Know what one of my worst fears is? You might think of spiders. Well, yes. I’m terrified of spiders. Or you might think of flying. Yes, that too. I have a really bad fear of flying. But more than that? I’m scared of losing all my photos. I take a lot of them. Sometimes fifty a day! I’ve thought a … ... [Read more...]

In an earlier post I discussed that my anxiety had been growing because Sawyer seemed somewhat “floppy.” This was something that I noticed early on. When I held her at two months I noticed that she had very little head control still. She also wasn’t putting any weight on her legs at all. They were … ... [Read more...]

I love being able to breastfeed my girl. But there is one thing I do not love about it . . . pumping. I really, truly hate it. But as a working mama it is a necessity for me to pump while I am away from her. I am so grateful for my amazing pump. It allows me the chance to provide Sawyer with what … ... [Read more...]

When we came home from the hospital with Sawyer my heart was so happy I felt like it could burst at any moment.

Then when I went to Influence Conference the founders did a presentation on how they started their business. I was pregnant at the time but … ... [Read more...]

Read Part I here When I found out I was pregnant again one of my first thoughts went to the challenges of breastfeeding. I could not get our struggles out of my head. Although I was excited to possibly get another shot at the whole thing I was nervous. I just didn’t know if my heart could go through … ... [Read more...]

I have decided to write out my breastfeeding journey in three parts. That may seem like overkill but really I’m just separating my experiences by my three children. If I wrote about all three experiences it would be novel-length. I really don’t think I would be doing anyone any favors by pretending … ... [Read more...]

I have been terrible about getting my DSLR out to take photos of our girl. With my iPhone always within reach it’s so easy to grab it and take photos with it instead of my nice one. I am so out of practice. But the first year flies by so fast. I knew I had to get it out and start trying to capture … ... [Read more...]

I think everyone who reads this blog or follows me on Facebook and Instagram knew how badly I wanted to go into labor at the end. Once I was considered full-term I immediately started doing all those natural things that are rumored to start up labor. I was ready. So ready for her to come out after … ... [Read more...]
