Introducing...


She's here! And a week old at that (if you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know this). Introducing Lily Grace, our sweet little baby girl. We are so thrilled she's here and so perfectly sweet and squishy and delicious. This whole newborn thing is so much easier to enjoy the third time around.

I'm currently working on the full birth story, but guys, it's a bit of a doozy. I'm on page 7 and not done yet (I will try to trim it down before foisting it on you here). Apparently I'm using this birth story as a sort of cathartic writing process to sort through all of my thoughts and feelings about how intense the end of this pregnancy was for me. But once I get it in a presentable form, I'll get it up.

For now, here are just a few more pictures for you to enjoy. Newborns are the dreamiest.




I still consider myself on maternity leave, so I can't promise how regular posting will be around here for the next little while, but as we get more into a new routine hopefully I'll find some more time to pick back up here. I've got so many bookish things to talk about!

  1. She is just the sweetest. I see a little of Josh in her in that first photo. I'm looking forward to the full birth story (don't edit out too much, haha!). Congratulations again!

    1. I'm impressed you can see the resemblance, but apparently everyone else can too (that's basically the first comment everyone makes). But yes, she looks quite a bit like baby Josh (and her father too).

  3. Sweet baby! I can't believe how squishy her cheeks are! I agree she looks like Josh with her eyes open, but the first one with her eyes closed and that cute chin reminds me of my Tanner!

    1. She definitely has a lot of the Tanner side in her. According to your mom, she actually looks quite a bit like Nathan as a baby, so we'll see what Nathan's features turn out like on a girl.

  4. Congratulations on your beautiful baby. I second Amy! I can't wait for the (only slightly edited) version of the birth story. I love birth stories.
