We Made It to the Beach!

So in my last post, I mentioned that we were doing a whole lot of deep cleaning in our place and I was hoping to finish early so that we could take Cosby to the beach. Well after the cleaning that we did for today we were just in time to grab some burgers from In n Out and head to the beach to enjoy the sunset! It was the perfect little date before Noah's arrival. Cosby was in heaven, chasing all the chickens (birds) and digging in the sand and running after random joggers hahaha! It was a good time filled with laughs and smiles. This was a date that I will treasure forever!

Of course I took my camera! Enjoy the pictures!

It was a beautiful sunset, I didn't even have to edit this pictures! I love God's creations. I love how artsy he is, how he paints the sky and lets us enjoy it! 

22+ Weeks!

You heard Right! I am 22 weeks and 3 days today! Seems like my belly just gets bigger and bigger overnight!!! It's starting to get a bit uncomfortable and in the way of doing certain things ( painting my toenails, and sleeping) but it's still going by fast, so no complaints here!
Since most of the update status for this week is the same as last week, I decided to share with you all what my birth plan is.

With God on my side and with this being a low risk pregnancy, David and I decided we are going all Natural! We decided this a couple months back after watching the documentary The Business of Being Born.

It had a lot of key points we agree with and overall I just want this to be as easy and simple as possible. I've also been talking to my neighbor about it all, she had a natural birth and a midwife, and it just seems very doable.  So I say God willing, we will do this natural, unless of course there are any complications. Now my insurance doesn't cover me getting a midwife, so I will be delivering at a hospital but I'll be provided with a doula to help with it all. =)
A lot of people think I'm crazy for not wanting any pain medication, but think about it, we were designed to do this so it must be something we can handle naturally. I'm excited, not nervous yet. Just very ready to have baby boy in my arms! =D

Crazy big belly!

Being pregnant and assisting with wedding photography has been going very well! It's very fun, and I always get asked about it. I do like the attention of people noticing I'm growing a person . ha it's fun! And I have the energy to be out and about for 6/7 hours at a wedding so I really enjoy it.

I'm still very hungry a lot of the day. I try and balance me craving junk food with something healthy. It can be hard because at times all I want is fries or sushi rolls but I do still snack on a lot of fruit, cheese and veggies.

My goofball of a Husband. I love this man, he's so so so helpful with everything! I don't even have to ask him to take the trash out, or do dishes or pick up his clothes, he's so good. *V entura county needs to hire this guy to be a firefighter! He's amazing!  ;)

I love getting pictures of David while he's at work! He took this and I responded: This is me at that same angle.. :

Where'd my face go?! Oh Noah hahaha

It's fun seeing all these changes. Another favorite thing is seeing how Cosby reacts to all the changes too! He's such a good pup. Always showing Noah love and sleeping next to him and giving the belly kisses. :) My boys are the best!

Well hello there!

I know! I Know, it's been too long since I last blogged! So much has happened and I've been busy but I will try and sum it all up with photos.

My life according to my iPhone:

Assisted with photographing an awesome wedding! photos to come soon! =)

I'm 14 Weeks now! Crazy right?! Bring it! Oh and cravings! yum!

I  love these two so freakin much! They complete me.

My Sweet dad got me the Diaper bag I wanted! And I didn't even ask! Someone's excited to be a grand-daddy!  Thanks daddy! 

Went hiking with my girl, my babe and Cosby! =) And we discovered that Cosby can swim!

Found these awesome books to read to my baby at the Goodwill! $0.49 each yes please!

Bought some onesies for baby. =) I couldn't help myself!

Made myself a necklace for the 4th of July. 

Got festive with my Nails!

Alright now for how the 4th of July went! Wednesday morning David came home from work, got ready, ate breakfast and headed over to my mom's house. From there we loaded up the cars with chairs, BBQ, Tent and food! Every Year, pretty much, we head to Santa Barbara, my hometown, to enjoy the beach and the Firework show at night. Our family had a whole section saved for all of us to cookout on and lounge on. We spent the day eating, making smores, relaxing and walking around to see who I'd find that I know. Boy did I find friends! I'd say I found at least 10 friends that day including one of my best friends since Kindergarten! Can you believe that?! And Guess what?! She's pregnant too and due any day now! She looked so cute!

Cosby's prob like "why is her belly out like that mama?" heehee

Her and I talked and talked and walked and walked and we ran into more people we knew. And one of them was ALSO PREGNANT! hahaha I'd say it's def. a baby boomer year!

The 3 Preggies. 

It was so fun getting to spend time with them. =) Cosby and David had a good time too! It was a cool day with clouds everywhere but it was perfect.

That evening, My dad and I had arranged for him to meet me in SB and then I'd go home with him for a couple nights just to hang out. David went home early and missed the fireworks since he had to work early the next morning. =( So my dad and I walked to the pier and enjoyed the awesome show with the TONS of people. 

My Dad and I

                            That loud shreeky scream is mine. Ha I get too excited and scream . =)
So that was our 4th of July. It was so fun! I spent the following two days at my dad's just spending time with him and the fam and watched movies, ate, and joked around.

I love it when my dad cooks. He's the bomb.

Drove around town, San Luis Obispo, went to the Christian store The Parable and saw this adorable wall  art. I plan on making something similar.

I look weird here. My sister Jamie was driving. Learning. So we take advantage. ha 

We went to MotherHood and she tried on a Fake belly. hahha mine's still bigger... lol

Then we went to Petco and saw these cute Hamsters with Huge .... well you know. Just look!

That night, Jamie and I stayed up watching Paranormal Activity and other movies. Ugh I don't know why I keep watching that Movie. The Following morning was Friday and David could not wait to have me home, he drove to Santa Barbara way before we agreed to ha he just couldn't wait.
For breakfast my stepmom made these.

Then Later in Santa Barbara we met up with David and he gave me a Big hug and kissed my belly. He wanted his babies with him. =)  We then treated my dad to Presto Pasta , my fave place to go to for Italian food.

I got the Shrimp Scampi! Yummy!

It was a great week! I can't wait for David to be home and go to church and then be lovebirds all around town. =) As for today this is me and Cosby:

We had woken up with David at 4am and stayed awake till after 7, than went back to sleep until 10. Then went for a nice ride. 

I plan on conquering how to use a sewing machine by today so I can make some cute things! Sorry for the overdoing of photographs! Hope you enjoy your weekend! Whoo!
