Sunsets are better with our baby girl. 💕 ![Seven weeks with our Luna girl. 💗
.
The last seven weeks have been crazier than I could have ever expected. My body is still not healing properly 😭, which means multiple procedures (like literally four), lots of follow up appointments, and lots of medicine. 😅 But we are more in love with our sweet angel than we ever could have imagined. She truly makes us the happiest, and even in the middle of the night, we just stare at her in complete awe. She smells like heaven and when her tiny hand squeezes my finger, I think I might die of happiness. She also started smiling back at us this week and we are obsessed. 🥰
.
We haven’t moved from the couch much these last seven weeks, but every single day feels like absolute magic. ✨

Swipe to see how much Luna loves being smothered by her parents. 😂]()

When Ryan and I were driving across Italy 2 years ago, we decided to make a list of baby names we liked. We made a list of about 7 and over the next two years, a few of those were used by our siblings. 😜
.
When we found out we were pregnant with a baby girl, we narrowed down the list to about 4 and decided we wanted to wait until she was born before we decided on a name. And for the next 9 months, we literally didn’t talk about it again. 😂
.
But as soon as she was born, Luna was the only name that felt right. She felt like our little Luna angel. We originally had the name Luna on our list, because we just really liked it, but also because it’s Spanish for “moon,” (Ryan speaks Spanish) and our favorite beach in the world Sarakiniko in Milos looks like the moon, so it felt like a special tribute to our favorite place and now our favorite person.
.
Brooks is my maiden name, and since Luna automatically gets her dad’s family name, we wanted her to have a piece of my family in her name too. I have four sisters who are all the definition of strong, independent women who go after what they want and pursue their dreams, so I wanted Luna to always remember that and know that she can do absolutely anything she puts her little mind to just like them. And since it’s my family name, I hope it helps her remember her grandpa that she won’t ever meet on earth, but I like to believe she already knows him from heaven. ❤️]()

The @owletcare Monitor Duo includes the Owlet Camera and Smart Sock 3, so we can see, hear, and know our little Luna is okay from practically anywhere! The Smart Sock tracks her heart rate and oxygen level, which gives us SO much peace of mind and helps us worry less and sleep more. #ad]()

Since it’s already February, we feel like it's time to make sure we're not slipping on our yearly goals. This year, we decided to implement small daily changes, so that we could easily accomplish our goals and, ultimately, see bigger results. A few small things we’re doing this year: starting our mornings with our @ritual vitamins, journaling for 5 minutes a day, planning out our meals for the week, and putting our phones away and reading (instead of mindlessly scrolling) before bed every night. We want to be more present than ever this year (especially as we’re about to have a newborn!), and taking care of our physical and mental health is so important so we can do that.
.
We’ve been taking @ritual for over a year now, and we’re both obsessed! I’ve been taking the Prenatal, and Ryan’s been taking the Essential for Men, and we both feel so much better knowing we’re getting key nutrients to help fill the gaps in our diet every day. @Ritual is vegan-friendly, non-GMO, gluten & allergen-free, and it doesn’t have any shady fillers or additives, so we feel confident knowing we’re only putting clean nutrients in our bodies. And it has methylated forms of Folate and B12, which are especially important for pregnancy.
