Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Yesterday, I turned to @bethanycmeyers and said, “People must think we’re obsessed with our family,” and without missing a beat, she replied, “We are.” And honestly, we’re loving this phase of life. Here’s to all the family-obsessed folks living for early bedtimes, morning snuggles, sandy feet, and saying peepee and poopoo more times than you can count. Enjoy these photos from our maternity shoot with the incredibly talented @createanomaly.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Things are expanding in the Meyers-Tortorella household—our hearts, our family, and my belly. 🥰 We are happy to announce that baby number two is coming in October. It took years to conceive our first, and this baby made its way into our lives as soon as we touched down at the ocean, which still feels completely surreal. Already, I see the personality differences between our first and second. Which makes me feel like so much of fertility and family expansion is divine timing. We did all the earthly tactics to get our babies, while our babies did all the heavenly ones. Together, we combine forces to prepare for their grand entrance into the world. To @nicotortorella, I can’t wait to go down this path again—one that is both familiar and completely unknown. Thank you for being the ultimate belly-rubber, crepe-finder, and Kilmer-soother so I can tack on another 30 minutes to my nap. Kilmer Dove, you are my first, and I love you. But pretty soon, I’m gonna need you to stop jamming your finger into my belly button while yelling ‘BA BA!!’ Lastly, I want to acknowledge that when you’ve experienced pregnancy loss or have struggled to conceive, pregnancy announcements always feel bittersweet, sometimes even your own. It’s not lost on me that some people reading this are still hoping for their first while I announce my second. There are never any words that make it better, so I won’t try to offer them. I will just let you know that you are seen and your sorrow is held, even in my joy. Love you all. Thank you, as always, for the endless support and understanding as we make these big life changes.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Sharing the best photos I’ve ever taken in my entire life. Please enjoy round 1 from our maternity shoot. This is our little boardwalk to the beach. When we first moved to Florida in January, Kilmer was 10 months old. Each time we went to the beach, I would let her crawl down the boardwalk and think to myself, soon she’ll be running down this thing. I just so happened to get pregnant the same day we moved to Florida. And soon, she was running and I began to envision pregnant me walking with Kilmer down this path. And lately the visions have shifted to holding a newborn in one arm and Kilmer’s hand with the other while making our way to the ocean. This little boardwalk has become a special place. Big blue crabs often hide in earth surrounding us. We’ve seen snakes and birds and all kinds of critters that have made it a fun stop. It’s the shade from the sun, the place we swat mosquitoes and the spot where we strip down and wash the sand off our body while playing in the hose water. I wanted pictures with her here so badly and @createanomaly made that dream come true. I’ll always think fondly on these special moments together. Life before two. Just me and my first in barefoot exploration.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - I’m currently writing this caption at 7:30 pm on 3/5/24. Kilmer was born at 9:39 pm on 3/5/23 which means at this moment, one year ago I was at the most challenging part of my labor. They call it “transition” - the end of active labor right before you start pushing. For most birthers, it’s the moment where you want to give up, and I was no exception. I remember cursing my home birth and thinking if I were in a hospital I’d have them pump me with every drug on earth (in actuality I’m so grateful for my unmedicated birth and would do it 100x’s over bc it was the right decision for ME) Transition. The final stage before you push. The second to last stage before baby takes their first breath and you become a mother. The hardest point that ushers in the biggest reward. Transition is right. What a transition this year has been. One I had no idea would affect me so deeply or so profoundly. I don’t know if it’s this way for everyone, I certainly don’t think you need to have a baby to experience life altering change, but I did. That I know. I was meant to have Kilmer, and she was meant to have me, and Nico and I were meant to have this family. About a week after Kilmer was born, we had her chart read by the incredible @jennracioppi and last night we listened to the recording, a tradition we plan to do every year on her birthday. One consistent theme that kept coming up when our charts were read all together was that the three of us created a little universe. Me being the soil for Kilmer - the nourishment, the grounding. Nico being the sky - the light, the possibility. And Kilmer being the space between - helping us both root deeper and grow taller. Kilmer Dove Meyers Tortorella, you have opened up a whole new universe for us. A hallmark of your birth chart is “healer” and you have already began your life’s work. Thank you for choosing me, for choosing us. We waited a long time for you and it was worth every. single. second. Photos from Kilmer’s birthday party by the very talented @ashtonroyalcreative (highly recommend if you are seeking a south Florida photographer!)

