Hey, friends! I hope y’all are staying safe out there during this time of quarantine (and trying not to get too stir crazy)! Since I’m on my maternity leave, I was already staying at home with Porter but the silver lining is that now my hubby gets to be home with us. Porter turned 5 weeks old this Wednesday and I can already see how much he’s grown! In today’s post, I’m rounding up some of our most-used postpartum and newborn essentials that have gotten us through these first few weeks. This is by no means an all-inclusive list, just a few things that I have found helpful during this time. Ps. In the next few months I’ll be working on a more thorough baby registry guide so be on the lookout for that as well!
Porter James | 1 Month
My sweet little Porter James is 1 month old!! Some days I still can’t believe that Ryan & I created this little human and that I’m a mom to the sweetest little boy. We’re parents now and our life is forever changed and I love it! Of course this first month has had its challenges but getting to know Porter has been nothing short of amazing. Each month I’ll be sharing few photos and highlights so let’s jump right in!

Favorite Pregnancy Items + Resources
Hi, friends! For those of you that follow along on Instagram, you probably saw that I had my sweet baby boy last week!! A little earlier than expected but we’re all doing well. I’ve been working on his birth story and will be sharing next week but for now, I thought I’d reflect on some of the things I found beneficial during pregnancy. In this post I’m sharing my favorite apps, wardrobe staples, pregnancy pillows and more. This list is by no means all-inclusive, just things that worked for me!
What I’m Packing In My Hospital Bag
I think it’s safe to say we’re officially on baby watch! I’m 37 weeks and baby boy is due March 7th BUT this last month anything could happens so we are trying to get as prepared as we can be! Today I’m sharing what I’m packing in my hospital bag- I’ve done some online research and also gathered advice from friends and you guys on Instagram. It’s hard because I don’t want to bring TOO much, but obviously need all the essentials to make the stay as comfy as possible. Ps. I’m also listing some other miscellaneous recommended items from you guys at the bottom of the post!
Third Trimester Bumpdate
Hey y’all! I cannot believe I am in the final stretch of my first pregnancy. I’m 36 weeks so that means 4 more weeks to go… give or take. Today I’m sharing a few updates of what’s been going on this last trimester and who knows… this may or may not be my last bumpdate post until baby boy is here!
