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…

Missed part 1? You can check it out here. My heart sunk as I anticipated a suggestion that would take me off the path of my birth plan. Fortunately, our nurse was amazing and offered a progressive list of alternatives to a drug intervention. I was so thankful when the nurse handed me an oxygen…

That’s exactly how it went down! The end. Ok, it was slightly different. I still can’t believe I’m writing this story. It’s so surreal to me that it actually happened and I was so present yet totally gone at the same time. So here’s the first part of the birth… and I’m going to lay…

From this to that
Thank you so much for all of the sweet comments on the belly slideshow– it will be a fun thing to look back on. It’s amazing that the belly went from this: to THIS: and mad props to lululemon for stretching with me along the way. Yesterday was my original due date. I…
