  • C Section Recovery – Not Quite By the Book

    This week, I sent out an email to my client list regretfully letting them know I’d be extending maternity leave by 2 weeks. It’s a fine line on the internet – I don’t like to be a Debbie Downer, but the truth is, my C section recovery with Joy hasn’t been a total walk in…

  • Welcome Baby Girl Calvert!

    Today we welcome baby girl Joy Newton Calvert to our family! Joy was born this morning at 7:50am, and clocked in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long – just one ounce heavier than her brother Phil’s birth weight! It’s felt like such a long, emotional journey for Joy to join our family,…

You might be asking someone who doesn’t want more kids, for sure. But then… you could be innocently asking someone who’s had a…

  • Your Eyes Decieve You…

    So a few months after I got pregnant with Phil, my contact lenses stopped being comfortable and I switched back to glasses full time. It didn’t seem too strange to me; I had read that your eyes can get really dry when you’re prego. So when Phil was born, I tried wearing contacts again and…
