It’s been a while since I wrote a day in the life post and life is different now! My 4 month post was from a stay-at-home day, so I thought I’d write this post based on a work day. 5:30 – Matt is leaving for the airport. I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or a noise he made, but I hear Emerson wake up. Even though she’s not eating much breast milk these days, she still wakes up…
Hi y’all, There’s not a whole lot going on over here – September has been kind of blah in general? After Emerson’s croup, she came down with her first double ear infection. So we spent our weekend inside with the exception of quickly grabbing margaritas and guacamole before getting takeout on Saturday night. I’m hoping to get out and about more this coming weekend! I’m happy to be resting on the couch after finishing another work week. It was a…
-Emerson came down with croup this week, which meant a trip to the hospital for steroids. It’s weird not being able to go to work when I’m healthy, but we enjoyed some extra cuddles and lots of books together. So glad she is on the mend! -I’m seeing a lot more clothing delivery services out there, and some geared towards moms. Has anyone tried something other than Stitchfix? -It’s this time of year that I miss the East Coast the…
Wasn’t the long weekend just sooo nice? Although I’m only working part-time now, Matt has been working crazy hours, and it was amazing to have him home for three days of uninterrupted time! Saturday was all about getting our life in order. Gym for me, soccer for Matt! We also went grocery shopping, did all the laundry, and cleaned. Don’t you love knocking out all the chores on the first day? Then the three of us had a date night…
-Last night was the first night I can remember in 1.5 years that I slept through the night. Even when Emerson sleeps well, I usually wake up and go to the bathroom, but I slept 10:30 to 6:30 without a toss or turn. It felt like a time warp!! -I’m am thrilled to have a weekend at home with virtually no plans. Since Matt has started traveling again, I feel like our household is chaotic and we are in desperate…
It was back to work this week and last! For some reason, this transition almost felt more difficult than going back after maternity leave. I can’t pull ‘the new mom card’ anymore, and Emerson is go-go-go all the time now. She seemed very excited to be back in daycare. So excited, that she didn’t nap at all, and came home sleepy and cranky. With Matt being back on client work, and two evening events at work this week, I felt…
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…
And just like that another school year is complete! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t even had time to think about summer. But now it’s here and I have 10 weeks off with my sweet girl! Matt’s parents were visiting last weekend and we did a lot of eating around town. We finally made it to Pecan Lodge after living in Dallas for 4 years! The meat lived up to the hype. Although, we skipped the main line by…
