Jackson is now 9 weeks old! I’m a couple days late with this post since we were flying to Martinique that day!
Read MoreOn November 26, 2017, at 38 weeks and 3 days, I felt Roman move inside my womb for what would be the last time. Every night around 11:00pm, Roman would get the hiccups and perform a circus routine, and that night was no different. So just like any other night, I fell asleep to the peaceful lull of his hiccups.
Read MoreNovember 27th, 2017 is a day that will forever remain etched on my mind and my heart and physically on my body. That was the day that we had to say goodbye to our third child Roman.

Read MoreJackson is 4 weeks old today! I have affectionately referred to these past 4 weeks as “bonus month” with this little guy. We’ve gotten to have almost a whole extra month with an extra sleepy little newborn.
Well, this week, Jackson officially woke up.

Going from 1 to 2 kids was definitely harder haha. It is taking some time to adjust to the amount of time it takes to get out the door now though!
Read MoreYesterday was our original induction date, so it’s crazy to think that Jackson is already two weeks old! He is still an incredibly sleepy, chill baby. He has started having periods of awake time, but even then, he just lays there calmly taking everything in.
