Belly at 25 weeks!

Amigos! I skipped a week because honestly…there wasn’t much of a change. I will probably only post every other week or so from here on out because it’ll be cooler to see a significant change. Week to week is starting to get borrrrring. But, anyhoo, all is well in baby Potuckland. The sun is shinin’, the birdies are a chirpin’, and summer time is officially here. I know all too well how brutal middle TN summers can be. I am mostly looking forward to it. Y’all keep your fingers and toes crossed that I don’t swell up and burst.

Last summer without kiddos….

Like most expectant mammas, I’m slightly freaking out about the fact that in 6 months I will no longer be able to vacation (or well do anything) (with my husband) without a cute little sidekick attached to my hip.  ……enter freak out mode…… We have to get as many getaways in before this little bundle of love/expenses arrives! My mind has been on overdrive trying to figure out ways to plan free weekend adventure opportunities.

We have river trips/bbqs galore planned. This is a summer must. I feel pretty confident that without a drink in my hand I can keep a kayak afloat! I’m just not so sure I won’t sink it…an embarrassing thought.

I thankfully have a sweet beach trip with my sister planned for April. Aims (my awesome older sister) and I are going to Destin, FL.  We’re going to pretend I’m not pregnant while sipping on virgin pina coladas, getting my belly a little golden, and recounting childhood memories leading up to babytown 2013. I can’t even wait! I get teary eyed just thinking about this. I’m such a basket case right now.

OK. SoOooOOooo…..The huzzanator and I need a real deal vacation getaway before Baby P arrives so we researched and found the most amazing beach in America was calling our name! SIESTA KEY!! Have you guys ever heard of this magnificent beach? It’s in southern Fl on the gulf coast. It was named America’s best beach numerous times, and looking at the photos, I can see why. Apparently the sand is 99.99% white quartz..whatever that means. All I know is it’s cool to the touch and will be perfect for my overheated pregnant bod.  We have officially booked our stay at an amazing boutique hotel ON THE BEACH and it just happens to fall a couple days before Darren’s  bday. That’s how we roll, y’all.
