Helping women love what they wear on a budget

C-section vs. VBAC

August 3, 2020 by Katie Haller

C-section vs. VBAC
My 2 birth experiences were completely different from each other, yet I still ended up with the same outcome which was a healthy baby.  4 years ago, when I gave birth to my son Jack, I delivered him by emergency c-section.  Recently, with my second baby, Anna, I was able to deliver her by VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean).  As long as you didn’t have any medical problems or complications with your first pregnancy, most women have the choice to have a VBAC or a repeat c-section for their second birth.  It’s a personal choice and both deliveries have their risks.  Today I want to share both of my birth experiences with you.  You might be someone on the fence about what direction to go in, so hopefully, my experiences with both will help you with your decision.

Postpartum Essentials for Mom

June 8, 2020 by Katie Haller

Postpartum Essentials for Moms
If I learned one thing from my last pregnancy, it’s that babies will come when they are ready and they don’t care if you are ready or not.  Jack was born 10 days early, which shouldn’t have been a big deal, but I was a first-time mom and I thought for sure my baby would be late.  I had nothing prepared for postpartum.  Luckily I had a lot of help.  This time around it’s just going to be me and Kevin at home with the baby for the first week or so.  I know we will be fine, but I also know that he’s not going to be wanting to run out to the store every day to buy me things like pads and granny panties.  That’s why this time around I’m trying to stock up on all my postpartum essentials ahead of time.

23 Week Baby Bump Update + Second Trimester Outfits

February 27, 2020 by Katie Haller

23 week baby bump update

It’s time for another bump update.  I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is moving along.  I’m 23 weeks, going on 24 this weekend!  The other day I was feeling so uncomfortable and I told myself that I needed to get used to being uncomfortable because I wasn’t even halfway through this pregnancy yet.  Then I had to correct myself when I realized I had already hit the halfway point 3 weeks ago.

I will admit, I don’t love being pregnant.  I miss having my body to myself and I hate being uncomfortable, but I will say I’m trying to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can.  I know once it’s over I will miss it.
