Postpartum Care After a Home Birth

Now that Zara is most definitely not a newborn and I'm fairly certain that I have survived the postpartum period, I wanted to take a moment to finally write about my post home birth experience.  This will be my last post about our hom[...]

Managing Pain in Labor

One of the best things about having a photographer take pictures at Zara's birth is that through the photographs, I'm able to see parts of the birth that I was oblivious to at the time.  I'm able to see things that went on in other rooms a[...]

Zara’s (Peach’s) Birth Story

First a note:  This is a birth story.  While there are no direct pictures of nudity, there are, of course, some in which I am not clothed and all that is blocking nudity is a baby or camera angle.  In addition, this describes Zara's birth an[...]

Preparing a Sibling to Participate in a Birth

One of the biggest reasons we chose to have a home birth is because we wanted to make the transition into a family of four as easy as possible on Nora.  I didn't want to just disappear for two days to the hospital and then bring a baby ho[...]

More photos and Zara's birth story to come, but I cannot wait to share this photo of her getting weighed for the first time. Her little toes and tiny feet are just way too adorable.

I'm still working on Miss Zara's birth story, but I wanted to share a quick update on how we're doing.  And, honestly, the title of this post says it all.  I couldn't imagine a better beginning to our little entry into the world. &nbs[...]

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
