I just wanna share with all of you our wonderful experience with the Woodloch Resort. I must say it is one of the Best Family destination in the East Coast. I usually do not feel that hospitality here in the US in general but this resort is exceptional. They really made us feel at home and we all enjoyed everything here.

This dress is another amazon find and is super comfy. Also our hats are linked here and here.

This is an all inclusive resort so when you book everything is included. Just like when you are in a crew ship. All activities and amenities are free and we were given 3 meal plan for this trip. This was a gifted complimentary stay but all opinions are my own. I was never asked to make a blog post about this but I just really had to share our fun experience. It is really one for the books!

In case you have not noticed been wearing this Shoppinkblush dress so many times. Adi pool slides here are so cute I wanted to get one for myself.

This is really fun friendly resort! Everyday they will give you a sheet on all the activities they are having that day and they have it all for people of all ages. What we tried were, go karts, skating, magic shows, indoor pools, bump car, petting zoo, pony rides, arts and crafts, bump boats,

A whole lot more to offer like zip lining, archery, shooting, batting cages and a lot lake activities too. Check out my highlighted Woodloch Instastory on my Instagram here.

my flip flops here is Tory Burch and super comfy. Sunglasses is Karen Walker.

Amazon Swimsuit is under $25

I will call this lake life!

I can’t wait when baby Andi is born and a little older. We would like to come back here and 3 days and 2 nights is definitely not enough. I hope I was able to give some family fun ideas for you. They are open all year round. You may start this Summer if you live close by. They are located in Pennsylvania and is right next to Long Island, NY. It was 5 hours drive for us from Southern Maryland.

Thank you for stopping by and Happy weekend!

This is the last leg of my pregnancy before we become a party of five and giving you update about this pregnancy. So if you have been following me on instagram. You probably read how my doctor’s appointment went yesterday.

Update: So I went to the doctor 3 weeks and ago and she said the measurement of my belly was small of the age of gestation. She told me that she will order an ultrasound when the measurement of my belly is still small just to make sure baby measures well. And so it was yesterday, I am just worried that baby haven’t positioned herself yet. The doctor also mentioned that it was probably how baby Andi was positioned. She might still be in breech position, hopefully not. I don’t want to get have a c-section delivery.

On a good note, At least I will get to see her again inside me to make sure everything is okay. Also, I passed all the blood work that was taken last week and I do not have a gestational diabetes. They also gave me a vaccine called DTap Vaccine. It is a new thing as I did not get that from my 2 previous pregnancies. Which is something good that I will know will cover baby Andi from whooping cough. They encourage everybody who will be around the baby to get the vaccine so it means the whole family.

Another positive note, even though my tummy is getting bigger and heavier and it really is a hard time to position myself sleeping at night and getting up to go use the bathroom. I know I am only 3 and half months to go and we’ll get to see our third bundle of joy.

As for this dress, I have been loving a lot of Yumi Kim’s dresses. They are so chic and comfy specially for maternity. I so love all her collections as you can see me wearing a lot of her creations lately. It makes me feel good as we all know that being pregnant can be difficult sometimes as there are a lot of changes happening in a woman’s body.

Until the next update. Once I get my results back, I’d be happy to share it again with all of you. Thank you so much for passing by and see you again next time.

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday! Just sharing some maternity update on you guys that I think you might find helpful if you are experiencing the same thing.

Last week I went to my doctor’s appointment and she did the usual, checked the heartbeat and the movement of baby Andi. They were all good except for the measurement of my belly which she thought was small for its age of gestation. She literally triple checked it and said that if the measurement on my next visit was still small she has to do another ultrasound and see what is going on. That really scared me and I did share the news to my co worker. She told me it was the same thing for here because her baby was breech.

That it ringed a bell, because when we did the anatomy scan ultrasound, baby Andi was breech. So it seems like she hasn’t turned yet. My daughter Adi(my first born was the same but she turned so both my first 2 babies were both vaginal deliveries. And as I was reading about breech delivery, it has to be c-section if the baby is in breech position.

So then I googled it more and found some exercises to do to make the baby turn and hopefully it works, There are some bridging exercise and cat and camel positions that I can do at least 15 mins a day.

So i will let you all know when I get to see the doctor by the end of this month. Also I am due for the glucose screening next week and hopefully I did not acquire a gestational diabetes. I really have to be very fit so It will be as easy as when I gave birth with Aidan. I was really exercising then and walking a lot. It really made a difference.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and please do share this post if you find this helpful to other pregnant ladies you know.

Here comes Mother’s Day this weekend and a lot of people have been saying it is another expensive Holiday because you have to give gift. But to me, if a person is that special to you, you really do not care about it that much. There is also a time when you are tight in budget so here are some special way to celebrate Mother’s Day for mom.

1. Cook your mom’s favorite dish and eat with her. Now a days, a lot of people rarely hang out with their mother’s that much special when you start working. This is a gift of giving time and effort.
2. If your mom loves to workout. Go with her and join her doing her workout routine. Working out is so fun specially when you are with someone special.
3. If you know how to do arts and crafts. Most of the treasures in life cannot be bought like making her a bracelet. Check out what my Adi made for me for Mother’s day on my IG story.
4. Frame your most treasured photos together and give it to here. She will definitely be touched by it.
5. Give her a hand massage as most moms are always tired doing a lot of different things in and out of the house.
6. If you know how to draw, make a sketch of your mom and frame it.

I used to do a lot of this specially when I was younger. When I did not have money of my own. But I can really see how much they appreciate those gifts because it came from the heart and they know how much time and effort you invested creating those special gifts.

As a mom now, What melts my heart are those small things my children do for me like. When they know I am tired and they give me a minute of foot massage. Giving me flowers that they picked from the Garden. Preparing a glass of water at bedside because they Know I need it.

Simple gestures that as a mom, You will always treasure it forever in your heart. so don’t feel bad if you cannot afford to buy mom gifts. More so when you are capable of buying expensive gifts but is willing to give more of your time and effort to make your mom feel special on this Mother’s Day.

Do you have any other Mother’s Day ideas I haven’t mention as I would love to hear from you guys.

Thank you so much for stopping by and may all of you celebrating have a wonderful day! Enjoy this Mother’s Day weekend!

Simply,

Christianne
