PEARL JO'S BIRTH STORY // hospital newborn photos

PJ is here, and our hearts are SO FULL!

One of my favorite ways to shop is thrift and consignment because not only can you get really cute, barely worn stuff - but you can also find cool and unique things that aren't in the stores anymore!

I am THRILLED to share with you this amazing online consignment store called BAGSY! They have ALL KIDS sizes and the cutest stuff. An amazing selection, I am blown away... I could literally sit on their website for hours.

A MAXI DRESS MADE FOR MOTHERHOOD

When I was pregnant, I had the HARDEST time finding clothes that fit me right. Especially before I "popped" --- I just looked wide and awkward (or at least it felt that way)!
