Good Easter. We made pretty eggs. AJ loved his basket. We ended up at my grandma's for dinner. It was a good day. And my boy is so big and handsome.  AJ's Birthday Party. We had so many friends come for AJ's party. Not very much family, sadly. But everyone loved the park we chose (Grandpa's Pond). The downside was AJ's behavior after the party. He was SO overstimulated and wiped out; he was being a monster. Matthew got him to take a nap, but he woke up from that still super grumpy. He eventually worked through it, but it definitely was a reminder about the reality of turning 4. A sense of calm/arrival. I have this feeling of deep gratitude and arrival and steadiness. Like this thing I've been wanting and uncertain whether it would happen has finally happened. We love our home and are still adjusting to the area; I don't know if I'll ever love Taylorsville like I loved Sandy. But I'm grateful to have what I feel like we've worked hard and waited f...

4/1 I was up early for the gym. Work was pretty quiet. We watched the rocket launch in my coworker's office. I picked up AJ, got home, and made a Kevin's meal and quinoa. We chased AJ around all evening trying to feed him. I did dishes. We did bed time. I was in bed by 10, which is actually a big deal for me.  4/2 I got up at 6 and did cardio in the basement. I picked up donuts for work, and we had McDonald's lunch for my coworker's 10 year anniversary. I picked up AJ and handled the evening without Matthew since he was catering. After bathing AJ and getting him in bed, I watched Outlander and put music on my iPhone. 4/3 I woke up and walked on the treadmill. I did a half day at work. I got an oil change. I got groceries. I started cleaning and laundry. I picked up AJ and took him to get a hair cut. We went and got dinner at Panda Express, then got boba tea. Matthew had catering, so I handled AJ solo.  4/4 I went to the gym at 8 to train with my coach. Matthew had cater...

Good Springtime. YAAASSS. The later sunshine and 70+ degree days are the bee's knees. Sitting outside in beautiful weather, in my own yard, has been so awesome.  Housewarming. Having people in my home and not feeling embarrassed or apologetic was so nice. It was nice to have space. Looking around my home and seeing everyone's generous contributions toward making it what it is, is so cool. Everyone's enthusiasm and kindness in seeing our home was so heartwarming. What a fun time of life. I wish I had gotten photos, but people started arriving right as I was done setting up.  Home formation. I am really happy with how far our home has come in just three weeks. It's wild to look back at my March in Review and know we went from living in one home to being pretty well settled in a new home. Crazy how fast life changes.  Cost savings. My fertility medication was getting shipped through Optum Specialty Pharmacy for $119. They stopped doing fertility meds at the end of February...

March in Review

3/1 I woke up about 7am and snuggled AJ on the couch for a few minutes. Matthew took AJ to Home Depot while I did some packing (AJ's books and toys) and loaded things in my car. Matthew brought back lunch and my birthday Dutch Bros. I went to the new house and unloaded some things. I came back to the house, and we loaded more stuff and went to the new house as a family. I had to get home by 5 to set out a ceiling fan we are giving away. Matthew made dinner.  3/2 I went to the gym. Work was pretty quiet. I picked up AJ and brought him home. We ate dinner. I did bath, and Matthew finished bed time. I got my birthday Waffle Love. We watched Scrubs. We didn't take anything to the new house due to the rain. Matthew wasn't feeling great and was battling a stuffy nose.  3/3 I had a rough morning. I woke up not feeling well. I fell off my treadmill, and the screw came out that attaches the bottom to the side rails. When I opened the drawer to find a tool to fix it, the entire drawe...
