To My Dear Son, When My Love Isn’t Enough

Posted on October 19, 2018by emessler

My sweet baby, oh how I love you. From the very moment they laid you on my chest, and you let out your innocent little cry, my heart expanded immensely. It was pure bliss in that hospital room for two days, getting to know each other and finding our routine. I never let you out of […]

Dear Social Media, Let’s Just Be Friends

Posted on September 12, 2018September 12, 2018by emessler

I laid next to my baby as I waited for him to slowly drift off to sleep, excited about what was to come – “me time.” A full hour or so of uninterrupted time and the possibilities were endless! I could eat lunch, tidy up the house, read a good book, catch up on some […]

Mama, It’s Not Your Fault

Posted on July 23, 2018July 23, 2018by emessler

They say your first baby is always easy, just wait for number two. Well, every time I hear that, I can’t help but wonder, “If number two is going to be harder than number one, I’m not sure I’ll survive! It all began nine and a half short months ago. After a semi-dramatic labor that […]

Combatting “Mom Guilt”

Posted on March 19, 2018by emessler

It happened. Jude had his first big “owie.” He’s semi-mobile now, so he rolls himself around. I made the foolish mistake of setting him on the ottoman in his room for 30 seconds while I hung up some clothes in his closet. And then I heard it. THUD. And I knew exactly what had happened […]

What I Learned From Reading the Book of Mormon in 31 Days

Posted on February 9, 2018February 9, 2018by emessler

What a month January was! Near the end of December, with a new year approaching, I decided I wanted to set a pretty major spiritual goal for the year. Since having my new baby, I had kind of put all things spiritual on the back burner. Being a new mom and finding a new routine […]

31 Day Book of Mormon Challenge

Posted on December 17, 2017by emessler

With the new year approaching, I (along with the rest of you I’m sure) have been pondering goals. I knew this year I wanted my goals to be mostly spiritual. Since having Jude, while I feel closer to God in a lot of ways, I also feel I have distanced myself from Him. I have […]

Trying to Pray My Problems Away

Posted on November 24, 2017by emessler

Oh my goodness, it has been quite an eventful 24 hours. Let me start from the beginning. Yesterday, Thanksgiving started out great. Almost too great. My son was happy as could be all morning, and mornings are usually not his happiest hours. He wasn’t crying like he usually does, and he was sleeping! Sleeping doesn’t […]

Motherhood: 2 Weeks In

Posted on October 30, 2017October 30, 2017by emessler

Holy cow! I feel like these last two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. The time has gone by fast and slow all at the same time. It feels like it has been literally months since I got home from the hospital, but at the same time it feels like it has gone by fast. […]

Jude’s Birth Story

Posted on October 22, 2017October 22, 2017by emessler

Throughout my pregnancy with Jude, I read quite a few different birth stories from inspiring women to better prepare myself for what was to come. I loved reading those stories, and it is quite surreal to now be on the other side, writing the birth story of my sweet baby Jude. From the beginning – […]

40 WEEKS

Posted on October 13, 2017by emessler

The due date is here. The countdown has somewhat ended (although it still continues on because baby has not made his grand debut yet). I cannot believe I have officially been pregnant for 40 weeks! The time has flown by. Within the next few days I will be HOLDING and SNUGGLING and LOVING my baby […]
