http://somewherebrightandnew.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-night-before-end-of-maternity-leave.html
Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Twas the Night Before the End of Maternity Leave. As I lay here listening to my husband snore away on my right and my baby snore through the monitor on my left (my new symphony of happiness) I find myself so overcome with emotion that I need to write it out. Oh man, Mommy guilt. There are so many different versions: Moms who work but feel guilty about not being home. And let's face it, if I'm going to be a working mom, ...

Somewhere Bright and New: Changing Inside and Out
http://somewherebrightandnew.blogspot.com/2015/03/changing-inside-and-out.html
Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Changing Inside and Out. This past December, I changed my life. I was settling into my groove as a working Mom and learning to balance it all. I was happy to be back at work, Eliza was thriving, and things were good. But, I just wasn't feeling like myself. Starting the detox was a revelation for me. It finally made sense and was so simple. For the longest time, I thought I was having trouble with. I learned so much through ...

Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Sunday, September 28, 2014. As they upped the Pitocin, I was starting to gradually feel the contractions growing stronger. They started as uncomfortable and quickly escalated to painful. I continued using our hypnobirthing techniques and staying focused. The contractions were more manageable when I was standing or sitting on a birthing ball.they were completely horrible if I was laying down (remember this! And we were just over the moon! A CUP OF JO.

Somewhere Bright and New: "I Will Never..."
http://somewherebrightandnew.blogspot.com/2014/10/will-never.html
Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Saturday, October 11, 2014. Having sweet Eliza was the most humbling experience of my life. It has been enough to bring this confident Momma crashing down to a big ol bag of unsure and insecure. We are still learning about each other and loving every minute, but it's been a long time since I've been new to something and haven't been able to dive right in and get it right! I will NEVER get an epidural. I will NEVER let my doctor induce me. Have a Lo...

Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. I Will Never (II). I will NEVER get an epidural. I will NEVER let my doctor induce me. I will NEVER give my baby formula. I will NEVER bring my baby into the bed. I will NEVER eat bad food after having the baby. How else will I lose that weight? I will NEVER skip tummy time. I will NEVER ask my husband for PERMISSION to do something! He doesn't own me! No, but he will need to watch the kid.). I Will Never (II).

Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Sunday, March 15, 2015. I stepped on the scale today and I'm officially .5 pounds LESS than my pre-pregnancy weight! It took a little over 2 months, thanks to Arbonne's 28 Day Detox and what it taught me. My half marathon is next Sunday! I'm so excited. After that, I'm going to refocus on weight training with heavy weight. What everyone says about your body not looking the same after a baby is SO true. Where in the world did my butt go? You started...

Somewhere Bright and New: August 2014
http://somewherebrightandnew.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Saturday, August 23, 2014. If she doesn't come this weekend, it's safe to say she'll be here next week. The past few days have really been the first uncomfortable days. I've felt a lot of back pain and cramps. I had a biophysical ultrasound and Non-Stress Test so we know she is all safe and sound in there! The plus side, if I make it to Monday and the first day back at work, I get to pick up a few more days of paid maternity leave! I'm currently 38...

Somewhere Bright and New. Sail away, kill off the hours. Friday, June 27, 2014. Size of the Baby:. Eliza is the size of a jicama. Whatever that is! I'm squishing myself into my Lululemon workout tops.they're nice and loose so they give me space in the belly. We've picked up our dresser we had refinished! It was Ryan's grandfather's and was in his room growing up. We had the stain match the crib and it's absolutely beautiful! When we get back from the beach, I'll finally be able to organize her room!
