I am 6 months late with this but better late than never right? Between moving, living in a temporary space etc, I am very clear on what baby items have been essential to our family during those first few months. Wanted to share my must-haves with you.

Each of our rooms a ..read more

I feel these moments are forever embedded into my memory. What a time to be pregnant during a global pandemic because of Covid-19 and also deliver a baby during this time. I will say my experience at the hospital was incredible and we felt 100% cared for and safe. Keep reading below for the story of Duke’s birthday. Leading up to birth Let’s rewind back to my 37 week appointment. At this appointment, I ha ..read more
