If you follow me on social media, then you know our sweet new baby has joined us earth side. Finally. Thank you all so much for your prayers, good wishes, and everyone who has sent gifts and food! We truly have the best village. This was a rough pregnancy for me, but I’m honestly already feeling more like myself. Yes I’m starting up breastfeeding again and healing from pushing a watermelon out of my body. But my body is mine again, and I don’t feel sick. Being a woman and growing a baby is a beautiful thing. I feel like such a bad ass. I truly do, and I don’t take for granted that I’m able to do so fairly easily. But it’s hard work no matter how you do it, and man does it feel good to get it out.

Yesterday was my 32nd birthday. And I have to tell you I really wanted to go to the beach for my birthday. I have plans for a whole beach vacation on my computer just ready to be scheduled. When we moved back to Indiana, I had the air bnb booked already for this week. But then we found out we were expecting. So instead of going to the beach and seeing all my Florida friends, I spent the day preparing for shopbop’s big spring sale and dreaming of the upcoming summer when I will hopefully get to go on that vaca. Here’s what I bought . . .

black swimsuit . high waisted kate spade bikini . rose gold sandals . bag . coverup

What’s on your list for the big sale and summer vaca plans?

I had big plans to give the blog a big refresh at the beginning of the year, and then that hard work really got me down. But guys I miss this space. I miss having the creative outlet. I miss having somewhere that’s just mine, where I share. because I am an oversharer and a talker. So those plans are back on track and honestly I’ve already done half the work and I’m still happy with it. I’m most definitely going to take a couple weeks to just spend with my new boy and help my big boy adjust. And then I’ll get started on getting back here to you. Thank you guys for baring with me the past 2.5 months, I hope when I get back you’ll enjoy the new atmosphere!
