• *SWIPE OVER* to see the last time I wore this dress- little did I know that I would be having a baby in just a few hours!! 😳 I personally prefer the more recent picture, with Oliver in my arms vs in my belly. 😉 This dress is literally a unicorn- same dress, works with or without a bump! Size up one! 👌🏻 I’m in a medium in both pictures. Super flattering AND on sale as part of the @nordstrom half yearly sale! I’m sharing all my favorite picks on the blog- katiedidwhat.com (link in bio) 💕 #ad #nordstrom
  • I had my 2 week postpartum OB appointment yesterday. Yes, 2 weeks. 🙌🏻 It’s a new thing my OB and her practice are doing, and I find it so vital to postpartum health! It can feel like once you have the baby, they don’t care about you anymore. But there’s so much going on, so many emotions and physical changes. So much unknown. Overwhelm. Anxiety. Fear. Confusion. It can all be there, and that’s all 100% normal. But if it goes unnoticed, or swept under the rug, it can become something very scary. And when they send you home with your new baby and say “See ya in 6 weeks!” it feels like they reallyyyy don’t care about you. And it’s nice to be seen. And heard. So yay for progressive doctors who “get it” and understand the importance of this precious and delicate 4th trimester. 💕 || My new favorite necklaces, beautifully made, with each of my baby’s initials 😭😍 and a “mama” bar from @madebymarywithlove- I’ll cherish them forever, far beyond this 4th trimester. ✨ http://liketk.it/2C2qD #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Happy due date, Baby Boy! 🥰 We’re all pretty happy you came 2 weeks early, so we could love on you that much longer. 💕 Annnnd honestly, I can’t imagine being pregnant right now. 🤣😳🙌🏻 #2weeksold || We had his 2 week well baby today, and he’s growing- 8 lb 6 oz and 21 inches! 🥰 Almost caught up to his birthweight! Nice to know this around-the-clock nursing is paying off! 😜 http://liketk.it/2C0PG #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • First date night out, post-baby!!! 💃🏻 Zack and I got out for our anniversary last night, and honestly, date nights look a little different now (baby tagging along, nursing breaks and diaper changes in the car) but it was so much fun and such a sweet and welcomed new “normal.” 🥰 Plus, we’ve got the cutest +1, and he was so good and slept all through dinner!! 🙌🏻 || outfit linked in the @liketoknow.it app! http://liketk.it/2BZgs #liketkit
  • Oliver Lucca is 2 weeks old today! 💕 Today’s plans: snuggle this little babe. Take naps. Eat all of the food. Drink all of the water. Feed him around the clock. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. 🥰 This is the life. #2weeksold #oliverdidwhat
  • 8 years married, today. 🥰 To my love, my husband, my forever, the father of my babies, my own personal chef, the one who keeps me grounded and puts up with my crazy. The level-minded one. My calm, my rock, my everything. Look at all we’ve done in 8 years! It’s incredible. I’m so blessed to have you. Thank you for choosing me, over and over, every single day. I’ll keep choosing you, too. Today, tomorrow, and every day after. I’m yours. 💗 http://liketk.it/2BXqL #liketkit @liketoknow.it || We’re going out on our first post-baby date night tonight!!! 💃🏻 With Baby, of course. 😜 Pretty excited about it!
  • When it’s raining outside and you’re living that postpartum life, you strap the newborn to you and have a picnic in the garage! 🙌🏻 Scrunchie and a high ponytail, babywearing, iced coffee, all of the water, and our new favorite snack: @sistersfruitcompany apple chips! They’re seriously delicious- the whole family is hooked! 👌🏻 They’re all-natural and a small family business that uses locally sourced fruit (Pacific Northwest) and take their unused by-products to convert into renewable green energy! Amazing! 🙌🏻 Now, please share your favorite snacks in the comments! I am constantly starving these days and need all of the snack suggestions!! 😋🐄🤣 http://liketk.it/2BWJD #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I wrote this on the car ride home from my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner on Saturday night. The whole day was just really tough with Sam. He was irritable, his frustration was high, he had random outbursts of anger and sadness- all things that come with the territory of “Autism” but that we haven’t seen in…

MY BOY

Deep breath. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever shared here, but I know this will help someone feel not alone- even just one person, as I have so often felt. Sharing, being open and vulnerable, it’s what makes us human, it’s what brings us together. It’s what makes these things a little less scary….
