Pismogiving

This year my family and I spend Thanksgiving at one of our favorite vacation spots...Pismo Beach! We celebrated Thanksgiving there once before a few years back so we decided to do it again this year. We left the day before Thanksgiving and came home the following Saturday. I wasn't sure how the weather was going to be but it turned out perfect! The first day was a little overcast but the rest were BEAUTIFUL! We all had such a great time! This was actually Madison's first trip to Pismo so we were very excited to see if she would like it as much as we do. As you can tell from some of the pictures below she LOVED it...especially the water! We (well should I say daddy, auntie, & cousins since I couldn't keep up) had to chase her & grab her before she ran in the ocean. Crazy little girl!!! Here are some pictures from our great weekend. Can't wait to go back...maybe in a few months since I'll be on maternity leave! ;)

 First stop...Splash Cafe for their famous clam chowder. It's tradition! =)

Our lovely view for the weekend

Happy Thanksgiving from my fam to yours (minus Madison since she was taking a power nap)

 My water baby can't get enough of the beach!

I ♥ my growing fam!

28 weeks...hello 3rd trimester!

Today marks the beginning of my last trimester...I am now 28 weeks! Can you believe it?! Time is flying...before you know it baby boy will be here! I am sooo excited and nervous at the same time. Everyone I know that have babies close in age tell me it will be a challenge in the beginning, but it's so worth it in the end and much easier too. Thank goodness! =)

I'm so curious as to how the temperament of this baby will be...Madison definitely gave us a run for our money and still does but you gotta love her for it. hahaha! She is so "spunky", if that's what you want to call it =) and she always keeps us on our toes! She never ceases to amaze us these days with the things she does and says. For instance one of our faves is when you ask her what she wants to eat...she says "ummm..." like she is really thinking about it. Hilarious! It's even funnier when she opens the pantry door to look what's inside. And that's not even half of  it! She is sooo smart...I'd say a little too smart for her own good sometimes! ;)

Anyhoo...back to my pregnancy...I'm definitely feeling A LOT bigger this time around and I'm sure you'll be able to tell in my latest bump pic. The good thing is I'm still on track with my weight gain and although I look bigger I actually weigh less than I did when I was pregnant at this time with Madison...so weird! Other than all the normal preggo symptoms I'm feeling ok. I had the flu a few weeks ago which really sucked but luckily it only lasted a day or so. I'm still able to get around pretty easily but it sure is getting harder to put my boots on and take them off...Jaime actually helps me out sometimes! hahaha! It's cute. For now here is my latest bump pic. I have an appt with my doctor in a couple weeks to see how baby boy and I are doing. I'll keep you all posted!
