Tap, tap, tappie…is this thing on? Damn that was a long blogging break! I just finished my last few weeks of maternity leave and I wanted to cherish every moment with little E, which meant very...
UPDATE: Congrats to Erika! I love the idea of making a bouquet for a little girl. I’ll be sending out your $50 giftcard!! So, you know I love a good competition, especially one with a great pri...
I have all these things I need/want to post about. I really want to talk about how our relationship has changed since having a baby, but for now I want to talk about something else. My baby is hard. ...
It seems I don’t have quite as much time to write out a lot about what we have been up to since I have to do it all from my phone, but I have definitely been enjoying instagram (follow me!) so ...
So, remember when I talked about wanting to use cloth diapers? Well, I contacted the person that taught me the most about cloth diapers(Emily from Oh!Apostrophe) before we made any purchases to get h...
Yep, the title says it all. This past weekend we had to take Elliott to the hospital. I’ll start from the beginning. Last Wednesday I noticed some black specks like pepper in her otherwise norm...
Two years ago we laughed: Cried: Kissed: Drank: Danced: And said “I do.” Now as our family is growing, I get to see a brand new side of you and find myself falling in love all over again....
This week I was complaining on twitter about how none of my clothes fit me yet. I had to go to a meeting and I excitedly pulled out my regular clothes, fully expecting them to fit but be a little snu...
I just read a post from Abby of Wife from Scratch about the things she couldn’t survive without during the first 6 weeks of her baby’s life, so I thought I’d follow and do the same ...
So, I know that coconut water is probably old news and I’m super late to jump on this bandwagon. BUT, I was recently able to try an up and coming coconut water flavor and I am in love. Coconu...
Part I So, when we left off it was 9:30 a.m. and my water had just broken. I was so excited! And, if you’re wondering what it feels like to have your water break, basically it’s like yo...
My birth story starts a few weeks before I actually went into labor. See, throughout the whole pregnancy, my doctor kept bringing up the idea of inducing me or scheduling a c-section because of my h...
We survived one week! There were definitely some ups and downs and lots of tears (both mine and the baby’s), but things are definitely getting better. So what have I learned? Well, a lot and...
Well, she’s here! Our sweet little girl, Elliott Paige, was born on Thursday, February 23rd at 9:51 p.m. She weighed 8 pounds, 2.5 ounces and was 21 inches long. We’re learning what sh...
Damn. I’ve been counting down the days, weeks for so long now that I really can’t believe that we are in single digits now. Even my neighbors are counting down with me. I’ve rema...
Phew!! I am almost at the end. I can taste it!! Which is great because my hips, ribs and inner thigh are really starting to get painful. And, of course whenever I bring these things up to my doct...
It has been far too long since I created my inspiration board, so I figured it was time to do the big nursery reveal. In case you forgot the inspiration, here it is: I was hesitant to post it becaus...
Clearly I’m way behind on these updates. Work has been incredibly busy, and by the time I get home I’m so tired of being on the computer that I don’t get to write the updates. But...
When we bought our house almost 3 years ago I was worried about a couple of things. None of them were big things, but it was more about what I would do with the particular space. Well, nearly 3 yea...
I haven’t updated you all about everything during my weekly updates. The one thing I’d been leaving out was baby E’s position. It wasn’t intentional, I just figured it wasn...
So, my baby shower is in a couple of weeks and I could not be more excited. My friend Morgana and I have a shared Pinterest board dedicated to shower ideas and decorations and I know it is going to ...
Like the lamaze class, we also took a breastfeeding class offered by the hospital I will deliver at. If you are in Austin, I HIGHLY recommend it. The nearly 3 hour class was taught by a very energe...
Week 31…so, it was a pretty exciting week in terms of doctor visits. I’m at the point now where I’m seeing my regular doctor every 2 weeks and my high risk doctor every week. So, ...
I debated whether or not to write this post because although I’m registered for and have researched a lot of these products, I haven’t actually used most of them. But, I figured that sin...
I know there are a lot of thoughts about going out on New Year’s Eve. I typically fall into the camp of loving New Year’s Eve, but that’s because since I graduated from college 8 al...
I’m so behind on these baby updates, but I figure if I don’t have anything new to say, then you all probably don’t want to read about how “everything is still the same” ...
I never know what to get people at the office, or who exactly is going to buy for me, and I always want to be sure I have something I can give back to them. So, last year I opted for mugs and hot ch...
I kind of have a lot of random thoughts that wouldn’t be able to encompass an entire blog post on their own, so here are my random thoughts for Wednesday. Christmas Christmas at our house is g...
This past weekend, Sean and I attended a lamaze class offered by the hospital I’ll be delivering at. The five-hour course covered an array of topics including the stages of labor, pain managem...
No, I’m not bilingual, but I do speak another language. See, I grew up in South Texas about 20 minutes away from Mexico. And, my family lived in Mexico for a bit while my dad was taking class...
