I know you guys are anxiously waiting for a birth story and lots of photos (right?!), but we're still in recovery mode and soaking up all the newborn snuggles. Join me on Instagram for daily baby updates and I promise to have you all the details on the blog next week! In the meantime, let's take one last look at the baby bump, shall we? One of the things on my to-do list before baby's arrival was to finish up some organizational projects. When we were cleaning and organizing our first floor last month, I moved many plastic tubs filled with photographs and mementos from the last twenty-ish years. Josh & I took a hard look at everything and tried to let as much go as possible, while still maintaining a healthy collection of our favorite things. There was one tub that still gives ...

Here’s another one of those baby centric posts that not everyone will appreciate, but for those of you who are also trying to pack a hospital bag, you need this as much as I would!

Maternity Photos at Our Favorite Place
I have been the absolute worst at sharing in this space since we found out we were expecting. I go through phases where I'm completely on top of things and can churn out four or five posts a week, but other weeks I'm struggling just to put my shoes on in the morning. Maybe it's the heat of summer or maybe it's that all of those first trimester symptoms return at this point in pregnancy, but I am sloooow and hot and tired and swollen and all I can think about is food and clean sheets. We haven't started the nursery yet, I'm in the middle of moving offices at work, and we're getting ready to head out of town for a few days this weekend. I do have lots of fun baby and family content to share, so hopefully I'll have time to edit and upload photos while we're on the road this weekend. Everybody ...

When we had Ella, I knew that we were planning to have more children in the future. Josh and I always wanted a big family and thought we would have at least three children. We often joke about how naïve we were and how funny it is when non-parents make grand statements about what they will or will never do! Not only did we register for every single thing available on the baby market, but we kept all of those things for subsequent children. I had a plastic container for every size that she ever wore and a few more filled with gear ...
