How to Write your Birth Plan ⬇️

Building strength in 2025 to carry you in 2026 ✨🐥 Building strength in 2025 to carry you in 2026 ✨🐥

We spent mowt of 2025 saying “let’s get fit together,” thinking of getting toned body and improving our running pace. Turns out, we were just getting our bodies and minds ready as we prepare our home and welcome our little one 💙

Although this journey involves a lot more cravings and a lot less cardio (at least for me lol), wewe wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ready to welcome you, little one. 🤍

Prepping the world’s smallest wardrobe 🐥🥹 I can’t Prepping the world’s smallest wardrobe 🐥🥹

I can’t believe we’re finally at this point. In just a few short weeks, these tiny sleeves will actually have arms in them, and we’ll be carrying you home. It’s one thing to buy the clothes; it’s a whole other feeling to finally wash them and realize a human is coming to fill them.

This little collection is a labor of love:
• treasured hand-me-downs from my nephew (keeping it in the family!).
• a few “mine!”-speed online shopping gambles that actually paid off.
• and the literal back-breaking hours spent hunting through thrift store racks for those hidden gems.

Now that the basics are prepped, I can focus on filling the gaps—and maybe a few more just-because outfits.

I’d love to hear from the experienced parents: How long did your newborns actually fit into their “newborn” size? Are we talking weeks or was it a once-and-done situation? Help a nesting parent out! 👇

Becoming a mother shouldn’t mean saying goodbye to Becoming a mother shouldn’t mean saying goodbye to the woman you were.

Embracing motherhood is a massive new chapter, but I truly believe we can stay rooted in who we are - our values, our passions, and the parts of us that make us feel alive.
It’s about defining motherhood on our own terms. It’s not just about not losing ourselves; it’s about intentionally building ourselves to be better. We grow because we have to, and we evolve because we are now responsible for the world of a tiny new human.

Onwards, forward, and always for the better. 🤍

my fave notif yet… 🐥 But it gets more and more in my fave notif yet… 🐥

But it gets more and more intense as the days pass by! Sometimes it’s a sudden nudge as if he wants to separate from my body, and other times, it’s a dozen tiny flutters as if he’s running a marathon! Someone’s definitely getting active in there! 

Looking back, I felt our baby move inside me as early as 14 weeks. Now that I’m counting down the weeks, I feel like it’s all too fast — can I hit pause for just a little bit? 🥹

P.S. I have anterior placenta. 😌

When life turns the page for you. ✨ In 2024, I ca When life turns the page for you. ✨

In 2024, I carried a piece of my heart on my bouquet (a wedding brooch that has a hint of blue with a photo of my papa). It had its own charm - heavy with everything I wished he were there to see. I thought then, that blue would always be tied to longing and grief.

But life has a way of rewriting my story just when I think the chapter is closed. This year, blue has taken on an entirely different meaning. It’s no longer just a memory; it’s a heartbeat, a fresh start, and a reminder that joy can grow in the same soil where we once planted our tears.

Grief visits me still, but it feels lighter now that my life is painted in a new, hopeful shade of blue. 💙

such a bittersweet feeling 🥹 How are we 30 weeks such a bittersweet feeling 🥹

How are we 30 weeks down, when it feels like just yesterday you were a whispered wish to the stars and sky?
How are we left with 10 weeks, when we’re only in the midst of enjoying your hiccups and rolls as your kicks go high?
How, in the beauty and craziness of this pregnancy, could love seep further, and fill past every nook and cranny; and take the shape of you?
How could we ever contain this joy, knowing you might arrive even sooner than the ten weeks until you’re due? ✨💕
