Ahoy From Sweden!

Just back from a really nice visit to one my dearest friends whom I’ve known since grad school and someone whom I’ve seen a lot of this gorgeous world with.

Jenny (aka “La GG” or “the Greek Goddess”, a moniker adopted from our Mediterranean adventures) and I made a pact over a decade ago to travel somewhere new (and fabulous) each year and we’ve done a darn good job of keeping that commitment over time. This year was no exception as I was happy to pack my little in utero passenger for her for first international visit to Scandinavia.

All told, the time was well spent playing, hugging, visiting, walking, shopping, eating, laughing, and loving life with my two favorite Swedish gals, Jenny and her and Morgan’s little Emmy.

20 Weeks: Halfway!

 The bump at 20 weeks

20 weeks down. 20 weeks to go. We’re HALFWAY through our first pregnancy and are feeling GREAT and GRATEFUL!

As we march into month five, our growing baby girl is:

  • The size of a cantaloupe
  • Developing working taste buds (often overriding mom’s preferences)
  • Starting to let us know how active she is in there
  • Starting to limit mom on her choices of clothes in the closet
  • Enjoying regular prenatal yoga classes (or at least mom really is)
  • Getting nightly talks and prayers from dad (makes mom’s heart melt!)
  • About to take off on her first international trip (in utero) to visit Auntie Jenny, Morgan and Baby Emmy for a week in Sweden
  • Already being spoiled with generous gifts from loved ones near and far
Spring has sprung here in Texas and overall, we’re enjoying the warm, breezy outdoors while taking in each new week as it comes.
