I prepared myself for this moment, knowing it would be beyond emotional. Little does Griffin know, as he is meeting his little brother for the first time, that he was that baby, in that crib, living in that hospital, covered in those monitors and having the same parents wondering when he would come home and if he would be OK. And look at him now. Our miracles. #nicu #homecoming #brothers

Yesterday morning my heart became full again. After 2 months in the NICU August Oz came home. So thankful for all my friends, family, and the NICU team who got us to this point. I’m totally crying in this photo 😭 my boys are homeeeee!

Just so I can remember these moments... One day you will be a “cordless baby” as your papa calls it. #nicu #preemie #baby #augustoz

G: “you want me to do what?” Me “hold this sign”
Brandon “now look at mama”
Me “now say cheese”
Brandon “hold the sign up.. a little higher... ok higher”

First day of Montessori school for Griffin! No tears on either end. Are we not normal?! I asked him what he did in school and he said ate almond butter and played with markers. Both untrue. 😂

That’s Griffin, skipping, holding his Nanou’s hand. Brandon and I did the hand off to my parents so that we could visit August. It warmed my heart to see how happy he was to grab his grandmas hand. The joy is in his feet. Juggling multiple kids is never easy- and I’m not taking for granted all the extra hands helping us make this transition a lot better.

This time around the NICU days are flying by and I’m dreaming of taking this dude home. People keep asking when - and doctors keep saying by their due date. Gus still needs more time, and mama will be here every step of the way to guide you home. Happy one month AO. #preemie #1month #31weeker #boston #augustoz

There are few moments when I breakdown. I am no super hero, but this time around I find less time to dwell or realize where I am in the current moment. But then something hits me and I realize what Brandon and my family are pushing though.

I missed August’s first bath. I wasn’t there. Later that day I found out, from a very beautiful and loving nurse, that he had a bath and I lost it. I tried to hold back my tears and smile but I cried- hard. How could I miss my baby’s first bath?
But here I am giving August his second bath, and it feels oh so very special.

This. The last belly bump pic I took. I knew in my heart it would be my last- I had August 24 hours later. I chose to wear my “good vibes” shirt and in my other hand I have Griffins clothes for the day. I put him in this “kindness” shirt. I wanted to keep my mind focused in a positive direction, even though I knew I was in for another adventure. #nicu #preemie #31weeker

August Oz coming in at 3.25lbs. We made it to 31 weeks! My boys like to make some grand entrances. ❤️ Please send some positive thoughts, vibes and prayers. We hope for an uneventful NICU stay and for our family of four to be together soon. #31weeker #AugustOz

“Look mama, I draw piggy” 🐷 I think I am just so excited by his drawing skills because I have NONE! #pig #art #toddler

I have to modify more than I’d like and my teaching schedule has slowed down but my intensity, passion and love has not. Catch me tomorrow at @equinox Dartmouth Street 12 - and on Saturday at 9:30am at @asanacharlestown

THIRD TRIMESTER. Uncharted territory.

Thankful for every second this baby stays inside and keeps cooking. Every second.

This time around is so different. When I was pregnant with Griffin I took for granted what a miracle it is to conceive, grow, deliver, and take home your baby. I know too much now, have seen too much, heard too much and been through too much for me not to be affected. I actually miss my naiveness, I miss not worrying and just assuming everything will, of course, be fine.
We all know not everything goes to plan, so for now I am taking a day at a time.
I remember when Griffin was in the NICU and for months following, I couldn’t look at a pregnant person without welting up. I couldn’t look at any social media outlet that was undoubtedly covered in all baby posts- even commercials with moms giving birth and having their baby placed on their chest. I just couldn’t.
It is not lost on me- those of you who have experienced loss, still birth, miscarriage, premature birth, those who are struggling to get pregnant and those who spent years to do so. I know how painful it can be. I just want to say my heart is always with you.
