Has it really been four weeks since Lincoln was born? Spending five days in the hospital and having the days blend into one another for the past couple of weeks have made this time feel like it flew by in an instant. We had a super laid-back weekend. Harper has been under the weather with a little cold and we've been exhausted from a few rough ...

Our Weekend + Halloween!
I guess having a newborn makes you exhausted enough to sleep through even the most intense storms, because Friday night I squeezed in every bit of shut-eye I could between feedings, all while a massive storm passed through our city. Our street flooded twice Saturday, but thankfully both times the water receded. It was all the way up to nearly the ...
Lincoln Grey: Newborn Photos
A couple of months before Lincoln was born, I contacted Ailee from Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic to book her for our newborn and family photos (you can also check out her blog, here). A lot of my friends have used her for photos and I absolutely love her work and how bright, crisp and clean her images are. Lincoln was awake for most of our session ...

Lincoln Grey: A Birth Story
Our son, Lincoln Grey, joined our family unexpectedly on October 10th, just six days before my scheduled C-section, at 38 weeks and three days. Today was his due date! He had been breech for most of my pregnancy and though I was disappointed that my fluid levels weren't high enough for my OB to attempt an external version, I just wanted him to be ...
Baby #2 Essentials with buybuy BABY
When I was pregnant with Harper, I had the nursery decorated, clothes washed and everything perfectly organized awhile before she was born. This time around, things have been quite different since we moved in my third trimester and we've been so focused on getting the house together (don't even ask about the nursery--- thank goodness he will be ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm blogging from my favorite room ever right now--- our playroom. It's also the only room that has a TV right now, so... These next few weekends are kind of nerve-wracking for me. I feel a sense of "this baby could come at any time" which I did not feel at all with Harper. I still have my external version scheduled for tomorrow and ...
The Internet is Back
(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
