It is truly incredible what we go through creating our tiny humans, and every mom's birth experience is so different. After having such a rough experience with Logan (read more about his birth story), I'm so happy I'm able to share about a positive birth experience this time around. As my due date crept closer, our family fell sick, talk about bad timing! Logan caught a cold a week prior, followed by [...]
Eek! I can’t believe baby girl will be here any day now! I’m feeling much more relaxed this time around and happy for her to come whenever she decides. Things are certainly different the second time around and I left my hospital bag packing quite a bit more last minute than I did when I was pregnant with my first. With my first pregnancy, we planned a home [...]
There are some seriously weird pregnancy symptoms that no one talks about. So when you start to experience them you wonder what the heck is going on with your body, only to find out after you speak with your doctor/midwife/mom community that it’s totally normal. I had some very alarming moments during my first pregnancy and I want to save you from those. So get ready for all of the gross and [...]
Motherhood is truly amazing and the most important role you will have in your life. But it’s also not all rainbows and butterflies. It’s really really H A R D, especially during that 4th trimester. Like most first time moms, throughout my pregnancy I did a lot of research about having a healthy pregnancy and about birth, because birth is crazy and the hardest part, right? As difficult as birth is, there’s [...]
Hey! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve posted. These past few weeks have flown right by while I’m being completely immersed in cute little Logan and adjusting to motherhood. Everything has been wonderful. It’s been a bit of an adjustment, sleep hasn’t been the greatest, but it’s true what they say, all of the tough parts melt away when you have those special moments with your child. My favourite part [...]
Your body is going through so many changes throughout pregnancy making it really hard and sometimes quite discouraging to find clothes that not only fit but also make you feel good. At the beginning of the second trimester, I started to get quite discouraged and hated getting dressed in the morning, and it used to be one of my favourite things to do. That’s when I decided to invest in a few [...]
Time has been flying by and I can't believe I'm almost through pregnancy and we get to meet baby Logan any day now! Before life gets too crazy I wanted to take the time to share with you all my Third Trimester Update. Many women say it's one of the hardest trimesters, but I honestly found that my body was getting used to things and all and all it wasn't that bad. [...]
Pregnancy is a crazy weird journey with lots of things going on with the body. I've found it really helpful to see what other women have gone through so I can see what may be in store for me and if I'm normal or not. Although some of these things are kind of embarrassing and TMI I wanted to share it with you so you can see what may happen to you, [...]

Hey guys! As you've noticed I've been a little quiet lately and I wanted to update you with all of the things that have been going on for me, and what's been going on with the blog. About a month ago we learned that I'm pregnant! Although it happened sooner than we were planning we couldn't be more excited with the news. Matt and I suck at keeping a secret and we [...]
