pregnancy, postpartum and newborn must haves

07/08/2014

Don't you hate when you see lists of "best of" items and they're prefaced by three pages worth of jibber jabber to scroll through before getting to the list? Me too. pregnancy: 1. H&M Leggings: They're $12.95, comfortable and allow for some airflow, what's not to love. I lived in these. 2. Early pregnancy/post partum nursing clothes: No lin[...]

I woke at 12am Tuesday morning, my stomach tight and knotted as it had been many nights for the last two weeks. I ignored the feeling, not wanting to get my hopes up yet again about the possiblity of meeting the baby boy I had been carrying for 4o weeks and 4 days.

I can't start Everett's birth story without starting at the beginning, because I am so grateful for the blessings given to us during his pregnancy that brought his little sweet spirit to us.

With Aspen, David and I took the 12 week Bradley Method courses for husband coached natural childbirth. We felt so prepared for delivery, and thought we would know exactly what to do[...]

Our friends Phil and Casie had their son Liam a month after Aspen was born, and shortly after I found out I was due with baby number two in March, we found out Phil and Casie were also expecting and due in April-- a month later! Four sweet babies, all on the same timeline :) Neyden was so good to me, I loved taking his photos and snuggling with him while these awesome[...]

This little lady had a gorgeous maternity session, and did not disappoint when it came to her debut newborn photos either! Svea was so sweet; I particularly loved all her hair and natural faux hawk. She even showed some love for her furry siblings--girl after my own heart.

Siri is a very special mama to me. Before I ever met her, she commented me just to tell me she liked my work and wanted me to do her maternity and newborn photos... when she conceived. She wasn't even pregnant yet! It was so sweet, and when it was time to take their maternity pics we had a ton of fun getting to know each other and playing with their pups. Thank you La[...]

Temporarily the newest member of our family, little Knox sure gave us a run for our money. I think he really just wanted us to have lots of time together to visit :) Love this little guy!
