Happy Sunday! This week was such a bright spot! We had the best time on our babymoon in North Carolina and I can’t wait to share more this week. Getting a change of scenery and sneaking off together for a few nights was heavenly! I also made my first reels on our babymoon and did one a day during the trip. It was fun playing around with reels! I’m excited to get better at them. We had a lovely weekend in Charleston too that included drinks at our neighbor’s house on Friday evening and lunch at our friend’s house on Saturday. It was great to clock in some friend time before our baby arrives! I also went on a long walk with Kristin, which was wonderful.
I can’t ride our peloton anymore in my efforts to flip our breech baby so walking is my cardio right now. I’m trying to get as much of it in as I can in the mornings and evenings when it is a bit cooler. That’s it for the updates from me! I hope everyone had a wonderful week and is feeling ready for the week ahead… September 1st is on Tuesday! Can you believe it!?
