You may have been wondering...

It's September!! Most of the country is now gearing up for autumn to arrive, bringing with it the chilly nights, colorful trees, and a change in wardrobes. Here in Orlando however, we’re getting ready for comfortable weather again! I’ve been told that the best time to live in Orlando is October – March so I’m getting excited to experience that for the first time! August has been a super humid month with all the hurricane activity nearby AND we even got 7 inches of rain – that’s more than it rains yearly in Mesa! I’m excited to experience this fall and winter in Orlando, but sadly my UGG boots, gloves, scarves, and Pea Coats won’t be a part of it.

Anyways, I’m realizing that this past month was way more boring than May, June and July had been. Back then our blog was pretty exciting with a new trip each week! During August I didn’t even leave the state, and I only spent one night away from home, (in July I only spent 10 nights at home). For the past few weeks, Tyler has been spending his time working locally in Orlando, and has taken day trips to Tampa, Gainesville, and Clearwater. But other than that we’ve just been here at home (with a few trips to Disney of course)!

Also, I still don’t have a job so, “WHAT has Rachel been doing,” you may ask??

Well mostly I’ve been reading this …









It's true, I'm pregnant!!!

I’m due the end of March, so we’ve still got a while to wait, but we’re really excited and the timing is perfect! Tyler is going to be a great dad and it's been fun to see him so excited. I’m now entering my 11th week of pregnancy and I’m really excited to get out of the first trimester…


Here is a picture of the little seed taken a couple weeks ago.

Here comes the "From Tyler" section...

I couldn't be more excited!! It's so amazing to see that little picture above.. So much fun at this point in our lives! Rach has been so great! I love her so much - and it's crazy to realize there are now 2 heartbeats in her body! The reality is that our life as the Jennings Family will now be changing dramatically - no more trips on a whim, or date nights every other night - but I'm so ready to be a Dad!

Yeah! We are really excited for you. Blake was born in March and I personally think it is the best time of year to have a baby. I have 4 weeks left! I sure hope you don't get swollen like I have this time around...it's definitely a new experience. I'm not liking it.

Rachel, I am so excited for you and Tyler! You are going to be a great mom.

And, Tyler, yes, you will not be able to travel on a whim anymore. But, honestly, nothing is better than being a parent. Having a child to nuture, to teach, and to love: really what more do you need?

Hey Rachel congratulation! I've been following your blog for a while now. You guys sure do lead exciting lives, and they are about to get even more exciting. Good to see you and your hubby are so happy. Again, congrats on the pregnancy!

Congrats you guys! So Rach are you past the sick part?? I hope so. Ugh with Lucy I didn't get over it though until like 16 or 17 weeks and even after that I still had occasional heaving. How are you feeling? Enjoy this pregnancy! You'll never have another so distraction free! Good distractions though:)
