They say time flies by and that they grow up so fast. They’re so right. And this is something I already know! I have another baby after all. It doesn’t matter how many times people tell you or how many times you’ve experienced it already, it’s still shocking how fast they grow. Today my little …

It’s time for another Unbumpdate! These are my postpartum diaries following along the lines of my pregnancy bumpdates.

A Nautical Baby Shower

39 Week Bumpdate
I officially made it to 39 weeks! Only 7 days until my due date and who knows how many days until his birthday. Chloe was born at 39 + 5 and I’d be okay if he follow suit and came a little early like his sister. Overall I’m feeling good. I’m in a good headspace …
An Impromptu Maternity Shoot

World Breastfeeding Week 2018
World Breastfeeding Week is wrapping up tomorrow and I had to take a moment to reflect on the beauty that this week represents. While I’m not actively breastfeeding this particular week, it’s only a matter of days before I am in the throes of the early days of breastfeeding! Not only that, I spend most …
