A little SUP action +15wks!

On Saturday we headed up to Waianae to meet Uncle George at Pokai Bay (aka: The Bay of Dreams). Everyone started trickling in between 8 and 8:30am, it is an hour and 15min drive from our house... once we all set-up our chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. Uncle George talked story with us, telling how he started his ministry, to how large it has grown today! It was incredible! He then gave a mini-SUP lesson to anyone who had never done it before or needed a refresher... after that, we were out on the water enjoying the calm morning and chasing fish and honu! It was so much fun to see our friends from our original mini-church, and of course enjoy time with our current one. A small group of us finished the afternoon up with lunch at the seaside bar, then walked over to the mini-mart for some ice cream sandwiches which we leisurely ate while sitting on the retaining wall watching the waves & surfers roll in soaking up the afternoon sun. I am truly truly going to miss living here.

Multiple photos were taken that day:

• Uncle George's Album
• Hope Chapel's Young Married's Album (I took these).

Here are a few of my favorites...

*You may be wondering where my signature orange board is... two reasons: First we had multiple errands to run after the event, and you never know what parking situations might be like. Second, technically I am no longer suppose to SUP according to the midwife, it is considered a "falling hazard" so I used one of Uncle George's 10'6" boards which is a full foot longer than my 9'6" for some added stability.

Finally the photos everyone's really waiting for... weeks number 13, 14, and BAM 15... all of a sudden I have a funky bump!

Certain jeans and shorts still fit me, for the rest I now have a BeBand so I can still wear my regular bottoms just with the button undone. Eventually, I will graduate to the zipper being undone as well, after that I will probably have to purchase some maternity bottoms. My morning sickness is gone (praise the Lord!), however certain smells still have that instant gag, sometimes throw-up affect. Main ones being- trash can (poor Quinn, has to take it out all the time now, haha!), Moku's pee (I'm changing his litter pans every 2 days as opposed to the normal 4-5), and non-breakfast foods in the morning (we had a bad experience when Quinn reheated spaghetti for breakfast). My pregnancy workouts are going really well, I love the DVD set I picked out - Mom's Into Fitness Pregnancy. I know I need to eat better, especially when it comes to the sweets. I have been loving ice cream and dark chocolate reese's but I DO NOT want to develop gestational diabetes, so my main goal at the moment is to keep a balanced diet now that I can eat veggies again without them tasting like dirt, and meat without wanting to gag.
