Someone is hiccupping inside of me right now. I’m sure that sounds strange to some, but probably super normal/memorable for other mothers. There’s a lot going on in my life and in my body right now, but somehow, by God’s good grace, I am managing just fine. I saw my OBGYN today and found out… Continue reading His Babies
So, it’s been a little while since I’ve sat down to write. I just went back and reread some older posts and had to laugh at the post I made entitled No Hurry, all about how my husband and I were pretty sure we were going to wait a little while before we decided to… Continue reading Expecting
I sat on my couch last night, looking out into my garden, as the sun was setting and my (wonderfully thoughtful) husband was out running errands for me. In front of our living room window is a lilac bush that’s just beginning to bloom. There, I caught a glimpse of one of the buds that… Continue reading Bloom
Before having our daughter, my husband and I would often say that we didn’t know how many kids we’d like to have. Our motto was, “Let’s see how the first one goes.” We always knew we’d like to have more than one, but we are more go-with-the-flow kinda people, leaving up our family’s destiny for… Continue reading No Hurry
First of all, thank you to those of you who took the time to read my (SUPER long) post about my birthing experience. I really appreciated the likes & follows I received afterwards. You’re all strangers to me, as I am writing this blog anonymously for now. I was totally blown away by your interest… Continue reading Update
It feels about time that I write out my story of how my daughter came into the world. Already, just from typing that first sentence, my eyes are welling up with tears. It still feels so raw, emotional, and new, and hard to talk about. Writing about this event is something I’ve wanted to do, well,… Continue reading My Birthing Story
“When I hear you and you’re crying It resonates, dear, In a place I didn’t know was there” – “When I’m With You” by JJ Heller The term “Mom Guilt” is something that is frequently tossed around the internet and social circles these day. It’s usually defined as a feeling of guilt a mom encounters when… Continue reading Guilty
**Just a heads up, this is a very personal post 😉 read at your own discretion. I’m one of those people who likes to know everything, all the details, always, so if you’re like me, go ahead and read on 🙂 My last post was all about the body image struggles I faced after… Continue reading Appreciative
Something weighing on my mind lately is post-baby body image. I read a lot of mom blogs and articles which all expressed how a post-baby body is beautiful, and that stretch marks shouldn’t matter and how a new mom’s body went through so much growing and birthing a baby, and blah, blah, blah. I agree with… Continue reading Body Issues
Welcome! I’m brand new to this whole blog world and just want to say: thanks for dropping by! I’m also a brand new mom. On days when we don’t have doctors appointments, visits with friends and family, or play dates (I’m totally submerged in this mom thing, right?!) you can find me cruising around town,… Continue reading Hey there!
