baby bowl b-side: his birth story

November 17, 2016

So I was a little hesitant to share this post.  I had so many emotions over the fact that Luke was born by C-section, but didn't want to write anything negative about it, because we don't want to forget for a second how fortunate we are to have had our little man, however he arrived.  Still, in the weeks leading up to Luke’s arrival, I found other ...

So, this wedding planning thing, huh? As it turns out, I'm not the most decisive person in the world. (Bowl #2, who is now diametrically opposed to the phrase "It's up to you," is probably laughing ...
