Some Spring Beach Fun For Mommy & Little One At 27 Weeks!

We are loving how Spring is really starting to stick around in our neck of the woods. It’s hit or miss of course between the spurts of Spring showers but on those sunny days with highs in the 60s or 70s we spend as much time outside as we can handle. Our post Easter week we really took advantage of the few gorgeous days we had, including a walk through the park, a trip to the lake, a special zoo day on the weekend with Dan, and a mommy and little girl trip to the beach. 

Spring and Fall are probably my favorite times for the beach, especially right now being pretty pregnant, the cool breeze and mild temperatures are just perfect for some lounging around and playing in the sand. So last week I packed up some sand toys, a blanket, and some lunches on the go and headed out early for some beach time, a trip my little girl couldn’t have been more excited about. She loves playing in the sand, ever since she was a baby, so this day trip was right up her alley. What a perfect day it was, a little chilly when we first got there but the cool breeze was a warm welcome to this mommy-to-be who seems to be going through another bout of pregnancy nausea. We combed the shoreline for sea shells, little one played a little soccer/ chasing after the soccer ball, and then her favorite digging and building sand castles. It was a beautiful day, one of those special just mommy and baby times that I always cherish with my little girl.

As my weeks tick by I know adventures like that will get harder and harder but we’re certainly going to make sure that we squeeze in a few more Spring beach days before the heat rolls in for the summer. Despite all of the beach fun we enjoyed, I did feel a little bad because my sweet little water baby couldn’t get over the no swimming in the ocean yet rule. She just kept glancing out at the waves rolling in and asking about her bathing suit but thankfully would quickly change direction to something else. I’m crossing my fingers that we’ll be able to get down to the beach some days this summer without boiling hot temperatures and let our little girl finally splash around in the forbidden waves.

For now, we’re holding onto every single day the sun is out and the cold temperatures aren’t. I’m just loving the Spring weather, watching my little girl run around in the sun with a smile from ear to ear and feeling my other special girl kicking around inside in excitement. It’s a beautiful time for our family and I’m just making sure I take in every single moment!

Sincerely,

Lindsay (28 weeks)
