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…

Everything changed the day I saw those two pink lines.

And yet, for a long time, it felt like nothing had changed at all. Since I still looked more or less the same, and the people I came in contact with every day had no idea that there was a little person growing inside of me, it was easy to forget that it was happening.

Maybe it’s the number of times I’ve moved, but over the years, I’ve found myself becoming more and more minimal. I don’t like having extra, and a clean space with just a couple of high quality, useful, beautiful things makes my heart SO happy. So when I got pregnant, I knew I wanted to keep things minimal and simple…

Now that our little baby girl is here (and has been for over a  month!!) and my pregnancy is officially over, I finally feel ready and able to write about the entirety of my third trimester. In a lot of ways, it feels like forever ago that I was pregnant… but in a lot of other ways, it still catches me off guard sometimes to find myself NOT pregnant.

Today my pregnancy app told me that I’m officially in my third trimester, and even though I knew it was coming, it’s still a bit of a shock. We just have three more months until we meet our little babe, and with every kick and roll I feel it gets a little more real

It’s hard to imagine a world without photographs.

Now days, all we have to do is pull out our phone, click a button, and snap a quick photo of anything we’d like. It’s not uncommon for us to take dozens of photographs every single day of the important moments, the mundane, and everything in-between.

I’ve wanted to do a little “about me” post for those of you who are new and may not know much about me! So when I found Vogue’s 73 questions, I thought that would be a great way for us to get to know each other a little better!
