Emmaline’s birth story was so different from Rylie’s birth story, and each hospital stay was different as well. After Emmaline’s rapid entrance into the world, I was quickly reminded the first night of our hospital stay that newborns do not sleep through the night, and despite the seemingly endless amount of energy I seemed to […]

emmaline’s birth story
Back at my 37 week appointment, my doctor asked me if I didn’t have Emmaline by my due date week, if I wanted to just wait it out or if I wanted to be induced. Since I had been induced with Rylie, I knew what to expect, so I said I wanted to just be […]
thankful thursday #14
As I’m sitting here in the hospital staring at our newest addition, all I can really think of is how thankful I am for Emmaline! But in attempts to have some kind of a list for this week’s Thankful Thursday post, there were a few other things that happened this last week that I’m appreciative […]
bump update :: week 39

pregnancy #2 overview
At the end of each trimester with Rylie, I rounded up my favorite pregnancy things and would do a little recap of those weeks (you can check them out if you’d like – 1st trimester, 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester). I decided not to do that this time around, but instead I would do a round […]

bump update :: week 38
Week 38: Symptoms :: Occasional nausea, cramping, some contractions, lower back pain whenever I walk. I also feel like I’m more emotional lately, and I’m not sure if that’s pregnancy related or physical / emotional exhaustion kicking in. Probably both. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Nothing specific. I’ve actually become fairly passive […]
letters to emmaline || 38 weeks in my belly
My active, brave, sweet Emmaline, Can you believe we’re in the final stretch? Less than 2 weeks until we get to meet you in person. It feels like our time together has gone by so quickly and yet it’s been so long at the same time! Daddy and I have been busy getting things […]

our hospital bags (round 2)
I was completely clueless what to pack in my hospital bag as I was preparing for Rylie to come, but thanks to a mix of a paper my hospital gave me, Pinterest, blogs and friends, I threw something together and I feel like we survived our hospital stay splendidly and had most of what we […]
