8 More Weeks

Tomorrow marks 8 weeks until Sweetpea arrives.  Of course it’s just an estimate but we are getting there!  I’m ready physically and emotionally to meet my little boy.

I finally took a full week off of work.  I haven’t done that since Liam was born.  It was so nice and I have to say I finally feel refreshed.  A long weekend here and there just doesn’t cut it anymore for me.

My hubby and I took a long week to go to a local ski resort for some relaxation.  Of course there is no snow but the resort is quite beautiful in the summer.  There was a spa so I spoiled myself and got a manicure which I haven’t done in ages.  It was so nice just to be the two of us again for a moment and reconnect.  We enjoyed touring the town, sharing some good food, and taking morning walks together.  For a moment all my stress and anxiety was gone.  I was just relaxed.  The lack of stress and anxiety make me feel energized again.  I’m glad we took the time to get away together before Sweetpea arrives.  It was much needed.

We spent during the week getting stuff done around the house.  There was a list of projects we wanted to get done since moving in.  It felt good to be productive and get some stuff taken care of.  My main projects I wanted to do were get Liam’s room decorated since he got a big boy bed and decorate Sweetpea’s room.  We did both!

We took Liam out of school on Friday and had our first family vacation together.  We went to NH not too far away but still it was away.  We exposed Liam to the ocean, took him to a museum, and played mini golf for the first time.  It was good to have some true family time.  I definitely enjoyed it though 2 nights away from home was enough and I think we were all ready to get home and be in our beds.  I will cherish the time we had there.  Moments like that I’m again reminded how grateful I am to have my husband and son in my life.  I am blessed.
