musings from maternity leave🤰🏻

These 2 cutie cows were the last orders I shipped out before putting the shop on “vacation mode” - and lemme tell you, it was bittersweet!

We’re on the cusp of adding another baby girl to our family, and I feel so buzzy + electric in anticipation.

Crochet is my way of calming my nerves and racing thoughts >> I’m hoping to make baby sister a mini snuggler and sunburst lovey before she makes her debut, but it also feels like we have so much on our to-do list before she comes.

I keep reminding myself - we ARE ready. She has clothes, diapers, a place to sleep. The basics. All the extra stuff would be convenient but not necessary.

So here’s that list…

Things I wanna accomplish before 👶🏻: ✨ finish decorating her wildflower-themed room ✨ meal prep a big batch of freezer breakfast burritos ✨ clean/organize my dresser with nursing essentials ✨ wrap up a big sis/little sis gift for their hospital meet ✨ write out a “toddler 101” guide for the grandparents ✨ avocado dye some onesies and burp clothes

plus a bunch of little things I most likely won’t get to, but a prego girl can dream right?

Thanks for all the love and support during this whole journey! It means the absolute world! 🌸
