I bought a baseball hat at Bald Head and now I have no motivation to wash my hair. We had a wonderful time celebrating Matt’s birthday with Dallas friends at a brewery last weekend. I wish I had the energy to entertain more often. I’m on the way to Hawaii today and I’m equally excited and scared. That’s 9 hours of flying time plus layover/travel time. #whatwerewethinking After this trip, summer is coming to a close. I feel like I…

Hello, hello, So many fun things have happened…where do I begin? My mom was in town last week, and we had a blast playing with Emerson and shopping for summer clothes. My mom couldn’t believe how much personality Em has and how much she has grown up since March. It was nice to have some additional help for a few days, and I slept until 8:00! Matt and I also celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! My mom was kind…
On days I stay at home, I want to be a working mom, and on days I’m at work, I want to be a stay at home mom. I let Emerson chew on my hair and then hide the crusty ends in a bun for work. She cries when I sing Disney songs. I gave up on making baby food after 2 days. Listening to Em scream cry it out is ten times harder than I imagined. I took her…
-Going back to work was hard and rewarding and exciting and stressful and so many things. -We just booked our first air travel for this spring, and I’m nervous. I’m also kind of surprised they haven’t invented some kind of seatbelt for lap babies. It just doesn’t seem safe to me. -I’ve been doing Popsugar Fitness at home, but last week was my first time visiting the gym again. Man, I forgot that it’s such a scene with everyone in…
Hi friends. I know it’s been a while! We had a fabulous Christmas down in Austin with our families, and a nice stay-cation once we got back. Then Emerson came down with a cold that got worse, and we had to spend some time in the hospital. It was just a common respiratory virus (RSV), but apparently it can be dangerous in little lungs and little noses. We were a bit surprised to be admitted to the hospital, and we…
I’d say these are loose guidelines, as I don’t like putting too much pressure on myself to change (there’s enough pressure already from society, right?) But, I certainly welcome January as a time to reflect and make improvements. -Write more blog posts – I’ve got the time and I like to write, so why not? -Enjoy the present – this is a big one for me. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know this is the whole reason…
-I started a little bit of exercise last week and my body feels like an old man. My pelvic bones still ache and are not quite back in place, and my back hurts most days. I had a massage and went to a prenatal yoga class (with Em!), and things are starting to feel more normal. -We were lucky to have two great date nights last week – feels like our pre-baby life! Our friend works for the Mav’s and…
– I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! We’re hosting, and I think it will be really nice not to travel this year. I can’t wait for Matt’s parents to meet Emerson. We’re having most of the classics, but I’m just going to order a carrot cake this year, and try my hand at a green bean casserole variation. -I can’t believe how quickly Emerson is changing. We’ve seen a few smiles this week and her eye contact is soo…
-Another week has gone by and we’re still date-nighting and nesting. This past week, we had kombucha at Remedy and then a nice, long dinner at favorite HG Supply. -I’ve never felt more organized and efficient at work. I’m keeping my inbox to the bare minimum and I reply with lightning speed every time something comes up. I worry about going into labor with unfinished business, and I don’t want to have to think about a thing during maternity leave.…
