Hi Balanced Beauties! This post on postpartum has been a long time coming! Between having a newborn, COVID-19, losing my grandfather in these difficult circumstances and having both friends and family affected deeply by COVID, it's been a very chaotic time to say the least. I have tried to sit down to write this post over and over, but now I have finally made the effort to collect my thoughts and type out an honest blog post about my postpartum experience.

Birth Story
Hi Balanced Beauties! I've been so excited about sharing my pregnancy journey and will continue to do so regarding postpartum and "mom" life. I'll try to share the good, the bad and the ugly, as I did with my personal pregnancy experience.

I am finally carving out the time to write a quick post detailing our "babymoon" in Bermuda! For our babymoon, we decided to go to Bermuda and I am so glad we chose this location for our last getaway before baby Reed arrives.
