After the loss of Spirit B, I didn’t write or talk much about how everything was going physically for me postpartum wise, as I was way to consumed with healing my heart and learning how to be a Mama to Max. Even though I was doing a lot physically very early after my emergency c- … Continue reading Getting back into training post baby

Revel is now officially a month old and I am well into my 4th trimester. I feel like the two of us have hit a nice rhythm. I am getting better at reading his subtle (and not so subtle!) cues and he is more and more alert and aware, which makes everything more fun. Physically, … Continue reading My favorite gear and tips for surviving and loving your fourth trimester
Revel Wilder
At the beginning of my pregnancy I said I wanted to bike into the hospital to deliver Lil C. While the birth didn't happen quite as I wanted, I did get to bike to the hospital and it all ended with Revel Wilder healthy, sleepy, and hungry in my arms.

Letting go
As I head into my last few weeks of being pregnant I am working on letting go of what is not serving me. It is a constant practice for me to set boundaries, and to know when to ask for what I need and to learn when to let things go. Once again I have … Continue reading Letting go
33 weeks: so close or still so far?
It's crazy and not so crazy to think that I am at 33 weeks. Like people say with kids, the time goes by both fast and slow. Some days are easier than others.

Transitions and settling in
So far this pregnancy has flown by. The first couple weeks of my pregnancy saw me in awe of it all. How it all began was like something out of a story book. And now many weeks later, I am already half way through it all. This realization actually hit me hard this last … Continue reading Transitions and settling in

I have taken up a new sport here in NZ. And while I know you are "not supposed" to do anything new when pregnant, I use the term "taking up" very loosely. I have started learning how to open water swim. At first it started with just a simple goal: be able to swim … Continue reading Taking up a New Sport

Ever since Spirit told me I was growing his and Max's little brother or sister in my belly we have been on a whirlwind. Up until now, It has felt like when one storm settled, another one rolled in right behind it.

Rainbows with messages
In my last post, I eluded to a message that Spirit B gave me in the middle of the Patagonian Race while looking out at the biggest, brightest and longest lasting rainbow I had ever witnessed. As we weaved up and down little valleys and across turbal, he was following us and saying: "Mama, this … Continue reading Rainbows with messages
