In twelve hours my sweet little baby will be exactly two weeks old. I cannot believe this much time has passed already.
Today was the first day I’ve felt a little stir-crazy. It’s probably because the baby and I stayed in bed until 2:30 this afternoon. She was up most of the night so we get [...]

So. I failed. Kind of. I did my best to post everyday this month and failed. So here’s what I would’ve said for the past few days:
Our baby is amazing. She sleeps well, eats REALLY well (I was anxious about breastfeeding), interacts well with people, likes noise and action and her siblings.
I feel good. I’m [...]

Me, holding a deep-sleeping Nola Jean: “oh my goodness!! She just smiled, really big!! In her sleep!!” Kaitlyn: “What?! REWIND HER FACE.”
So I’m not writing an actual post today. Because I just had a baby and totally forgot about NaBloPoMo. Maybe something more substantial will be here tomorrow.

When I look back at the past 36 hours I sincerely cannot believe what has happened. From 150 Facebook posts and messages to the flood of visitors to the sweet alone time we’ve snuck in as a family…it has been a whirlwind. And it is not over yet although I’ve insisted on some rest for [...]

She’s here. Nola Imogene. 8.2 pounds, 20 inches long, and a nice head full of hair.
At noon sharp our beautiful baby girl arrived through a water birth under the watchful eyes of our amazing midwives and my absolutely wonderful parents.
I am amazed, empowered, in love and exhausted…so the full birth story will come another day.
She [...]

Last Weekend-As-Just-the-Four-of-Us Highlights:
Dinner at Logan’s Saturday night…steak and potatoes did this preggo good. I’m trying to carb-and-protein up to get ready for the birth, when a lot of energy will be required!
Running into Kait at Bridge Street on our way to Orange Tree (that’s TWO highlights in one). Kait is nothing but a big ball [...]

I really love the mail lately.
Etsy packages full of baby fun, awesome custom Colts t-shirts, a Battle Studies album release shirt, thank you notes (one beautifully handmade by my little sister), sweet handwritten baby cards, new books. I really love the mail.
Today we’re 9 days “overdue”. I’ve had lots of contractions but nothing steady yet. [...]

Last night we went to Rosie’s to celebrate Jake’s Big Birthday. I wasn’t going to go since I had a rough afternoon yesterday, but after an evening nap and some stretching I felt better and decided this would be the last time in a long time that I could just GO. Jeff had to shoot [...]

Well, I woke up with morning sickness today.
We found out we were pregnant in February, the day that we returned from a whirlwind (30 hour) trip to NYC. I made french onion soup for dinner and had bought a test when I picked up some gruyère for the soup. I took the test and Jeff [...]

Last night K announced to me that the baby is late because it is a boy. This is a huge development in her world, since she’s been on Team Pink ever since we got pregnant.
I asked what made her reach this decision and she said that he’s “still growing his penis”. Now usually K would [...]
