Rugby in California!


Oh how I LOVE California!
So my husband has played rugby on and off for most of his life. This is the best opportunity to take part in "poly" type stuff here in the states. There is a club here in Vegas called the Las Vegas Rugby Academy and honestly it was by accident that Nu'u heard about it. We were finishing eating at L&L Hawaiian BBQ when a guy from New Zealand who could tell my husband was from Tonga said something to him about playing. Invited him to talk to someone about it and come down to play.
Nu'u went down one night to check it out. They let him practice with them that night and told him what else he had to do to officially sign up for the club. He signed up and started practicing with them regularly. For the first several weeks though it still wasn't the season for rugby. This week the season started! So they start to play games and tournaments. Both in town and out of town.
Nu'u plays for a team called the Irish. They are a club inside the Las Vegas Rugby Academy. Las weekend they played in town. They had a game set up with a team that never ended up showing. So they played a scrimmage match between the two Irish teams, A and B. This weekend was real exciting! Yesterday we left at 7am to head to sunny and BEAUTIFUL California! We took Kona with us and had a blast! Nu'u ended up playing 2 games. One with both the A and B teams. It was so much fun to go out there and support him and the Irish and to spend the day in the sun! It was a beautiful 80ยบ and felt so nice outside. Although they lost both they're games it was good practice for them and one of the toughest teams they'll ever play. So hopefully when they return to town they will get some wins and continue to improve! All in all it was a great trip and I had an amazing time with my husband!

From day one...my breastfeeding journey!

Image
On Friday: October 10, 2014, I became a mom to the most handsome little brown boy I had ever seen. Since I was adopted, my mom was one of my biggest supporters to the idea of breastfeeding. She never got to experience that and she wanted to make sure I did! It was VERY important to me that I breastfed as it was something I always dreamed of doing. On October 13 (day 4) we visited our pediatrician for the first time. She was my pediatrician as a child and I absolutely love her and recommend her to EVERYONE! While there, she asked me how Charlie was latching and being brand new to this experience, I figured any problems I was having at this point were just as much me as they were him, since we were both learning. At this point I was not having any pain, cracking or bleeding, and I didn't realize that Charlie was not eating well. After I answered her she responded with "I just asked because he's a little tongue tied". I had absolutely no clue what that meant, that it cou

The baby boy's GRAND entrance!

WARNING: There is absolutely NOTHING glamorous about birthing a baby, no matter what the story. So if you are not okay with somewhat graphic terms/explanations I suggest you not read! Nonetheless, this story, like many more, is miraculous and beautiful and something I will treasure forever and ever.  40 weeks came and went faster than I could have imagined. Looking back it was the longest day of my life. But now it seems like forever ago. Yes I spent 26 hours laboring on my DUE DATE! At least most of it. I did not for a minute, of my entire pregnancy, expect this boy to come a minute early or even on time...and I guess after all he was still technically late! Backup: Ever since getting to a point in my life of thinking about having children I decided I wanted to have a very natural labor and delivery. I have a very high pain tolerance and have dealt with "high pain" situations well throughout my life. I also have a very firm belief that everything happens for a rea

Farewell LuLaRoe!

For those of you who don't know, I recently ended my journey as a Retailer for LuLaRoe. I've been thinking up this post for a long time, even before deciding to start my new space for mommas on Instagram! But I'm glad I did, to have an avenue for this entry to be shared!:] I had taken a VERY long break from this blog in light of the time, effort and work I was putting into my LLR business for nearly 2.5 years and I wanted to share with you what I learned during my journey, and also get this blog up and running again! I spent all weekend before "launching" my new Instagram, making over this blog and transitioning it to this new chapter! If you'd like to read my older posts all about my Tongan and I {and a little about our first little} just go back to the timeline between 2013-15! :] LuLaRoe CHANGED my life, for the greatest! If you were looking for another post about all the negative things going around lately, you're in the wrong place! I will forever
