The Journey to Baby: Part 2 (Readying Yourself)

It is amazing to me how much changing my own health impacted my ability to conceive. Now, there are a lot of people in great health who still experience infertility struggles, so this is by no means a sure-fire way of getting pregnant. But, I know that it took me a lot of time (and …

The Journey to Baby: Part 1

A couple of months ago, I texted my husband about this post, saying that I wanted to share this part of our journey. He was very encouraging (like he always is!), but I was still not sure if I wanted to. That's because, today, I am wanting to start sharing about the challenges of conceiving. …

We have been so blessed after the birth of our second baby from meals to congrats texts to flowers. The flowers have been a beautiful reminder of how loved this little guy is. So thankful to have these fragrant arrangements brightening up our home!
Too cool for school! This little guy has adjusted to being a big brother so well and he’s especially loving going on fun adventures with his grandparents. • • • How did your older kid(s) manage the transition with a new baby?
Today’s small win? Cleaning this sink. After my first baby, I felt so frustrated by the fact that some days all I did was keep myself fed, the baby alive, and maybe washed a few dishes. My super productive self was not happy with that. This time around, I’m remembering that the taking care of myself and a baby part of that equation is BIG and that anything else I got done was extra. So, today, scrubbing a sink is my extra. And if that’s the only extra I get done today...well, it’s enough.
#Postpartum truths that I either forgot or am learning now: 1. If your bottom doesn’t hurt from the birth itself, it’ll definitely hurt from all the sitting. But, the baby snuggles make it worth it. 2. Lazy (really “Dead”) butt syndrome has never felt more accurate in my life. 3. It’s best to have a plan for how things will go that you are prepared to abandon entirely. 4. The days are long, but they go so very quickly. ❤️ What were your biggest takeaways from the postpartum time?
I’ve been MIA for a bit because we have a new addition to our family who arrived on July 4th! • As I struggled to find something that would fit this morning, I decided to my embrace my postpartum journey. This is 2-days postpartum. Yes, I look 6 months pregnant. Yes, I haven’t showered in a few days. Yes, I’m wearing granny panties. But, wow, my body did something crazy on Thursday! And I’m pretty proud of it.
We tried out a new #recipe for #Vegan Sloppy Joes from @minimalistbaker and it was delicious! Even our toddler liked it. This will definitely become a staple around our house!
