Ok if anyone actually believes that this is what motherhood really looks like, you're insane! I had been wanting to get dressed for my first post-partum outfit post for a few days, and finally found a window between feedings where the baby was sleeping, the weather was good, and I had enough energy to stay upright for a while.
Pre-baby, I had been reading a lot more than usual because it helped me calm down before bed, and we had spent so many weekend days at the beach, aka my favorite place to dig into a good book. Since Amalia's arrival, I haven't cracked one open yet, but I'm hoping to get back into it in the next few months.
Although I've always been fascinated with other mothers' birth stories, you never really can imagine exactly what birth is like without going through it. Before giving birth, most of the ones that I had heard were either nightmares (For some reason, people love to tell you their horrible experiences when you're pregnant followed by "but that won't happen to you!") or not detailed enough for me to fully understand what I was in for.
Happy Monday from the baby girl nursery! Never have I ever been more excited for a room reveal. Amalia's nursery is far and away my favorite room in our house, and not just because she lives in it. The light is beautiful, and it has an amazing energy to it. This room used to be my home office, but it's closest to our bedroom so we decided to turn it into the nursery instead.
