S'mores Season: Officially Open

It's time, my darlings. Camping season has arrived and we are eager to test out our new fancy-pants tent this weekend as we explore the New Glarus campground for the first time. We've been to New Glarus but had stayed in a hotel so we're pretty pumped to camp & hang out. We're pretty fabulous campers.

I know you've seen all of my camping gear: organized, clean, and ready to rock.

I've been finding copious amounts of joy in reading this great blog Little Baby Garvin. She has amazing ideas and I love the way she finds a reason to celebrate everyday events. And let's be honest, her daughter is chunker and I think we all know how I feel about chunky babies :D

So. Look forward to the post about our trip and how easy (hopefully) this great new tent really is to get up -- we're purposely arriving during daylight to ensure we can see what we're doing, at least for this first trip. Keep your fingers crossed for decent weather & we'll share our stories when we get back!

Have a great weekend!
xoxo

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool. Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures! I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut. I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel. Check out the website here and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way! Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite. So I'm not going to. But you can! :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive! I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives. And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

I suppose this kid's gonna need somewhere to sleep...

As an avid blog stalker reader, I have been following several stories of other families who have struggled with infertility and am actually just days separated from Liz & her hubby at Wishing on a Snowflak e who adopted embryos and actually had her transfer the same week I did and we both got positive results. I read her blog today and saw the amazing nursery they're putting together for their daughter and I realized something kind of important... Holy shit. This kid is going to need somewhere to sleep. And we're already almost 14 weeks deep. I suspect it's much like the wedding. I was never really the girl who dreamed about her wedding day in great detail. I was too busy hoping to find the right person, the details didn't matter. I feel like I've been so busy wishing, hoping, praying, stabbing myself with needles, etc to give this some real deep thought. Remember when we moved in to our apartment and Porch was all like " We could raise some...
