His shirt may say “I love mommy and naps” but he sleeps with his mouth wide open like his daddy 💙 Still cute though. Having a newborn is like being in a weird time vortex where you don’t know what day it is but time moves so fast. Jasper will be three weeks old on Wednesday and I still can’t believe I have him here in my arms and not in my belly, yet being pregnant seems like a lifetime ago! We’re settling into a routine (kind of) and will have to find a new one once Mark returns to work on Friday. I am definitely enjoying this sacred time of healing + figuring out this new life, but I’ll admit I can’t wait to get back to blogging. I have SO much to share with you guys. I hope you have a great Monday! #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

Nothing completes a Saturday than our weekly @electriccitycoffeebistro brunch ☕️🥞 + it’s even cozier when there’s snow ❄️ falling outside— I’m pretty sure Montana is now covered in 6 feet of snow. Also, this almond milk latte was MUCH needed after a night of a baby refusing to sleep anywhere except on your chest (not complaining though) and a puppy who was vomiting through out the night. Wishing y’all a warm weekend! #DevonJade #DJ

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! ❤️🌹💋 . . . I know many individuals think this day is cheesy but it’s honestly my favorite holiday 🙈 There’s nothing that makes me giddy like everyone confessing their love for each other + seeing all the creative ways people are celebrating! Clearly we are having a good ole time over here celebrating Jasper’s very first Valentine’s Day. His little outfit may be just a tad too big but he doesn’t seem to mind— and isn’t he just SO handsome?! . . . Are you a lover of V-Day or is this just any old day to you? 💗 Xo #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

While we’re on the topic of natural ways to treat a cold, I can’t forget to mention this gem 💎❤️ Ningxia Red! This magical drink is just that, MAGIC! It’s packed with fruits, veggies, essential oils, + wolf berries. Basically a superfood in a 2oz drink pouch. I do my best to drink one of these pouches a day, but even more so when I am sick or feeling under the weather. I drank this throughout my entire pregnancy + am continuing this regimen into postpartum. I could seriously go on and on about the trillion and one benefits Ningxia contains, but I’ll save that for another day 😉 For now just know it gives you super powers. #DevonJade #DJ

Matching with my TWO WEEK OLD 👶🏻 in the cutest beanies his Aunt J @jhamps_ got us! #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

What are you reaching for when you’re feeling under the weather? I woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat + cough— for me, this is a sign my body needs more rest and to slow down. However with a newborn this is a little hard to do + I was bound to come down with something sooner rather than later (it doesn’t help the temps have been below zero since we’ve come home from the hospital). - I prefer to treat my symptoms with natural, non-toxic remedies rather than grabbing for the DayQuil. It’s important to me and now that I have my little one attached to me— I don’t want to get him sick!!! - These two oils are my favorites when it comes to congestion + coughs. I typically dilute either one with a carrier oil and rub it on my chest. But, since I’m breastfeeding I try to be extra careful with what I’m rubbing on my body, specifically my chest. Although essential oils aren’t toxic, I don’t know what could irritate Jasper. So, instead I open the bottle and just inhale the goodness that they have to offer. Simple, chemical free options at the tip of my fingers! #DevonJade #DJ

✋🏼 Not today, Monday. #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

✨💛 Sunday. A day I used to hate + dread, but is now one of my favorite days of the week. I distinctly remember feeling so down and melancholy every Sunday. I never had a reason as to why I felt that way but looking back it was equal parts anxiety and having my mindset in a toxic place. It was like I used the weekend to shut off my thoughts and escape any worries, problems, and anxiety I had. But when Sunday night rolled around everything would hit me HARD. Sunday scaries, if you will. Fast forward to today, I love Sunday’s! I enjoy not having an alarm set (okay, well now I have Jasper as my alarm clock 😉), taking my time in the morning, and just being lazy. I like to think my husband played a huge role in me enjoying Sunday’s again. We would always say how when we have children we want to make Sunday’s our day to slow down and really spend time with each other. To make pancakes and just enjoy the life we have built/are building together. I’m grateful to say those traditions we once dreamed of starting, are now happening. Even though Jasper is teeny tiny and has no clue, starting them now feels more than right. The energy we give off and time we set now will stick and grow with him in the future. If you’ve made it this far reading, thank you. This is what was on my heart this morning + I wanted to share it with y’all while I had a moment to myself. Are you a Sunday lover? What’s your favorite thing to do on this day? I’d love to hear! #DevonJade #DJ

Friday, February 8, 2019 ~ HAPPY due d a t e baby boy 🌈✨ {swipe to see my last bump photo + the last ultrasound photo we received two days before meeting our son} Instead of my usual Friday bump update I traded in my letter board for a sweet baby boy in my arms! Oh how things change so quickly. To think last Monday so many things were happening so fast that I had no idea what my labor or delivery would look like. And then just like that Jasper was born and we were headed home with him a week ago. 9 days early. 9 days after his mama’s birthday. So many emotions + so much I want to say. We are so grateful for these extra days spent with you 💙 P.s. I am working on writing a blog post alllll about his birth story but just enjoying these moments of newborn bliss right now. #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ
