A week ago today, we brought our daughter into the world ♥️ Rozlo Raya Gunnarson 7lbs 8oz Born as a natural breech birth ✨ This week has already changed our lives forever. We love you so much Baby Rozlo. @sirgunnarson Thank you to our doula @laurenguilfordbirths for being alongside us all through labor and delivery, and for capturing some of the most precious moments of our entire lives. We couldn’t imagine the process without you. Thank you to our midwife @lamidwifeabby for your constant support and guidance our entire pregnancy journey. We’ve felt so loved, taken care of and surrounded by you even after our home birth plans had to shift. You continue to literally be a gift from God for us. Thank you to the one and only Dr. Yalda Afshar • @the_afshar_lab • at UCLA. You allowed me a natural birth option when the vast majority of doctors and hospitals told me it simply wasn’t possible. It took a lot of closed doors to find you but they were all worth it. Thank you for what you do, who you are, and how you are teaching the next generation. We appreciate you beyond words. Rozlo, we know that just like the day of your birth you’re going to forge new trails that many say aren’t possible, open up people’s hearts and minds to things as amazing and rare as you are, and be as if a fresh fragrance to every room and relationship you encounter. Love, Mommy Daddy #breechbirth #informedbirth

Two months ago, we had yet to meet our baby girl. We had no idea how she would arrive, or in which way she’d make her grand and unforgettable entrance. We had no idea what her first cry would sound like, or how it would bring us to tears of relief in every way a person can feel it. We had no idea how beautiful her tiny hands would be, or how big her hilarious little tuft of jack-jack hair would make us smile. We didn’t know that her toes would look like baby cheese puffs, or that her eyes and perfect face would reflect the absolute likeness of her daddy and beautiful Nana. Rozlo is two months old, and all the things we had no idea about have quickly become a highlight reel for our family. Here’s to looking back fondly on the path we walked to get here. Half the time we barely knew where we were stepping, but God’s crazy grace, love, and guidance brought us the most precious little girl we could’ve ever dreamed of. It’s a very grateful kind of moment 🤎 Thank you @katemoorephoto for capturing these precious moments!!! You are brilliant, generous, and were a breath of fresh air amidst a very emotional time.
We just want to be more like Rozlo. Effortlessly fashion forward, carefree cool, & irresistibly cute. Today’s outfit inspired by the Swiss Alps 😂 Thank you Auntie for you style help and camera genius @mariiahrothmann 🙌🏻
Cheering daddy on with my tiny darling ☀️
My most precious, darling Rozlo. It’s been over two weeks since her birth and already feels like “how is that possible…” Time and sleep are as if a vortex, but so are the historical laughter moments when Ryan and I are singing her a lullaby and busting up laughing at her milk drunk faces and smiles. The closeness, her responses to us, the gas and blowouts that create a diary of hilarious memories, the tiny feet prints that took us forever to get pretty close to right, seeing tiny baby chub rolls starting to form, washcloth facials that we call her spa time, Ryan and Rozlo daddy-daughter hours in the mornings so I can catch a couple extra hours of sleep, delicious meals and love from so many close friends, my mom and dad being here to help SO much and cleaning every inch of our house inside and out, that relief feeling when the sun comes up and we successfully made it through another night, the true and undeniable journey of breastfeeding, the pain that nipples can truly inflict upon a person, and the way that all of this newness and learning and sleepiness and glorious adventure makes sense because Rozlo is here and this new chapter is nothing short of an answer to so many prayers. To my incredible husband and baby-daddy @sirgunnarson ♥️ thank you for every “what can I get you,” and “go lay down, I’ve got this,” kind gesture, coconut water run, diaper change, bottle feed, late night hour partnering, early morning hero moment, and everything in between that you’ve been doing for Rozlo and I.
I’ll take my mocha in a sheer button down please. Just strolling through Santa Monica with the husband and sweet babe. Biker shorts and this button down from @shoppinkblush – essential. Having cool & flowing layers for nursing and to feel comfortable are everything I want postpartum! Wearing a M in this lil number for the perfect oversized look, and loving it. Yes please and thank you to anything in the beige adjacent family of fabric 🙌🏻 Use code AQUEELA25 for 25% off @pinkblushmaternity @shoppinkblush #prettyinpinkblush #pinkblushmaternity #pbambassador #shoppinkblush #ad
I literally haven’t done my hair in weeks and am not entirely sure when the last time I took a shower is #newmomlife 😂 As Ryan and I send my parents home with love today, we wanted to snap some quick and cute pics all together. Thank the almighty God that Ryan ordered me @purecoastnaturals Organic Dry Shampoo. I believe in the couple behind this product and freaking love that the ingredients are literally so clean you could eat them. Also, not mad about the zero waste, no residue, that it gave me incredible volume, and did all the extra work so I didn’t have to 🙌🏻

Walking into Friday like 🤎 Why does a puff sleeve do such wonderful things to my soul? The 4th trimester is truly a whole new kind of adventure, which is why anything that gives me a chance to feel fresh, fun, and feminine is like GOOOLLLLD. Little eyeliner, bronzer, & puff sleeve dress – mission accomplished. Any postpartum mama’s, just know – I salute you xxx @pinkblushmaternity @shoppinkblush #prettyinpinkblush #pinkblushmaternity #pbambassador #shoppinkblush #sponsored #newmamalife

N e w • M a m a • T h i n g s Ok so 🙂 the Owlet Dream Duo was something I knew I wanted to try with our first little one so I was super grateful that Owlet #sponsored our family so that we could try it out while Rozlo naps in the nursery. There’s nothing more important than her safety (it literally keeps me up at night lol). Being a #newmama has meant that every fiber in my being wants and needs to know that she’s ok at all times, so this has been a wonderful asset for exactly that reason. So far my favorite features of the Owlet Cam and Dream Sock Duo are that they stream audio & HD video straight to my phone, include a temperature sensor that lets me know how comfortable her nursery is, and they track her sleep patterns and quality of sleep all in one place. @owletcare #sponsored
