Getting to the point where I get asked if I am checking in to triage when I walk into Labor + Delivery to pick up a placenta or attend a client birth... #pregnantdoula (at Jaclyn Michele Photography + Birth Services)

Yesterday we biked 15 miles on the trail to downtown Rochester and back with a sushi pit stop. Today I am having ice cream for breakfast. Because balance, ya dig?

Another thing to check off the list: Diapers! We just received a giant garbage bag filled with an entire stash of assorted cloth diapers and more inserts than I can even count still in good condition. I showed the kids how to properly launder them (they will be doing most, if not all of the diaper washing and drying, especially in the immediate postpartum) and took advantage of the sunny day to line dry the shells. Can't wait to have a tiny fluffbutt in the house. 😍 #clothdiapers #fluffybutt #reusablenappies #cutediapers

When my grandparents passed away, I didn't get many mementos. But one thing I did get to choose out of my Grandma Fisher's curio cabinet of personal trinkets was a small matching teacup, saucer, and vase set painted with her favorite flowers, violets. Today was the anatomy scan of our perfectly growing baby and we discovered we are having another little lady. Violet Louise Tavernier, your mamas and siblings cannot wait to meet you and see that sweet face. 💜

The kids rode their bikes to the Little Free Library box down the road to donate some books Adelaide was ready to pass along and Lucas brought this one back for me. Because "it looked like your kind of book." Hahaha. 🙃 #littlefreelibrary #summerreading #fantasy #yafiction (at Auburn Hills, Michigan)

Perhaps I don't LOOK as big as I FEEL, I realized after taking this photo vs looking down at my belly or in a mirror. But I still feel immense imagining another twenty weeks or more of growth left to go..🤰🏻🖤 #20weeks #bumpdate #thirdpregnancy #bellypicture #babygotbump

Starting my day with a clover mutation. 🍀🖤

This chrome hair color made me feel pretty today, which I have not felt since I hacked all my hair off, so I selfie-ed. I don't care how trendy silvery and gray hairs are right now. 💀🖤 #silverhairdontcare #ievenputonmakeup
