What I Wish I knew About C-Sections and Birth
With Bean, I went to all the classes and, yes, it was informational but also geared towards vaginal deliveries. When we went for one of our last ultrasounds, it looked like Bean wasn’t going to turn head down but it was early, 37 weeks at that point. The reason we ended with a cesarean —…

A Bucket List for My Firstborn
We didn’t celebrate her half birthday last year, but this year we did. We made a big fuss about it all day. We even gave her treats and made cupcakes with sprinkles. Sort of like a ‘yes’ day. I think the reason why I was feeling like we should make a big fuss was because…

An East Coast Fall
Changing weather. Apple cider donuts. Colored leaves. All of the above = my favorite things about an East Coast fall season. Even though Lil Bean was born in Virginia, she definitely doesn’t remember her first Fall. And the fall season in California is essentially nonexistent. The leaves never turn vibrant red, yellow, or orange. So…

Our ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ fun!

We’re back!
Back on the East Coast, that is. It’s been a hectic summer this year. Right after Lil Bean’s 2nd Birthday, D found a new job. Thankfully it was what he was looking for. Unfortunately it would mean moving back to Virginia. =( After living in California for almost two years, it was pretty heartbreaking to…

What’s in your Disney bag?
Full disclosure, I’m not the person who packs our bags. I’m the person who ruffles through the bags and annoys my partner-for-life. I’m the DAD! It’s my job. E’s the organizing Queen (well, she’s really THE Queen). She packs our diaper bag and snack pack for Lil Bean. Here’s what we usually bring for a…
