Bella says “good morning!” – she seems to be the only one with extra spunk today. We’ve been waiting until late morning to come downstairs and start the day. As good as it feels, I think by next week when the Pilot goes back to work I’ll be ready to get going a little earlier.…

It’s not delivery…. it’s dinner, courtesy of my friend Kelly 🙂 She and her baby came over to chill for a while, and brought the Pilot and myself some dinner. Gluten-free pizza with peppers, basil, and Daiya (the Pilot’s had reg cheese and pepperoni on there- Kelly and her pilot eat almost exactly the same…

I’m putting together a Family post together on post-delivery body, and in the meantime wanted to bring you a very special post from my friend Emily. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Emily before, and she’s just as amazing as you’d imagine from reading her blog. She has been a great resource for…

Per your requests…. 7 inches, NBD. I’m actually wearing them right now! Ok, not quite, but moccasins are close 😉 Speaking of pink and sassy, someone got a haircut today: So fresh and clean, and she smells like flowers. Keeping up with the theme of the past week and a half, we laid low…
Read More →Adventures in breastfeeding
I can always count on my good friend Jeni for advice. When I first got pregnant, she told me that I would be tempted to learn and read as much as I could about pregnancy and childbirth, but to definitely take the time to learn about baby care and breastfeeding, because breastfeeding is tough work.…

Quitting the gym
It’s a gorgeous day over here <3 I’m still wondering if we’ll ever get a real winter. If not, fine by me… Last night’s baby meal (and cake!!!) were fantastic… Kyle and Meg came over to enjoy the goods with us, and the shrimp curry was incredible. Giant chunks of potatoes and jalapenos- I’ll have…

Hi everybody. I hope you guys are doing well. As you probably know, Gina’s pretty busy these days, so when I offered to write a post about my perspective on the great day o’birthing, she didn’t argue too much. Well, it was a hell of ride from where I was sitting and I wasn’t even…

A chef in the kitchen
A cloudy day: Perfect for morning tea and chocolate and there’s a chef in the kitchen making breakfast…. I’m a fan of that. Kyle accidentally went in to work too early, so he came to chill over here for a while. For breakfast, he made parfaits with gf granola, blackberries, bananas, blueberries and goat’s…
Read More →1/14: Thoughts from the week
My induction was scheduled for yesterday. Watching it pop up on the iPhone calendar blew my mind because I’m a mom already –that still sounds so weird to say/think- to such a sweet baby, who is already almost a week old. Breastfeeding is no joke. I have transformed into a 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffet –my friend…

Hey guys! Tonight’s guest post is a very special one, since it’s something that we were wondering about with our own family: introducing a pet to a baby. (Bell comforted me while I was in labor at home.. I wanted to take her to the hospital with us) Bella has always been the baby in…