I was meant to have Kilmer, and she was meant to have me, and Nico and I were meant to have this family. About a week after Kilmer was born, we had her chart read by the incredible @jennracioppi and last night we listened to the recording, a tradition we plan to do every year on her birthday. One consistent theme that kept coming up when our charts were read all together was that the three of us created a little universe. Me being the soil for Kilmer - the nourishment, the grounding. Nico being the sky - the light, the possibility. And Kilmer being the space between - helping us both root deeper and grow taller. Kilmer Dove Meyers Tortorella, you have opened up a whole new universe for us. A hallmark of your birth chart is “healer” and you have already began your life’s work. Thank you for choosing me, for choosing us. We waited a long time for you and it was worth every. single. second.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - I’m currently writing this caption at 7:30 pm on 3/5/24. Kilmer was born at 9:39 pm on 3/5/23 which means at this moment, one year ago I was at the most challenging part of my labor. They call it “transition” - the end of active labor right before you start pushing. For most birthers, it’s the moment where you want to give up, and I was no exception. I remember cursing my home birth and thinking if I were in a hospital I’d have them pump me with every drug on earth (in actuality I’m so grateful for my unmedicated birth and would do it 100x’s over bc it was the right decision for ME) Transition. The final stage before you push. The second to last stage before baby takes their first breath and you become a mother. The hardest point that ushers in the biggest reward. Transition is right.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Our decision to move to Florida still blows my mind when I really stop to think about it. If you had told me a year ago this is where we’d be, I would have laughed in your face. I talk about this in an older post but both Nico and I feel as though Kilmer lead us there. From her first visit we felt very pulled to make the move which both excited and surprised us. When I’ve talked about this online I’ve been met with a mix of “that’s amazing!” and also “how could you?!” - which kind of makes me giggle at just how adamantly folks feel about where you chose to live. I’m assuming most of the haters are now happy for our move given Florida could use some extra progressive minds and votes…especially these days, but that’s not what this post is about. This is about the other soul that was rooting for our move. Our second baby - who we conceived quite literally the very first day we arrived in our new state. The month before our move we were at our fertility clinic, meeting with our doctor for family planning. We did an IUI cycle which means they closely watch and predict ovulation, wash the sperm and manually inseminate directly into the uterus. It’s perfectly timed for optimal results. When I didn’t fall pregnant I had so many fears that we were in for another long fertility journey just like we had gone through for Kilmer Dove. Our first day in Florida I had an inkling I might be ovulating. I didn’t pee on a stick or even open my tracking app. I don’t need to go into more detail here because you know what happened, but that baby said…I’m home! and snuggled its way into my lining. When we found out we were pregnant it hit us that Kilmer didn’t want to move to Florida just for her, she wanted to go get her baby sibling. And our second baby was willing us here as well. And it just served as the most beautiful reminder to trust your gut. To lean into the unknown. To know that sometimes you have tear up what it looks like on paper and do the thing that feels right. The end always leads to the beginning.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Another birthday for my babe and another round up of photos that tell our story. We have now known each other for 18 years and given you met me when you were 18, you’ve now known me for half of your life. Unbelievable.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - I have not wanted to write this post because I just didn’t want it to be true - my first dog, hell…my first baby - is no longer with us. Papa, you lived a beautiful, long life and brought us many laughs and cuddles. I hope you’re rolling in bear poop, howling with sirens, trotting around with perfect hair that I did NOT have to cut myself (Covid days) and living your best nature dog life with all the other fur angels. You were the cutest little rescue that ever did exist. Your presence is still felt in the house… it’s just not the same without you. Thanks for teaching Kilmer her fourth words “bad dog” 😅. We love you Poppy.

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - Priceless captures from our fish / ocean / pearl themed baby sprinkle a few weeks ago 🥹 Between the poem my niece wrote for us, the blessing bowl, the book signing for Baby P and a room filled of loving friends, it was the perfect ceremony for the new life that’s entering our family so soon. Some say you shouldn’t do showers past baby 1 and to that I say I plan to shower each of my kids in some way shape or form. Not for the gifts, which will always be optional, but to honor the baby and the expanding family (see the snip from my speech). Maybe it’s just because it took us so long to get pregnant with Kilmer and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be having a baby two years in a row, but I couldn’t imagine not having this day. Thank you to my sister in law, nieces and mom for planning something so perfect. @stagingwithpurpose @grandmashe If anyone is interested, I’m happy to share more about the blessing bowl, book table or anything else via stories in the coming days! Lmk xx Also, I love you @nicotortorella and Kilmer Dove 🐠🕊️🐝 Photos by the talented @ashtonroyalcreative

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - I like to think I do a pretty good job of keeping it real on here but sometimes I post happy carousels of photos like this and I wonder if it’s misleading. Not that every post needs to be a reminder that sorrow is synonymous with joy and instagram is only a teensy snippet of life, but it’s just so easy to look at our online follows and compare lives. It’s not often we reach for our phone to “capture the moment” when we are having a fight about sippy cups with our significant other. And it’s unlikely anyone wants to document the tears they’re shedding about just how hard the transition into motherhood is as they grieve the friendships, time and self lost. And of course, we take photos of the cute restaurant moments but not photos of the fact that we currently eat a lot of meals alone as the other caregiver walks our high-chair-refusing toddler around the restaurant. So later we scroll our videos and photos and memories with a smile bc that’s what artifacts we have. And then we post our weekend recaps and remember the good times because at the end of the day they really are good times. But sometimes I look at other people and think wow their baby eats every single meal with a smile. And wow those two must never argue. And wow she’s so great at being a mother to three kids why do I struggle with just one?? So as I post this recap of what my memory will tell me was the most perfect birthday weekend with my family I could have ever imagined - it was after all - I also share that all good times are sprinkled with tough times no matter how good your instagram post looks. :)

