The "c-word". That's what my husband and I used to refer to colic when we were pregnant with Jude. Every expecting parent hears the horror stories of babies screaming crying for hours on end, only to be told that their baby's discomfort is colic and there's essentially nothing they can do. It was a big fear of mine when Jude was born, and I was thankful that he was a pretty great newborn. When Heath was first born, he slept really well in the hospital, but around 2 weeks old, things changed. He ... View Post
Tips for a Long Roadtrip with Little Ones (And Our Florida Photo Diary)
My husband and I have never shied away from a road trip. Especially having Titan who is a larger dog that can't get on a plane, we've made the drive to Florida from Chicago numerous times. So the thought of possibly driving to Florida as a family crept in my mind a few times since the pandemic started, but I always thought it was a situation where we would be biting off way more than we could chew. Just like everyone else, we started hitting a bit of a pandemic wall. We don't have a backyard in ... View Post
Celebrating Jude’s 2nd Birthday: Our Small Toy Story Party
Our darling boy is TWO! On January 27th 2019 after a very short labor Jude came fast and boldly into the world, and has been brightening our lives ever since. Jude is truly the soul of our family. He is adventurous, joyful, and so loving, continuously smiling and laughing his way through life. My hope for him is that he always stays curious, never loses his determination, and continues to spread joy wherever he goes. We can't wait to see who he becomes! (You can read his birth story ...

Reflecting on 2020: Saying goodbye to a crazy year with gratitude and hope
The year of all years is coming to a close. If you told me in 2019 half of what would happen in 2020, I would look at you like you had four heads. A global pandemic? Being stuck inside the majority of the year? Being out of work? And I would be one of the lucky ones to make it out of this year not catching a virus. What a crazy ride it's been. Yet in all the sadness and uncertainty, 2020 has given us one of the greatest gifts of all. Our baby Heath. Part of why I waited so long to ... View Post
Christmas 2020
It's the most wonderful time of the year... a really crazy year. It's hard to believe that the holidays are here. The end of 2019 feels like yesterday and at the same time feels too good to have happened. The carefree life we all lived before this pandemic feels so out of reach, I'm struggling to grasp my mind around it. It's not that this state of the world will ever feel normal, but COVID has impacted so many parts of our lives that going back to the way things were seems unattainable. ... View Post
Hey Heath! Our second baby’s birth story.
He is here! A little over two weeks ago we welcomed our second son into the world, Heath Joseph Rosenberg. I announced my pregnancy not that long ago (here) and also shared the anxiety I felt being pregnant during a pandemic (here). This time around I was much more afraid of labor and delivery, partly because of COVID and partly because I was afraid of leaving Jude and something bad happening. When you experience the love of having a child, you know how much there is to lose. Thankfully ... View Post
