Annnddd she’s off! Home girl isn’t fast, but she’s determined and scooting herself all over the house now. Guess it’s time to start baby proofing, huh? Any suggestions - I have no idea where to start! (Except outlet covers and getting those cords for the blinds out of the way... promise I’m doing those things ASAP!)
I usually like my posts to be long and meaningful, but this one isn’t. This one is just to share this stunning embossed album and put some heart eye emojis in the caption. :) 😍😍😍😍😍
The newborn stage is so so sweet. For me, it simultaneously felt like a lifetime and was gone before I could blink. I remember hitting two months, realizing M was no longer a newborn, and going through a period of mourning that we were already past that stage. But of course, we’ve loved every stage since, and there are still days when I look at her little face and am still able to see that tiny little fresh baby in there. Parenthood is such a wild, beautiful ride.
I have seriously gotten out of the habit of posting on Instagram lately. 🙈 So tell me, friends, what’s cool these days? Are you still scrolling through your feeds (likely since you’re seeing this!) or do you spend most of your time in stories? What do you expect to see in your feed vs stories? When following an account like mine, do you prefer to see more professional portfolio work or more behind the scenes life stuff? Honestly, the only reason I have an account on here is for you guys (if I didn’t own a business, I 100% wouldn’t be on social media), so I want to put my effort where you are most interested and be sure you care about the things I’m posting! Thanks, friends!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads today, but especially this one. He’s the best dad ever for our little babe, and I’m amazed every day at how natural becoming a father has been to him. I chose well. :) . . I know we talk a lot about motherhood around here, but there’s something so special about the bond between a daddy and his babies. They’re kind of amazing. ❤️ . . PS- how was Meredith ever so small!? 😭
Alright, ya'll. I wrote this about a month after Meredith was born, but I've put off sharing it this long because it just felt too personal. Too real. Too intense. When I was pregnant, I read exactly one million birth stories (give or take ;)). I refused to read anything that wasn’t positive, because I didn’t want to fill my brain with the thousands of scenarios that could go wrong. So, for a long time, I hesitated to share my birth story, because it’s not exactly positive. But, I asked you guys if you were interested, and I got SO many messages saying yes. And SO many of you shared that you had a very similar experience. In fact, I’d say the majority of the people I chatted with that day had an experience that they’d classify as traumatic. I learned I was very much not alone in my experience, and that’s why I decided to share. Maybe you’re pregnant and looking for comfort in the experience of others, and I’m here to tell you this: It may not go the way you hoped for. It may end up being the complete opposite. But you’re going to be okay. No matter what happens, if you end up with a healthy babe at the end of the day, it’ll be a million percent worth it. Yes, you may grieve for a while. Yes, it may be months before you can talk about it without bursting into tears. And yes, there may be moments you won’t get to experience that you’ll mourn for the rest of your life. But know that you’re not alone, and you’re so so so strong because you grew and gave birth to an entire human being. No matter how it ended up happening. (Link in bio) #ipreview via @preview.app
