SNOO Review

Oh, the SNOO bassinet.  I don’t think I’ve ever received so many questions about a baby product before.  And I get it, it’s an investment and you are lured in by the promise of an amazing, sleeping baby.  There’s no two ways around it, the newborn days are tough.  Sleeping is minimal and you’d give […]

10 Things No One Told Me About Postpartum

There’s so much info out there about pregnancy but once you have the baby, it seems like the resources go a little dark.  I felt like at the hospital, you have so much help and then they’re like, ok bye, here’s your baby.  Now you’re home with a new baby and your body is doing […]

gender neutral nursery

Creating a Neutral Nursery

As you might’ve seen on stories, I plan on decorating a gender-neutral nursery for baby #3.  And I finally bought my first item for this baby–wallpaper!  It’s actually the only thing I’ve bought at all.  I’m almost 30 weeks and the ol’ nesting phenomena hasn’t kicked in yet; perhaps it won’t?  I already have quite […]

pregnancy after loss

Thoughts On Having a New Baby (After Two Losses)

Pregnancy After Loss: Coping and Dealing I think back to how wonderfully naive I was while pregnant with my two boys.  I didn’t worry about much as I had no reason to.  Pregnancy after any sort of loss changes you.  I keep thinking I’ll feel better after certain milestones but I honestly don’t think I […]
