Unfortunately, there’s a lot that needs to be done before baby comes. I wish there was a way around it, but babies (as absolutely enjoyable as they are) require a lot of preparation. I know it’s easy to want to “take it easy” during pregnancy, but I would definitely suggest using this time to get…
I didn’t post yesterday. I couldn’t. I needed time to process. I needed time to grieve. I needed to reach out to my loved ones and tell them “I love you.” I needed to hold my baby close as she slept. This is a very dark month for America and the world. First, Iryna Zarutska. …
I feel like there’s a LOT we could buy to survive pregnancy. Teas, chews, and drops; pillows, cushions, braces, and wraps; journals, trackers, and calendars; creams, lotions, oils, balms, and Epsom salts; special bras, socks, shoes, slippers, robes, pajamas, and underwear; supplements, vitamins, and drink mixes; kegel trainers and an exercise ball; heating pads, ice…

Most of my pregnancy symptoms did not present themselves the way I expected them to. Fatigue My very first symptom, about a week into my pregnancy, was EXTREME fatigue. I remember waking up one morning and literally couldn’t get out of bed. I had gotten mono a year prior, and this felt similar, but worse. …
Back when my husband (aka Daddy Bear) and I were dating, we talked about having more kids. He knew that I wanted to be a wife, and mom to lots of littles. He was and is very supportive of this. However, it can be hard for kids to welcome a new sibling…especially in a joint…
Why do we get family photos taken about every 15 months? Family photos are expensive, but I just love to have beautiful, professional shots to hang up in our home. Going every year seems a little too frequent (pricey). However, going every two years seems like we’d miss out on too many growth milestones with…
Wow, you can search social media for years and never run out of ideas on how to tell people you’re pregnant. There are so many ideas…from simple to sweet, and funny to elaborate. After I found out I was pregnant, I knew I couldn’t keep it from my husband (aka Daddy Bear) for too long.…
