Friday was definitely a day I don’t wish to re-live. The day started out relatively normal with Eli waking up at his usual time of 5 am so I spent about an hour snuggling with him on the couch in hopes he would go back to sleep for me. I managed to about an hour… Continue reading A Day To Not Remember + Fall Fair Fun!
You beautiful, compassionate soul you! I cannot believe I was ever worried or concerned that you would be jealous or envious of the arrival of your new little brother. I actually find it hysterical that my brain would have even considered it as a possibility. You have been such a big helper to me these… Continue reading The Blessing That Is Nate
LOVES to be held 24/7 and sleeps much better when he’s cuddled into someone’s arms. Routinely likes to wake up around 11 pm to party regardless of if he JUST fell asleep shortly before. Still a night owl. He was always super active in the late evening/night when I was pregnant with him and it… Continue reading Eli At One Month Old
Like most young, developing girls in high school I was never comfortable or confident in my own body. I worked out both in and outside of school but because boys can be immature, mean, and in some ways cruel with their words, it all lead to unhealthy thoughts and ideals of what the ‘perfect body’… Continue reading Losing It
It’s been ONE WHOLE MONTH (!!!) since little Eli entered our world! The past month has been wonderfully blissful but also extremely overwhelming. Although I wouldn’t classify myself as a ‘rookie’ mom, I’m definitely finding that I’m still a novice when it comes to newborns. It’s been almost three years since we have had a… Continue reading ONE Month Old!
*I’ve been writing and re-writing this since Eli was about two weeks old! Every time I think it’s finished, I remember a new detail or memory from this day that I want to add in. It’s probably been my longest post to date but for me, it’s important to document every minute detail so when… Continue reading Eli’s Birth
Hello World! I’m here! Kurt and I are so beyond excited to announce the birth of our second little angel, Eli, who was born at 8:19 am on July 21st measuring 21 inches long and weighing 6 lbs and 15 oz. We are so incredibly smitten with him already. He is just a little doll… Continue reading Hello World!
To my sweet, wonderful Natey-Nate, As my due date with your little brother approaches, I’ve found myself reliving your first (almost) three years of life with us. In this short time you have changed me for the better. You’ve taught me how to love unconditionally, what it means to put someone else’s needs before my… Continue reading The Boy Who Made Me a Mom
How much longer? T minus 17 days and counting! Crazy to think that in 17 days I’ll be at my official due date! Where did the last nine months go? Wasn’t Christmas just yesterday? And wasn’t it just a month ago when I was anxiously starring at a white stick on my bathroom floor slowing… Continue reading 37.5 Week Bump Update
