Twin Update~32.5 Weeks

Pregnant lumberjack-31 weeks

I wake up every morning thankful for my health, my incredible body that is capable of growing two humans at one time and my little family.  I am truly blessed! Carrying the weight of two babies is no joke and by the end of each day I enjoy a big cup of raspberry leaf tea and to relax in front of the fire on the couch.  I am still going to yoga regularly and enjoy getting out to walk Mr. Pib, when its not too windy.  I can handle the cold but the wind is what keeps me inside. So yes, I am slowly adjusting to the cold.

My wonderful East Coast family (plus my west coast mama) held a little shower for me.

Winter Playland

Rewind a few more weeks and... 

Around 26-28 weeks I needed some sunshine and we headed to Hawaii to 

travel one last time with just one kid.

Our "home" private tide fed swimming pools

We took a picture of Olive and Wylder as babies when the jackfruit was the same size as them.
Fun to see how much they have grown.

Homemade coconut cream

Papa harvested all these coconuts and we ate every edible part.

My beautiful hawaii ladies. We all have toddlers the same age and are all due with
baby number 2 or 2&3 around the same time.

An Update on Life

After almost a year in Captain Cook, HI we moved our little family to Syracuse, NY to be in close proximity and play an active role in Tom's life (Nate's dad), who had been diagnosed with a terminal brain disease.   We were welcomed by Nate's incredibly supportive family and the move went smooth.  It is nice to see Wylder surrounded with many cousins and of course tons of uncles and aunts.  Other exciting news is that our little family is growing and will soon jump from the number 3 to 5 and if you include Mr. Pib, 4 to 6. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with twins!  We originally thought 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog, some camping gear and a roof rack; mountains and traveling here we come.  Well add one more kid to that and a slightly bigger car and we will still adventure. 
We couldn't be more EXCITED. Twins, wow. Turns out they run in both our families. 
Here are some photos of Wylder (2), Nate and I living life to the fullest.
So much love from our family to yours!

Tom passed away September 2018. It was especially nice to see
Wylder with her Giogi (grandpa in Polish).

My Birthday Weekend

My first birthday as a mother. What a magnificent day.  It started with a yoga session, followed by an amazing plant based lunch to a relaxing afternoon on the beach. We then played a round of mini golf and then had a pint of beer with some friends.  I couldn't of asked for a better day with Wylder and Papa Nate. 

I even got a hole in one!

We spent one beautiful starry night camping in Idyllwild. 

Then we headed up to big bear where Wylder got to go on her first zipline. jump on a trampoline and ride a quad.

We are a blessed family.
