Choosing names for our twins was very challenging! First, we had to come up with TWO full names (instead of one!) Second, because we chose not to find out genders, we had to have name lists for boy/boy twins, boy/girl twins, and girl/girl twins! It was so difficult to finalize, that we didn't have the names picked for at least eight hours after they were born. That being said, the twins' names are very special to us, and here is a little bit about how we chose them! Theo Charles  We ... View the Post

A c-section is not something that I thought would be part of our birth story, but that's what happened and it was still very beautiful. We had spent the weeks leading up to the twins' birth prepping for a vaginal birth and so I feel like I hadn't adequately prepared for a c-section. If a c-section is something you are planning for (or maybe you have scheduled) here are some of the things that I wish I would have known going into it, and also some helpful tips for recovery. What I Wish I Would ... View the Post

Our twin boys Sonny and Theo were born on March 27, 2022 at 1:55am and 1:57am and let me tell you their birth story is wild!

We had been taking my blood pressure daily for about two weeks after it started creeping up around 34 or 35 weeks. My OB told us to let her know ... View the Post

Here are my very favorite photos from our maternity family session. I knew that I wanted to take maternity photos during this pregnancy, but last minute I decided to add a short maternity family session and I am so happy that I did. These family photos were some of my favorite shots from the whole shoot. It's also very sweet to have this time period documented. Our last family session was in July of 2021 and we didn't even know we were pregnant yet! Tips for a Maternity Family Session Do ... View the Post

Here is a big roundup of all of my pregnancy favorites! My pregnancy took place in entirely different seasons this time around and it was nice to style the bump in cozy layers (and wear leggings all the time!) Below you will find links to some of my favorite and most worn pregnancy items. My favorite maternity leggings are this basic black pair and then also my faux leather ones. I wore the faux leather ones whenever I needed to get a little "fancier" while pregnant. I also really like ... View the Post

Dear Rosie, The day you were born will always be one of the best days of my life. You made me a mom and it changed my world forever. We got to do all of the “firsts” together and that’s something that we will always have. You will always be my first baby and my favorite “in the whole world” (as you would say!)  I can’t believe it won’t be “just us” anymore. I’m trying to soak in every moment of every day with you before the babies arrive. There is so much uncertainty around when they will ... View the Post
