Blogger Beachfest by the Numbers

4..."infertile" blogger ladies. Awaiting, Me, Lauren, and Karen

3... adorable baby girls


2... belly babies



27... collective hours traveled

3... true southerners (Texas, Florida, and Alabama natives)

1... southern impostor (Mississippi transplant) who was ridiculously excited to see the ocean!


572... times Hannah stuck her hand in the salt water and then licked off all the salt

6... Blue Angels flying over the beach

18... inches from wing tip to wing tip. Amazing!


2... screaming babies upset by the LOUD noise from the Blue Angels


1... adorable baby who just waved at the airplanes



3... evening trips to the beach

6... delicious, healthy, and dairy-free meals eaten (thanks Lauren!)

50... hours spent talking about babies

50... times I thought, "Would you believe that none of us thought we would be mothers just a short year ago?!"

16... attempts it took to get this shot with all three babes looking forward


1... gracious husband who sacrificed his space and privacy for three women he'd never met

83... pictures I took with Karen's awesome camera

83... times I coveted Karen's awesome camera and considered stealing it



1... day it took to convince Awaiting how cool cloth diapers are

2.75... consecutive hours of napping after a hard day at the beach. Her longest EVER!


 
8... pounds, 3 ounces of amazing coincidence! My friend Kelly had her baby, Luke Everette, while we just happened to be staying just minutes from her hospital! Congrats again Kelly and Brett!


1... times I had to stop for Hannah on the way down

0... times I had to stop for Hannah on the way back!

2... minutes I got out of town before I wanted to turn around and go back to the beach one more time!

  4. I love it! I don't think it even took us a whole day to convince Awaiting that cloth diapers are awesome. I'd say an hour tops. :)
