Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

50 Days to Go!?

I never thought 33 weeks would fly by like they have. It’s hard to believe that in only 7ish weeks we will get to meet our little guy. Everything is moving so fast, and I know that these next few weeks are going to fly! I have my shower next weekend, which should be a blast as I finally get to share my room with everyone attending and with the Facebook world. I then have my friend’s shower the next weekend, and my Junior League orientation. I decided to join the junior league this past year as a way to give back to the community, I am excited to start on this journey and meet lots of new people. The following weekend is a scavenger hunt with the junior league…just as a getting to know you type thing that they will be doing, as well as “cocktail party” (no drinks for this mama) that week with my group members. Then it will be almost time for baby to come, and I will finally get to put the car seat in the car (which I have been asking about every week). What can I say, I am really excited for him to just be in my arms…they don’t get stretch marks. 😉

At 29 weeks my car was hit on our way to breastfeeding class. Luckily, we were on the way to the hospital so I just went straight to labor and delivery when we got there instead of our class. (Don’t let this calmness fool ya, I was not calm by any means). I got in and they hooked me up to machines, and an IV and began taking all kinds of tests. I was starting to have contractions, and they were then deciding if I needed to stay for a 24 hour watch. I then went to have my sonogram. Very unexpected to have another, but exciting as we got to see how our little man was doing. We actually saw he was doing really well, and weighed in at the top of his range at 3lbs 9oz. (Yes, I know these can be incorrect at times…but it falls right in line with what they were thinking and where my siblings and Nic weighed when we were born.) I ended up staying over night, and contractions finally stopped around midnight with no medication but fluids. I went the next day to my regular dr, as it was a scheduled appt, and she said we would be checking again in 4 weeks for growth. Well our 4 weeks is up and…..our boy is 5lbs. 10 oz with a perfect 37 week head. WOAH! Baby boy must love the food I am eating. We probably won’t be doing another growth as long as we thing he is keeping on his 1/2 lb a week track, which he seems to be doing just fine with that. We are so excited to meet him, and can’t wait to share our boy-boy with you.

As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled wit As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled with gratitude for the amazing family I was given. I recently was blessed with a new brother-in-law and being able to celebrate my sister and him during the week of Thanksgiving was so special. Here's to the shared laughter, comforting embraces, and the unwavering support that make every day a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving! #Family #Thanksgiving
We’ve all asked our kids to clean up after they’ve played. It’s a huge mess, and they don’t even know where to start. I don’t know about you, but tasks like that make me feel overwhelmed and I ask for help from @octiclean or my husband or someone (anyone). I’m not teaching my kids how to clean their room—I’m teaching them that sometimes there are tasks that are way too hard for one person to do on their own. That their is help available, and you just need to ask. 💙
We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick Friday. 🤒 Hear me out though—you or your child can get sick anywhere. Target, a friends house, play gym, school—the list goes on. Yes we MOST LIKELY got sick at Disney, but did we have fun doing it? Yes. After we were locked in the house for that one sickness 3 years ago, I refused to not live. We got that sickness from someone entering our own house, not even being out in the wild. We’ve been to Disney tons of times, cruises, planes, and all the fun things since and honestly we haven’t gotten sick on or from our trips. So here’s to more adventures and stronger immune systems. 😬 Also, lots of vitamin c and all the good meds, cause I don’t say no to that.

We recently moved things around in C’s room. She We recently moved things around in C’s room. She got a new mattress, new princess @potterybarn sheets, and the most perfect blanket. We went to put in her in the bed and she got so upset that she wasn’t sleeping in her crib. Thank goodness I hadn’t taken it apart—I had only moved it to the other side of the room. At this point she’s still in her crib, and still loving her sleep! I’m just here to say that whatever schedule your other kids might have been on with development or changes—it’s okay if your other child isn’t ready. They will be ready and won’t go to college sleeping in a crib. 👏
