Yesterday H and I, and our friend
Delano, went to
Itchetucknee Springs, which is also a State Park and has a river running from the Springs. We rented tubes and lazily floated down the river, which has water that is clear as day, and it was absolutely gorgeous. It only took about 40 minutes or so to get there, and we went early in the day to avoid large crowds and the ridiculously hot weather. I, of course, was worried about overheating, but the water is around 70 - 75 degrees, so H just kept telling me to splash myself whenever I got hot. It was really fun, and we saw lots of cool things like otters, wild birds and jumping fish. Delano almost got a fish in his raft, in fact. H and I shared a raft and floated down together, and we still haven't decided if that was a good idea or not. It was great and relaxing to be in the same float together (especially for me, since I didn't paddle at all), but it was a little tight on space, and we
felt a bit cramped quite often. Oh, and we came home with sore thighs from all the wriggling and moving we had to do. I kept throwing water on my belly (which only fit into my swimsuit bottoms because I cut the elastic band around my hips) so that the baby didn't get too hot (if that can even happen), and I think he or she really liked it. I felt the baby moving a lot, and I was wondering what it must have been like to be floating around in my belly while I myself was floating around on a river. What a strange sensation for our little one! We had a really great time, and it was so nice and quiet and relaxing, so I just wanted to share some pictures. Unfortunately, we only have three pictures because we didn't want to ruin the
camera by taking it in the water, but either way, you can see my big belly poking out of the swimsuit, which was sort of the point (hehe). The other really funny thing is how white I look...I'm still blaming the sun for that, since I know I can home from Panamá with a GREAT little tan. We did have a ton of fun though, and I'm so happy we did it because it got me out of the house and let me enjoy myself for a bit. I've been so nervous about doing anything physical that I've been stuck at home for so long, and that is so unusual for me because I'm typically always doing something. It was very nice and I'm so grateful to have such a good and loving husband who forces me to do these things, even when I'm stubborn and not wanting to do so. Oh yeah, and boy did I sleep great last night! That, among other things, made it all worth it....and I think the bebé liked it too! :)
