Trust Your Cues

I hope you’re all having a great weekend! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, again we spent the weekend getting things done ahead of the baby’s arrival. We have gotten most of the big things done, but now it’s doing the little things like cleaning out the fridge/freezer to make room for some postpartum meal prep items. We do have to make a trip to IKEA today, and I have no doubt that walking around IKEA at almost 10 months pregnant is going to be quite the undertaking, but we’ll get some cinnamon rolls and will finally have all of our big ticket items checked off our list.

LA has been a little crazy the last week hosting some World Cup games, which we’ve been enjoying watching this week on TV. I grew up playing soccer but it has been so long since I’ve really watched a game, so I’ve enjoyed getting to watch soccer again!
