swimmingly.
Finally, I took a 20 minute break to get some sun. I even went swimming for about 15 mins. It was weird, when I was in the water I felt... weightless. I guess thats what happens in water but now that I have this big belly I really noticed it. Must swim more!

25 weeks
It's about that time again when we go to the beach much more often. Last night, Ty and I went just to catch the sunset and relax for once. Life has been so hectic that we haven't had any time to just enjoy each other. Plus he got some cute pic's of me and the quickly growing baby belly at 24 weeks, 6 days and 20 hours.
Also, over the last couple weeks her cute little kicks are turning into huge jolts and full body rolls that take me by surprise and even kinda hurt sometimes. Tyler even felt her foot the other night. He was really excited and kinda freaking out because feeling a baby move SO much in my belly is crazy enough but then he felt her foot on his hand and sure enough, it was definitely a foot!
This week she should be about 13.5 inches and weigh 1.5 lbs. Wow! If we could see her we would see her hair color and texture.
My family lives a LOT closer now and its really nice. I am so blessed that I have such wonderful family on both sides.
We are working really hard to get this house together and haven't even started on baby stuff yet. I guess I decided that I am not going to have a full fledged nursery yet since I plan on breastfeeding and co-sleeping. So we are working on making our extra room a nice, relaxing Florida-ish room with a baby corner. However, I do tend to change my mind often especially now that this nesting thing is in full swing. And the nesting thing is a lot like the biological clock- its no joke.
We should be having some good news about Tyler's career here soon but I will wait til that is officially official.
I am doing freelance whenever it comes and working more with my family and their rentals for practice. Hopefully that continues to grow. Also will be doing the ebay stuff and sending out my resume to some future prospects but damn its hard to be on the computer when its SO nice out! Soon it will be too hot and I wont ever go outside though...
I also want to say that my birthday is on Tuesday and I would like cake please. Thank you.
Anyway- here are the pics:

23 weeks.
The big news is the big boobs. I am up a whole cup size. This is awesome!
Even better, baby girl is very, very active and not the least bit shy. She is often dancing around and I can see it and feel it. Sometimes the movements are so strong it is startling.
We started our Bradley Method classes and it is wonderful so far. I am counting how many grams of protein I am getting and keeping track of everything I am eating. I also am doing exercises everyday.
I have been very busy working for Michelle at Sulzer Inc.
and helping my parents with getting 2 places for rent and finding a place of their own to live in here in lovely dunedin/clearwater.
I am also starting back up my Ebay business. This time around it will be a partnership with mom and focused on the beautiful things she finds.
Not to mention, the constant work going on to get this old house in order. I feel good about this house tho. I think I might even love it.
Enjoy the 23 weeks photos. I am definitely pregnant now! And having lots of fun as you can see...

Here are some of my amazing, life changing findings as of late:
amazing internet radio

window farming
pole dancing

holy crap we are half-way there.
Yesterday marked 20 weeks. Half way! Holy Crap!
I am feeling her kick on and off. Sometimes its strong, sometimes its just flutters. Sometimes I don't feel anything for a day or more (at least not anything very strong). The kicks are strong enough that I can see them pushing out of my stomach. She is usually kicking way down low in my belly just above my pelvis.
Sometimes at night or in the morning my hips hurt. I am pretty much always ravenously hungry, unless I eat too much and then I feel awful. I am not really having cravings. Usually, I don't know what I want. My skin and hair are lovely, thank you. My boobs are almost too big for my tiny boobed bra (oh yeah). I can see the inside of my belly button which I have never seen before.
Tyler and I are trying to get things done at the house (the kitchen, the floors, the yard blah blah blah). We are also trying to find Tyler a better job in Accounting and me something that won't hurt my career when I take a leave in August, even if its just freelance. Everything has been really slow on those fronts. One day at a time.
Ok here is the pics!

captain me.
My parents and I went to the St. Patrick's Day festivities in downtown Dunedin. They enjoyed Guinness and greasy food but all I got was this picture:
On Saturday we got our first real summer-ish day and the traffic and tourists on Honeymoon Island and Dunedin Causeway proved it. The interest was sparked in me to learn how to sail when my mom, dad, Ty and I visited my Aunt Carla and Uncle Steve and their gorgeous sailboat last summer. On that trip, we didn't actually go sailing because of a mechanical issue and it was stormy but I did enjoy watching a whole fleet of children on their one-man sailboats.
So this weekend, my daddy (and truly amazing teacher) taught me the basics of how to sail. As you can see, my mom thankfully supplied me with a over-sized wetsuit (it wasn't all that warm outside and I got wet!) that my belly squeezed into. Here are some nice pics and some out of focus pics taken by Tyler since him and my mom were beach bums.
The real amazing story here isn't that I actually DID sail and did really good but that we spotted a small pod of dolphins and chased them for about an hour! I had just got into the captains seat and was pretty nervous. My dad was telling me what to do and I follow orders well. We started chasing the dolphins and it was a great way to learn because I was so in awe of being so close (sometimes less than 5 feet!) to the dolphins that I didn't over-think sailing.
At one point, my dad said, "Ok, now I am going to let you do it on your own." Woah, I was nervous about that because there was an island really close as well as a few kayak's. I told him I was didn't want to run into anything. He said, "I won't let you hit anything." Aw. My dad has always been a wonderful teacher. Since I am going to have a daughter it made me realize how important it is to make sure your kid knows that they can trust you and you are looking out for them no matter what.
There was a baby dolphin and it looked like mom was teaching it how to hunt. Neither of us had EVER been that close to dolphins (yes one of the perks of living here is we get to see dolphins quite a bit). When it was time to head back we realized that maybe we weren't following them, maybe they were following us because they kept popping up right next to the boat to say hi and get a closer look at us.
I guess we share the same curiosity in boats that don't make noise.
To make the day even more magical, after we got back and were unloading everything the baby started dancing up a storm. I didn't even get out of the car because I didn't want to miss it! She was kicking so much that I was watching my stomach push out for the first time. My mom ran over and put her hand on my belly and sure enough- she kicked her hard! This little one is definitely not shy! She has kicked her daddies hand several times and now her Gram's. Gramps is next!

my dog jackie.
Nobody lifts me up quite like my dog Jackie. Felt rather "stuck" on the couch today after sleeping ALL day yesterday. Jackie made a nice pillow.
As I have many times before, I didn't feel like doing much at all but I wanted to something for her so... bath time! Now we are going outside to play and get all dirty again.
