Iโ€™m enthusiastically looking forward to plaid shirts, boots, hot cocoa nights, the return of college basketball (YESSSS) and pumpkin-ifying everything. Oh wait, I did that…

Family: 36 week ultrasound + doula meeting

Friday was my last ultrasound appointment! Since weโ€™re pretty confident that two kiddos is our max, I really tried to take some time to savor the screen and watching our baby move -who is currently smashed up in there, so itโ€™s harder to determine what body part is which- and enjoy the experience. That is,…

Livi-isms

“Are we having artichokes tonight?” “Are you mad at me?” “No, Iโ€™m not mad.” “I can see it in your face.” “Succulents donโ€™t cry.” “I can have sour worms because Iโ€™m a grown-up now.” [While sharing chocolate with me] โ€œMom, you have to close your eyes. It tastes better that way.” [While smelling her hair…

Squatember Workout

Hi friends! Howโ€™s the morning going? So glad itโ€™s humpday!  Yesterday, we were given a wonderful surprise: RAIN all day, and it was amazing. It cooled everything down, and while itโ€™s long gone (more humid and heat headed our way), it was a nice respite from the sauna haha. Last night, I taught a fun…

Family: pregnancy snacks

Itโ€™s so hard to believe that weโ€™re getting to the finish line (or starting lineโ€ฆ)!  Iโ€™m starting to get nervous/anxious/excited, especially since Iโ€™ve been having some intense Braxton-Hicks contractions. They start in my stomach, which starts to cramp and becomes rock hard, and move all the way back to the base of my spine. I…

(She gasped and…
