Hi friends 👋 I’ve been pretty absent around h

Hi friends 👋 I’ve been pretty absent around here lately. I almost completely disconnected in July when we hunkered down in no cell service land and soaked up every bit of family time and just haven’t been able to get myself to really reconnect.
.
Does this ever happen to you?
.
When I get on, it just doesn’t feel.... real. Or something. I have no idea how to explain it. Everyone seems to be in such different seasons and it’s hard to relate or feel relatable. I’m chasing an active baby and I know that every moment with him is six million more times important than zoning out on stories about which eyeliner someone just bought or what they are having for lunch or watch them watch tv.
.
And, there’s a lot happening around us and I’m trying to pay attention to all that so I can be a better teacher, better mom, better ally, better human. Trying to learn. But also not trying to get too consumed because the real work isn’t done on here. And just feeling kind of icky about posting on here when so much other stuff is so BIG compared to what’s going on in my bubble.
.
What even is 2020?!
.
I love y’all. I’m cheering you on in your season of life, I’m just a little out of touch of where that is with some of you because of how little time I’m spending on here.
.
What’s new? What’s feeling funky to you lately beside the obvious state of the world? Tell me something real. Something happy. Something. Anything. Say hi.
.
I’m around. Just not as much. I’ll be back more at some point. Maybe. 😘

.
You have officially been on the outside for as long as you were on in the inside and most days I still can’t even believe it’s real.
.
You love: crawling, standing, dancing (hip hop is your fav 🎶), touch and feel books, your dog, food, cuddling your Bunbun, the wind and the ocean, the garbage truck, the Jack in the Box, grabbing mommas glasses off her face and giving raspberries.
.
You do not love: getting out of the tub, getting dressed, or getting your diaper changed. (Not much has changed on this front).
.
You are not so sure about: being set in a bouncy chair or anything like that now that you know how to move.
.
During the past month you: had a huge month! You traveled for the first time (2 day road trip - over the mountains and through the woods to grandma and grandpas house), saw the ocean and played in the sand for the first time, learned how to crawl on our trip and cut your first tooth. You started waving and eating some non puréed foods.
.
Mom and dad are: very busy chasing you now that you are on the move! Grateful for this time to watch you grow right before our eyes - our silver lining of a global pandemic. Every new thing is so incredible to witness. We are so in love with you, Becks. 💙

Happy World Embryologist Day 🔬 . It took years

Happy World Embryologist Day 🔬
.
It took years of patience and trust in a team of medical professionals at our fertility clinic for this little dreamboat to join our family.
.
The embryologist plays a crucial part in the process. The embryologist is the one to separate the egg from the follicle after undergoing egg retrieval. This medical specialist is the one to actually combine the egg and sperm to create the embryos.
.
For our embryos, the embryologist performed ICSI, a process where single healthy sperm is injected into the nature eggs 🤯 to aid in the chances of fertilization.
.
The embryologists are the heroes behind the scenes.
.
On our transfer day, our embryologist talked to us about the thawing process of our embryos characteristics. She did so with a smile and excitement on a day that is a pretty big deal in our story. We watched her meticulously transfer the embryo from the Petri dish 🧫 to the small catheter and carefully passed it off to our Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) for transfer.
.
Shout out to the team of embryologists at @srmfertility for creating this perfect little nugget with our DNA 🧬

Halfway to home. Halfway to my old home and halfwa

Halfway to home. Halfway to my old home and halfway to our home now. I get homesick every year, mostly around the holidays. Since having Beckett it has been especially hard living so far away from all of my family. Then you throw in a pandemic! It’s a little tricky right now, but I know the day he will get to meet and play with his cousins, aunts and uncles is a day worth looking forward to. We talk about moving home a lot, but for now we will be grateful for the time we get. Hometown, thanks for sharing your beauty with my boy 💙

No better way to start our day than with sand between our toes and listening to the waves crash. We’ve been here for almost 3 weeks and it doesn’t feel like nearly enough time. It’s been really special to bring B to where I spent my entire childhood, my happy place. 🐳@liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.family #liketkit #LTKbaby #LTKkids #LTKfamily http://liketk.it/2SWdF Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to shop this pic via screenshot
