Motherhood, right? So glamorous, so easy, so predictable, so within our control. Not. 😂 But also: so rewarding, so hilarious, so joy filled, so much love. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, even on the hardest days, even in the toughest pregnancies. Glad to get to celebrate today and glad be a mom.

This is FULL TERM. I can hardly believe it but I am so grateful. Made it. 🎉

A clean house, fresh flowers, and surprise iced coffees delivered from friends, because it’s always the little things that are the big things, you know?

Nursery status: complete. 🎉 Full reveal on the blog and I will share a video walk through in stories. We maximized a tiny space! Love how it turned out.

Fun giveaway today for one of my favorites, a pair of @beekbytwobirds sandals! Ethically made and perfect for spring. Just follow both accounts and tag some friends in separate comments to enter. Winner announced Friday. ✨

Weekend project: nest nest nest. 😍

We have a crib. 🎉 And I am officially a mini crib convert. We needed the tiniest one we could find to fit in our 9x9’ nursery, which doubles as our laundry room. As a bonus the crib converts to a standard size later on and eventual toddler bed, but for now I’m enjoying maximizing every square inch of this space. Perfect for welcoming a tiny babe. Getting more and more real! Shared in partnership with @buybuybaby. #ad

Happy Easter! When I saw this holiday on the calendar last month I didn’t know if I would make it here still pregnant. Here we are, and the combination of that and this day feels like all the redemption we could ever ask for. Happy Easter indeed. 🐣

I had a grocery story clerk say to me this week, “Wow, you look like you’re ready to pop!” To which I responded, “Thank you!” enthusiastically and wholeheartedly. She looked at me confused. The five seconds were too short to explain all about the preterm labor, the hospital visits, the thought that I would never make it to 34 weeks let alone look “ready to pop” in this pregnancy. It was all I dreamed of hearing at 28 weeks in the ambulance. And here I am, still standing, buying groceries, pregnant at 34 weeks and looking like a healthy, normal, pregnant person. My perspective, along with nearly everything else, has changed. What a compliment, looking so full term. I’ll take it, every time. ✨
