Baby White's Announcement. Week 12

So excited this week had finally come! We were so excited to announce Baby White to the world. What better place to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary than where we got married in Destin, Florida.

 

Friday morning at the airport

 

 We could not have asked for better weather & I was feeling great. One of my favorite things about being pregnant is eating for two. I love food. Everywhere we ate had the tastiest & freshest seafood. Crab is my absolute favorite. We went to AJ's on the harbor and I ordered fried Mahi Mahi strips with steamed potatoes & corn on the cob, it was heavenly! Wish I had taken a picture of it. I did get a picture of me enjoying a virgin strawberry daiquiri though...

 



 

 Sunday was the start of my 12th week. I woke up incredibly sore from my run on the beach the day before. I love Sunday mornings. I wake up to a notification on my phone from The Bump app. It tells me what size fruit my baby is and I think it's the best thing. Week 12 Baby White was the size of a plum. PS, I've never cheated and looked ahead. So much more exciting that way!

 

We met our best friends Chris & Diana at their house that morning and headed to the beach to take our announcement picture. Diana is 6 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy. It's such a blessing to be able to go through this journey with one of my best friends. I was so thankful I had her there to take our pictures & it made it that much more special.

 

 We went to the same spot on the beach where we said "I do" almost exactly a year to the day...

 





 

 Thank you to my sister Traci for making Baby White's banner. It was perfect.

 

 

 

 

 Pictures were done (thank you Diana), now it was time for brunch. These mamas were hungry!

 

 

 This day was so perfect. It didn't even seem real. Mike made this trip so special for me. We went to all of my favorite spots on the beach, ate at all of my favorite restaurants, and he even went shopping with me at Destin Commons (a beautiful outdoor shopping mall). We went into Victoria Secret & he told me to pick out new bras, since none of my bras fit comfortably anymore. I have just been wearing bralettes with not much support. It's the little things and those new bras made a big difference. It was also a big football weekend (including the Texas vs OU game) & he was a good sport through it all. If you know my husband then you know his love for football. He even went to 4 different places trying to find me an A&W root beer, of course at the fourth stop he found it.

 

Monday was our official one year anniversary. We had an early lunch at Pompano Joe's, laid out on the beach and spent the rest of the afternoon driving around looking at real estate properties.

It was a bittersweet goodbye driving over the Destin bridge to head to the airport. I can't believe the next time we visit Destin we will have our sweet baby with us and will be a family of 3. What an amazing first year of marriage this has been!
