Quick update! RE: Hurricanes Marco and Laura

Hey everyone, just a quick update. For those of you who don’t know, I live in New Orleans, LA. Last week we had two hurricanes come at Louisiana. First up was Marco, LB’s daycare closed last Monday in preparation of it coming and possibly causing damage to our area. Turned out to be nothing and LB and I just spent the day together.

Then Thursday her daycare closed for Laura. Laura was a Cat 4 hurricane when it made landfall. The East sides of hurricanes tends to be where all the storms that come off the main cyclone are, and New Orleans was East of the storm. However, we got lucky and didn’t really have any seriously bad weather here.

So, I kind of lost my blogging time last week and I’m still playing a bit of catch-up with my work and all my doctor appointments (which had to get rescheduled from last week to this week also).

Please forgive the lack of posts last week and probably this week, aside from this one, and I hope to be back on schedule by next Tuesday if not sooner. Thanks!

What are you thankful for?

This week will mark one year since Mr. LL’s mother’s funeral. I was going to write about that but I don’t feel like I should. Not yet, if ever.

Instead I want to share what I’m thankful for during this time of chaos, hormones and reflection.

My husband…

MR. LL WITH A TINY LB (2017)

MR. LL WITH A TINY LB (2017)

He is supportive, loving, kind, generous and fun. I’m thankful every day that I get to spend my life with him and raise our children together.

My kiddo…

sILLY FUN.

sILLY FUN.

LB is so funny and kind. She is caring and growing into such an amazing little person, each and every day.

My job…

I’m so grateful that my job is one that can allow me to work from home and that I haven’t had to worry about being laid off or losing our health insurance or putting myself and my unborn baby at risk by going into the public to work.

Grocery delivery…

Since grocery shopping has been ranked as low-risk, I’m going to try to get back to doing it myself, but I’ve been grateful that we’ve been able to have this service and afford it during these times.

That this is NOT my first pregnancy…

This is a crazy time to be pregnant and I’m glad that I got to experience it during a “normal” time already because I’m sure I’d be freaking out a lot more if this was my first rodeo.


What about you?
What are you thankful for these days?
