Not my favorite photos of the series, and not my favorite shirt in the world – I just had had several dark shirts in a row and wanted something brighter in the picture. haha. I feel like I’m getting huge, but I know this is only the beginning!
…and I’ve been sitting here with this window open for over half an hour, and can’t think of anything else to write. The baby stole my brain. So this is all you get. Don’t even ask how long it took me to write my “dear baby” note today!


Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.





Too adorable. I so wish I would have done this. When your baby is getting big, you'll be able to look back and see the wonderful growth and progression of your pregnancy. Not to mention it will be neat to read about each week during her's! (Seems like a long way off, but man does it go fast!) Any name ideas yet?

This is such an amazing thing that you are doing for your baby. When she is grown up and about to have babies of her own and she reads this… there is just nothing to describe that type of experience. It is truly special! How wonderful that you are doing this for her!
I can so much difference from the pic 2 weeks ago. I really like the colors in all your pictures Emily. Matching the font and the blouse is a cool idea.
You look unabiguously pregnant! Woo, girl! This is SO THRILLING.
Oh you're still small yet.
It's cool to see a week-by-week progression though. It's amazing how much you change over just a matter of days.
