2 & 1/4 of us.

I'm still a calm & zen vacationing kind of Tash these days, the daily grind hasn't gotten to me yet. I know that baby has lots to do with it too, my heart is so full and happy that I guess it will just take a whole lot more than usual to get me down or stressed out. This weekend J was annoyed with the regular stuff like traffic, finding parking at the grocery store, long line-ups at the cash, etc. and I was like his personal little buddha calming him down every time ;) Vacationing J is long gone but it's okay, we balance each other out.

Vacation is the best though and don't we work so hard all year long for these few little weeks of freedom! Our trip to Mexico renewed us and even brought us closer together as a couple. Sitting by the ocean talking about baby, baby names, etc. was pretty special. It was a different kind of trip of course, we didn't care about making new friends or socializing all that much, it was all about the two of us, or rather the 2 and 1/4 of us ;) One night we were walking back to our room from a fabulous dinner and I was saying how beautiful everything was {I must have said that at least twenty times a day} and J said let's take a photo. It was midnight and pitch dark and I had no idea how he was going to pull it off but he came out of our room with the camera, tripod and a flash and took this photo. It's one of my favorites. For us, it has so much meaning. We laughed running back and forth to see how each photo turned out and then I cried when I saw this one because I loved it so much. I cry more these days, i'm a little nutty I guess but it's always happy tears :)

Have a great start to the new week friends! And thank you so much for your lovely comments on our trip!!

  7. That IS a wonderful photo. I love how you describe yourself as his "personal little Buddha:" That's my role around these parts, too!

  9. so beautiful, i love reading this. what an incredible time this is for you. to have that inner bliss, calming knowing growing little one inside you is so very special, i have no doubt that he or she will do the same over and over again in your life time. i understand what you mean about getting closer and special moments with your partner, just today kevin i recounted so many moments we experienced on our hikes and trips. i always find it such a gift when i find myself even more in love and loved after these moments. Love the photoograph of you both and tullum( i seem to have named your baby:))

  11. I can smell very exotic warm wind with fruit trees and amazing flowers. A mysterious southern summer nights, a lot to dream for me through your pictures.

    Sunny morning greetings from Finland.

  14. This is such a lovely post, Tash. It's so great to hear you're so positive and bursting with love. What a great way to be feeling. I loved pregnancy, too. it really calmed me, I felt confident and womanly and really felt a strong sense of purpose.

    and what a profoundly beautiful little moment that picture captures - I love Jodi's thought of that light between you being your bubba. So special. xx

  19. fantastic photo! i just knew this was set up perfectly by J and man did he ever make it magic!!! i think i know another reason for the re-Tash-ed way of life lately, in last weeks meditation with Eckhart he spoke about finding your center. the soul spot that everyone seems to loose touch with most times; it puts everything into perspective and fuels the now. to me, when a baby lives inside you they are completely that way, your energy has shifted along with your little orb angel. it makes me happy to hear your happiness, you make me feel so good Tash!

    let the nesting begin!!!! xoox ♥
