30 Weeks

 

The belly seriously grows SO much in a week during this 3rd trimester, it's crazy. I'm barely fitting into my hospital uniform scrubs.... Might have to switch to just wearing my scrub jacket (seems to be the uniform of choice for the many pregnant girls at my work... You can wear a black t-shirt under the jacket and just button at least one button - I will get a picture this week!).

Jeremy, the pups and I all went to the coast again this week. We had a wonderful Valentines day dinner at our favorite Cannon Beach restaurant, the Irish Table. It's a small little place with a small menu but it is SO yummy. Our favorite part of the meal was the savory lobster bisque- had many big chunks of lobster, yummy. The weather wasn't very good this week but we managed to get one day on the beach to let the dogs play when it wasn't pouring rain, and of course I got some pictures:

26 weeks.

"Camping" on the Oregon coast for a few nights :) but the belly just keeps growing....

"Camping"

We recently decided to take the plunge and purchase something we have been talking about for the past couple of years: a travel trailer! It has already been so much fun and we've only had it a month or so. Here are a few pictures from my phone, from our adventures.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Jeremy turned 28 a few weeks ago - to celebrate we had a little get together at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was kind of last minute, so we were both really pleased with how many people showed up. It was great to see some of Jeremys good friends from Forest Grove come out our way to celebrate!  And hot wings and beer are always great too :)

The weekend before the dinner we headed out to the coast (surprise surprise right?). I had been wanting to spend a few nights in Cannon Beach since it had been quite a while since we had been there.  We ended up only staying one night, but it was awesome.  I found a really nice beach front hotel, did some research & got a really sweet deal - ok so it helped that it's winter and a Sunday night, but still, I was happy. Cutter was happy too because he got to come along, and the hotel even had a special basket of goodies waiting for him when we arrived!  

Seaside was our first stop, we browsed a few shops and walked around for a while - Cutter at one point deciding he really had to poop, and proceeded to do so RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK.  After that we figured it was time to move on to our final destination!

The hotel in Cannon Beach was up on a hill, and right as we drove up I knew it was a good decision. Like I mentioned before they had a gift basket of dog stuff for us right when we got there, which of course I thought was very cool.  When we walked into our room the first thing you noticed was Haystack Rock righhhhhht there. The room had a big window and sliding glass door to a balcony and seriously directly in front of us was the giant Haystack Rock.  Our timing was great, sunset was just starting. If you know me you know I'm a little obsessed with sunsets - I immediately dropped my stuff and went to deck to enjoy it. We opened a beer to share and just relaxed while the sun set next to Haystack.  I did take a few pictures, but I wanted to just enjoy the beauty too so tried not to focus on that. We later went out to dinner and then came back to play some board games and shared some yummy champagne. Oh, I forgot to mention the adorable and warm fireplace in our room - so we got to enjoy the sunset next to the fire. Perfection, no?  

The next morning Jeremy ventured out in the pouring rain to get us some coffee and muffins. The rain slowly stopped and we went down to the beach (Cutter was dying to get out there!) and let the kid play... he mostly just ran after birds and dug holes, but it's always fun to watch how happy he gets.

*I keep getting server errors from Blogger when I try to upload pictures so look for a pictures only post later...

Beach Overnighter!

Jeremy and I both had a Sunday and Monday off so we decided to head out to the coast... we originally planned to go to Cannon Beach because it's been forever since we've stayed there but due to a big accident on Hwy 101 we ended up going south and staying in Lincoln City.  I am a big idiot and packed along my nice Canon camera buuuuuut forgot a memory card.  Please don't ask how many times I've done this. It's just not even funny anymore.  I keep saying I will buy like 20 and just place one in each purse and bag that I own. But I haven't, yet :)  

Alas, more iPhone pics: 

Walking down the million stairs leading to the beach.

Riding in the truck, love it. 

Cutter LOVES the beach. He decided to dig a hole for a while, kept him occupied for a good 30 mins. 

Inside our little cabin we rented. Dogs were allowed, so it wasn't the most prestine place but it was perfect for us and Cutter - he had a blast sniffing every inch of that place haha. 

Out for dinner and drinks at McMenamins, Lighthouse restaurant. 

Inside. 

Waiting for dinner.

Sandy, wet, happy Cutter!
