Now that I’ve gone through two pregnancies in two years I thought it might be fun to chat about their similarities and differences.

Postpartum Must Haves
Hello! Happy Thursday! I’m slowly emerging from the newborn fog over here and wanted to do a post today sharing what’s been getting me through the last few weeks. The newborn phase is challenging and it’s one you somehow forget about as soon as it ends. Your body re-adjusts to functioning on little sleep and it takes some time to recover and get back into normal clothes. There have been a few things I’ve found to be lifesavers that I wanted to share.

Mackie’s Morning Routine

When I get up early to get work done I can always count on Mackie to wake up with me and keep me company. We’ve got a little routine.. she follows me out of bed, I let her out in the backyard for a few minutes and then she eats her breakfast while I drink my coffee. It’s our special morning quiet time before the rest of our house wakes up and chaos ensues.

Crosby’s 2nd Bday Puppy Pawty
Last month Crosby turned two and we celebrated a few days later with a puppy themed party with our families and close friends. Last year, for her first Birthday, we went big… and I actually debated about another big party. But since I was 36 weeks pregnant, we opted for a much smaller celebration that was super easy and stress free.

Feeding Mackie Purina Pro Plan

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know that Mackie, our 7-year-old French Bulldog, is our first baby. She’s as sweet as can be and puts up with a toddler who is still learning the meaning of the word “gentle” without being phased.

Jumpsuits I Love For Spring & Summer
These shots in the Carlsbad Flower Fields from last year make me so happy! It was so fun to shoot there… even if we were being sneaky hoping over the green tape and breaking the rules. Today’s post is all about one of my favorite things to wear – a jumpsuit! And something I can’t wait to start wearing again. Getting me so excited to do some postpartum shopping. 🙂 I actually found the one I’m wearing in stock here as well as in a pink floral print that I’ll link below. Plus several others in various price points that I love for spring and summer.

Wayfair’s Way Day Deals
Happy Wednesday! So excited that today is Way Day! I actually had no idea what this was until last year when I happened to be on Wayfair’s site and discovered this amazing sale. They do it once a year and have huge markdowns that are even better than Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
I wanted to share a few things we’ve purchased from Wayfair over the years.

What to Wear to a Wedding When You’re Pregnant
Although I didn’t attend any weddings this pregnancy, I’ve gotten quite a few questions about bump-friendly wedding guest dresses and thought it would make a fun post. I’m rounding up my favorites for everything from the casual wedding to black tie along with several bridesmaids options thrown in as well.

Knit T-Shirt Dress
I’m 38.5 weeks pregnant and every day I think it could be my last day before baby boy is born. Not that I’m feeling 100% ready… but do you ever? I’ve also officially made it longer in this pregnancy than I did in my pregnancy with Crosby, as she was born at 38 weeks and 3 days! So wild to think about. I’ll definitely be trying to take advantage of this weekend in case it’s our last weekend as a family of 3!
