Something Small Coming This Fall

It feels like such an odd time to be sharing celebratory news with everything that’s going on in the world, but we have an exciting update from our corner of the universe…our little family will be expanding this Fall!

We are absolutely thrilled and excited, but also nervous with a new set of emotions from my first pregnancy. Nori still feels like my baby to me (and probably always will), and fills my heart…but also seemingly all of my energy these days, especially while in quarantine in our small space. I know there’ll be a lot of changes with newborn plus active toddler life, but one reassuring thing is seeing so many of you mamas doing it with grace!

The other difference about this pregnancy is how we got here. The first question from family and friends we’ve shared the news with has been whether we did IVF, so I wanted to be open here. Having gone through IVF with Nori, we were very hopeful to not have to go through it again. Especially right now, so many infertility treatments have been paused or cancelled during COVID, and it breaks my heart for mamas-to-be who are left waiting in limbo.

We started trying naturally for a second child last year, and frankly I expected we’d try for a year or two and then possibly go down the road of fertility treatments again. Well, things work in mysterious ways because here we are…

I didn’t tell anyone, even close friends the first few weeks, in fear that it was too good to be true. A small part of me wishes I had a little more time to resurface for air from our whirlwind toddler, but I’m embracing how we got here and am so excited for Nori to be a big sister!

As for this blog, I hope to continue sharing everything I love, which will always include fashion! Like with my first pregnancy, I’ll be wearing a lot of forgiving, non-maternity pieces, and have been doing my best to include measurements on clothing featured so you guys can continue to have a reliable reference point.

Thanks so much for sharing in our journey over the past decade – I can’t wait to continue growing and learning from this beautiful community.

    I didn’t want to tell you before but you could have conceived Nori naturally also. If you haven’t conceived within 12 months it means you need to be evaluated for infertility. It does not mean you have to start IVF if you and your husband test normal. We conceived within 2 months for our first and then 20 months for our second. Sometimes it just takes awhile. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

    What wonderful news! I have been following for a long time and am so happy for you. I confess that I had to unfollow on IG only because it is taking me a long time to conceive my second and know it will be hard to see your pregnancy unfold. But that doesn’t take away from how happy I am for you; it has never been hard for me to hear about anyone elses happy baby news. Images in my IG feed are a little harder to grapple with, but I will be back as soon as I am able to get pregnant and will be so excited to get tips about maternity wear! Thanks for being so honest with your followers. It takes a lot of courage 🙂

In hope everything is fine with you and you and the baby. I have a question for you – how do you plan to handle covid situation during pregnancy? I am pregnant myself and have been warned to self- isolate with basically no due date. Is it similar for you?

      Hi Jean!
      Congratulations to you and your family. I am a silent reader and have been for quite a few years now . Having discovered your blog when I was struggling with clothing sizes (being 4 11″). It has been so helpful and love how your blog has grown to include fashion , recipes and so much more. I have a 2.5 year old toddler and was blessed with a baby boy just 2 days ago.
      It may be slightly stressful (speaking of my experience for past 2 days) but oh what a joy to see the two lil ones together. God bless you and your family and sending all the prayers and love.

    You should be grateful. And instead of saying you’re not sure if you are ready, remember all of us who went thru 10x the amount of IVF that you did and miscarriages on top of it. Be grateful and stop with your bullshit…”we weren’t sure what to do, blah blah blah.”

      I am very sorry for what it sounds like you must have gone through. But it’s possible to be deeply grateful and also have uncertainties.

      Attitudes and comments like yours are also why many women who went through infertility or miscarriages (no matter what “amount” – it is not a competition btw) end up bottling up postpartum depression. Being told to “be grateful” rather than be honest about having a hard time, since so many other women are going through much worse trying to get pregnant. Please realize your words can be hurtful, and I hope that you can heal from your experiences and not project them onto others.

You gracefully correct them and offer empathy despite their poor attitude. I’m sure it’s not easy and it makes me respect you more.

        Anyway, I am so happy for your growing family. Nori is the cutest and your family gives me hope. Thanks for sharing your posts about motherhood, food, and petite fashion! You, Nick and Nori deserve to celebrate!

        Pregnancy and being a mum is hard enough period which is why it’s great that Jean openly shares so many of her tips with the rest of us.

        All pregnancies are different and beautiful. Women need to learn to accept that. There’s no need for us to compete with each other about who had the hardest or easiest time.

        Having followed Jean’s IVF journey I can completely empathise with why she (or any woman) wouldn’t want to go through that a second time.

Jean, no it is not a competition but like Bee said, I think she was just expressing her feelings about it.. not projecting it out on other people. I am sure you had moments like this when you were trying to conceive Nori so I hope you can understand how extremely frustrating the infertility journey is for us. Especially when you hear these kind of “miracle” news from other people BUT yourself.

      I do think the constant dramatization is a little much. First, the sad IVF stories. Then, the sad postpartum depression stories. Now, the second pregnancy apprehension stories. I’m not saying that people should bottle up mental health problems or leave them untreated, but at a point it becomes sad-phishing. Freakonomics did a nice podcast this week about the human obsession with negativity, and the toll negativity-based social media and news are taking on mental health. So I do think there’s a legitimate question as to whether you’re part of the solution or part of the problem.

