Friday Roundup: May 1

Hello! It’s been two months almost since the last Friday Roundup. Since then, I’ve had a baby, you can read my birth story here, and have been at home in isolation due to Covid19. What a weird couple of months!

Besides tending to a newborn and trying to sleep, we haven’t been up to much around here. Cooking, well Curtis has been cooking, I’ve been breastfeeding around the clock. Enjoying cocktails on occasion, removing my gel manicure, and watching all the shows on TV. It’s been nice to have the first month all to ourselves but sad that our families and friends haven’t met Rowan, she’s been robbed of that. She met everyone at a social distance but it’s not the same obviously.

Curtis and I also celebrated our three year wedding anniversary, we got takeout from Savio Volpe and my mom dropped off cake for us! My birthday is next week so I will be celebrating that again at home and also my first Mother’s Day. It will be a weird birthday this year, usually, we do cake and dinner with my family and that won’t be happening.

Anyways, I thought why not share a few photos of our time plus some fun links! Just to take your mind off of the current situation. I’ve been loving reading blogs and watching Youtube more for distraction. It’s been a nice change instead of the news.
