Cope?! That’s Easier Said Than Done
While searching for topics to write about, I quietly thought to myself about how I dealt with hearing bad news from the doctor. How did I cope with a doctor telling me that my baby wouldn’t make it? How did I cope with that same doctor suggesting we terminate our baby halfway through our pregnancy?…

Mommyhood Joy
I’ve been a little MIA from my blog and today I realized it’s mainly because I’ve been living in the moment and absolutely enjoying being a mom. I’ve also returned to work, which is a completely separate blog post that we won’t take the time to focus on right now. I want to take my…

On the Road Again, Baby!
Traveling with a newborn ended up being much easier than we thought it would be. I don’t know if my son was just destined to be a little angel during a five hour plane ride, or if we cheated because newborns sleep all day anyways. Either way, we flew from Los Angeles to Florida and…

The Big Snip
My son was recently circumcised and I was a big gigantic mess. From what I hear most circumcisions occur shortly after birth, however since my son was born at 2 pounds 6 ounces, he was entirely too small. We had to wait, and waiting seemed like it took forever. The week of his NICU release…

Stop staying home!
Don’t be afraid to go places just because you have a baby. And no, I’m not talking about making a trip to grandmas house. I’m talking about staying home instead of going to brunch with a friend or out to dinner with your husband. Stop staying home just because your afraid people will stare at…

First Time Away
I spent the entire morning away from my baby for the very first time and I handled it like a champ. Yes, this is a post where I take a second to pat myself on the back. And honestly, I think all moms should be able to do that often. Motherhood is a true labor…

Memories
After 32 days in the NICU, I felt that it was extremely important for our baby to have a newborn photoshoot. I wanted to commemorate the fact that he made it out alive and well, despite the odds. I want to encourage you to always cherish your baby in some physical/digital form whether it’s a…

Dear Friends…
Just because we’ve had a baby does not mean we have disappeared off the face of the earth and turned into people completely opposite of the person you knew. Yes, things may change, however those changes aren’t supposed to constitute dissolving a friendship or being less of a friend because of our children. So, this…

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit “NICU”
Due to our baby’s intrauterine growth restriction, doctor’s were able to accurately predict two things: 1. Our baby would be born early and 2. Our baby would stay in the NICU after birth. We didn’t know how long that stay would be, but I surprisingly think knowing about it early was a blessing in disguise.…

Nighttime Routine or Something Like it
If I were to tell the truth, the first few days of having our baby home were and absolute blur. I never knew what time it was, I stopped counting the hours between his bottle feedings and naps. I just worked through those days like a zombie mama, taking care of my baby as best…
