Baby Enzo’s Birth Story
Little baby Enzo arrived 3 days before his due date on Fri., Sept. 19 at 1:46 a.m. coming in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 19.5 inches long. I can honestly say that my birth plan got turned upside down pretty quickly. Even though how my labor and delivery played out isn’t what I was…

Biweekly Update: 38 Weeks
Well technically I’m almost 39 weeks at this point. I can’t believe my due date is eight days away! I know it’s just an estimated date and that truly he could come up to two weeks after but it’s been fun counting down the weeks until this day arrives. We’re planning on having a “due…

Post-Baby Freezer Meals Update
Now less than 2 weeks away from our baby’s due date, I think I may be done stocking up the freezer. It’s pretty full and my energy is starting to slowly diminish. It’s been a battle just keeping up with regular cooking, let alone additional cooking. I feel pretty good about what we have stocked…

Biweekly Update: 36 Weeks
I’m technically at 37 weeks today as I write this but we’ll just say I’m 36 weeks for this post. I’ll take the extra time. 🙂 It’s so weird thinking that baby could really be here any day or he could take his sweet time and decide not to show for another 5 weeks. At…

Biweekly Update: 34 Weeks
Okay 6 weeks left really? This is absolutely nuts. Honestly, Thing 3 could arrive anywhere from 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after our due date so really we are more in a range of 4-8 weeks. I’m thinking 4 is way too short so hopefully he’ll hang on til the end! Big thing this…

Preparing for a Natural Birth
Even before becoming pregnant I had always thought that I would want a natural birth. (Well, as natural as possible birthing in a hospital). Now that we are inching towards baby’s due date and have taken two birthing classes, I feel prepared and empowered to plan on a natural birth, meaning no drugs or epidural.…

Biweekly Update: 32 Weeks
Less than eight weeks to go until due date! Quick update on how Thing 3 and I are doing. Big thing of the week: I think we found a daycare that will take our little boy part-time! We have been doing lots of research and it’s been hard to find a decent center that is close…

Biweekly Update: 30 Weeks
We are officially in the homestretch! I’ve started a countdown on our chalkboard at home and it’s really surreal to see the number of weeks left slowly creep down. We have almost exactly 2 months to go as I write this and it just seems impossible! How far along: 30 weeks Maternity clothes: Either wearing maternity clothes…

Post-Baby Freezer Meals
Now that I’ve hit the 30 week mark (what??!!) I’ve gotten serious about planning out some meals I can prep and put in the freezer for when Thing 3 makes his debut. My goal is to make 2-3 meals each week, label with the date and instructions, and freeze. I feel like this will make…

Biweekly Update: 28 Weeks
Time for another update. The third trimester is in full swing and I’m feeling much of the same. I did have some sharp lower abdominal pain on my right side 3 days in a row this week. I’m pretty sure it’s round ligament pain. It only lasted maybe 5-10 minutes each time but if it…

Biweekly Update: 26 Weeks…2/3 of the Way!
Whoa…according to most sources I am technically in my third trimester starting next week which means Thing 3 is 2/3 of the way cooked! I will probably say this every update, but I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. I feel like Joe and I have been keeping pretty busy with friends, spending…

Biweekly Update: 24 Weeks
I honestly cannot believe another two weeks has flown by! Less than 4 months now until we get to meet Thing 3 and I’ll admit I definitely have my random mental freak out moments and am getting pretty anxious now that I’m almost 2/3 of the way through. I’m excited to have my registry pretty…
