I don't even know how to start writing this post because my feelings are still so raw and fresh. I'm still in a little bit of shock at what happened over the last couple of days. But more than anything else I'm thankful to be here and that I'm healthy for my children and family. I had an appointment scheduled Wednesday as a postpartum follow-up ...
Pregnancy
Nursing & Pumping Favorites
Over the past couple of months, I've learned that the saying "every baby is different" couldn't be more true. I struggled a lot to nurse Harper and ultimately it was the best decision for us both for me to exclusively pump. It was faster, more efficient and she preferred bottles because her latch was never great. We were both happy! This time ...
Lincoln Grey: Newborn Photos
A couple of months before Lincoln was born, I contacted Ailee from Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic to book her for our newborn and family photos (you can also check out her blog, here). A lot of my friends have used her for photos and I absolutely love her work and how bright, crisp and clean her images are. Lincoln was awake for most of our session ...
Lincoln Grey: A Birth Story
Our son, Lincoln Grey, joined our family unexpectedly on October 10th, just six days before my scheduled C-section, at 38 weeks and three days. Today was his due date! He had been breech for most of my pregnancy and though I was disappointed that my fluid levels weren't high enough for my OB to attempt an external version, I just wanted him to be ...
Baby #2 Essentials with buybuy BABY
When I was pregnant with Harper, I had the nursery decorated, clothes washed and everything perfectly organized awhile before she was born. This time around, things have been quite different since we moved in my third trimester and we've been so focused on getting the house together (don't even ask about the nursery--- thank goodness he will be ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm blogging from my favorite room ever right now--- our playroom. It's also the only room that has a TV right now, so... These next few weekends are kind of nerve-wracking for me. I feel a sense of "this baby could come at any time" which I did not feel at all with Harper. I still have my external version scheduled for tomorrow and ...
The Internet is Back
(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
Our Weekend + Giveaway from Lou Lou & Company
Happy Sunday! This weekend was full of fun- our Saturday started off with Little Gym and then we headed across town to celebrate sweet Caroline's first birthday. As you can see, Harper was a big fan of the cake (and so was I!) Today, we met up with my in-laws for brunch at our favorite crepe spot, Sweet Paris at City Centre. Kevin and I have a ...
StitchFix Maternity: Review #2
My second StitchFix Maternity order came in last week and I'm excited to share with you the items from my fix! First in my package was this beautiful top with lace trim sleeves by Market & Spruce ($58). Not only it is perfect for a growing belly, but it's long, flowy (but not too baggy) and the lace trim is darling. My stylist did a great ...
