i'll take progress!

Update on my little one - We currently bought her a spray bottle so if she comes acrossed any spiders, rats, or snakes she can spray them away! This has worked wonderfully for daytime. She was able to sit upstairs at the dining room table while I ran downstairs to do laundry. Major score! :)

However, it has not helped with bedtime. She still won't go to sleep by herself. I end up sitting, and sometimes falling asleep (until my husband comes and wakes me), on her floor. I keep myself entertained by browsing facebook or pinterest on my phone or my kindle fire. It's not too bad.

I'll take this progress. So much better than how it was previously, when I couldn't even get a moment of peace.

In other news... In just 10 days, I will have my feet in the sand for a whole 7 days & 6 nights! My husband's family share a beach house in Ocean City, MD.

It was originally my husband's paternal grandmother's home, until she passed away a few years ago. I am so thankful to have gotten to know her. I just wished we could have told her about K before she passed. We were young, not married, and terrified. We did not tell anybody until I was about 4.5 months pregnant, when I first started to show. She died about a month into our pregnancy. It would have been her first great-grandchild. While, she was bedridden (she died from pancreatic cancer), she gave Dave her engagement ring. I get to wear this beautiful ring every day of my life. My husband says I could change the band if I wanted, but I love how simple it is, and it is a constant reminder of a beautiful woman who was taken away from this world way too soon.

Just felt I would share that. Not quite sure why, but it just felt necessary.

So hurry up vacation! I can't wait to see you!

What trips do you have planned this summer?
