Luke’s Birth Story – Part Two
Today I’m sharing Part Two of Luke’s Birth Story…if you missed Part One, you can catch it here! Once we made it to the hospital, it was about 8:00am. Blake made sure I was checked in and settled in my Labor & Delivery room before going to move the car. We had called my parents and Blake’s dad on the way, so Blake’s dad was making his way to Atlanta from South Carolina at this time. My parents live 2.5 miles away from us, so they got a few things together and came to the hospital (my mom told me later that my dad stopped at the gas station and…

Luke’s Birth Story – Part One
I initially debated posting Luke’s birth story, but when I was pregnant I scoured the internet reading as many as I could to “prepare” myself for what was to come (as if that was possible – ha!). What I eventually discovered was that no two birth stories are the same but that each one is special and beautiful. I love reading about everyone’s experiences, and I wanted to write this down to be able to remember it in the future. Just a warning…it’s long and very wordy 🙂 So with that being said…here is Part One of Luke’s Birth Story: Once I hit 37 weeks…I was OVER being pregnant. While…

What I Packed in My Hospital Bag
I am a planner through and through. When I was pregnant, I googled everything from “what to pack in my hospital bag” (and started packing weeks in advance) to “what to expect when you bring home a newborn”. Five months later, I realized nothing from that second topic was even close to preparing me for what life is actually like when you have a baby 🙂 However, I picked up a lot of helpful information from different posts about what you should bring in your hospital bag and thought I would share what I ended up bringing with me. I over packed (what else is new) so for any future…

Luke’s Neutral & Navy Nursery Reveal
As soon as we found out we were having a boy, I immediately started planning the nursery in my head. I looked on Pinterest, read other blog posts about nursery reveals, and thought about what I wanted the room to feel like when we brought our sweet little babe home. I decided I didn’t necessarily want a “theme”, but wanted mostly neutrals with navy accents. This room used to be an office/guest room and one of the walls was already painted a deep blue. I had purchased two indigo hued prints previously and knew they would be perfect in the room. Once I decided to use those, everything else just…
