My Natural Birth Story to My 11.5 lb Son

I think it’s important to say that any woman who brings a child into the world is incredible! Whether the delivery be vaginal or cesarean, medicated or not, that woman has sacrificed herself — emotionally and physically — because of the love she has for her child. The main reason why I want to share my…

Why You Should Create a Birth Plan

I am so excited to chat about putting together a Birth Plan. It’s been my favorite thing! As baby’s delivery day approaches, uncertainty settles in stronger. I would imagine it’s not only first-time moms who want to be as prepared as possible, especially since every pregnancy and baby is different. One of the things that…

Pregnancy Update: 38 Weeks

It’s crazy to think that this might be my last baby bump update! At 38 weeks our son is no longer in the preemie stage, so our lovely boy could come literally any day!!! Let’s make this update a good one. The Bump: One thing that I find very funny is when people ask me…

Packing Baby’s Hospital Bag

Happy Tuesday! With the 37 week mark approaching, I thought it was about time to get my hospital bags prepared! There are so many different things to consider when assembling a hospital bag. For example, how big (approximately) will your baby be or what season are you giving birth in? For me, our son is…

Pregnancy Update: 36 Weeks

The last few weeks have been crazy and I didn’t do a 34 week update, but nothing really changed other than the fact that our boy got bigger. However, for the 36 week update, we’ve got more information on baby! The Bump: The third trimester is crazy. Every week the bump grows bigger and bigger….

Best Decision of Pregnancy!!

This entire pregnancy I have been in denial that my tummy was actually getting bigger… which is seriously ridiculous! I mean, it’s comparable to putting a basketball under my shirt. Anyway, I continued to wear my normal clothes for as long as possible. I wear my jeans, leggings, and sweaters so I don’t have to…

Body Image in Pregnancy

Today I want to talk about something that is really hard for me to admit. I want to bring it up because there are probably a lot of pregnant women who have the same thoughts, and I think it’s worth sharing that you’re not alone. Pregnancy is one of the hardest things I’ve gone through,…

Baby Registry – What Products and Why?

Happy Friday!!! One of my favorite things that I have put together this pregnancy is my baby registry. This is my first baby, so naturally I did a lot of research about what products were the best and which I could go without. I have spent months putting together my registry – adding, removing, changing…

Pregnancy Update: 32 Weeks

I have been REALLY bad at documenting my pregnancy journey thus far. I had fully intended to do a bi-weekly report, but here I am at 32 weeks doing my first update! HAHA, fail! Life can get in the way sometimes, but here I am ready to report. I think it’s worth noting that I…
