First Pregnancy 2017 vs Second Pregnancy 2020

Well, if you didn’t know already (because I realize I hadn’t even announced our pregnancy on the blog yet, oops!) I am pregnant with our second little bundle of joy. I am due in August and obviously for many reasons, these pregnancies have been completely different but actually a lot more similar than I thought. First Pregnancy in 2017 Daniel and I waited almost 10 years of marriage to start trying for a family. I knew this was risky because we had no idea how long it would t

Yoga and exercise during my pregnancy

[Disclaimer: I am not a healthcare professional, I am just a person telling her story. Please consult a prenatal yoga teacher or healthcare professional for expert advice on exercise during pregnancy.] Allow me to hit rewind for a second before I start talking about yoga and exercise during my pregnancy. At the beginning of 2016 I started doing a type of yoga called “Bowspring.” It’s very different to the “traditional yoga” and I was enjoying it a lot until I took an Iyengar

What I will do differently for baby #2 (if there is one)

First of all let me say that baby number two is not on the horizon at all. I have joked to Daniel saying that when Oliver can make me a PB&J then we can think about trying for another one. Becoming a mother has been so wonderful but it has also been painful, exhausting and emotional. You can’t prepare someone by telling them what it’s going to be like – they just have to jump into the pool that is motherhood and learn how to splash around until they can swim by themselves. Of

What’s In My Birthing Bag

You know those people (Ensley) that pack a small carry-on-size bag when they go away for the weekend? Well that’s not me. I don’t think it’s ever been me. When I go away for a weekend it looks like I’ve packed the whole house in the car and are moving out. Actually, Daniel takes the bags to the car (sorry love!). I have one big bag that fits most of my clothes, one shoe bag, a toiletry bag and my backpack that I cram last minute things into as I head out the door. My motto is

Top 10 Pregnancy + Parenting Reads

Anyone who knows me knows my Type-A personality has the tendency to get a little anxious and a tad controlling. You know what doesn’t help that? The Internet. Like the time I searched “pain in my right side 20 weeks pregnant,” and ended up diagnosing myself with death. (Oops.) At that point I made the wise choice to ditch the Googling and switch to books instead. Full disclosure: I haven’t finished all ten of these yet. Blame pregnancy brain, but lately I’ve had a hard time s

Maternity Photo Shoot

Rachel Hendrick picked the most amazing spot for our maternity photo shoot: The UNCC Botanical Gardens. This hidden gem of a location surprised the heck out of all of us. We started in the greenhouse which had different rooms featuring plants from various biomes such as a tropical rainforest and a desert. Rachel was great at giving us pose cues (which I always did backwards, “The other right leg Kendra”) and fixing my hair. Speaking of hair, I never learn! Every time I try to

Kendra’s Baby Registry Favorites

Have you ever stepped foot into a “baby store” like BuyBuyBaby for example? It’s like you have to be part of some sort of a club to know what in the world everything is and how to use it. Before venturing there with my hubby, I decided to check online and see what the consensus was about what I needed and didn’t. I couldn’t believe that a tiny little human could use so much stuff. I also chatted to my friends that have children and I can honestly say that I am going to love t

Gender: We keep asking baby to kick once if it’s a boy and twice for a girl, but baby is not cooperating. Baby bump: Literally bumpin’ about. The 19-20week was the growth spurt, now it feels like more gradual growing. I am watching this one stretch mark that is treading on thin ice on m
