Sydney Cummings Houdyshell

🩵 Our last trip as a family of 3 😭 Ever have a trip that feels spiritual? I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like this trip was confirmation from Ari that Dustin and I have done well as his mom and dad for almost 3 years and he has faith in our ability to grow as a family still full of love for each other and his new baby brother, Yellow. I caught him so many times just looking into my eyes and giving me kisses on the cheek - I swear he was reassuring me that 1) We can handle another boy like him (lol) and 2) the last 3 years of our lives were everything he needed and more. Blame the pregnancy hormones but I’ve cried about this a few times since getting home! I feel like this little man saw our souls full of worry on how to love another as much as him and he held our faces and said, “trust me, he will feel all the love you’ve given me and together we will expand to love more!”

From the sunshine and slow mornings to the afternoon naps and full hearts at night, this trip reminded us of the deep love and connection we’ve built as a family. This was always a dream of mine when finding out I was pregnant; love and joy that is honest, unconditional, and a family that wants to be together because of the respect and trust they have in each other.

Watching Ari grow into the boy he is today has been the greatest gift of our lives. He is kind, smart, curious, joyful, and full of light. Every hug, every laugh, every time he reached for our hands this weekend felt like his way of saying, “You’re doing great, Mom and Dad.”

And while there’s some fear in wondering how we’ll ever love another baby as much as we love him, this trip reminded us how much we’ve grown with/for him and we will do it again because love multiplies, and this little boy has taught us how to love—big, fierce, and endlessly.

Ari is going to be the best big brother, and we are forever grateful to him for making us the parents we are today and the parents we will be to baby #2. 💙

I remember that feeling, wondering how I’d ever love another baby as much as the one I had, and then I went on to have three more and each time you love them each so intensely and unconditionally. Congratulations! Being a mom is the best.

Oof this made me a bit teary! I remember going through the same emotions before my 2nd baby arrived, it's only natural, you have given him everything for 3 years, he is your world but I promise it only gets better. Watching your children bond, laughing at each other, playing, and yes arguing but figuring it out, is the biggest joy of my life. Our love for our children is endless, I wish you all the best as your family grows x

Ngl sometimes i have to tell myself “if she can do it PREGNANT, i can do it without a human growing inside me” and thats the best way to keep it moving. You honestly are inspiring and im so glad my coworkers were doing your monthly squat challenge at work. It gave me a real reason to exercise without going to the gym (which i hate). Congrats on the 2nd and I wish u the best delivery possible! 🥰

A whole new love is around the corner. You'll have an infant again and a big boy as your forever 1st born. It's funny how you forget just how small a newborn is after having a toddler and thinking they were the small one. Congrats and best of luck to you all.

Omg, you made me cry. Nothing better than being a boy mama! Just remember, one blink and they will be 17 and have a beard like mine does. It is a crazy day when they get taller than you. Wishing you and yours so much luck and ❤️ !
