    Is hiring a doula worth it?

    After literal years of our TTC/infertility journey and a rollercoaster ride of a pregnancy, we are finally on the other side. My little one is here!

    My final pregnancy podcast before BABY!

    The time has finally come: This is my LAST PODCAST EPISODE before our baby girl arrives! By the time you're listening to this, hopefully we are in the early stages of newborn life and thriving (or at least surviving) on limited sleep and cuddles. But at the time of recording, I am uncomfortably pregnant and just a few days (!!) away from giving birth! Tune in as I share how I've spent my final days/weeks of pregnancy, what I learned at my last OB appointment, the plans for my induction, and a special message to all of the lovely listeners who have been with me on this journey!

    What last minute baby prep did we do?

    In the final weeks/months of pregnancy leading up to baby's arrival, what did we do to prepare ourselves and our home? Did we prioritize the right tasks and is it ever possible to feel fully ready for a newborn? In this week's episode I'll go through the to-do list and schedule my husband and I put together for our last minute baby prep - including making freezer meals, testing out baby gear and finalizing our birth plan. I'll share what we did, why the timing worked (or didn't!) and how I felt about all of our prep. Want to share your pregnancy or TTC journey? Have feedback for the podcast?
