finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I have a little stash of Target gift cards which are burning a hole in my pocket. I desperately want to go crazy getting cute and necessary baby items from our registry. But, alas, I’m trying to hold off. Primary for these pink ruffle butt diapers. If I don’t have a girl these could haunt […]

Can this bump get any bigger? They all tell me it will! OMG
Here’s a little vent on finding a pediatrician …Call me picky, but I really want someone we connect with. I want someone who is interested in my ideas about parenting (delayed vaccines, babywearing, co-sleeping, breastfeeding,etc.). I would like someone who helps to educate me rather than strictly sharing their opinion. I NEED someone who is […]
Dear Little One …You and I went to our 32 week appointment yesterday. Daddy had to work and was very sad he couldn’t join us. He has come to all of our other appointments and always asks such wonderful questions. We are lucky to have him in our family … he takes awesome care of […]

Baby’s Aunt Katie got creative with the camera this weekend. Nothing like a new angle of the bump that is changing our lives.
I just realized I never recapped my last midwife appointment. It was almost two weeks ago and we’re already gearing up for the next one on the 16th. I guess you could say I’m getting a touch busy with all this new mama business. We’ve been quite busy! Take this weekend for example … TWO […]
Have you heard of MealBaby? One of my good friends just had a baby girl and I was invited to bring her a meal through this genius website. Here is the scoop: Are you or someone you know having a baby? Is someone you know recovering from surgery? Are you just a really nice person […]
As promised, my mom and I had a min-photo shoot this past weekend to document the 30 week milestone. I feel like we’ve moved into a new decade! Can you believe there are only 10-ish weeks left until you get to see my baby’s smiling face?!?!? {photo credit} My amazing mother {outfit credit} Summer Tank […]
