Weekend Getaway in St. George, Utah!

To My Beautiful Child

1 Feb

My favorite jeans: Nordstrom | My favorite sweater: Nordstrom | My new favorite COMFY sneakers: Amazon | Harris’ hat (on sale!): Old Navy | Goldie’s hat (on sale!): Old Navy

Depending on where you live in the country, you may not believe what I’m about to say. 50 degrees felt like a dream this weekend!! The sun on my face…well, words don’t quite do it justice. Here is how our conversation went when we decided to leave for the weekend:

Thursday night –

Tyler – “So, are we leaving tomorrow?”

Me – “You were serious?”

Tyler – “Yeah! Let’s get out of here!”

And so we did. My in-laws have a vacation home so we were able to stay there for our weekend getaway in St. George. It took 3.5 hours to drive down and we left right after the babies ate at their 8 pm feeding so they would sleep the whole way. It worked out well! Goldie grunted a couple of times at her distaste in our music choices, but she calmed down quickly when I turned down the volume and went right back to sleep.

We went to breakfast the next morning and when Tyler was holding Gold, she started to get fussy. I asked him if he wanted to switch me for Harris after a few minutes thinking maybe she just needed a change of scenery (parenthood is a guessing game much of the time, agreed?) and as we did, I smelled something…um…well, you know. She had a massive blowout. Like, it was all over her PJ’s (we headed out the door as soon as they were done eating and hadn’t gotten them dressed for the day yet). AND I forgot a change of clothes. Oops. I went to the bathroom and changed her and then wrapped her up in her blanket with nothing but a diaper on her cute little body. I was so embarrassed and hoped nobody saw her without clothes on so I held the blanket close to her! Next time I’ll do better. Can I still blame that on being a new mom?

While the babies were napping, we took the baby monitor and went outside in the back of the house and sat in the sun a few times. It pretty much healed all ills and the few minutes outside was so nice. Seriously, if you live in Utah, you know what I’m talking about when I say that January and February SUCK. I’m sorry for the eloquent way I just described that, but I feel like it’s the only way to do the way I feel justice. It gets really smoggy where we live in the valley and the air quality is just disgusting. I’m sure that paragraph left you feeling uplifted and jealous, right?

We went on a mini “hike” with the babies because by the time we got there, it was time to turn around for nap time. Ha! I also ate my fair share of Nielsen’s Frozen Custard and now that’s pretty much all I want to eat. I only have 29 more days to lose the rest of my baby weight. Ahh!! Why is it so hard? I mean, it couldn’t possibly be the mini Snickers bars I purchased that are calling my name from the pantry…could it? That was a great purchase.

I hope you have a great day! I’ll see you back here on Friday. I’m going to be doing an infertility Q&A and give my resources to help you find a good doctor in your area if you need it, so if you have any questions that you want included about infertility or IVF, please leave them here or on this Instagram post.

Thanks, guys! xo

    Murphy’s law of being a new parent is they will only have a blow out when you have no change of clothes. Learned that not once, but twice!

    Looks like it was a lovely weekend away! 🙂

      Trina – my job is what actually got me through IVF because I had really good insurance. Plus it was a good distraction. So for me, I definitely wouldn’t recommend quitting. It’s a very personal decision though!

    I’m going to St. George in two weeks for a baseball tournament. Any restaurant suggestions or other things to do in St. George? Thank you – I’m coming from Minnesota so I know I will appreciate the sun and warmth.

    You have twins, you can blame anything you forget on the fact that you have two babies to take care of at once. Mine are eight now, and I still blame them for stuff. Haha!

Tyler gave Warner a beautiful blessing today and i Tyler gave Warner a beautiful blessing today and it struck me all day how I could have never dreamed my life being this beautiful and filled with so many unbelievably incredible people with supportive and meaningful relationships a year and a half ago. Infertility is hard and life is hard. God has been SO GOOD to me. The contrast of going through some of the hardest experiences of my life to this joy is completely opposite, and today was such a celebration and full circle moment for me.

If you’re going through your really hard moments, just remember that there is opposition in all things and I believe that the joy will match the level of discomfort you’re in.

Warner - thank you for being a testament of God’s goodness to us! 🥹🤍 And thank you to my people. You know who you are and I’m here in some of my happiest moments because of you! #babyblessing
The lyrics to “The Best Day” by Taylor Swift k The lyrics to “The Best Day” by Taylor Swift kept running through my mind as I soaked in all of the 7-year-old-ness of my baby girl on our fashion show date night. 🥹 She brought a big backpack full of items “in case I get bored” 🤣 and didn’t end up bringing it in. She is a DELIGHT to be with. I love that I get the privilege of knowing her better every day and lifting her up so she always remembers who she is.

Goldie - “I had the best day with you today.” 🥹🥹 I love your passion, your grand expressions and your humor. I love your creativity and inquisitive nature. I couldn’t be more grateful!

@ivycityco thank you for the beautiful night and the beautiful dresses! My code is JENICA15 🤍 #ivycityco #mommydaughterdate #mygirl #ivfmiracle
