I didn’t do a lot of research about pregnancy and birthing until the end of my pregnancy. For me, it was better not knowing all the details of what is to come. Most of my knowledge about birthing and post delivery is from talking to my friends who have experienced…

Weekend Recap: Shower, Football & Nesting
Officially 39 weeks and the countdown to my Sept 19th due date is on! I am getting anxious and ready for it all to be over. I am trying to mentally prepare myself that I could deliver late but prepared to go any day now. Come on Logan!! Friday night…

Vasa Park Resort
After their first night at Saltwater State Park, my parents and their dogs packed up the RV and headed to Vasa Park Resort. Vasa Park Resort is located a little closer to where we live right off I-90 in Bellevue on Lake Sammamish. We grilled out and enjoyed the beautiful lake views…

Weekend Recap: Slowing Down
Our weekends filled with active adventures are slowing down. I hit the 36 week pregnancy mark and my body is telling me it needs more sleep, rest and overall needs to slow down. I did more resting & nesting this weekend than I normally do. Since we won’t be living…

Seattle Vibes & Thursday Thoughts
I never intended to bring this up on my blog. It’s part of my past now I want to forget. I don’t want to relive any of it. We ended up in Seattle because I took a job with Amazon last year. I applaud the NY Times for publishing the…

5 Years Later…
Happy 5th Anniversary to my husband! It’s crazy how fast the years go by. We married 5 years ago today and started dating eleven years ago. We have lived on the west and east coasts. Our shiba inu turns 8 soon and we have a baby boy on the way!…

Rooftop Grilling
One thing I will miss about living at the Lyric in Capitol Hill is the rooftop and the view! There is a good possibility we will be living here for a month or so when Logan arrives but we will be moving out this Fall. It will be bittersweet as…

Seafair Weekend Vibes
This was our first year of enjoying the Seattle Seafair activities. Seafair is a month long celebration of community events, parades, the Navy and Coast Guard, airplanes and boat racing. It reminds me of Fleet Week in NYC. Saturday, we spent our day watching the Washington State Open tennis tournament…

Working Out at Home
My workouts have slowed down in intensity over the past few weeks. I am still doing pilates and playing tennis once a week. My workouts are shifting to be more stretching based and I am completing most of them from home now. It is important to stay active during pregnancy…
