26 Weeks // It's Been a While

It's been a while since I've updated about my pregnancy on here and I am now 26 weeks! I've been a bit busy and haven't been able to take pictures or document any kind of outfit that I have chosen to wear (that I actually like), which I am kind of bummed about, but I plan to do better the rest of my pregnancy. 

 It's been a bit harder for me lately to feel comfortable laying down, bending over, in clothes, out of clothes, sitting down, standing up. You know, the whole nine yards. But, I am embracing it as much as I can. I'm taking advantage of Cody helping me up and having him do things for me, it is quite nice. 

This past week, I had a bit of a scare and ended up going to the hospital. I had originally gone in to the doctor because I haven't felt Alexander move for quite a while (way longer than the recommended time). So, I got checked out and he was fine, but they tested me to see if my water had broke and all the tests that they did at the office were inconclusive and I had to go to the hospital. Once there, I got all hooked up and it was the neatest thing. I could see my Braxton Hicks contractions and I could monitor his heart rate, which was amazingly reassuring. The test came back negative, which was a relief. But, I was glad I did get checked as a just in case. Oh, and once I got home, he was kicking up a storm, as usual. 

It's hard to remember that pregnancy is beautiful and that I am beautiful. No matter my stretch marks, weight gain, cellulite and weird bouts of pregnancy stuff. Ladies, we are strong and beautiful for what our bodies go through. Men, thank you for being there when we need help getting up and all our weird cravings in the middle of the night. 

I love my man for all that he has given me support wise. Last night we enthused ourselves by going out to Biktoberfest, which is HUGE in Daytona. So, we headed out to the Boardwalk/Main Street area and walked around for a few hours. It was nice, only in the aspect of I walked for at least 2 miles and stood and got my exercise. Bikers are obnoxious and definitely have a good time with what they do, but for me, it is a little crazy.

Here is a picture of our lovely kitty, Cat or Jazz or whatever we feel like calling him at the moment. He likes it when I take pictures of him and belly rubs. 

Have a fantastic weekend!

The Kitty Named Jazz

We went to the Humane Society a few weeks ago and they were having a "Catapalooza" where cats were $5 and kittens were $10 including rabies and getting fixed. But, I think I should start this off with that our beloved Leo has moved on. Sad little fellow was only a year old. Oh, we miss him dearly and been having cat love sickness. So...

We ended up finding a cute little kitten that we fell in love with and we got to pick him up a few days later.

He is an absolute cutie (:

 And of course I got a bit of photos..

It's kinda blurry, but still all the same on the cuteness level 

Enjoy the kitty pictures! I get to see his cute little self every day, and I love it. He is 4.5 months now. The little bugger.

Lazy Days // Leo Kitty

He isn't much of a model. 1) Because he is never home except to eat, sadly. 2) He always sleeps when he is home. So, most of my photos of him are of him sleeping. Animals are very complicated to photograph, but that's part of what I enjoy about it. It's a challenge.

 He really enjoys the warmth, but HATES being in the sun when he lays down. It's interesting, but cute.

 I love when I come home and he is waiting for us, he waits in the same spot and almost always in the same position.

He really is the best cat and actually made me start liking them, unfortunately, they aren't all as awesome as he is. And, unfortunately I'm allergic to cats in general when they get up in my face and that's his favorite place to go when he lays on me. 

He is a cool cat.

Also, update: we had a signing day change, it's this next Friday! Exciting!

Sundays

Today has been lax...

 Edamame is my new favorite snack. I put too much salt on them, put I love it that way. One of my good friends in high school got me hooked putting salt on a lot of different things.

 I can't stand how big she is getting! Today, we went to the dog park. She wore herself out ridiculously. Kept running and wrestling, I love that about her. I want to take her there more.

Always desiring the sun. He is the best cat ever. Seriously. I love him.

Hope your Sunday was great! This week we are going out of town to Cody's mom's house. I'm super excited about it. 

Sunday Funday

Happy Sunday! I've really enjoyed my time off these past few days, I've done some projects, enjoyed the company of my animals and some friends, and finally have kind of gotten over my sickness. 

Here are some snapshots from my weekend:

This is my dog, her name is Topaz. She is a long haired dachshund, and almost a year old. I love her so..

Kitty: His name is Pele, like after the soccer player. He is almost 5 months old. He has a brother who is super camera shy and I couldn't get a photo ): He loves outside..

 Cuddle Time

 Dying roses, but I love them.

 I got this fantastic tablet, that I really recommend that photo lovers and editors should totally get. I'm actually starting to do some teaching tutorials or doing how to's on the blogs, what do you think?

Trying to be healthy and drink lots of water, but I always seem to empty my glass before I sit down. It tends to be contradictory. 

Having a good Sunday? What do you have going on next week?

Comment please!
