Straight out of the journal, the words that were on my heart… I love reading through my old journals, seeing what was on my mind certain days and how things have changed since then. 2013 was a year of longing – longing for a baby, for the right career, for my writing to take off. […]
Healing and enjoying my baby days
7 weeks postpartum, and I’m starting to feel like myself again. But not entirely, because I’ll never again be like I once was before having this baby. I just feel like me, but upgraded to the “Mama” version. My days are sweet – filled with cuddles and episodes of Gilmore Girls, where showers are few […]
Cohen Jasper Allen is Here! (…finally.)
He’s here! In the flesh, out of my womb, for real. 
I like him a lot. A whole lot. I have a baby. A beautiful dark-haired baby boy who looks just like his daddy. He’s perfect. I am so in love. I just stare at him all the time. Even during those frustrating, middle […]
Well, it’s here.
My due date has arrived! This is the day that seemed so far off months ago when I saw that positive pregnancy test. And how surreal it is! I’m working on being patient. I know that many women are late with their first babies, so I understand it could be another week until he’s here. […]
I’m gonna be a mother soon
Wow. My due date was three weeks from yesterday. Holy. Cow. It’s gone by so fast! I can’t believe in a matter of a couple of weeks Cohen is going to be here! What’s crazy is to think that it can pretty much happen anytime at this point. Talk about mind boggling. I’ve been spending […]
“Baby, sometimes you just have to cry. Hard.”
I’ve been avoiding writing about this. I’ve been avoiding writing period. It’s hard. My motivation has been gone. All I think about is “baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby”. Then hard stuff happens. Things that break my heart. Things that wear down my soul. There’s good stuff, too. And I try to […]
Life and Baby Ramblings
Baby Baby Baby!! That’s about all that’s on my mind these days. Well, that, and trying to figure out the logistics of our life right now. We have a lot going on and a lot that we have to get figured out in the next month. We have to be out of our house by […]
It’s a BOY!!!
Finally feeling pregnant is so wonderful. It’s all so exciting and new, yet it feels so familiar at the same time. It’s truly magical. I’ve been feeling him move around here and there over the past few weeks. It started as little flutters around week 15, and now I’m feeling kicks pretty much all day […]
Busy Growing A Bitty
I figured it was about due time for a little baby-making update! Things are progressing well growing that little Bitty Bu of ours. Overall, I’ve been feeling GREAT up to the last day or two. I’ve been dealing with a little more nausea and exhaustion the past couple days than normal. I’m sitting here snacking […]
The Stars and The Cards – Part 2
The Cards. Ok, so this is my favorite. Since learning about the cards, I have become a bit obsessed. I’ve seen so many insane correlations and connections between the cards and what’s going on in my life and the lives of those around me. When I say “the cards”, I’m referring to an ancient card […]
