Spent three magical days with my family at Disneyland and it was everything I could have dreamt of and more!
So beyond thankful we were able to pull this off. We haven’t been to Disneyland in 2 years, which doesn’t seem like a long time but in baby years its a lifetime 🙂
We are not the most familiar with California so everything was so new and exciting! We had a blast and had so many fun unique experiences. We loved taking the boat ferry to Balboa Island , our resort and exploring all the new beaches.
Can’t believe in only a handful of weeks till I meet my baby !

“Sailors Delight”- photos taken + captioned by @dallinnj 😅🤣 while we were laughing of course ☺️ – husband Take over – Couldn’t imagine my life w/o Shannon. When I met her I never wanted to let her go. She’s Witty, spontaneous ,extremely smart and charming. She is always unforgivably herself. A great mom and even better lover and the woman I adore! Here’s to number 10 and a life time of anniversaries.
Had the Mr. take over the gram for a minute. I always love PDA & hearing from him. He doesn’t gram much and he’s a lot more private then I am so it was a fun one for me on our 10 year anniversary.
I love the line where he says “When I met her I never wanted to let her go”. If you know our dating history I would never have guessed this. He told me, all be it known to me at the time. That he was actually scared of me. Go Figure. He also said he was soo set in his ways he needed time to change and to make sure I was “the one” and if he could commit to just one – Valid! The world could use more Dallins- I am selfish for keeping him all too myself lol 😂 jk 😝 We dated through the seasons, and then we dated through another 2 seasons before he admitted out loud he loved me. But once he did it was game on! And it happened fast! We were engaged weeks after that and married weeks after we were engaged. When you know you know.
I am so happy to report some good news! After a scare at Walmart my baby is still A-OK and just like that I am back with my Dr. Mostly because the hospital we were planning on delivering at does not have a high level niccu or the equipment if I were to have a 29+ week old baby. Yes I was freaking out! We decided to switch because my babies health and well-being are my number one concern.
When I was experiencing contractions, I lost my MP and started bleeding randomly in Wal-Mart I text my husband and he was like call original Dr. Im switching insurance Right Now! He was not about to mess around. I am so grateful everything is ok and to be in good hands, between my husband and my original dr. I know these two men truly care about me.
From my archive here are post after post about how stressed out I have been about switching hospitals and drs. Doesn’t life have a funny way of working things out?
After 7 months of worrying about what Dr. I should go to and what hospital I should deliver at and taking tours and trying to being ok with never meeting the same dr twice and not knowing who was going to be on call to deliver me, I guess it all just worked out after all.
I honestly can’t believe I get to deliver in the same hospital and have the same dr deliver my baby who delivered all my other children. I am feeling like everything is right in the world again and thankful baby girl is staying in 🙂
I get butterflies every time I walk by her room. We debated for months on what to do with her nursery and where to put her. I was going to make my office into her nursery, I had put Briton and Brooklyn both there, but I really do need an office so we vitod it. Then one night I was watching Father of the Bride part 2 and during the baby shower scene there they showed the new construction of the nursery “wing”. What if we transformed Hollands playroom into a nursery wing. And so it began.
I started with tearing out the carpet and laying down hardwood floor. Then putting up the wallpaper gifted by Anewall sold at Anthropologie. Delta Children generously gifted her nursery a crib, dresser, rocking chair (I’ll show you once my rug gets in) crib mattress, changing table, changing pad. Minted gifted all her nursery art to come together to make a beautiful room. The only problem was there was no room for her dresser, so what if her dresser is in the hallway lol. I kinda love it because diapers wont be in the same spot as where she sleeps?
Its feeling so real now that she has a room of her own.
