July in Numbers

Compared to the first part of the year July has been a slow month for us. We haven’t moved, Jared’s been working and we have been spending a lot of time at home.

But even though July hasn’t been very busy we have still had some adventures and had fun making memories.

Here is a look at our July in numbers of course!

2 lbs of Blueberries Picked

We started off the month by going to a pick your own farm to pick blueberries. I’m pretty sure we picked the HOTTEST Day possible to go pick berries.

Even though it was crazy hot we had fun and picked 2 lbs of blueberries. You should be impressed we got exactly 2 lbs of berries, we impressed our selves.

The 2 lbs of blueberries worked perfect for our pregnancy letter board update.

1 Day at the Creek

We planned to spend the day at a state park but by 10 am the park had reached capacity so we went exploring. We found an awesome creek that was perfect to play in.

The creek was only about 2 feet deep at the deepest part and we had a lot of fun climbing on rocks and making a path for water between rocks.

2 Ultrasounds

Being pregnant during this pandemic has made this pregnancy very different than my first two. In July we had 2 ultrasounds, one at my doctors office and one with a specialist.

The first ultrasound at my doctors office was because I hadn’t gained enough weight. They wanted to make sure that the baby was still gaining. He is still gaining weight but they were worried about one of the measurements so they sent me to the specialist.

The specialist said that the measurement is barely low and totally still in the normal range. Nothing to worry about and baby is healthy.

4 Weeks Closer to Baby

July brought us 4 weeks closer to meeting our little one. It also brought 4 more pregnancy letter board updates on Instagram.

2 New Magnifying Glasses

The kids had a little magnifying glass they were taking with them every time we went outside so we decided to get them some bigger magnifying glasses. They love there magnifying glasses and looking at everything through them.

A few days after there new magnifying glasses showed up we found ants in the house. Our 5 year old ran to get his magnifying glass and tell us that we needed to learn about ants.

So we learned about ants and spent hours watching them in the house before spraying them. It’s a lot more fun as the parent when you can learn about these insects when they are outside.

964 Photos Taken

This month was a lower month for the number of photos taken and honestly about half of them are of cars (Jared’s Work) and blog stuff.

1 Month in Mediavine

July was my first full month in Mediavine and it’s been so exciting to see this blog growing. Getting into Mediavine was one of my goals for over a year. It took a ton of work to hit that goal and now I’m excited about the new blog goals I have set.

Each of you visiting my blog, reading different posts, and sharing them has helped me be able to hit my goals and keep dreaming of the possibilities with my blog. So thank you, I really appreciate it.
