    Gestational Diabetes: Our First Scare & The Facts

    10/23/2018 /

    Hi friends, so this is a bit of an impromptu blog post, and not something I initially planned on chronicling. However, I just had my first  “scare” and wanted to share it with my blog community. This also feeds well into a blog I will plan on writing concerning health before pregnancy and what you can do to set yourself up for a healthy pregnancy. So, here we go. Last week, I went in for my gestational diabetes screening… My Gestational Diabetes Testing Experience The first screening, or the Glucose Challenge Test, is a non-fasted blood test.  It tests to see if you’re “at risk” of having gestational diabetes. So prior…

    10/02/2018 /

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past five years, I’m sure you’ve heard the term “Essential Oils.” Long used for aromatherapy and in eastern medicine practices, essential oils have been well accepted and utilized in holistic wellness practices, massage therapy institutions, and within a niche group of natural wellness constituents.  However, as we’ve all begun to embrace more holistic practices, engage in proactive health initiatives, and reduce the amount of chemicals/toxins we expose ourselves too, mainstream society has really started to embrace these oils.

    My Pregnancy Journey: Trying To Conceive our First Baby

    07/16/2018 /

    It’s a funny thing. For so long, we take every measure humanly possible to prevent getting pregnant. The thought of getting pregnant was so far off my radar, and even terrifying, for so long. When Matt and I first started dating, we were unsure if we wanted kids. We were content living that DINK (dual-income, no-kids) lifestyle and didn’t give the idea of “children” a second thought. As our relationship progressed, our mindset changed. We went from “No kids. No way.” to “We’re open to the idea, but that’s not on our radar now.” to “Probably, someday.” and eventually…” we want kids.” Both of our attitudes toward the thought of…
