brb I’m sobbing because what do you mean she’s not the baby of the family anymore? I know my heart will grow but I’ll miss these days 💔 - #secondbaby #onetotwo #firstborn #girlmom #toddlermom

Why does it always feel like such a waste of time to go to the hospital LOL… - #laboranddelivery #38weekspregnant #thirdtrimester #preeclampsia #laborcontractions

Everybody say a little prayer for me LOL - #9lbbaby #thirdtrimester #99thpercentile #secondbaby #38weekspregnant

Unfortunately…. I highly recommend putting your toddler in ballet 🩰 ✨ @tutuschool - #toddlerballet #tutuschool #babyballerina #girlmom #toddleractivities

Everyone: You’re 9 months pregnant. You need to relax. Me: Never underestimate a woman trying to go into labor naturally and avoid an induction 😅 I just about broke my knee so if this doesn’t work I give up… - idea from @sarahhpollard - #inducelabor #laborcontractions #thirdtrime

the last few weeks of pregnancy are not for the weak I just want to go into labor LOL - #secondbaby #prodromallabor #inducelabor #laborcontractions #braxtonhicks

You’d think that I’d know what real labor contractions feel like since this is my second baby but here I am psyching myself out EVERY DAY thinking I’m going into labor naturally 😪😪 - #secondbaby #laborcontractions #prodromallabor #braxtonhicks #inducelabor

#giftedbybiom I’ve been in nesting mode for our second baby for the past few weeks, and something that’s super important to be me when welcoming a newborn is using cleaning products that are safe AND effective. I chose @biom for all of my nesting purposes and am so happy with my choice. The dispe

I really thought this would be my smaller/more regular sized baby but I think it’s clear that we only make HUGE babies lol. I was NOT expecting her cheeks to be so much bigger this week than they were last week 😅 - #bigbaby #thirdtrimester #38weekspregnant #endofpregnancy #secondbaby

I fear being put into a neat little category was simply never in the cards for me. I contain multitudes, most of them extremely niche and at least a few of them completely useless. - #girlblogger #weirdgirl #thoughtdaughter #nichecore #womanhood

I think there’s something really important about women having a space that belongs entirely to them. A space they can be bored, daydream, journal, listen to music, make things, get lost in their own thoughts, and slowly figure out who they are. So much of becoming yourself happens when nobody else

This weekend’s hand me down & thrift haul: vintage books, vinyl records and old playboy magazines. We’ve been loving collecting analog media & trying to live slowly 🫶 - #analog #analogmedia #physicalmedia #vinylrecords #playboymagazines

This little cafe called A Walk In The Park in Firestone Park, Akron, OH is so whimsical and fun! I got a snickers latte and loved it. They also have food & crafts, but I was short on time and just stuck with coffee ☕️ I can’t wait to go back and try their food! - #akronohio #coffeeshop #ohi

Well the good news is that cervical checks hurt much less after you’ve already had a baby. The BAD news is that I’ve made no progress in the past week and am still only 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced at 37 weeks 🫠 how do I induce labor natural at home before my scheduled induction PLEASE - #cervi

Ohio has so many beautiful places that most people drive past without a second thought. 📍Saint Mary’s Parish in Akron has been standing for over a century, and its basilica style architecture is just one more reminder that the Midwest is full of beauty if you’re willing to slow down and notice it.

The closer I get to labor and the end of this pregnancy, the more I understand why motherhood has been treated as something sacred across so many cultures and throughout history. No matter what you believe, there is something profoundly awe inspiring about the women who bring life into the world.

Stumbled upon the cutest retro dinner when we were walking around Massilon, OH the other day. I’ve lived 30 mins away my entire life but never actually checked out the city and I was NOT expecting it to be so cute. So many old buildings and interesting little shops. Chloe’s Diner was so unique

There’s really nothing I love more than spending way too long wandering through antique stores, vintage shops, and old furniture warehouses. 📍 Main Street Modern & Lost Thread Vintage in Canton, OH @Lost Thread Vintage @MainStreetModern - #antiquestore #vintagefurniture #vintageclothes

I swear the Midwest specializes in architectural whiplash lol. I'd never heard of this church until we passed it and I was in awe. This is St. Mary’s Parish in Massillon, OH built in the 1870s 🤍 - #gothicrevival #gothicarchitecture #midwest #midwestgothic #ohio

I’m sorry but you cannot convince me that there are people in the world who ACTUALLY enjoy this heat. Maybe I’m just super pregnant. Maybe “summer people” are just liars (sarcasm) - #heatwave #summerpregnancy #summerbaby #unpopularopinions #snowbaby
