In the Know.

We shared with a few more people about your presence.
Your daddy told a few coworkers (and maybe more people I am not sure!) and they were thrilled - 2 of which have babies themselves! It was nice to get some tips from them and just see what they had to say.


I broke down and told all the yogi crew. It is basically a crew of preggo mommies or young mommies. Babies + birth often come up in this group so sure as you're born it came up as Mel passed out some beautiful beginnings flyers. She handed some to me and asked if she had any openings in November muwhahahaha. I mean, it was the perfect set up!

Good news is that she does and I hope that she can shoot it, but there is a chance she will be nice and pregnant at that time too. It will be a treat to have her. You'll see, kid.


Auntie Jip, Frank & Lauren were thrilled! I think Auntie Frank gets the award for most excited so far! Although Auntie Kath is a close 2nd so far. (Wether you like it or not you will have lots of aunties). Auntie Frank (also known as Jenns) was hilarious over the phone. I seriously wish I would have recorded her reaction for this piece. It was something along the lines of "Whhhhaaaaaaat? Wait a minute, wait a minute? what? wait a minute? a baby? There is going to be a baby! Oh my gosh Caren, there is going to be a baby! ..." and so on for what felt like 5 minutes of her talking and me laughing at her response.


I shared that I was more excited than I thought I would be. I mean, I knew I always wanted children, and wasn't too, too picky when, but then when I suspected pregnancy I just wanted you more than I recognized. The point is here, nugget, that already people are so excited to meet and greet you and welcome you!


After our appointment on April 5th we will be sharing with more and more people about the seed in my bellie. Although I have an almost positive idea of when your "due" date is (I hate due dates ... as if you are really going to come on that day, ha!), I am still anxious to see how correct I am with me 2-3 predictions.

the story of stella.

it's been really hard to sit down and write this. not just because i keep falling asleep or stella needs to nurse... sure that is a part of it, but, there is a vulnerable part to writing this birth story that i have been having a hard time wrapping my head around. i'm an open book and this post will be a piece of that open book, but know that i still am sifting through some anger that things didn't go as "planned" even though for 10 months i mentally prepared for all possible outcomes and knowing the plan may not happen.  ...and per usual i didn't hold back on details. if you can't handle it, sorry. this is birth. INTRO: it was most important for me to bring our child into the world in the most organic way possible. after lots of research, resources and conversations we decided the best route to do this would be a home birth. we chose our midwife, found an amazing doula , and i received back up care the entire pregnancy from 2 obgyn's that i c

waiting for our arrival

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,

what i have learned my baby's first month

-
i have a guest post coming about lessons learned in a baby's first year and i started tracking what i was learning because every day seemed like a new lesson. i'm certain this will grow. i have learned: 1. how much more laundry a little makes (not including cloth diapers).  our water bill coming must be astronomical. 2. it's not easy to be the same wife you once were while tending to a little.  our love may be stronger, but it takes more effort. 3. projectile vomiting is common among ferocious eating newborns. 4. large breasts are completely overrated. 5. how much you will melt looking at your husband with his daughter. 6. i'm not sure i can fathom someone else taking care of my child even if it's family. 7. that cheering over and congratulating large burps is a common occurrence. 8. that my driving has tremendously improved (and everyone else has become worse). 9. how fast the days go by because  a) we nap b) there is always something (everything) that ne
