Wow, it sure has been a while! Life has gotten just a little bit crazier around here and I know that is only going to be busier in the coming months with the arrival of our little peanut!
When I look back and think I haven't posted in nearly 3 weeks I don't know where the time actually went. I am confident I was just entering my 3rd trimester and posting about it, and here I am nearly 35 weeks pregnant and incredibly behind on everything.
I always prided myself on being able to "do it all" I worked full time, took care of household chores, had a chalked-full social calendar and never missed a birthday or thank you card. Of late, I am lucky if I can make it through a work day without closing my eyes at the desk just for a few minutes! I can't say it is all pregnancy related, I think life just finally caught up with me.
I am learning to say no to plans that sound fantastic on Monday but by Friday I am in tears about having to leave the house. I am learning that it is okay to have help around the house (thank you Oliver!!) and that if the thank you card isn't in the mail the next morning I haven't failed as a person or friend.
This past weekend Oliver and I slept in on Saturday and snuggled with Clo, it was 8:45 but it was heaven! After that we spent the day together, no phones, social media or distractions. Granted we were running errands it was still quality time and it was perfect!
Side note: How cute is my Clo Clo? That is a kitchen towel in his mouth, Mum was too tired to get up and take it away- I am fully aware this will be problematic with baby stuff!!
I am working on slowing down (not my nature as a typical New England gal ;)! ) enjoying the moments and embracing all the change.
Here is a photo from our GORGEOUS baby shower two weeks ago- keep an eye out for a post coming soon!
So thank you for being patient with me as I work out all the kinks, I know it is about to get a hell of a lot crazier in just 5 weeks!!