      The reality is, this blog has run its course. It used to have so much valuable info about how to style for petites. Now it’s just lazy, and the “woe-is-me” posts are a symptom of that.

        When women have happy news to share (whether during times of crisis or not), we’re shamed for being insensitive, selfish, inconsiderate, or [insert negative adjective here] because “other’s have it worse.” When women have happy news to share but also act with apprehension or voice it with caution as to not sound too insensitive, selfish, inconsiderate, etc., we’re also, ironically, shamed for it. And if not shamed for the way we express how we feel, then shamed or criticized for something else (in this case your comment about her blog as lazy and the value it no longer brings). At the end of the day women are always met with criticism no matter how our feelings are expressed or what subject we share.

        The author is happy about her news, and she’s expressing her feelings, whether with an upbeat attitude or apprehensive and cautious tone, and as women we need to try and be more supportive rather than find flaws to criticize and nit-pick. Most of the time what we’re criticizing is a projection and symptom of our own internal insecurities and flaws because it’s a defense mechanism to make ourselves feel better. This is also unhealthy, doesn’t resolve anything, and affects our mental health.

        For you, Kate, maybe Jean’s blog is no longer valuable because you’ve grown out of the content vs Jean being lazy. Maybe you’ve grown out of it because you’ve learned all you needed to learn, and have gotten to a point in your life where you’re comfortable enough that you don’t need any more petite styling tips. And maybe that’s a positive thing depending how you want to look at it.

            Yes! And as a silent reader all these years, I am horrified to see some of the really negative posts. It’s such a hard time now for so many people – why attack when it would be better IMHO to work together to make things better for everyone. I can’t have children – and after many years, we made the hard decision to not have them. And I will always feel sadness for myself and what “could have been”, but to know and see someone else be able to have that happiness brings happiness to me. Why can’t we just be happy for others? It always boggles my mind.

        It’s called being real. A real person who has real experiences in life, not of all it is going to be positive is allowed to express their emotions on their own fricking blog.
        Infertility, complex emotions of post partum life, quarantine life with toddlers, every experience is different for everyone. If you’re a pro at handling things without needing to share them with the world, then kudos to you. But by using her blog to talk about these things, Jean has made countless others feel not alone in their journeys.
        If it’s not serving you, don’t read it. Dramatisation or not, no one is forcing you to read or respond.

        To the others who think she should just be grateful because they’re having a harder time than she did, stop and think to see how it would feel if someone told you to be grateful that you are alive to be worrying about infertility or be grateful you have the financial ability to go with those many IVFs. You’re hardships don’t give you a right to treat others poorly.

        Kate, infertility and depression were a part of her life. They are indeed not happiest challenges.. But they are a part of Jean’s life story. I for one like hearing the truth, not a sugar-coating of one’s life. I’m sure if Jean could have chosen how her life would play out, she would have chosen easy conception and NO postpartum depression. But life isn’t like that for everyone. Her surprise at getting pregnant more easily this time means she’s had to adjust more quickly to her wonderful news. I guess if you don’t like following someone’s real life ups and downs, and how they come out even stronger, wiser, and happier, maybe stick to make-believe fantasies of glittery sparkly unicorns where everything is fake. Jean is a wonderful testimony of faith and hope to others who are going through similar trials.

      I almost never comment on blogs, but wanted to here. I can definitely understand the pain of pregnancy announcements after going through 4 years of infertility and 7 embryo transfers and a miscarriage before getting my rainbow baby, but this kind of talk only hurts women and women experiencing IF even more. We have every right to have the same emotions as everyone else. We already have so many things taken away from us, let’s not add this to the list.

      We can’t be expected to 100% grateful, happy, etc all the time. A perfect example is right now, some times I catch myself thinking about how much easier it would be to be quarantined and working from home without a toddler. And literally every time, I beat myself up for having that thought because I should “be grateful.” Trust me, I get it. Even after you have your baby, the sting of pregnancy announcements doesn’t go away. A great article here that discusses just that (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/10/23/parenting/the-lasting-trauma-of-infertility.amp.html). But let’s not do this to each other. Every woman is entitled to her feelings and let’s not let infertility take away anymore from us than it already has.

      Congratulations Jean and anonymous, I wish you all the luck as you move forward in your journey to becoming a parent.

      you do know that people can have more than one emotion at one time, right? You can be both grateful and scared, excited and apprehensive all at the same time. I’ve also been through infertility treatments and loss(even worse than miscarrying a baby you desperately want is having to make the choice to end the pregnancy-for me it was a health problem that would mean no baby, and possibly no me)-it is awful. I feel you there. But that doesn’t mean that anyone is required to never have fears or doubts. That’s not how life works, and it’s not helpful to anyone to pretend that it is how life should work.

      I’m so excited to hear your news. I’ve been following you for so long (since truly your early years blogging), and in recent years, your store has mirrored ours in many ways. We didn’t do IVF, but we had to miscarriages before our daughter, taking over a year and a half of trying until our rainbow baby. We just welcomed our little boy after really just saying let’s see what happens if we don’t prevent pregnancy (I hadn’t even gotten my period back after over a year of breastfeeding). Now we have two kids 21 months apart. It’s a difficult adjustment, especially during this time, but I can already tell they will be so close growing up. Life really does work in mysterious ways!

    Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you! No matter how far apart they are in age there are pros and cons and it’s scary to think about that big of a change. You’re going to be great!
