It is hard to put the experience of laboring a baby into words, and while I am usually not sappy or overly maternal, the experience changed me. It changed my marriage. It changed my body. It changed my entire life. It’s something that was so difficult, but so worth it, and I couldn’t imagine living life not experiencing it. Here goes, here is my birth…
Pregnancy is weird. I wasn’t ever the kind of person who felt like I had maternal instincts, or like my life would revolve around becoming a mom, but I admit I did wonder how my own story would be written, and how I would look with this belly on me. Would we find out we were expecting out of the blue, or would we plan…
It’s OFFICIALLY Halloween week! I pretty much wait for this week for the entire year, and I am so excited it’s here. Who knows where I’ll be (possibly in labor & delivery) but I still took a day to make a costume for Matt, baby and I and I’ll be sharing it soon. The leaves are in full swing, and I’ve been wearing all of…
We usually make a full-day adventure out of getting a pumpkin, but this year we didn’t want to travel too far from home, but we still wanted to soak in some Halloween vibes. We went to this adorable nursery called Dee’s that is local, and we were blown away by A. how fall-inspired everything looked and B. how many fun little kids things they had…
I am not going to lie, I am ready to get this baby out of me! With 25 days left to go, and only 8 days of work left, I am feeling super restless. Part of me wants to stay really busy just to pass the time, and the other part of me just wants to lay around all day like a lump because nothing…
The temperatures are finally low enough for jeans and sweaters, and I could not wait to bust out these insanely comfortable maternity jeans from Tilden. The biggest question I’ve received from all of you guys on IG is which maternity jeans I would recommend, since it’s so hard to find a pair that doesn’t make us feel huge and uncomfortable. I 100% think that buying…
Ever since I picked up this cardigan from UO, I’ve basically had it on repeat with every single outfit. I’ve been thinking of getting it in another color, but there’s so many to choose from that it overwhelms me! haha. So it’s the final countdown – 33 days until baby! I even made a countdown, if you feel like getting amped with me. I…
The countdown is on, with only a few weeks left in this pregnancy I am so excited that we had the chance to sneak away with Jennifer to snap these. My matt is not a big picture guy, he definitely prefers to be behind the lens, but LOOK HOW PHOTOGENIC HE IS! I am sure H will see these and be like “ew mom and…
So yes I live in NY, and no I haven’t mentioned NYFW here. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love following the shows and events from Style.com/other bloggers on Snapchat, but after attending a few times (here and here), I decided it is not my scene at all. I’m not going to lie and say I was invited to incredible shows, and I am SO…
Dear baby, I love you even though you hurt my insides and make it hard to breath. I remember hearing your heartbeat for the first time and crying without even noticing that the tears were streaming down my cheeks. I can’t believe I got to make a person with my person, who I loved from the second I met. I’ve never met you, but…
So wow guys, it’s September and this baby could be here in the next few weeks/next month and I am feeling so many feels. I am going to be taking 5 months off of working at my full-time job, which I am so grateful for, but also frightened of the thought. I love to work, I don’t know what it feels like to not have…
* I teamed up with my friends at Zappos.com to bring you this post! Thanks for supporting my sponsors! I cannot BELIEVE September is around the corner, but I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t excited for the temps to drop. Of course, like every other blogger (and person) out there, I’m excited for the leaves to change, PSL’s, carving pumpkins, etc. but…
It happened – the greatest thing to ever happen to Maternity clothing! Madewell made MATERNITY JEANS, and just in time for the upcoming Fall, when I just so happen to be preggers. Let’s just say I yelped when I found out… and I’m here to give you the scoop on the different styles, and how they fit. The great thing about these jeans are that…
This jumpsuit is everything. It’s chic, comfortable, stylish and best of all, I can still wear it. I wish I could have it in a ton of colors and patterns, because it’s the closest piece to perfection that I’ve found in a while! NYC has been hot, and I can’t lie, I am excited for the temps to drop a bit. 65 degrees sounds…
Chicwish dress (non maternity) | Aysen shoes | Sezane tote For my final flight on an airplane before baby comes, we took a trip to LA/ San Luis Obispo for our friends wedding! Matt and I (and our best friends Alex & Doug) rented a car, and drove upcoast about 2 hours to an airbnb near the wedding. It was amazing to be surrounded by friends,…
There is nothing worse than saying goodbye to your favorite brands during pregnancy (except maybe saying goodbye to high waisted skirts & jeans). But, you guys, I found a loophole! There is, in fact a way to keep wearing your favorite brands while pregnant. ENTER MADEWELL. Seriously, at 6.5 months pregnant, I am still shopping at my favorite store, and feeling a tiny morsel more…
It’s wild how much changes every year (and how quickly the years fly by!) Last year I had a different home, a different job and I had no clue that I would be pregnant this year! But 28 was a wonderful year filled with all extremely positive changes in my life! We finally moved to a home we’re going to stay in for a while,…
I was pretty devastated at the thought of going through a summer being unable to wear my high waisted favorites. That is, until I realized you can still wear a high waist during pregnancy! Of course I had to give up my high waisted jeans and vintage levi’s cut-offs, but high waisted skirts with elastic waistlines are amazing to wear during pregnancy! Here’s a few…
It’s a family tradition of ours to spend some time in Martha’s Vineyard each summer (You can see past posts here, here and here!) I will actually be back all of next week with my parents for the week of my birthday, but here’s some photos from July 4th weekend! Some of our favorite things to do include getting breakfast at The Black Dog, seeing…
There’s two things that never fail to make me smile – going on a bike ride, and eating things with a spoon (like cereal, and yogurt.. and ice cream, of course!) I’ve been thinking a lot about how to try to translate that calm feeling of biking, wind in my hair and grin on my face, into the rest of my existence. I know that…
