What a friggin whirlwind. 😳 I have so much to say, but I’m too sleep deprived and delirious to really articulate it all how I want to, but what I will say is- God bless all yall parents out there. Never in my life could I have imagined all that parenthood requires. It truly takes a village and my God I’m so grateful for the one we have. From coming by and holding the baby, calls to encourage us, sending thoughtful and helpful gifts and parenting hacks, to simply just being on the phone to listen to me cry at 3 in the morning. Thaaaank you a million times over!!!🙏🏾
Thank you to our amazing midwife @midwifeangelina who ushered our baby girl Earth side!! We started our pregnancy journey intending a hospital birth, but that shifted late in the game for us and I’m so glad it did! Everything truly happens for a reason and being at home was an incredible experience and opportunity for our whole family. I have so much I want to talk about as it pertains to our journey in how we landed at this decision and what it was like. So, more to come!
Thank you to my bomb doula and lactation consultant- Jamecia!! You kept it light, funny, and informative always. @a_baby_consultant_llc
And Columbia @solphotoco for coming through and capturing these beautiful images for our family to remember the moment forever!!
And thank you to my Momma who came down and spent weeks with us helping us figure out up from down, left from right. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and in awe of you, Mom. And seeing you still taking care of me at my big grown age 😩🤣 (yall I’m talking rubbing my back and head as I cry in her lap cuz I don’t know wtf I’m doing and who trusted me with a whole human!), to cooking for us, and being the daily in home daycare so we could get more than 90mins of sleep at a time. I love you and appreciate you dearly!
And Thank yall, here on the Gram, for your encouragement and excitement throughout this pregnancy and for all of your well wishes. Baby Girl and I are well and her Daddy has been holding us both down like no other. Hoping to share more as we go along, but judging how its taken me a month to get this post up 😩😩 who knows!! 🤣🤣Love yall and thank you!!
Higher. Further. Faster. Together.

You know I’ll be down here tryna do a lil sum sum in ya honor just so you can hype me up and simultaneously tell me “everything aint for everybody, but you look good, boo!” (even when we both know i don’t 😩🤣) You always saw the best in everyone. One of the MANY AMAZING things about you.
