The Hubs got up super-early one morning a couple weeks ago to head down to the beachfront for some peace, quiet, and photo-snapping opportunities. This pregger lady stayed in bed. He came back with what I would classify as some lovely five-star photos. I enjoyed them from the comfort of the couch at a reasonable hour.
And so can you!
Now that’s not to say you shouldn’t get out there and regularly experience a sunrise or two for yourself, but if you’re thirty-seven weeks pregnant and getting up to wee five to seven times a night, I think there’s grace for sleeping a little later than sunrise. Just saying.
There are a couple of beautiful beach spots in and around Gordon’s Bay. HH just headed to the main beachfront that the downtown area sits alongside. I hope you enjoy! I feel like I was there…
Duck, duck… goose!
The New Harbour and our neighbourhood is in the way back background on the far left:
Gordon’s Bay’s Old Harbour is in the background, and the hills of Cape Town leading to Cape Point are on the horizon! (This body of water is called False Bay.)

I love dis one!
What does the side of this rock look like to you?

Sometimes it’s worth getting up before the sun, hey? 🙂
Happy Tuesday, friends! Hope you’re having a great week!

P.S. Still no baby news to speak of…but the day is young!
I create resources to help people find deeper, more meaningful relationships with God through pursuing, pondering, and prayer. The "Shop" link above will take you to the home of many of the lovely resources I’ve created to help you keep walking one day deeper with Jesus.
Oh, how I wish I were there!
Oh but it’s so hot! 🙂 Unless you’re well pregnant you probably won’t mind! It really is beautiful. 😀
I believe a long drive is good for getting your baby into gear – come for supper!!! Or inviting a large number of folk round for dinner could have the same effect!!! The father person can get fairly hectic at times but he had one evening free the month hood#6 was born… so on that free night he invited a multitude of folk round for dinner – because when would he be able to do that again!!!! In my head I had already thought – one free night… it would be a good night for junior to arrive and then I quickly put the thought out of my mind!!! So I stood and made countless hamburgers all afternoon… countless – I reckoned finger foods would be the best way to go… Well the guests arrived they ate and all joked hahaha what if the baby arrived now – babies don’t just fall out (but I didn’t tell them that)… Finally got the kitchen cleaned up by 2 am and fell into bed… only to be woken an hour later by our newest arrival who arrived at four!!! So you could invite a heap of folk round for dinner… especially folk you hardly know!!! Lots of love, I am praying for you and your baby!!!
If I thought I could make it without having to stop on Baden Powell Road for a tinkle, I’d be quite keen! Perhaps we should throw a big party — I can’t believe Hood #6’s arrival story!!! Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. I’m continuing to trust for the perfect timing — it feels a bit like a roller coaster! 🙂
