So where did we leave off yesterday? OH yeah, it was the third week of Aria’s existence and I was already failing as a mom! She had the absolute worst cold, she was so congested she couldn’t even drink milk properly. It was the absolute worst feeling to know that she was not well, and […]

Today we’re going to take a stroll down memory lane, back to the first few weeks of mommyhood. It seems like it was a lifetime ago, but at the same time it feels like just yesterday! How is that possible? We brought Aria home on December 23rd around 4:30 p.m. My story is a little […]
