Almost Friday... Wonder if I get to do things or just be gone from everything (✿◡‿◡)

[duchessmella]

I hope you get to do things!

[duchessmella]

I think I found my new favorite hobbies while being on the shelf. I discovered that I love diamond painting and scrapbooking. They seem to help a lot with stress, too. So I highly recommend!

[duchessmella]

( I figured I would share some of the photos we got from SD last night! I'm actually impressed at how well they turned out lmao. )

[mcrcedesvold-deactivated2024011]

they make everything bagel bars now and it’s life changing. 

[duchessmella]

Do they really?! I have to get myself some!

[rxlehugger]

Those are some of the best kinds of bagels though! Toasted too? Ugh, yesss.

[duchessmella]

They really are. I made it into a giant sandwich and loved it so much. But now we're out of bagels, again.

[rclemodels]

That actually sounds really good, hold on. What kind of cream cheese?

[duchessmella]

I actually didn't use cream cheese! I made it into a sandwich. It was so good. But when I don't, I love using herb & garlic cream cheese.

I can't wait to meet him either, anytime you need a babysitter for date night or a little break don't forget to hit up auntie gia 🫶 because i love babies more than anything!

[duchessmella]

I will for sure hit you up at some point so Matt and I can have a date night! It would probably be when we don't have all of the kids under one roof. I love them but it can get hectic. They're all creeping towards the teenager and pre-teen stages. We just finished up the nursery too! I am scared people will call me a "sad beige mom" but I found the cool neutral colors cute.

[duchessmella]

Today feels like a good day! And s'mores have been on my mind since I woke up. Anyone else love them?

[duchessmella]

not bad, huh? talk to y’all in a bit!

[duchessmella]

( sorry i’m lacking a little! yesterday i had my first 1-on-1 with a therapist and now i’m starting two different courses to help me. but now i’m on my way to toronto to see SD tonight! we’re on the floor and i had to wear heels cause i’m short and won’t be able to see when people stand 😂 have a nice day y’all)

[duchessmella]

Every single day I crave a toasted everything bagel yet I regret nothing.

[gonzalz]

Ahhhh that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard of! But I’ll most definitely be writing him a long letter to realize how much little man is loved!

[duchessmella]

I appreciated it so much! everyone wrote him such sweet and funny things. He truly is loved so much already. I cannot wait for everyone to meet him.

[itsyazmin]

Honestly? I’ve never heard of this and I absolutely love it. I just got here and can I say…you guys did an AMAZING job. 😍 I love this set up! This sweet big is definitely going to be loved by so many.

And I can imagine after having him, there’s not too much time to have for yourself — so I got you a spa gift certificate to use whenever!

[duchessmella]

Thank you! I'm so glad everyone seemed to love the set-up. We had a few different ideas in mind but the Bear theme really just won me and Matt over, especially Matt. I don't think I've seen him in a "I want it, and I'm gonna have it" phase until now. But I'm glad he cared to put so much thought into it as well. I am actually so excited to use the gift card! I am for sure going to be taking full advantage as soon as I can. I am looking forward to the first spa day after pregnancy. It's going to feel so rewarding.

[duchessmella]

( friday got me nervous y'all. i'm gonna be at smackdown, but last year when the show went off the air, edge said he wanted to retire next year at home on his terms. idk if he changed his mind but i'm preparing myself for when he's done wrestling sheamus. )

[duchessmella]

Starting bubs nursery! Thank you to everyone who showed up for us yesterday. We love and appreciate every single one of you — and it warms my heart to know how much my boy is already loved. I am planning on putting some of the decor gifts he got in here too! The room will truly be made with love by everyone that loves him.

[l3cky13]

Oh, it’ll absolutely be one of them. Probably Cash or Lola, if we’re placing bets. Oh, good! I thought you had, but I wasn’t entirely sure 😂 As long as people are enjoying them, that’s all that matters.

[duchessmella]

Well, look at that, babe, nothing was broken! I was placing my bet on Cash, honestly. He can be a little more clumsy but Lola isn't too far behind. Love them to the moon and back though, of course! I'm so happy everyone loved it. I was so nervous about it not turning out.

[chokerslayer-deactivated2024082]

ah! congratulations @l3cky13 @duchessmella i'm so sorry i couldn't make it, but i promise when i can i will make it up to you both! maybe a double date in the near future?? i hope you enjoy the gift basket from the friedmans.<3 that baby boy is going to be so spoiled! it's truly a miracle.

[duchessmella]

Thank yo so much! You are forgiven, of course. I don't appreciate you any less, girly! A double-date in the future is something I wouldn't be opposed to! It's been such a long time since we did a double-date with anyone, actually. We really appreciated the gift basket! And we're even more excited for you all to meet him when he's earth bound.
