oh mexico, it sounds so sweet
stacy and i have been best friends since day one of kindergarten. i entered the classroom, pitched a fit, and cried to go home. stacy grabbed my hand, got me to stop crying, and has been by my side ever since. when she told me she was pregnant i was beyond excited. when i found out i was pregnant a few months later, well it was all kind of perfect. our littles are going to grow up having so much fun together! stacy – thank you for trusting me to capture these beautiful moments of your first pregnancy. i love you forever.
today my first born has completed an entire rotation around the sun and truth be told, my hormonal pregnant butt is feeling pretty emo about the whole thing. from the moment he was born hunter has been anything but normal. i guess considering who his parents are, we should have expected as much.
in my dreams i delivered my first born in a warm, candle lit room while my husband gently encouraged me to breathe. a playlist packed with cat stevens, conor oberst, and james taylor would play softly in the background while the scent of carefully selected essential oils wafted through the air.
a very special first father’s day!
more often than not, the things i take for granted today are the things i prayed most hard for. the things i was never sure i would have.
i toast the mamas who cringe at the “normalize breastfeeding” hashtag while silently wishing they could also erase the stigma thrown onto formula feeding families. i see you.
to celebrate our thirtieth birthdays and kick off the next decade of our lives, my mister and i traveled to the holy land on an epic pilgrimage. one of the most powerful moments of our trip came as we waded into the cool water of the jordan river. there in the same waters where john baptized jesus, we were baptized.
