Where did the time go…Bean has been here for 9 months (9.5 actually)! I can barely remember what life was like without him…except that I got more sleep! Who needs sleep when I get to witness him grow each and every day?! So what’s new with our 9 month-old? Well, he’s has 4 teeth and…

Postpartum Hair Loss?
While I was pregnant, I saw so much about postpartum hair loss and constantly asked myself, “Why has no one talked about this before?” Then I thought that maybe it wouldn’t happen to me. Well, guess what? It happened to me.
What are you feeding that baby?!
Nursing was one of my mommy goals from the time I started thinking about life with Bean…around the second trimester. I read about a lot of mom’s experiences and talked to friends that decided for or against breastfeeding. It didn’t become a reality for me until I began seeing milk expressed while I was in…

The whole appointment was actually pretty underwhelming LOL. Of course I was running late to the appointment that was most time sensitive….
Adulting 2.0
Time feels like it’s flying and my emotions are all over the place. On the one hand, I feel calm about meeting Bean and embarking on the journey of parenthood. On the other hand, I’m realizing this may be the busiest year in my adult life (thus far). Not only am I preparing to being…
New York to D.C.
So it’s been a crazy week in the Nation’s capital. There have been a lot of changes and even more protests. Last weekend was a blur for me (hence the radio silence here) and I’m just now able to somewhat gather my thoughts about a few things. I had the opportunity to run for…
