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 […]
Hi Mommas & Mommas-To-Be, Thank you to everyone for the kind words and support as I transitioned back to work. I surprisingly haven’t cried at the office. I’ve been able to FaceTime Evelyn a few times during the day and since she isn’t sleep trained yet I still had several hours to cuddle her once […]
Well Evelyn’s first Christmas didn’t go as planned. I was looking forward to my parents visiting, getting the last few days of being able to sneak in some naps and extra sleep before I headed back to work full time. We had plans for a few overnights in Santa Ynez for wine tasting and visiting […]
