The Meeting of the Brothers.
When we brought Arlo home, Sully’s world was rocked. I spent the first three days feeling guilty. I worried that I hadn’t prepared Sullivan enough for the role of big brother. I worried that he would feel neglected. I worried that Arlo wasn’t going to get the attention Sully did as a newborn. Slowly, these [...]
Body After Baby Dos: One Week Later.
I forgot how scary it can be to look in the mirror the first time after giving birth. Your body has had to grow and change an incredible amount in a relatively short time, and the results are not always so pretty…though the end product is most definitely worth it. I think the hardest part [...]
The calm before the storm…and what’s in a name?
Last week, we had a big vacation planned to Tybee Island. Tybee is located off the coast of Georgia and is sleepy enough to be incredibly relaxing despite a history of rough waters and shark attacks. When my mom asked when they should book their vacation, I decided that 38 weeks pregnant was a good [...]
The Birth of Arlo [Part Two]
This is part two…so head here to catch up on part one. I’ve gotten quite a bit of feed back from the first part of Arlo’s birth story. Most of it has been incredibly supportive and kind. It means so much to me to hear these kind words and thoughtful replies. However, some of the [...]

When Sully Met Arlo.
Sully came home from vacation at the beach with his Poppy, Gigi, Nana, and Aunt Moo to find an entirely different life and a strange new creature waiting for him. He’s not quite sure what to think. On one hand, Arlo is new and interesting and smells nice. On the other, he’s “Yuck” and taking [...]
The Birth of Arlo Jameson [Part One]
Let me begin by saying this is not the birth story I had planned. But that’s okay. Our little boy is here safe. I am safe. And I am 100% with the way our birth story unfolded itself. When I would visualize the process of bringing our second child into this world, I pictured something [...]
And we named him “Arlo.”
Arlo Jameson made his way into this world at 1:36PM on Tuesday, July 19th, 2011. Weighing a whopping (for me) 8lbs, 13oz, it’s no wonder it took him 33.5 hours to finish the journey. Sully got to meet his little brother today, and we managed to make it through our first “night time” routine with [...]
I’m not raising Shiloh Pitt.
Dear Fellow Grocery Store Shoppers, Yes, I know my son is beautiful. I know he has long hair with blonde curls that most girls would beat a bitch up to snag. I know he has a pretty face. But please, when he’s dressed in blue from head-to-toe, including his wee tennis shoes, please recognize that [...]
