We took some family photos a little over a month after Stella was born. Seeing these three faces together… it still blows my mind even nearly six months in.

I took a little bit of time off after having her, but I’ve been working on finding my new rhythm. I’ve joked with Christian that I feel like I’m juggling work, 3 kids, housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning, trying to maintain a social life, renovations… except I don’t know how to juggle. So I’m learning how to juggle with 12 balls in the are on the spot.

But I know millions of women do this every day, and I can too.

That being said, I have felt a slight weight actually lift in the past few weeks. Stella is over multiple winter sicknesses and eating and sleeping better, the boys have been sharing a bedroom and it’s strengthening their bond, I feel more comfortable in my body and clothes have started to fit again.

I’m afraid to let out a sigh, but I think I’m seeing the light! While at times the juggle is quite chaotic, there’s no question in my mind that I’m living out my dream. This little girl was a piece to my heart that now feels whole. I think Hudson and I compete for who is most obsessed with her. He is such an amazing big brother, and while Theo is mostly disinterested, he is very gentle and helpful with her.

Stella is in a vintage dress, Theo’s bubble is Little English

Thank you to Allie Murray for capturing these sweet moments at home. I’ll be sharing a few more photos from this day very soon! xo –
