We had a follow-up ultrasound yesterday, because at the 20 week assessment, the tech couldn’t get a good view of our sweet baby’s stomach. I asked for prayers on my Instagram and was so overwhelmed by the amazing response. It definitely set my mind at ease. Unfortunately, even though she did see what she was pretty sure was the stomach, the baby really has to swallow during the ultrasound to get a good view, and I guess that didn’t happen so we have to go back again for another follow-up in 4 weeks. Hooray. But we’re staying very positive and know that it’s all in God’s hands. I’m certain this baby is juuuust fine.
It’s in the 100’s all this week. Like, yesterday got to 106 and today is supposed to be 109. WHY. I keep seeing people talking about fall this and fall that, posting photos of their pumpkin decor and PSL’s and I’m over here SWEATING. It’s been so hot this week, that we’ve made a point to get out the door by 8am so we can do some things outside before it gets too unbearable and we have to haul back in to the A/C for the remainder of the day. It’s fun, guys. No but really. We have been having fun!
One such early morning, we headed to our neighborhood park for some basketball/ jogging/ playgrounding. Zack was basketball, I was jogging and Sam was playgrounding, in case you didn’t catch that. It was SO cute watching my boys play basketball together, oh my gosh. I died. And took a million pictures. And! I got 2 miles in! I switched between jogging and walking, but I’m sore today and not even mad about it! Also, Sam’s favorite word is “ball” and so he was having the best time chasing after the balls on the court and also every time he sees a basketball hoop now he says “ball!” so that’s pretty cute.
We received this J is for Jeep Brand Adventure All-Terrain Jogging Stroller (I know, mouthful! Ha!) and have been loving it! We finally have a stroller with a cup holder and it is such a game changer, guys. Also the organizer tray is awesome, so I have a place to put my cell phone and keys during a run. Sam seems to be enjoying his wheels, too.
And now it’s the weekend! Zack survived his first week of school, and I survived my first week as a SAHM for the year. We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to celebrate this weekend! And Sunday is the antiques fair in our city, which is only like my favorite thing everrrr so I’m really looking forward to that. Hoping to find some dining room chairs (we sold ours and currently don’t have… umm… any haha, it’s rough) and also maybe a dresser for the nursery?! Wish us luck!
What are your weekend plans?
How’s the weather where you are? Hot or fall-like?

I live in MN and was biking this morning, it was SO cold. It will probably snow next week.
Oh wow. Snow already!! I think we might have to make a trip to MN! ;)

I live in Missouri, we had a cold front come through last night. The high for today is 71!! Fall is here and the weather is perfect!! Tonight we are going to cheer on our hometown high school football team, tomorrow my oldest has a soccer game so we are planning on enjoying this beautiful fall weather.
Ahhh so jealous of your beautiful weather!! Although, next week is looking to be high 70s and low 80s, which I will TAKE, happily! :) So fun to go to high school football games- I’ve been wanting to go to one. Maybe this fall we will!

I live in Alabama, so it will be “summer” until late October. Ugh. But then we will be rejoicing when it’s warm in March/April, so it balances out.
Have fun at that antique fair! Sounds like my kind of event, too. :)
Alabama sounds pretty similar to California! Summer stays until late October here too!

I am in San Diego and it has also been 100+ degrees, it’s not normal for it to be THIS hot and makes it hard to get in the fall spirit! Hoping the weather decides to cool down soon
I am so shocked that SD has been so hot lately- usually it’s always perfect haha. Hopefully it cools down for all of us soon! I think this week will be pretty nice. :)

Been thinking about you and your family. I have a feeling everything is good. Enjoy getting extra glimpses of that cute baby! xoxo
You are so sweet, Jessica! Thank you <3

Alright, more pregnant lady stalker questions! :) How do you like the Jeep stroller?! I know that Bob is the holy grail of all jogging strollers, but holy price tag! I think that my marathon training days are going to take a back seat for quite awhile at least while I’m on this NEW adventure, so I also don’t know if the Bob is worth the investment for me (at least not right now with so many other more important purchases on the horizon!), and this one is such a great price too!
We really like it!! I know EXACTLY what you mean- the BOB is crazy expensive! I recommend the Jeep one, for sure. Comes with cup holders, a tray for your keys/phone/sunglasses/whatever. A tray for Baby (when they start eating snacks), and you can put an infant car seat in it! It’s smooth, has a front locking wheel (important to make sure that you lock it before jogging, otherwise it will swivel like crazy!) and the handlebar is pretty comfy. :) And there is no such thing as too many questions about babies/pregnancy! Ask away, always!

I live in Alabama and it’s been in the 80’s / 90’s for most of the week, but this morning I woke up to 55 degrees. I was so excited!!!! Hopefully you’ll be able to feel the joy I felt of putting on a hoodie and wearing it outside comfortably soon.
On another note, my husband is really into basketball and plays all the time. Seeing your photos of Zack & Sam playing together melted my heart. I totally had a glimpse into my future! :D
Ooh wearing a hoodie outside sounds like HEAVEN right now, haha! Soon enough, I’m sure. :) And that is so sweet! My husband loves playing basketball too, and it really is the CUTEST thing seeing Sam “play” with him. He loves it too!
