Friends visit

We had some friends visit recently for the weekend. We met them in San Diego and they ended up moving to Virginia a few months before we did. They are expecting 2 weeks ahead of us so it was really fun to catch up and see how they're doing.

We played lots of games, walked around Colonial Williamsburg, went out to eat and had plenty of play time with Bonnie. Can't wait to meet their baby boy next time we see them!

Super Bowl and Valentine's Day

For the Super Bowl this year we went over to a neighbor's house. I certainly wasn't invested in either of the teams but very much enjoyed the abundance of good food and people. We left early to get B home to bed, but had a great time!

The next day we kicked off Valentine's day with some French toast (pretty sure we got this idea from the Strattons) and cards.

Bonnie had a fun little package from Benny's parents with some Valentine crafts and treats.

After Eric finished working, he made us dinner and we just had some family time. 

I am so thankful for these two valentine's (and all of our loved ones!), they have my heart. And happy birthday to Opa!

Baby Shower

Last weekend some friends threw me the sweetest shower. The decorations were beautiful, Katie made the most delicious cupcakes, and the company was the best. 

My favorite ladies.

We played some fun games, opened gifts, and the food was delicious. I'm so thankful for this wonderful group of women around me. I couldn't do motherhood without them.

32 weeks with baby #2

I am feeling every bit of 32 (33 tomorrow) weeks. I believe I am officially larger than I ever was with Bonnie. Although at this point in my pregnancy with her, we were only 10 days away from giving birth. It is getting harder to get up from laying down or sitting on the floor with B. Baby is still extremely active. I tested positive for Covid at 31 weeks. Thankfully I didn't have many symptoms after the first day. My 32 week appointment was a week ago and heartrate was still 130. We are now down to appointments every 2 weeks until 36 when I will start going every week. 

Now that we are so close to when we gave birth with B, I am feeling the pull to get everything ready. It will still probably be a few weeks before we pack a hospital bag, but we are making progress on some of the larger projects/reorganizing to make room for another human. Bonnie is now actively talking about baby without us even prompting. She will often say "Baby coming. Grandma, Aunt Katie watch Bonnie" and "Baby come out!" It is very sweet. 

I am very much looking forward to a baby shower hosted by some sweet friends this weekend - I truly didn't expect one for the second kiddo. We are also very much looking forward to getting away for a night in a few weeks to celebrate our anniversary/valentine's day/my birthday/last hoorah before baby arrives. We are so thankful Katie has offered to watch Bonnie while we spend some time in Charlottesville (surprisingly neither of us have spent hardly any time there). Hopefully we will be having a baby next month!
