My Mom is here!!!

My mom has officially arrived and is here for the long haul! This just made everything SO REAL. We have been planning her arrival at the beginning of September for so long now, and it felt so far away – almost like it would never come. Well guess what? It’s September and she is here!

I’m so excited to get to spend these last couple of weeks finishing up nesting with the best mom in the whole wide world. I’m sure we won’t do anything too exciting (again, thanks COVID), but hopefully we can get a little bit of safe shopping in, and at the very least some evening walks! Up until now it has been so hot here, and all of the nearby forest fires have made the air quality absolutely terrible, so I haven’t been getting out into the fresh air as much as I would’ve liked to.

Otherwise, I’m sure we will get some freezer meals prepped, some cleaning done, and just some quality mother-daughter bonding time in. Maybe she will even snag a picture or two of Mike and I since we decided against formal maternity photos. I feel like we need some sort of evidence that I was pregnant with Mike in the pictures. 😂 He is not much for photo shoots, so I’ve done my best to come to terms with that but did give him a heads up that I will want pictures of our little family of three when baby girl arrives!!

We also spoiled ourselves with a little bit of safe pampering already – pedicures!! I last got my toes done in February. Needless to say, they needed some love and it was pure bliss.

Here’s to the baby countdown!!!
