gender neutral nursery nook in a studio apartment

Living in a 1920s apartment means the internet offers very little when it comes to decor hacks. Almost everything on Pinterest told me to set my baby up in the closet or in a hallway but neither of those were options for me with my apartment's floor plan.

It took a lot of measuring and re-working and our community blessing us with all the gift cards to make this nursery nook come together. We love this apartment so I'm really glad we got to bring Isaac home here.

Isaac's birth story

Of course, I was fine all Saturday.

maternity shoot

A few weeks ago Brandon and I met up with our friend and brilliant photographer Chloe for a maternity photo session. I was on the fence about whether or not to do a maternity shoot for most of my pregnancy but in the end, I'm so glad we did one. For one, Chloe is an incredible photographer. She knows her way around her camera and has endless vision. Her photographic eye is just out of this world.

second trimester update

FRIENDS! I’m officially in my third trimester. This pregnancy has just flown right by. I can’t believe we’re less than 100 days from meeting our little guy.

Instead of just listing out thoughts I’ve had during this part of the pregnancy like I did last time, I thought it’d be fun to share a little more this time around. I searched around for other trimester updates and compiled this little list of questions.
