30 Weeks Pregnant: Trip to Cannon Beach

Two weeks ago, my husband Ethan and I woke up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday and drove 1.5 hours to Cannon Beach and Seaside, Oregon. I just love how close Portland is to the coast. The drive there was absolutely gorgeous. We saw tons of beautiful farms, ranges, and national forests on the way that just made time pass by in a blink of an eye.



When we arrived, we grabbed lunch at this adorable breakfast cafe called Lazy Susan's. The marionberry scone was to die for. Ever since moving to Oregon, I have noticed marionberry on every single menu. It's a kind of blackberry that's grown locally and is pretty good! I ordered a veggie omelette and Ethan got poached eggs which he said were amazing.


Quick 10 minute wait to be seated at Lazy Susan's.

Next we headed over to the beach in hopes of taking awesome pictures of Haystack Rock. Unfortunately, it was incredibly foggy and we could barely make it out. Nonetheless, we had a great time sitting on the warm sand, eating maple donuts that we bought at a bakery.

I cannot believe that I will be 33 weeks pregnant in just a few more days. To think that it will be September next week absolutely excites me. My OB said that she believes baby is head down, his body is curled on my right side, and his legs are on my left. It is crazy how BIG his movements are now.

Current pregnancy symptoms: Heartburn, constant need to use the bathroom, and insomnia. I am starting to get Braxton Hicks but I can only tell because my stomach randomly hardens- I don't feel any type of discomfort or contraction at all!

We finally sold our house in Georgia which allows for more baby related shopping trips, yay! Everything at Carter's right now is 50% off, plus an additional 25% off your entire purchase for Labor Day. Definitely took advantage of that sale!

p.s. The nursery is almost done so that post will be coming up soon!
