Soul Surfer Bethany Hamilton is now 37 weeks pregnant, and the athletic mother has temporarily given up the sport she is passionate about in order to focus on her growing baby boy. Even without surfing though, Hamilton is able to find joy in the simple things in life, including her pregnancy craving - Justin's Peanut Butter Cups.
On her Instagram account (@bethanyhamilton), the surfer wrote that she is "thankful for the blessing of my family. And dark chocolate peanut butter cups..." She used this to caption a photo of her maternity shoot with Naomi Wong Photography.
Hamilton might have given up surfing but that does not mean that she is no longer exercising. In fact, she has remained active throughout.
She shared a photo of her swimming and captioned it: "Swimming is my favorite exercise late in my pregnancy. It feels so good to get in the water and feel weightless and move my body with complete ease. I'll always aim to live healthy for me and for my family."
She and her husband Adam Dirks have also been enjoying married life as they went camping by the beach recently. Hamilton is certainly living in the moment, but at the same time, she cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them.
"Our future together is often something I dream of, looking forward to all we have ahead of us! The immediate being our first child!" she said.
Hamilton added that she cannot wait to see her young boy moving "out and about," and is pretty confident that he will grow up loving the surfing sport just as much as his parents. Earlier, she shared a photo of her conquering the waves and wrote, "Jr and I surfing at 6 3/4 months! He loves it already, I know."
