‘Twas Two Days After Christmas..

It’s December 27th, two days after Christmas. The floors are littered with new toys, bodies exhausted from celebration and stimulation, now crashing from the sugar high.

I was ready for today to be over about 2 hours after it began. I dropped my oldest off at preschool with the two littlest in tow, they like to come for the drive and I’ve become quite fond of our mornings together. All was going relatively well at first.  It was the pit stop […]

Today as we were engaging in the usual morning chaos, it hit me. My babies are growing up, and FAST. I know, I know, we hear it and say it all the time. How fast it’s going, how much they’ve grown. But today it was really put into perspective for me just how much so, […]

Thursday, December 2nd started out somewhat uneventful. I got up and got ready for my weekly midwife appointment. On the drive I was feeling a ton of pressure and some sporadic, mild, contractions, but nothing strong enough to stop me from going about my day. At the appointment, I jokingly told my midwife, “I’ll probably […]

I’m 38 weeks pregnant. To say that it’s “hitting me” would be an understatement. We’re officially at the point now where I can confidently say, this baby will be here any day now. I know, it may still be 2 weeks or more away. But it also, quite literally, could be tomorrow as well. As […]

Before I dive into my birth plan and the reasons for choosing it, I want to make a couple of things very clear.  I believe all birth is beautiful, valid, and worthy. Medicated, unmedicated, hospital, home, induction, or cesarean- all deserve major credit and praise.  Personally, I have had two hospital births, both times receiving […]

I’m sitting here at my computer, 3:00pm on the dot, November 30th, 2020. Twenty-three minutes away from 1 full year as a mom of two. Things are much calmer this year than they were at this moment 365 days ago. The birthday boy and his older brother are napping, leaving the house unusually quiet. Rather […]
