style, stories & everything in between
i used to joke during my last months of pregnancy that i only got dressed up for doctor's visits and it's proving to be the case with postpartum life as well. today i had my official 6-week post-op check-up and i'm proud to report i got cleared to resume all normal activity -most notably working ...
hello from the other side! i am officially five and a half weeks postpartum and slowly starting to feel more and more like my pre-pregnant self. admittedly, despite the lack of sleep and growing bags under my eyes, i consider my postpartum self to be a better version of the shawna pre-2020 if only for ...
on may 22nd, 2020 at 3:07 p.m. and 3:08 p.m. our tiny heartbeats entered the world. henry beau arrived first weighing in at 5 lbs. 7 oz. and measuring 19" long, and his small but mighty sister, delilah rose followed right behind him tipping the scales at a wee 3 lbs. 12 oz. and measuring ...
if you follow me on instagram, you may have seen my recent post explaining that we've moved our c-section date up a week to next thursday! everything looks great, our doctor team just thinks our little loves could benefit by entering the world a little early. personally, i'm pretty excited over the change in schedule ...
i'm milking my maternity clothes for all their worth in these final days before the beebs arrive. in all honesty, i'll be sporting many items postpartum as my body adjusts back to its pre-pregnant self, but i'm savoring these final moments of styling around this beautiful bump (i know i'll miss it once it's gone). ...
we are having an unseasonably warm spring around these parts (not complaining one bit!) which is making me think it'll be followed by an equally as toasty summer. thankfully i will no longer be pregnant once the real heat hits, but i know i'll be reaching for light-weight fabrics and breezy silhouettes as my body ...
holy smokes, we're in may! it's hard to believe the babies will be here in about three weeks! my days of maternity style are definitely numbered and i'm doing my best to embrace dressing this sweet bump before it's gone. i will say my twice weekly doctor's appointments have certainly helped fuel my creativity when ...
i don't know about you, but i feel like the weeks are flying by (says the girl whose babies aren't earthside yet, ha) ! i can't believe tomorrow is may 1st! if you've been following me on instagram, you know that we've bumped up (no pun intended) the twins' doctors visits to twice a week ...
greetings from me and my almost 33 week twin bump! we're in real home stretch you guys and i'm just so excited to finally see baby boy and baby girl's sweet faces. but before they make their grand debut, i decided to treat myself to a new frock from my go-to spot for maternity clothes ...
hello again from quarantine! with the temperatures reaching the 80's this week, i was excited to pull out these maternity shorts i was gifted back in the early weeks of my pregnancy to create some new outfits. honestly at this rate, don't be surprised if the bathing suit i purchased in anticipation of our babymoon ...
