The beach is calling me

We have been itching to go to the beach lately with the warmer weather we’ve been having (except for the last few days!). So this weekend, we are heading SOUTH! Hallelujah!

Because my body is a completely different shape post-baby AND because I have stretch marks out the wazzoo AND because my post-baby belly button grosses even ME out, I had to go bathing suit shopping. I loathe shopping for a bathing suit. I always end up getting depressed and frustrated and it takes me a loooong time to find one that fits me (big boobs, little everything else). So off to Target I went. The older I get, the more modest I get. So I wanted something that didn’t make me feel like I was prancing around in my underwear BUT that also didn’t make me look like a mawmaw.

I found this! It has a strap that goes around the neck and it actually holds up the girls! I can’t believe I found a bathing suit the first day I looked and the first shop I went to! That never happens!

Since Noah was only a few months old the last time he went to the beach, he needed a new suit too!

Isn’t it precious?? I can’t wait to see what he thinks about the sand this time. Hopefully it won’t be too cold and we can actually wear our bathing suits!

This is what Noah looked like last year at the beach…

He’s grown up so much! He will be 13 months old tomorrow!

Along with getting new bathing suits, I have been trying to tan. The first time I stayed in for 8 minutes and got so burnt I couldn’t go back for four days! That tells you how pale I am! I went back today and only stayed 5 minutes and didn’t burn. So hopefully I’ll be tan sometime this year!

Be on the lookout for beach pictures soon!
