know what I would do without these - I have every color.


My friend swears by this stuff - so far no stretch marks (cross your fingers)

Our condo is finally coming together. Except we need a few more things...our TV is on top of a box full of books - it works for now. We are loving Naples! We have made a lot of great friends already. I will post pictures of our condo and of Naples soon.

For Valentine's Day, Rob and I went to this yummy Italian restaurant in downtown Naples (reminds me of Balboa Island) call Pazzo!. We agreed on NO gifts, but Rob that little stinker got me the cutest gift....

Isn't it darling?! I love it and can't wait until she can wear it to the beach :)

Past 2 Weeks

Rob, baby, and I made it safely to Florida. In 10 days we moved across the country, started our new jobs, and found a place to live. We had a freight company ship everything we own (which isn't much) and we made our way in our little car across the country for the third time in 7 months. I begged Rob to let me fly but he wouldn't have it. I guess it was cool to have Texas shaped waffles again.

We decided to find a place to live once we arrived in Naples so we could see all of our options in person. Luckily, our great friend Christina Chatfield's parents let us stay at their beautiful home in the meantime. Thankfully we found a perfect condo that we can't wait to get settled in to. We unloaded everything last night and we are now headed to Fort Lauderdale for the weekend to visit friends.

Here are a few pictures of the past 10 days:

Everything we own 9 x 6 x 8. My dad packed it for us...he is the Tetris Master!

I am 20.5 weeks along and feeling great! She kicks and moves ALL the time...I love it. Especially after I eat and put headphones on my stomach.

Once I have time to get ready and look somewhat descent, I will post a belly picture for all of those who are requesting :). Stand by...
