Big news over in my world! A few hours after my 32nd birthday came to a close, my little girl decided that she was done cooking in my oven and was ready to make her debut into the world.
Meet Camryn Elisse, my 5 lb 9 oz angel face who arrived a week ago. For months, my instincts had told me that my baby would arrive before her due date, but her swift arrival at 36 weeks was the best surprise birthday gift imaginable.
Baby and I are both doing very well, and it feels wildly surreal that I’m now a mom.
I’m looking forward to sharing my empowering natural birthing story with you all soon! But for this week, I’m just soaking up the newborn snuggles and getting a hang of this whole baby thing. 🙂

Thanks so much, Deborah! We are doing great (just sleepy as expected!).
Ali says
Motherhood is the most amazing gift! Congratulations and I hope that you’re enjoying all of the baby snuggles!

Thanks for the well wishes, Ali!
David @ Spiced says
Awww, congratulations! Soak up those baby snuggles for sure. They grow up fast, and soon enough she’ll be telling you she wants something else for dinner instead of what you made her. 🙂

Thank you, David! Right now she loves to snooze on me so I am definitely making sure to be in the moment and soak up the newborn snuggles every time she passes out on me 🙂
Sarah says
She is just so little and precious! I hope you are enjoying your time with her. Can’t wait to hear your birth story!
foodielovesfitness says
Thank you lady! Yes, she is such a peanut! 🙂

She wanted to come on your birthday didn’t she?? That’s so special that she’s the day after yours! Congratulations Nicole — she’s just beautiful!

I know right? We were so close to sharing a birthday, which would have been cool! My brother and his wife actually had a baby on his birthday earlier this year. Plus, my husband’s birthday is 6 days before mine.. so we are all summer babies born within a week of each other 🙂
