While this is absolutely a food blog and not a baby and breastfeeding blog, I feel like I would be doing a huge disservice to women everywhere if I did not write this post. I hope to use this platform to reach as many people as possible about this topic because I feel it is [...]
pregnancy
This is a continuation of our sweet baby boy's birth story. Start here if you missed Part 1. The period between 7:00 p.m. and midnight is when I truly began to experience what Pitocin-induced contractions are like. They come fast, hard, and with little breaks in between. At one point I was timing them as [...]
This is the story of our sweet baby BOY's birth. I have split it into two parts for the sake of not bombarding you with a lengthy post. Jeremy and I have decided together to not share pictures with his face or share his name to protect his privacy. From here on out, I'll be [...]
All of my previous pregnancy update posts covered four-week time spans. But now that things are getting down to the wire (hello, 40 weeks), I figured I had better pop back in for one last update. I'm not going to lie, I sort of hoped I wouldn't get to this post. But here we are [...]
As I sat down to write this update post, I got to thinking that this could legitimately be the last update post I write. Crazy, right? The 38 week mark hit last Thursday, so I am actually 38 weeks and four days today. It is so weird to think that baby could come TODAY, or [...]
These weeks of pregnancy are just a flyin' by! How in the world we are already to the end of the third trimester sure beats me. But I'll take it! My food aversions and cravings have changed quite a bit over the past 37ish weeks. And as a result, my days of eats have been [...]
Our Gender Neutral Nursery Tour Happy Monday to you! I am three days away from 37 weeks, or "early full term." And now that it is really feeling like crunch time, I am so relieved that baby's nursery is all put together... or at least enough to share all of the deets with you! Since [...]
We are getting so close and yet it still feels like it is so far away! I have to say that the planner in me does not love not knowing when baby will arrive. But I guess that just adds to the fun of pregnancy <-- I'm being slightly facetious here. Regardless, the countdown is on! This [...]
Today officially marks 32 weeks into this pregnancy, and I feel like time is moving by slowly and quickly all at the same time. We still have quite a few house projects to accomplish, and I need to finish decorating the nursery. So I'm thinking we need at least another month before I will feel really [...]
Hello, 30 weeks! We have reached the 30's and the third trimester, which makes everything feel even more real. I have to say that it is weird to think about when baby will come. I know realistically that a lot of people go past their due date, but I have seen so many first-time mothers lately who have [...]
