11 Days and Counting

Via is due in 11 days.  Crazy.  Most babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks, so she could really be born any day now.  Of course, she could also wait to make her debut in another 3.5 weeks or so...Whenever she comes I just pray that she is healthy.  I can't wait to meet this little girl!

Plans are coming together for our move up north. Since we want to buy a house just as soon as we find the right one, we decided to accept the Mederich's generous offer of letting us live with them.  This will allow us to not be locked into a lease which is great.  We can start househunting right away and when we find one that meets our needs we will not have to worry about a lease hanging over our heads.  Please pray that the Lord would give us wisdom in all of these things!

Last Saturday Justin and I participated in a 5k.  I failed to read the fineprint and didn't realize that there was a 1 mile fun walk or a 5k.  Most 5k's I have participated in are run/walk situations, but not this one!  I kind of didn't realize that until the small crowd of walkers all turned around at the half mile point except for me!  At this point I thought, "I'm going to finish what I started."  I ended up walking the 5k in about 52 minutes and came in dead last.  It was pretty funny crossing the finish line because everybody was cheering for the pregnant girl and all the cameras were pointed at the lone finisher.  This Saturday there is another 5k, but this one is definitely a run/walk.  If Via hasn't arrived yet, then I will participate in that one and hopefully not finish dead last.

    Gillian Lawrence Robyn--I've been a bit behind on the blob, but your nursery looks great! I'm glad you're all set and ready for Via. That's the way to be at this point! And what's this about moving up North? Are you headed back to MN??

    Robyn Fisk Mederich Thanks, Gillian! Yes, we are moving up north at the end of November. I was recently promoted to a new position located in Minneapolis/St. Paul. We are so excited! Crazy timing with the new baby, but it will be great to be near family.

    Robyn Fisk Mederich Right now we have a list of about 7 houses and they are located in several different St. Paul neighborhoods. I will work out of a home office and do face-to-face sales calls, so once I start my job and familiarize myself with my territory we will be able to narrow our focus.

Moon Palace Cancun Nizuc - 5 Things I LOVED, and 3 Things I didn't

All-Inclusive vacations may not be everyone's cup of tea, but over the past 6 years I have developed an appreciation (addiction) for taking a vacation where I don't really have to think much.  Between the demands of marriage, parenting, career, housework, and kids activities, it is really nice to pay a sum of money for your vacation and then just......enjoy!  Many all-inclusive resorts include more than just food and beverage.  There is often entertainment, activities, childcare, fitness classes, and plenty to keep you busy without leaving the property or spending additional money.  If you like, you can also book excursions or explore the local area at an extra expense.  We have rarely opted to do anything extra as we are typically happy to take advantage of the included options.   Listen, in my experience, you get what you pay for with, well, almost everything.  And that goes for all-inclusive resorts.  We have gone low-end, mid-range, and h...

Our Creator is not a Careless Mechanic

On Friday, November 2, Justin and I headed to our 41 week and 1 day checkup.  I had been having consistently inconsistent contractions for days, but.......Still.No.Baby.  My doctor wanted to monitor me and Via for half an hour and was looking for us to score 10 out of 10 points.  After half an hour of monitoring us she only found 6 points - also my blood pressure was much higher than it had been during the rest of my pregnancy.  Justin and I listened as she explained that the placenta may not be doing the best job for the baby anymore.  She looked at me and said, "If you were the type of mom that was planning to have an epidural, then I'd say let's go to the hospital, put you on pitocin, and have this baby."  She went on to say that since we favored a drug-free approach we had two options: 1.  Go to the hospital and be monitored for 24 hours to see if we could make up the 4 points we were missing.  If all looked good, then we could go ...

The Grand at Moon Palace - Family Vacation Summer 2022

Ever since the summer of 2017 my husband and I have taken some “adult-only” vacation time away each year. It started with a trip to Italy in celebration of our 10-year wedding anniversary. Then, in 2018, we began taking these “Annual Aways” at all-inclusive resorts. We first stayed at Ocean Maya Royale in 2018, then Único 2087 in 2019, followed by Atelier Playa Mujeres in 2020, and then Le Blanc Los Cabos in 2021. For the three most recent trips we had the good fortune of vacationing with some of our dear friends from Minnesota. It’s such a treat to take these trips with people we love.  During our Le Blanc Los Cabos trip in 2021 Justin and I started talking about how fun it would be to take the kids to an all-inclusive resort and maybe even my parents to thank them for diligently watching our kiddos each time so Justin and I can get away. When we were leaving Le Blanc they offered us a pretty great vacation package at any of their Palace Resorts. We bought two packages on the spot...
