September is NICU Awareness Month, and while September is coming to a close, support for babies in the NICU is always needed. As a lot of people know, our son Leo was in the NICU for the first two weeks of his life. While many parents are made aware of a possible NICU stay if [...]
Last week we made the 24+ hour drive from Austin to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to spend three weeks at my parent's beach house. Not only is it nice to escape Austin for a change of scenery while we're still social distancing, but we've been able to see both of our families for the first time since January.

It's been five months since Leo was born, and I recently found myself looking back on the photos I took of my growing bump during pregnancy. It's almost hard to remember ever having that big of a bump! It's crazy how drastically my feelings about pregnancy have changed - during those 9 months, and especially [...]
