Honey, I'm Home

“Hello, beautiful, young wife who is happy and clean after being home all day with the baby.”

“Hello, just-the-right-amount-of-ruggedly-handsome husband who is happy and smiling after a full day of work.”

“Life is beautiful.”

“I know. It’s probably all of the sleep we are getting.”

4

Breastfeeding Queen

Breastfeeding is always beautiful and intuitively easy. Plus, everyone gets a fun crown.

5

Baring It All

At nine months pregnant, who even cares anymore? Do what you want.

Pregnancy Goddess

Catching a beautiful sunrise is easy when you’re up every 12 minutes to pee.
