Dear New Mom, Hi. It’s me. A new-ish first time mom to a little boy. Being a new mom is really hard. Which they tell you … they tell you in books, on blogs, in the hospital class. But if you’re anything like me, you figure it’s nothing you can’t handle. And I promise you, […]

Last week on social media, I shared that David has FPIES, which is a food allergy/type of allergic reaction. He cannot eat oats or rice (I can’t either since I’m currently still breastfeeding).

How is it possible our little man is one month old? I can’t believe it! It feels like just yesterday we were working hard in the hospital to bring him into the world. A WHOLE MONTH has passed since then and David? We’re more in love with you than ever! In the last month, this […]

Disclaimer! I’m writing this post just under two weeks before I get to meet my little guy and I don’t know if I’ll get to edit it once he does before I post, so bear with me through the sappy last few weeks of pregnancy hormones! 🙂   When I found out I was pregnant, I immediately […]
