What’s Up Wednesday – February 2018

February 27, 2019 by Rechelle 11 Comments

I’m joining in for my FAVE linkup with Sheaffer & Shay to share what we’ve been up to this month!

Whats-Up-Wednesday.png

What we’re eating this week…

Our house is filled with ALL the food & leftovers! We brought home our baby, Ronald, on February 13th and my mom stayed with us the first few days helping us out and cooking too. Then my in-laws came up from AZ for all of last week to meet Ronald & they cooked for us too!! Of course dinnertime is also usually when little Ronald decides to be fussy so it often looks like this 😉

What I’m reminiscing about…

February 2017 I had just chopped my hair off to donate and we went to an Eric Church concert <3 I’m hoping to donate my hair again soon and already looking forward to at least one concert we’ve got tickets to later this year!

What I’m loving…

Last week we had newborn pictures taken in our home and received a couple sneak peeks, can’t wait to share more!!

What we’ve been up to…

It has been all things baby over here! Learning our new normal as a family and of course surviving on minimal sleep lol

What I’m dreading…

Ronald is already 2 weeks old and they have been the absolute fastest 2 weeks of my life, I’ve only got 10 more weeks home with him and I’m already dreading going back to work in May :\

What I’m working on…

On Monday I shared Ronald’s birth story here, I’m working on writing a follow up post about some of the complications I encountered after labor & delivery.

What I’m excited about…

I recently found this account on Instagram and I can’t wait to dive in more and follow along!

What I’m watching/reading…

Keeping up with Grey’s Anatomy, though I’m usually catching it a couple days later because no way I can stay up that late these days lol. And at night when I wake up to breastfeed I’m reading more of this book.

What I’m listening to…

A baby crying…ha!?

What I’m wearing…

Honestly just all the comfy & cozy clothes around home that are easy for nursing too. However I do I have a bachelorette party coming up this Spring in Florida so I’m on the hunt for new swimwear, these caught my eye at Target 😉

What I’m doing this weekend…

What I’m looking forward to next month…

St. Patrick’s Day!!! Coming from a tiny Irish town it is always the biggest holiday for us, I also Irish danced for 10 years as a kid so March was a busy month of dance performances. I am excited to start new celebrations & traditions for Ronald <3
