The group is very similar to our care in Tucson while I was pregnant with Liv. There are multiple midwives in the practice, and…

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Granola

 You guyyysssssss. Behold the latest snack obsession.  I was trying to think of another breakfast option that I could make in advance, since eggs donโ€™t travel too well and Iโ€™ve been wanting to switch it up from the usual breakfast cookies and cookie dough cereal. Granola instantly came to mind, as itโ€™s one of my…

Doula, round two-la

(I couldnโ€™t help myself.) As I mentioned before, itโ€™s been nicer to go into this pregnancy with a more relaxed and trusting mindset. As I think itโ€™s expected with first-time moms, during my pregnancy with Liv, I couldnโ€™t read fast enough. I happily swam in pregnancy books, could easily tell you which fruit or vegetable…
