7:24 am | Since being pregnant, I’ve been sleeping in a little later. Throughout the week, Kevin typically gets up to let the dogs out and then they come snuggle back in bed with me until my alarm goes off (or let’s be honest – a little after my alarm). It’s one of my favorite parts of the day. I’ve always been a hop out of bed person, but pregnancy has really opened my eyes to the perks of the snooze button.
8:02 am | I started using daily contacts this year and it’s been a game changer. I had the bad habit of sleeping in my monthlys before (don’t judge) so getting to put in fresh contacts daily really is truly a luxury – and so much better for my eyes.
8:20 am | Today I let the dogs out before I headed off to work. Of course, they got their paws all muddy thanks to the recent rain which means that they also got foot baths when we came in from outside. Thankfully they know what to do when I tell them to “get in the bath” so it only takes us about 5 minutes.
5:40 pm | On my way in from work, I stopped to check on my peonies. Every year, I anticipate the blooms and never have I been disappointed. We’re getting close.
6:01 pm | We recently got the dresser all set up for the nursery. I am beyond excited about how it is all coming together and am super thankful to Kevin for taking some time to put it together.
6:30 pm | Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about slowing down and what it looks like to experience things at a speed that they were meant to be enjoyed – not rushing through, but also not going so slow that you’re wasting time. I think it’s a fine line. I spent some time hanging outside, enjoying the 60 degree weather and all the plants that are currently in bloom. There is so much gratitude for this day and this project that’s allowing me to spend time looking at my life in a way that will certainly be different in a few months.
As a side note, I’ve been doing this same project off and on for a few years. In 2018, we did Week in the Life in May and while I would say my life probably hasn’t changed much since then – I would certainly be wrong. If you feel like taking a trip down memory lane with me, check out these posts:
I’ll be sharing photos like these every day this week with Ali Edwards’ Week in the Life project. It’s not too late to get started if you feel like following along. Thanks for stopping by!
