a weekly log of our everyday life
Postpartum Week 1: Feelings & Updates (a bit of a long post!) Our first night home alone (night 2 of baby’s life) was HARD. All the helpful nurses, who miraculously know just how to calm a screaming baby and swaddle perfectly, were suddenly gone. And we were thrown right into parenthood. Apparently night 2 is […]

Our baby girl made her debut last week! So far the transition to parenthood has been hard. Our first night home alone was the hardest…apparently it’s typical and it even has a name– called “Night 2 Syndrome.” Breastfeeding has been hard. We have so many doctors appointments scheduled that everything just seems so overwhelming. Cindy’s […]

Well…baby’s due date has come and gone and… we’re still pregnant. We keep saying, “Any day now!” but at this point it feels like maybe she’s just gonna stay in there forever lol. We’ve been trying to keep busy, so we don’t get bored just waiting around. Since baby’s due date was on Friday and […]

We finally have the baby’s nursery put together and thought we’d give a tour! And share how we made space for both baby and Jake’s office in our second bedroom. We’re pretty fortunate to have moved into this bigger space a year ago. We probably could have made it work in our old apartment, but […]

For Easter, Jake’s mom gifted us a butterfly raising kit. Basically, you just pay for shipping and the company sends you a jar of caterpillars to raise into butterflies. They send about 5 and guarantee that at least 3 will make it. For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been watching our caterpillars grow and […]

For the first time in a year, we got a taste of what our social life was like pre-COVID. And it was so nice! And expensive…and also tiring (but in all the best ways). On Thursday evening, we were invited over by a friend from Bible study for dinner. After a year of meeting via […]

We celebrated Cindy’s birthday this past week! The ONLY thing she wanted (and has been craving) were Sprinkles cupcakes. And Jake delivered. We both wanted to try all the flavors, but not OD on all the sugar, so we each ate a quarter of each cupcake. Then we each picked the one we like most […]

The title of this week’s blog basically sums it all up. After a year of living in our “new” apartment, we finally got our curtains tailored & hung! We feel so adult. Anything having to do with curtains just naturally makes us feel so “adult” haha. It is so nice to have natural light coming […]
