Our baby bird decided to come a little early! We welcomed Wyatt Elizabeth on 4/18 and we couldn’t be more in love💕. She weighed 6 lbs 12oz and was 19.5 inches long. I feel so blessed right now to have this little girl in our lives and to be her mommy! #fresh48 #babygirl

All this crib needs now is a little baby girl💕 #patientlywaiting #lovemypbk @projectnursery #projectnursery
I have to admit that I’m not very good at relaxing unless I’m sick, hungover, or 38 weeks pregnant. For some reason, I have this sick obsession with checking off my to-do list, however, this past week or so I’ve been a bit more bed bound whether I like it or not. With a brand new baby right around the corner, I’m trying to enjoy this peace and quiet but does anyone else ever struggle with this? Am I a fool for not taking advantage every quiet minute I have right now?!
I’ve been making these #paleo zucchini muffins on repeat for the past two weekends and already have them on my list for this weekend!
With my sweet tooth at an all time high, I’ve been looking for recipes that still count as a dessert but are a bit on the healthier side. I followed the @ambitiouskitchen kitchen recipe - see below - but added in some slivered almonds and dark chocolate chips and it was divine!
1 c. shredded zucchini
1 mashed banana
3/4 c. cashew butter
1/4 c. pure maple syrup (or agave)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 c. coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Squeeze any excess liquid from the zucchini. Add zucchini, mashed banana, cashew butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix well. Then add the dry ingredients - coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Divide batter between 10 muffin cups or pour into greased muffin pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until slightly golden brown!
It seems like just yesterday when I took this announcement photo (swipe left)! Today marks #37weeks and the countdown is on, thankfully!
As easy of a pregnancy I had, no one tells you how hard it really can be physically. Some days I feel like myself, but other days I feel like I single handedly took down of bottle of wine the night before - although I’m not going to lie, I am looking forward to a glass of 🍷.
I have so much more respect for all other mamas out there! Through it all @dittibop01 was my rock, and we feel so insanely fortunate that we are able to bring this little girl into the world soon💕
