My little sidekick is already two months old! As I write this, my little man is sleeping all snuggled up against my chest: his little hand gripping my sweater. Every few minutes he chuckles or smiles in his sleep. A friend told me that once my baby came, that I wouldn’t remember a time when …
Baby boy is six weeks old! The last few weeks have gone by so fast! Gideon is such a blessing. He is honestly such a chill little dude. Even in the hospital, everyone remarked over how relaxed he was, and that has continued. He slept constantly for the first two weeks, only waking to eat, …
This baby boy has turned our lives upside down, in the best possible way. Gideon is six weeks in a few days, but it still feels like I’ve barely begun to figure out this new mama life! I went into this, thinking that I knew a lot about babies, but there have been so many things …
Today, we are finishing up the second part of Gideon’s birth story. If you missed the first part, you can read it here! Thursday August 10th When I left off with the first part of the birth story, they had just finished the C-section, lifted me on to a rolling bed, and rolled me (with …

And just like that: I’m at the end of my pregnancy. This pregnancy has included a lot of things I didn’t expect, and didn’t include a few things I took for granted. In the first trimester, I wasn’t terribly nauseous in all those beginning weeks, when my fellow preggo-pals were struggling to keep a meal down. In …
Hi, I’m Bethany! As of today, I am a stay-at-home-mom. Yesterday was my last day working as a chiropractor’s assistant–a job that I enjoyed for the past two and a half years. I saw my last patient, gave my last nutritional consult, and shut the computer down for the last time. I am trading in …
