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.

Family farm fun for a special girls not traditional (but so perfectly her) bat mitzvah. Oh this photo: Griffin is actually screaming and squirming for me to let him run free- but it looked like he was happy so we will go with it.

Felt so good to be in the city teaching some bad ass women for a PURPOSE! @pilateswpurpose thanks for having me ❤️ and for giving back for the last 4 years! #boston #pilates #teacher #fitness #charity

26.3 - I have been waiting for this day for 26 weeks and 3 days. I am officially the most pregnant I have ever been. G was born when I was THIS pregnant. I have held this baby. I know what it looks like, smells like, the sound of their cry, how their skin is almost translucent and their ears are flappy because cartilage has not yet formed. However, I don’t know what it’s like to have a big belly, sleepless pregnant nights, swollen feet and feeling “ready” to have a baby. Mentally getting to this point was not easy. Bring it on. Every day from here is gravy. Grow-healthy baby, grow. #mama #pregnant #justkeepswimming #teamgriff

Two less (super awesome) fish in the sea. We love you Adam and Michelle ❤️such a fun night celebrating with so many childhood friends. @atelian

Happy Papa’s day! We love you soooo much ❤️ Trying to get G to look at the camera isn’t so easy these days. #soccer #fathersday #fatherson @swooshbb

Sometimes it’s hard for me to admit, or to even say out loud- I didn’t have an instant love for Griffin when he was born. So many moms talk about loving their baby the moment they found out they were pregnant or falling in love with them the instant they were placed on their chest. Neither of those were true for me.
•
Moments after G was born he was wheeled away to the NICU and Brandon followed close behind. I was still in the hospital bed and my parents were allowed in the room. I looked at my mom and tried to say in the nicest way possible that I wasn’t sure if I loved my baby. She touched my head and said “sometimes it takes time”. About 30 minutes after his birth the nurse told me I could go down to the NICU to see him. I said “no, I’ll go back to my room”. Brandon was next to me and said he would do whatever I wanted. My mom encouraged me to go to the NICU, and I’m glad she did.
•
For a long time I held a block. I was scared to love, I didn’t know if I would ever bring my fragile baby home.
•
There was not an aha moment when my love exploded for Griffin, nothing that clicked, or changed, in me or him.
•
But one thing I can say with confidence now: I couldn’t be more obsessed with this amazing human and I am so thankful everyday that I am his Mama.

Red cabbage, Carrot and Apple Slaw. 🙌 This stuff is no joke seriously delicious. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
~ 1/2 of medium sized red cabbage - cut out core and chop nice and small
~ 1 green apple 🍏 slice into small thin strips (think how can I cut it so it’s easy to eat)
~ 2 medium to large carrots shredded 🥕🥕 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕 🥕🥕 🥕🥕🥕 🥕
Dressing:
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3tbs EVOO
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix dressing then pour on top of slaw. Let it sit at room temp for at least an hour then serve or place in fridge. The next day tastes even ether. Enjoy!

This kid was living the life with his grandparents for the last 2 days. Sleeping past 9, ice cream and cookies, Moana, fancy bubble baths and being fed fresh pasta (picture shown). I’m just waiting for him to ask for ice cream tomorrow morning for breakfast🙈
