before i was pregnant i often wondered what i would end up craving. would it be strawberry ice cream? would it be nutella and angel food cake? would it be frozen yogurt? all very obvious choices, however, it turns out what i ended up craving is water. not the healthy kind that you're supposed to drink but the refreshing kind that you can dip your toes into.

sadly, we do not have a pool and even more sad is the fact that i've come to realize that i don't have any friends that own pools within a reasonable proximity, so this craving of mine has turned into a bit of an unattainable desire.

luckily, we live in southern california where the beaches are warm and close by, so off we went!

the second we got to the beach, i made a little belly hole in the sand and let out a great big sigh of relief.

i think this is her way of telling me that she's going to love the ocean as much as her mama.
