In the beginning of this week two friends from home came to visit for a day and we drove up to Savannah for a little photo excursion. We met up with a fellow photographer who took us around the area.
We basically ended up in South Carolina at this beautiful wildlife preserve about ten minutes from the Georgia border. It was a lovely sunny day and we ended up walking roughly two miles (really fun when you're pregnant) and just soaking up everything.
There were gators EVERYWHERE! It was definitely a sight to see. I was eaten alive by mosquitos; which I am paying for now, but it was all worth it in the end.
The sun was shining so brightly that it made for some interesting portraits. :) Brian just looks so thrilled to be out and about making sure his preggo wife doesn't
keel over from a heat stroke! I'm totally kidding! I made sure that I stay hydrated. If only I would have made sure to bring some bug spray!
This was off on a little side trail in one of the little wooded areas. There was some sort of old water well and a path that circled around a little grove of trees that was filled with dragon flies, spanish moss, and little lizards. I saw that there was a historic sign and I believe that it said something about the path being part of the remnants of a slave quarters that was a part of a plantation. I'm not positive if that was what it said considering I just briefly glanced at the sign, but it was something of those sorts.
Brian is getting to be a pretty good photographer! He snapped this portrait of me sitting on the edge of the old well (it had been filled in, so no worries!). I'm not usually one for having my photos taken, I usually like being the photographer, but I was feeling photogenic.
After going through the remainder of the preserve (driving through, thank goodness because I was already exhausted). We went back to Savannah and walked around down town in search of some interesting places to explore.
We went into a parking garage and went all the way to the very top and got an amazing view of down town. Brian climbed on top of the elevator's roof and snapped this photo. I wish I could have climbed up there with him, but I went against the urge to do so.
I have learned that going out exploring isn't as easy as it used to be...it is a lot more difficult while pregnant. You realize how risky a lot of things are now and it is kind of disappointing. But I'm not going to let being pregnant stop me from seeing amazing sights and experiencing wonderful things; I just now know that I need to be a little more careful while doing so.

The rest of week seven has kind of been a downer. I have been sick and I think I am suffering from bad acid reflux; which isn't fun at all especially since I won't be seeing my doctor until April and won't be able to get any relief until I see her. I have been spending a lot of these passed few days on the couch sleeping, reading, watching SyFy marathons. Our apartment is so neglected because moving just makes me want to vomit, so hardly any cleaning has been done.
Our little one is about the size of a blueberry now!
I have also found a new addiction:
These little guys are absolutely delicious! Which is not really a good thing because you can't find them anywhere in town.
