We have more beach goodness for today.
I cannot stop gravitating towards sunny beach shots. Maybe it’s because it’s been gloomy and rainy this week due to a low pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico, or maybe it’s because I haven’t been to the beach since I was 5 weeks pregnant. Something about having a huge belly and being uncomfortable almost 90% of the time that keeps you from going to a hot, sticky, sandy place no matter how much you love it otherwise.
These photos are courtesy of my friend Leeka, edited by me, shot 2 years ago. It’s strange to see myself looking normal. When my husband glanced at these while I was editing, he exclaimed “Look at you! You were so skinnnnnnnny!!!!” To be honest, I can’t say that was my best shape, but compared to now- hell yeah! I’ll totally be there again, though, and I can’t wait!
Are you digging this view? Makes me want to drive there right now!
I really think that our beaches are the most beautiful beaches in Florida.
I also love that Andrew likes me skinny. I know that’s not the case for some men. They tend to like T&A and more “junk in the trunk”. But I love that my hubby prefers me thin, because that’s where I am the happiest too. I asked him if he’d rather keep these preggo boobs and this body (minus the belly of course), or go back to my small boobies AND as thin as I was before I started getting ready to get pregnant. His answer was “THIN”!
He’s loving the boobs right now though, so I say let him enjoy- they aren’t permanent.
Oh…. the coolest thing about Alexis’s due date being end of January is that, assuming that I go overdue, she’ll be born in February- exactly when it starts getting super nice and warm for beach outtings. To be honest I can’t imagine taking a tiny newborn to the beach, but a few months later, it’ll be so much fun! Let’s just hope she likes water as much as I do.
I have been thinking about a push present for a while… and while I think the concept of a push present is really silly ( how about the daughter I will have as a present?), I decided that I want a new lens. I want to take gorgeous yummy photos of Alexis and the lenses I have just don’t cut it. So it’s more of a necessity than a “present”. I’d have to get one anyway, but this way I can justify the money spent on it.

You keep posting these pictures – makes me miss you even more!!!!!! I can not believe how much Gabby have grown since then! 🙂 She looks so tiny and still has her baby fat on! 🙂 Now she is reading already, can you even imagine it?
I can’t get away from them. Every time I go ” ok which photos should I post today?”, I instantly open ours. That must be cuz I miss you so much. It’s amazing to see Gabby do little. I can’t believe she’s already reading and going to school. Makes me sad! Can’t wait to see you both!
I love how these pictures give us a taste of what you and Alexis will look like. SO cute!
Oh! Amazing summery pictures! Ahhhh, want to go to Florida and see you guys again! 🙂
Which lens do you want? 🙂
I need a wide angle zoom. Something along the lines of 24-70mm f/2.8. And then a 70-200mm f/2.8. These two along with my 50mm will cover every need I have. Didn’t you get a wide angle zoom already? Or we’re you just thinking?
I’m still thinking, and I too want these two lenses 🙂
It’s amazing how quickly you can get your body back after baby! I was 5 punds lighter than I was before I got pregnant a week after I had my daughter. Breast feeding doesn’t hurt either 🙂
That’s encouraging! I can’t wait to see where I end up 🙂
I get to join today! ; ) I have some pretty good pictures, if I do say so myself! Love yours! You and your hubby are so cute!
Your beaches really are beautiful!
You look lovely, don’t worry about what some dude thinks. Not even if the dude is the one who donated DNA. I know it’s not that simple, just sounding off.
