Baby Must Haves For #2

February 12, 2017March 14, 2017 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments

One would think when you have the second kid, especially if they are the same gender as the first, you in theory shouldn’t really need anything when it comes to baby gear. While that was mostly true for us, the first baby always provides a nice learning curve and some trial and error, so byRead more

Eva’s Birth Story: A Home Waterbirth

January 20, 2017January 20, 2017 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Eva’s birth story isn’t the one I expected to tell. Both of our girls’ pregnancies and births happened in the midst of so much change and chaos. With Aubrey we found out we were pregnant while we were still stationed in South Dakota. I spent a few months living in North Carolina with my parentsRead more

Taking Elephant For A Walk

October 26, 2016October 23, 2016 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

I thought bringing elephant along would make a cute prop. As is turns out, walking elephants requires near constant attention. One must make sure they are upright, and in fact moving in a forward direction. And make sure their string remains untangled.  Of course you don’t want to pay such close attention to your ellieRead more

There are a lot of things I expected as we look forward to expanding our family this January.

Baby Must Haves 6-12m

Each new phase your little one goes through presents it’s own sets of challenges and rewards. I personally felt like with each month that passed life got a little easier bit by bit. We stopped swaddling around 3 months, ditched the paci then as well. Solids coming into the picture majorly changed things. In aRead more

Most Used Baby Products Newborn to Six Months

January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 - Lauren Jamison 1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while now, and was recently reminded it’s still relevant when one of my friends asked for baby registry recommendations. I think there are two schools of thought when it comes to registering and preparing for a new addition. One wants any and every gadget and supplyRead more

My Postpartum NON-Fitness

June 3, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Interesting fact. Two days after Aubrey was born Will looked up at me as he hovered over our new little smush, and with wide excited eyes proclaimed, “I want more babies. I know I never wanted babies, but this makes me want more babies.” I thought surely, once the newness wore off a little, andRead more

How I’m Feeling About My Postpartum Body

November 6, 2014 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

Gosh isn’t that the million dollar question. I surprised myself with pregnancy. For years leading up to making the decision to go for it, I worried about what carrying a baby would do to my body. I’ve never been of model proportions, but I have always been on the thinner side, and for the mostRead more

Will and I have a number of travel bucket list items we hope to check off in our lifetimes. One that I didn’t know of Will’s was to see the Maginot Line.  I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I did not do a great job of paying attention in my high school history classes, soRead more

October 17, 2014October 14, 2015 - Lauren Jamison Leave a comment

We knew our time was getting close, and each day we woke up trying to determine how I was feeling and if we could venture out again. Luckily I made it to the weekend and we were able to visit Heidelberg for it’s annual Fall Festival. This town was just incredibly beautiful, with a gorgeousRead more
