While we were back on the East Coast visiting family and having Evelyn Baptized we also celebrated her 2 month milestone. I took these pictures while at our family beach house in Maine. Her Stats: Weight: 10 lbs, 8oz Height: 22 3/4 inches (We had her 2month check up a week and a half early because […]
Holy sticker price shock of having a new baby! We’ve been looking at the credit card bill and trying to figure out how to lower our expenses so I know me purchasing a whole new postpartum wardrobe wasn’t going to fly with the husband. Plus, I’m trying to live minimally/green when possible and feeling pretty […]
Today at my Mommy and Me group a fellow mom shared how her son was now sleeping 8pm – 6am. WHAT?! While other moms said they weren’t getting that long of a stretch it seemed almost all of them had already implemented night time routines. I’m still in a daze of on-demand feeding, never knowing […]
We’re currently in a growth spurt fog and I’m trying to hang on to my sanity. Evelyn now weighs 10+ lbs and her 0-3 month clothes are starting to look a little tight. I can’t believe how quickly she’s changing. She’s focusing more on her surroundings, is awake more often and prefers to be held. […]
Today I am 31 years old. I’m so thankful for where I am in life and all the blessings i’ve received. Last year I focused on being kind, slowing down, listening more, cleaning out the “clutter” in my life, getting mentally and physically healthy, and listening to Ted Talks over Talk Shows. This year I […]
I’ve survived my first month of motherhood! My marriage is still intact, laundry and housework is generally caught up on, I manage to shower 3-4x a week and we’re leaving the house now about 2x a week. So basically you can call me supermom. Seriously though, I’m adjusting to this new normal. Definitely mourning life […]
Preface: Is it weird that i’ve been dragging my feet about writing this post? Every day I think about it, that I really need to get writing. I want to do it while the details are still fresh in my mind and I know so many people are curious about my experience. But I think […]
(** I had Tim take these photos and when I saw the back of my hair I asked him why he didn’t tell me to fix it. His response: “I thought it was part of your ‘new mom’ look.” Sigh.) It’s been three weeks and I’m slowly coming out of the fog that is surviving […]
I’m finally starting to settle into life with a newborn. The fog has lifted a little bit, i’ve started figuring out her fussy noises – what’s gas, what means she’s hungry, what means she’s about to have a huge blowout in her diaper. We’ve gotten into a night time eating routine and cluster feeding between […]
Evelyn is 10 days old and time seems to be moving so fast and so slow at the same time. It’s been a whirlwind getting used to life with a newborn, no sleep and a lot of body changes. I wanted to share how we’re doing. Baby: Evelyn is doing great. She’s such a good […]
