Just Call Me A Cow

Its a funny thing. When you’re extremely pregnant all you can think about is what it would be like to feel normal again. The last two months of my pregnancy I felt like a cow. A cow with heartburn. My belly was huge. My boobs were huge–and leaking–and I fought the urge to moo (and/or… Read More »

The Birth Story: Part Two

So…are you ready for the rest of the story? Let’s see…I think I left off with the bliss of feeling the epidural kick in, right? Right. I had an epidural for my first baby. I had no idea what real labor was with her, so I cannot say that I fully appreciated the majesty of… Read More »

The Birth Story: Part One

Hi guys. I had a baby two weeks ago. An amazing, sweet, delicious baby boy. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see for yourself that he is just the absolute, most perfect newborn ever.
