Kauai & Pregnancy Update!

By Leave a Comment

 

We were so lucky to be able to plan a week away from everything before we have this little girl. #milesarethebest & we were able to stay with some family friends that made our trip so perfect. Thank you Warren’s! Seriously loved having a place to come back to, be given all sorts of wonderful tips, and have a few homemade meals.

 

Can’t believe I was in Hawaii and 29 weeks pregnant. It was pretty great, and I think my body really needed the sleep. I haven’t slept so well in a week, and that’s what parent life is all about I guess. Haha, but for this pregnant mama that’s what one of my favorite things were.

How Far Along?
29 weeks! Ahhh.

Baby Size: Size of an Acorn Squash / 15.2 inches / 2.54 lbs

Cravings?
I basically ate way too many fresh fruit snow cones while we were on the island. No regrets at all! If anything, we should have had more.
Always willing to eat pizza, we ate it twice this week!

Symptoms?
Sciatica pain strikes again on my left leg the most.
The hardest for me is experiencing SPD (you can google that). It is painful to get up, turn in bed, walking down stairs, etc.
I’ve found helpful ways to deal with it, but it hurts on the daily, and some days I can’t do much.
I’m definitely more of a waddler, I think it’s worse this pregnancy.
I had some fun swelling in my feet while traveling, but thankfully that went away after our plane ride!
Only mild heartburn so far this pregnancy, YAY!!! Maybe baby girl won’t have as much hair as Peter.

Highlight of the week was definitely being in Hawaii with Taylor.
It was such a blessing to be alone together for the first time for this long before we have two kiddos. We missed Peter like crazy, but it was much needed.
Loved seeing turtles night and day! It was so fun to see such big turtles pretty close.

 

Taylor went on an amazing hike, but it was way too slippery for me, and everyone said I shouldn’t go on it.
I hope to go back to this island one day when I am more able to adventure!
I laid on this beach and waited for him while he hiked. I’d say it was a win win.
We had such great weather, and only were rained out one of the days. I love the views of Hawaii, and I especially loved taking landscape pictures.
Went on a hike that was a bit slippery, but we went super slow, and it wasn’t too bad! Then watched Taylor jump into the waterfall, and he did it for a while. It looked super fun, and was so beautiful there.

 

Evidence we love pizza, two different pictures above, and swimming was my saving grace for my pain at the end of the day. Passion Fruit shaved ice. I hope we can recreate this somehow one day.

 

Went golfing with awesome views and great prices! Felt proud I had a few good shots.

 

Pretty awesome rainbow trees we saw on a walk. They look like a painting!

 

Our favorite stop for fresh fruit snow cones. Loved every single one we had!
Didn’t know this was quite a walk to get to, and I was legit frightened walking down to see Queen’s Bath.
It was near sunset, so the waves were crashing in, which is kind of the point of the place.
I made sure we stayed farther back, because the tide was actually pretty high.
Our favorite activity together was definitely the helicopter ride! We had clear views and some clouds at the end, but we were able to get out on one of the best days. I almost threw up by the end, but it was breathtaking. Hard to take photos on a helicopter, but so glad we were able to still have so many pictures from it. Some of my favorite views I’ve seen!

 

This is the waterfall from Jurassic Park! We were able to go way close, which isn’t as common.
See you again one day Kauai! I can’t wait to come again, and we can’t wait for our baby girl in a few months!

 

Sleepless In Seattle

By Leave a Comment

We loved visiting Seattle! It was such a pretty time to go, and we actually didn’t get rained on too much. We enjoyed pikes market, and all the deliciousness. Oh my chocolate covered cherry, passion fruit greek yogurt, and the yummiest pear I did ever eat. It was so great! We visited the famous gum wall, and Peter was obsessed with that yogurt while we walked all around the market. We went to some great museums as well, and Peter bawled his way through the special exhibit at the Museum. haha, there were a lot of ladies in the museum when he did that! We had so much fun though, besides being sleepless in Seattle. Kind of funny. Poor Taylor got sick one of the evenings, and actually threw up out the window while we were on the freeway. He ended up being sick for pretty much the whole night. Then, Peter was having a hard time sleeping, so we all slept on the blow up mattress together. Ha! Mom got lots of sleep… We stayed at our lovely friends, the Calverts. They were kind enough to let us use a spare room, and we loved spending time with them and their cute twins! 
We went to this amazing glass blown museum. It was obviously Peter’s favorite. It was so fun to be in there and look at all the amazing creations. If you haven’t been, it is worth it for sure.
This is us at the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) Peter mostly loved Donald Judd’s work, and crawling around the giant space. He did his own performance piece!

First Haircut

Peter’s First Haircut. It was definitely due for a few weeks, and we finally made it happen. Kind of sad, but happy day! I took his 6 month photos right after, and I’ll post about it right after this. He is all blonde after this haircut it’s crazy. It is so hard to cut a little wiggly babies hair, but he is a cutie!

2 Months

This little guy brings so much joy into our home. Who knew the littlest things could bring such smiles to our faces? He really likes napping with us in our arms, and he absolutely loves laying on the changing table. Whenever he cries, and we aren’t sure what he needs, we put him on the changing table and he is content. He wakes up in the morning and does a million long stretches to wake up. It is really sweet, and we love watching him. We aren’t sure what to do with his hair if it keeps growing as fast as it has!

2 Weeks Old!

Can’t believe how fast this little guy grows. Here are a few portraits to remember! I remember taking these, and I was still in so much pain, but glad I was able to get a few cute pics! HE also always holds his feet in the air like that when we are changing his diaper, or he is asleep. It is the cutest. & we absolutely love his puffy hair during this phase. It is extra fluffy after the bath.
