finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I knew all along that my baby and I would have birthdays close together. Turns out we’ll celebrate just 3 days apart every year … Miss Jemma on the 2nd and me on the 5th! This year we laid low due to the fact that my milk was coming in (lovely). My family came over […]

Months ago we found this adorable pack ‘n play in Target’s clearance. It’s finally set-up and waiting for a little baby … JUST LIKE US!
Since we don’t know our little one’s gender I’ve been searching for the perfect first outfit. You know, the perfect outfit for baby’s first Facebook photo :) These are the two options I’m leaning towards. What do you think? Left – Kate Quinn OrganicsRight – Hanna Andersson via consignment

Toss out the hyper-happiness, you can’t expect me to be uber-thrilled all the time about this thing called birth and mothering. Yep, 30 Days to Baby is debuting a mound of fear today. I’m not generally a fearful person. Weird since I watch so much 20/20, Dateline and CSI. Those shows should give me mega-nightmares […]
30 Days to Baby … which after my appointment the other day might need to switch to 45 Days to Baby. Chuckle. Laugh. Cry. Pretty soon I’ll be announcing the arrival of my little one. It floors me how fast this little darling has matured from the size of a blueberry to a massive summer watermelon! I […]
These weekly appointments are just crazy. I mean, only so much can happen every 7 days. I pretty much say, “I’m feeling fine; marching on. Nothing too exciting to report.” This week brought some fun updates though … Belly is measuring at 40 weeks – that’s right, my wee one is gonna be a chunker […]
