Dear Emmaline, Where do I even begin? You’ve always been full of passion unlike anything I’ve ever seen, but these last 6 months have provided time for your personality to develop and it is a force to be recond with. You still feel things deeply, but you also express them boisterously. Thankfully we’ve nailed […]

paisley’s birth story
I had been having off and on contractions for a couple of weeks, and there were a couple of times I thought I was in the beginning stages of labor only to be disappointed when the contractions suddenly stopped. At my 38 week appointment my doctor offered induction, and with my fluid a 7 (5 […]
letters to paisley || 38 weeks in my belly
Dear Paisley, I’ll be honest with you sweet girl – this pregnancy is not what I expected. It was harder, more uncomfortable, and more physically exhausting than your sisters. I found myself getting frustrated sometimes while you were in my tummy. Not at you! I had some unmet expectations for how I thought 2019 […]

Week 36 Symptoms :: I got another fever this week (only went up to 100.2 though and after I took one Tylonal pill it went away) but the majority of the week was a yucky cold full of congestion. I’ve been super tired this week (likely due to being sick) and my body has literally reached […]
aldi baby pouch popsicle recipe
I wish I could take the credit for this genius idea, but I can’t. Julie from the blog Peanut Butter Fingers shared it and after trying it myself, I had to pass it along. We’ve never been baby food pouch people, but I do know a good price when I see one, and Aldi’s pouches […]
bump update :: 35 weeks
Week 35 Symptoms :: I visit the bathroom a lot more because if Paisley even taps my bladder I feel like I’m going to explode. My appetite also comes and goes – sometimes I’m starving and other times I have to force myself to eat. My body feels like it’s completely given up too because I […]
