The days leading up to Spencer’s arrival were very intentionally spent. Plus, my mom was in town (so I have lots of pictures ;P ). So I thought I’d share some of what the days before Spencer looked like and share some last photos of me / the bump. My 38-week doctor’s appointment was pretty […]

new items I bought for baby #4

From the moment we found out we were pregnant with our first, we intentionally kept large baby items (stroller, bath, crib, towels, swaddles, etc.) gender neutral. After having three girls, when we found out baby #4 was a boy, […]
