babies!

It seems like everyone I know is expecting right now so I think I have babies on the mind. Over at Babble, I've written two baby posts:

The most amazing and clever birth announcements (I am in awe!)

Hope you enjoy!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I went for lots of spring walks, a picnic, enjoyed  brunch at Broder, and watched the new Jane Eyre. It was a super relaxing weekend. Here are my latest posts from Babble.com to start off the week.
