Monday Moments | The Real Us | Personal

I can't believe its been a whole week since the first Monday Moments post! The last week has been crazy busy for us!! We are packing up a storm around here getting ready for our big trip this coming week!! Lists are made, suitcases are out of the attic and the stock piles of stuff have started to be assembled. Im kind of an organization freak so my lists may go a bit overboard, but! Not one thing is ever forgotten. And I can brag on that fact haha!! Well, nothing Malachi needs is ever forgotten. I usually leave one or two of my own things behind. But I can survive haha!!

Nic finished up a few painting jobs this weekend so Malachi has absolutely loved having daddy around again! Nic has been such a Godsend since my dad got a hurt a few weeks back. He has picked up all the slack, and for that I will always be grateful. We are very happy to have our Nicolas home again though!

We finished up the rest of our shopping for our trip and I finally found a swimming suit that I don't completely hate, which is a win! Post csection recovery is no joke, and neither is post baby body. The struggle is real haha. Also! There is  Lush cosmetics coming to our mall. Im in trouble. And so is our bank account. All the bath bombs coming to my house. All of them! Malachi also discovered that if he drives the giant truck that is not made for riding, but he most certainly rides, over to this gate and then stands up on it, he can get over the gate. We are in trouble. Thats all.

We took some time yesterday and let the little man play in his baby pool and facetimed with Grandma and Aunt Desi for a bit!! We are so excited that Grandma and Poppi will be coming to Orlando to spend a whole day with us next week! We are going to go to Chef Mickey's and enjoy the characters with them, do some swimming at the Disney Jr. Pool Party at our resort and do some shopping at Downtown Disney. It will be a fun day for sure!!!!

We had three nights this week where Malachi only woke up once and it was before Nic and I were in bed, so thats a major sleep win!! For any one that knows anything about whats been happening with Malachi and his sleeping issues, this was big for us! Hes the sweetest little guy, he just hates nighttime. Which is a problem. But God gives us grace. And we are surviving and this too shall pass.

The biggest thing that I have been working on and learning in my personal life this week, is that every single day is a gift. There arent any promises for tomorrow. So instead of wishing away today because tomorrow Nic is home for the whole day, or being short with Malachi because hes crying nonstop because of those stupid teeth (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr) or being more concerned with my blogs or my editing or anything inbetween, Im enjoying every single moment that I have with this sweet boy. Teaching him and playing with him. Moving from moment to moment and remembering the little look on his face when he reacts to every little thing in his world. Watching the movie he picks out and brings over to me, saying yes to the bright colored ball in the store when his eyes light up and he says "pease mum mum" and playing with him the whole way home. Every moment is a gift. We have to treat it that way.

And thats been our week!! The blog will be a little quiet next week as we will be having the time of our lives in the most Magical Place on Earth. But you better believe there will be a blog full of characters and Malachi giggles when we get back!!!

Look for a beautiful in home newborn session later this week!!!
