ONE MONTH YOUNG

today miss hazel is one month old

time flies when you're having fun

THE DAY BEFORE HAZEL WAS BORN

also known as my 32nd birthday, chris and i spent the day before hazel was born rowing boats and picnic-ing in central park. we followed that up with dinner at fat radish and ice cream cake in pjs at home.

it was an absolutely perfect day and one of my favorite birthday's in the past few years. 

even though the place that developed my film messed it up, i salvaged a few pics from my very awesome - and very pregnant - birthday.

and then i went into labor 12 hours later. crazy how things work out.

RETURN TO THE EARLY AUGHTS

feeling a little nostalgic today and listing to music i loved in the early aughts. aqueduct, apollo sunshine, the postal service and the flaming lips are all on the playlist

MATERNITY MONDAYS

i've quickly learned that maternity monday's are kind of the best thing ever.

Sunday's anxiety about the impending work week, tight deadlines and frantic emails have been replaced with easy monday mornings, natural light, low stress and time with my family.

can't be mad at that

FIRST FATHERS DAY

happy first fathers day to the best new dad around

MEETING GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

my mom and stepdad came to visit for the week, and it's been really great to have them here. so nice for hazel to get spoiled with all the grandma kisses and snuggles, and attention from grandpa.

so far we've picnic'd in the park, BBQ'd, walked around williamsburg and the piers, and had a rainy day movie marathon

gonna be sad to see them go on friday

ITTY BITTY PLANTS

the other kind of bebe's i'm taking care of

being surrounded by plants makes life better

@HAZELHARMON

in an effort to not totally clog our friends social feeds with baby photos, we started an instagram account where we can upload as many photos as we want without thinking twice about it. (although, who wouldn't want to see a million photos of THIS FACE!? i mean come ON)

if you want to join the hazel fan club / most adorable photo feed ever, you can find her on instagram at @hazelharmon. but be warned - you might experience cuteness overload

AND THEN CAME HAZEL

to say quite a bit happened since my last post seems like a major understatement

chris and i indeed spent the memorial day long weekend enjoying our time together and celebrating my 32nd birthday. we rowed boats and picnic'd in central park, went to diner in the city and ate a whole lotta ice cream cake.

and then at 3am on memorial day, my water broke. yep. SURPRISE!!

chris and i headed to the hospital and i had our baby girl, Hazel Hill Harmon at 8:20am. she's only 5 hours old in this photo which is pretty nuts. we spent 4 days in the hospital and were able to come home thursday afternoon 

now we're home with our little baby bean getting adjusted to everyday life and loving our new family. things couldn't be any better right now, we're so in love
