Tomorrow is your date but we still don’t know if it’s going to be the day you chose to arrive. I am anxious and excited, and you’d thing that after your brother and sister I would be used to this, but it’s other same rush every time. We’re all very ready and eager to meet you. You can come out now, it’s a beautiful world out here.
I’ve always been a major coffee person. It has been my main fuel for years – then I got pregnant, and my doctor recommended to slow down on the caffeine intake during those months. And so it began my quest searching for something that’d up my energy levels.
Tam (@mamabele) told me to try these packed teas and I just love them! My energy is back up like a dream. It’s a blend of oolong, goji berry, lemongrass, and some I just can’t remember right now. They claim it can also boost the immune system, help with digestion…Plus, it’s all natural and vegan friendly!
Woohoo, halfway through! Last week was pretty busy, so we’re skipping the 19 week log. And I have exciting news: Tobias surprised me with a quick trip to Thailand! We are going the first days of April, before Emerson’s 3rd birthday.
It’ll be our last big trip before the baby arrives, since we’re not really planning on leaving Hawaii after that. My dad is coming over to stay with Angus and Mercy.

We were waiting for the second trimester to begin and after our family and closest friends knew about it to tell the good news here. Baby #3 is on the way!
Me and Tobias were “trying but not trying”, and last november I started feeling queasy in the mornings which made me run to the drugstore for a test. Guess what? Positive!
