  • I’ve gone back and forth about posting this. I remember asking my husband to take this photo because i wanted to remember it. I had the best birth. But #postpartum? Different story. This was taken the day after Jemma was born and I was more exhausted than I’d ever been. I was wearing nothing but my adult diaper (praise the heavens for Depends) and hadn’t showered from birth yet. But the good thing is that I wasn’t yet ashamed of my body. Little did I know that after those first 30 lbs dropped off, my weight would stay put. And that the self confidence I gained from birth would get lost in the mayhem of learning how to be a mom and as I got used to my new body. I’ve always been an average girl when it comes to weight, and was very skinny in high school/my early college days because of my horrible self image and “borderline anorexia,” which is what my then therapist called it. Now I look at my body and I feel defeated. But why! It gave me the absolute greatest gift and made me a mother. It went through an emotional pregnancy. It gave me Viking strength during birth. It’s carried me through this postpartum period, even when I feel like it’s failed me. It’s made it through. I need to remember how beautiful that is. So I post this photo to help me remember. Remember that I am strong. That my saggy tummy made me a woman. A mother. So screw the bad self image thoughts! I. Am. Beautiful. @takebackpostpartum #takebackpostpartum
  • That sweet little beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American (baby) girl 🇺🇸💥#jemmajoliej
  • Sometimes baby girl doesn’t know what to think about all of this picture-taking 😂😂😂 ... It’s been a hard, glorious 2 months with this Jem. Someone at church today asked me, “How’s motherhood?” I smiled. “I’m so tired!” But hey, it’s so good. So worth it. I’m so incredibly lucky to be her mama! She’s smiling, loves to talk, is 12 lbs and fitting into 3 month sized clothes, and is starting to (sort of) sleep through the night! Every day I have moments where I look at her and can’t believe she’s mine! I made her! Such a magical feeling. ✨ #jemmajoliej
  • WAIT FOR IT...!!! She is smiling so much lately, it’s so much fun! Parents...I need your help! Jemmy is outgrowing her swaddles! We’ve been using the Velcro ones (this one is the @bunnypalm brand) and we’re ready to try something different. She’s a master escape artist (Houdini has nothing on her) and always ends up unswaddled. I know there’s some that let you leave the arms out...any particular ones/brands you recommend? #jemmajoliej #2monthsold
  • Can you EVEN?! I had so much fun dressing Jemma for her #LDSBabyBlessing that I thought I’d share my tips! Find them in the new post all about choosing the prefect blessing outfit #ontheblog. Link in profile. #jemmajoliej
  • It only took me 8 weeks...but Jemma’s birth story is finally on the blog! Her birth was hands down the best experience of my life. I’ve never felt more “woman,” and I am a brand new person because of it. Read all about it by clicking the link in my profile! 📷: @wfmother #homebirth #naturalbirth #cristianandsonja
