Bedtime party with the sweetest girls 💕#besties

One year!! So many mixed feelings (see post from yesterday) ... This past year has truly been a lesson in living in and enjoying the present. But time flies. And even when you’re excited about what’s next, it is always sad for a chapter to end. It has been amazing to witness the daily growth and evolution of this tiny human. Josephine is smart, funny, super sweet, very active and extremely strong willed — not sure where she gets that from! 😏 She makes me laugh every day and makes friends everywhere we go. Jo, you light up each day and bring me more joy than I ever could have imagined. My hope is that you will always treat others with kindness and have the courage to speak up for what’s right. Love you forever! 💕 #happybirthday #babygirl #oneyearold #tongueouteveryday

One year ago I snapped this picture before my 39-week OB appointment. I was only 1cm dilated, and my induction was already scheduled for the following week. We were still finishing a bathroom renovation, hence the butcher paper on the floor! That evening after my uneventful checkup, we ate Mexican food and went home to bed. I still had a list of things to wrap up at work, but otherwise, we were “ready” in terms of having all the things you think you need. Nursery set up. Bags packed. Car seats installed. But you can never be fully prepared for all the things that come with bringing a new life into this crazy world. Becoming a mother has changed me in countless ways — and still is doing so. In some ways I don’t recognize the person in this photo. It is the hardest and most wonderful thing I have and probably will ever do. The juxtaposition of emotions is WILD. The guilt and anxiety is very real and constant. And the love is completely and totally overwhelming in the best way possible. This past year has taught me so much, especially how to rely on others, ask for help and know that I’m not alone in this journey. (Ok, I’m still working on those things!) I am beyond grateful for my husband, family and friends who have given support, offered guidance and shared in both the laughs and the tears. Now get ready for another sappy post tomorrow because – spoiler alert! – I went into labor the next morning. #oneyearlater #motherhood #momtruth #andithoughtiwastiredthen

New shoes, who dis?

Sunday sweetness. 💕 #latergram

She was more interested in the rocks and leaves than the water but definitely had a good time! 💦 @crosstownconcourse #splashpad

Can’t believe this girl turned #11monthsold yesterday ... we’ll be celebrating the big ONE so very soon!

Had such a blast with my #pc03 #aggiezeta ladies this weekend ... topped it off by spending today with mini-@mrsresa ♥️#zlam #mydietstartstomorrow
