pregnancy food
I didn’t have any cravings when I was pregnant with Leo. There were things that sounded really really good, but nothing that was do-or-die. I guess I always assumed cravings were more intense from...

Movement: baby girl moves fairly often, but seems more mellow than Leo (or at least if I remember correctly). She kicks but it’s just a few times and then she settles down. Since I’m more active...

After 30 weeks where salad sounded like the worst thing ever to me, I finally have been eating them again. Gamechanger: a sweet and sour dressing recipe from my friend. I’ve been loving it with...

A couple more baby-related things knocked off the list this weekend. 1. A few extra cloth diapers. Leo doesn’t use that many diapers per day anymore, but newborns sure do, so we wanted to get just a...
