Everything We’re Registering for Baby #2
I found registering for our first baby really overwhelming. There were so many options for every type of baby gear, and I had a hard time figuring out what was the best and safest and what we really needed. (If…
Big News!
Surprise! We’re pregnant! Baby #2 is coming this August! I honestly, didn’t know I’d ever have the opportunity to make a pregnancy announcement after infertility. We’ve been keeping the news secret for sooo long (though I’m sure many of you…
My 2019 New Year’s Resolutions
I am the type who totally makes resolutions and then forgets about them a month later, beats herself up, and then does it again the next year. I can’t help it. I love the possibility of a fresh start and a new year.

Infertility Diaries: The Family I Don’t Have
I saw a family on the subway today. One mom with an infant in a stroller, a little girl show looked to be James’ age in her arms, two little girls who couldn’t be older than 3 or 4, and…
Highlights From Our Summer 2018
Can you believe we’re already saying goodbye to summer and looking back on our summer 2018 highlights? Time slow down! But alas, here we are. One of the things I’m trying to do is be more grateful for the things…
What I Learned From Going on Vacation With Our Baby
Our most recent trip last week really made it clear how important it is to get away as a family sometimes. We were nervous that taking a vacation with a baby wouldn’t be relaxing at all, but by picking a really…
Motherhood Mondays: Are We Ready for the Suburbs?
Are we ready for the suburbs? That’s the question of the moment over here. It’s funny how things really do happen in what seems like inevitable stages and like dominos, everyone seems to progress together. I used to think it…
The Pain of Infertility
God, I really never thought I’d be writing a post like this. I thought I was one of the lucky ones. The ones whose husbands looked at them and they got pregnant. Trust, I’ve had to deal with a lot…
