Learning how your new baby sleeps (or doesn’t sleep) is one of the trickiest things for me. Hallen was just easy. She napped well and slept well at night since day one. Hazel is also a great sleeper at night, but getting her to sleep for naps is a lot more difficult. Day one of bringing her home from the hospital, we’ve used one swaddle and one swaddle only. It’s such a great one! The Love To Dream swaddle is seriously a life saver. We use it both for naps and night time. Hazel already understands that…
Nine days into this having-two-children-to-raise-now thing, and I feel like it’s going pretty well! I mean, I haven’t been alone with both of them for more than a couple hours, but all in all, I’m loving having two little girls to call ours. Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it takes a lot of prep to get out the door. Yes, there’s a lot of crying from Hallen when I can’t hold her. But, we’re still in the adjustment phase. I feel so blessed to have another pretty chill infant…
The past five days have been been a new change of pace and a new type of love I always knew I wanted, but hadn’t experienced before! I’ve known since I was probably five years old that I wanted lots of babies, and that my calling was to be a mother. And here I sit five days after bringing our second daughter into this crazy world, and I know we still aren’t finished. Little Hazel has filled our hearts with more love than I thought was possible, and makes Kevin and I even more excited to have…
When you’re waiting on you’re baby to be born (who should have been here by now if she was on Hallen’s schedule), you go anywhere and everywhere to distract yourself! So, for me that’s usually shopping or walking around downtown. This outfit from Ingrid and Isabel is perfect for just going out and about, but feeling cute still (and not like a whale at 9 months). And I know I don’t look that big…everyone tells me I’m still so small, BUT it doesn’t change the fact that I feel like I have…

I don’t know what your plans for Valentine’s Day are, but if you’re a parent and 9 months pregnant with an awful cold, I’ll tell you what mine is going to consist of:A four course meal with salad, soup, then a shot of Robitussin, and some break and bake Valentine’s cookies I make with Hallen. We’ll then follow up our sexy meal with some Netflix and a box of tissues (for blowing my nose or wiping my tears if we watch “This is Us). Ha! Oh! And hoping I go into labor of…
Do you feel like the last month of your pregnancy was more like another trimester? That’s how I’m feeling right now! I feel like I’ve been 37 weeks pregnant since Thanksgiving! And I’ve been walking and squatting so much that my knees, hips, and back have become the equivalent of a 90 year old’s, I’m sure.I can always count on Pink Blush Maternity to make me feel not 90, though! I figured this would be a great postpartum/nursing dress as well. I love it! And it’d been great for our 75…
There are some things I wish I would have heard about and started using right as I found out I was pregnant. The products from Premama are some of those things! I’ve been loving my daily routine with these added in there. And the Essentials drink mix would have been amazing for the first trimester bouts of nausea.I mix the little packet with either orange juice or a smoothie in the mornings. There’s no funny flavor or texture from it at all. Just an added boost for me and the babe.Ive also been taking their Digestive…
