We're officially past the 6.5 month mark! This is our last week in the second trimester, or "mester" as Daddy calls it. Next Friday, we'll be in the third tri- woohoo!
This morning we had our maternity shoot on the beach, and I'm pretty excited about seeing the proofs in a couple of weeks. Daddy was not super thrilled about the early schedule, as the hair and makeup artist was at our house this morning at 5am...But I promised him we would go to The Pelican Grand for breakfast right after, which is the resort that we got married at. Everything is always phenomenal there, and so that bribery worked and he was very cooperative this morning. We took lots of photos, and then relaxed on the veranda at the Pelican and had the best breakfast that I can remember. Good times!

We leave this Wednesday night for our Baby Moon in Charleston, SC. That will be our last vacation without you! We are spending the rest of the week there, and on top of relaxing and just enjoying the beauty of Charleston, we're also scouting out neighborhoods to see where we want to live...You have no idea, but Daddy and I are planning on moving there in the next year or so. Many, many things have to happen before we leave Fort Lauderdale, but it's a definite that we'll be a family there by next Christmas. On one of the first dates that Daddy and I ever had, he told me that after being stationed in Charleston with the Coast Guard for a few years, he felt like that was his home, and that he would raise his family there. At the time, I had no idea that I would be that person he made a family with. I was just the person he brought out on the town and drank top shelf margaritas with at Lucy's Retired Surfer Bar in New Orleans (where we met!). So here we go...We're building our family, and about to set up our life in the place that Daddy's heart has always been:)
Speaking of Daddy, you should know that he passed his Chief Mate/Master's License test. He now has the highest level of license that anyone in charge of a sea vessel can have. As of Friday, he is officially a Chief Mate (second in command to the Captain), and after just another year of sea time, he'll be Captain and in charge of the entire oil rig. That test was a gigantic accomplishment. We are SO proud of him. SO proud!
And one other bit of important info to share...I had a doctor's appointment on Friday, and we actually were able to schedule your induction date, which is very exciting! I will be induced on the evening of Sunday, December 2nd, due to Daddy's crazy work schedule. So hopefully you'll make your appearance on December 3rd, and then you can spend some time with Daddy before he has to ship out:) And of course, if you want to come a week or two before that, then that's FINE with us too! We're ready for you!!!
So finally, here's our latest bump update! 26w2d...Our last one in the second trimester....Peace out, second tri!
Yeah, I know I'm wearing the same outfit as last week...But I had to wear something tight to show off the belly for the maternity shoot, and I was too lazy to change when we got home:)
That's it from the outside, Harper doodle! We love you!!!!
