My Labor & Delivery Story
Motherhood RelationshipsHey fam! As many of you now know (thanks to a little platform called Instagram) our baby girl is finally in the world! Valentina Grace Hendrix was born on December 5, 2017 at 6pm weighing a teeny but healthy 5 pounds 12 ounces.
I’ve been taking some much needed time off to rest. In my world, “time off” pretty much means unplugging from the day to day tasks of blogging, filming, editing, and managing a side biz (the bless box!). I’m so happy we had our baby right before the holiday. She officially turned one month this past week and is changing so much everyday. Thankfully, I’m taking as many pictures and videos of her as I can so I can look back and treasure the moments forever!
I’ve been getting a lot of sweet messages from you guys asking how the labor/delivery experience went. I know you guys probably have tons of questions so I decided to film a candid little video (on my iPhone – like the good ole days hahah) and share the story. Let’s just say, labor is so not what you envision it to be in your mind. Well, for me it wasn’t at least. Watch the video on my channel HERE to see why.
Valentina is seriously my real-life doll. She has already taught me so much about life and who I want to be. I love her so much and it’s true what they say. When you become a mom your entire world, priorities and goals change for the better. It’s not easy but it’s already been so rewarding. Any mama’s out there got any advice for me? I’m still taking it all in!
Thank you for all your continued support. I’m excited we’re officially in a new year. This is going to be a great one – I can already feel it. xoxo!
I am so so so so so happY for you! She’s so incredibly AMAZINGLY ADORABLE. CONGRATULATIONS! take care of yourself and use the deserved time off for rest and spend it with your lovely family. wishing you all the best! <3

*so adorable haha
I cannot wait to watch your video! I am also a new mom – little girl was born june 16. being a mom is wonderful and so rewarding but DEFINITELY tiring! not sure if you are co sleeping or planning on it. my goal was to have our little girl in her crib at night and she was until 4 months (4 month sleep regression). I was so tired with work that we’d end up in my bed falling asleep and it became a bad habit. Now trying to get her back in her crib and the struggle is real!!! can chat more if you’re interested. good luck! xo
