Turning a routine into a @ritual every Monday - Sunday. It starts with a warm bath and ends with my prenatal vitamin for the growing human inside my belly. Something for me, something for her. Every single night :) I’m often asked about what prenatals I take, and these multivitamins tick all boxes: vegan friendly, non-GMO and have all ingredients I was looking for in a prenatal! Plus they don’t make me nauseous due to a delayed-release capsule design AND smell like lemon🍋 34 weeks in, only a few more to go until this little pop of sunshine arrives!✨Try them for yourself with code LESLEY10 for 10% off your first 3 months. #ritualpartner
It’s a surreal moment to feel my baby kicking inside me while watching my grandmother slip away. The circle of life is as beautiful as it is cruel. We all know it, but that doesn’t mean it gets any easier. My Mimi got her wings early this morning while my mom held her hand for a peaceful send off to be reunited with my Granddaddy. I feel the weight of the moment as I type. It feels heavy even though her soul passed a long time ago. Alzheimer’s is an ugly disease, stripping away the very essence of a person and any sense of knowing. I’m grateful to have been given the chance to hold her hand, study her face and run my fingers over her porcelain skin one last time. We’re left here earth side with the beautiful legacy she left behind of giving life to so many...always here in spirit with her infectious laugh and brilliant red hair to match her firecracker attitude...tearing up the dance floor, Grandaddy in one hand and a scotch in the other. As tears streamed down my face this morning, I watched the sunrise etch across the sky, envisioning her on the back of my Grandaddy’s Harley Davidson, riding into the bright colors✨The pain is big because the love is big. Until we meet again, Mimi🤍
"’Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end.' she said. Love doesn't." -Mitch Albom

I honestly didn’t know a lot about labor, delivery, postpartum and the like until now. I’ve watched from afar as my sister and friends have had kids, but I knew @drone.pilot and I needed some prep work. We just finished @tinyhood’s Childbirth 101 class from labor to postpartum, and I seriously feel soooo much better/more confident heading into this next chapter! We took it on our own time and processed so much important information that we didn’t know. One of my favorite parts was watching Alex’s knowledge grow so much and find a new, deep appreciation for the female body. Creation is truly amazing, and we can’t wait to meet our girl so soon!