Bethany C. Meyers Instagram - 21 weeks! Over the halfway mark and things are feeling REAL. Not just the typical symptoms of the last half of pregnancy, but the very real feeling that our family of three is going to be a family of four. Gotta be honest, I’m a little nervous about the change, I’ve heard the jump from one to two is the hardest. Without scaring the crap out of me, what are things you noticed, wished you had prepared for or suggestions for making this leap? 🙏 And then, please enjoy the rest of this random roundup of quotes I like and pics I love. Side note the “talks a lot” one cracks me up bc there was not a report, paper or class I took where I didn’t get that feedback and gotta say, worked out well for me!

Likes : 59520Bethany C. Meyers - 26.9K Likes - Things are expanding in the Meyers-Tortorella household—our hearts, our family, and my belly. 🥰 We are happy to announce that baby number two is coming in October. It took years to conceive our first, and this baby made its way into our lives as soon as we touched down at the ocean, which still feels completely surreal. Already, I see the personality differences between our first and second. Which makes me feel like so much of fertility and family expansion is divine timing. We did all the earthly tactics to get our babies, while our babies did all the heavenly ones. Together, we combine forces to prepare for their grand entrance into the world. To @nicotortorella, I can’t wait to go down this path again—one that is both familiar and completely unknown. Thank you for being the ultimate belly-rubber, crepe-finder, and Kilmer-soother so I can tack on another 30 minutes to my nap. Kilmer Dove, you are my first, and I love you. But pretty soon, I’m gonna need you to stop jamming your finger into my belly button while yelling ‘BA BA!!’ Lastly, I want to acknowledge that when you’ve experienced pregnancy loss or have struggled to conceive, pregnancy announcements always feel bittersweet, sometimes even your own. It’s not lost on me that some people reading this are still hoping for their first while I announce my second. There are never any words that make it better, so I won’t try to offer them. I will just let you know that you are seen and your sorrow is held, even in my joy. Love you all. Thank you, as always, for the endless support and understanding as we make these big life changes.

To @nicotortorella, I can’t wait to go down this path again—one that is both familiar and completely unknown. Thank you for being the ultimate belly-rubber, crepe-finder, and Kilmer-soother so I can tack on another 30 minutes to my nap. Kilmer Dove, you are my first, and I love you. But pretty soon, I’m gonna need you to stop jamming your finger into my belly button while yelling ‘BA BA!!’ Lastly, I want to acknowledge that when you’ve experienced pregnancy loss or have struggled to conceive, pregnancy announcements always feel bittersweet, sometimes even your own. It’s not lost on me that some people reading this are still hoping for their first while I announce my second. There are never any words that make it better, so I won’t try to offer them. I will just let you know that you are seen and your sorrow is held, even in my joy. Love you all. Thank you, as always, for the endless support and understanding as we make these big life changes.

When we first moved to Florida in January, Kilmer was 10 months old. Each time we went to the beach, I would let her crawl down the boardwalk and think to myself, soon she’ll be running down this thing. I just so happened to get pregnant the same day we moved to Florida. And soon, she was running and I began to envision pregnant me walking with Kilmer down this path. And lately the visions have shifted to holding a newborn in one arm and Kilmer’s hand with the other while making our way to the ocean. This little boardwalk has become a special place. Big blue crabs often hide in earth surrounding us. We’ve seen snakes and birds and all kinds of critters that have made it a fun stop. It’s the shade from the sun, the place we swat mosquitoes and the spot where we strip down and wash the sand off our body while playing in the hose water. I wanted pictures with her here so badly and @createanomaly made that dream come true. I’ll always think fondly on these special moments together. Life before two. Just me and my first in barefoot exploration.

Kilmer was born at 9:39 pm on 3/5/23 which means at this moment, one year ago I was at the most challenging part of my labor. They call it “transition” - the end of active labor right before you start pushing. For most birthers, it’s the moment where you want to give up, and I was no exception. I remember cursing my home birth and thinking if I were in a hospital I’d have them pump me with every drug on earth (in actuality I’m so grateful for my unmedicated birth and would do it 100x’s over bc it was the right decision for ME) Transition. The final stage before you push. The second to last stage before baby takes their first breath and you become a mother. The hardest point that ushers in the biggest reward. Transition is right. What a transition this year has been. One I had no idea would affect me so deeply or so profoundly. I don’t know if it’s this way for everyone, I certainly don’t think you need to have a baby to experience life altering change, but I did. That I know. I was meant to have Kilmer, and she was meant to have me, and Nico and I were meant to have this family. About a week after Kilmer was born, we had her chart read by the incredible @jennracioppi and last night we listened to the recording, a tradition we plan to do every year on her birthday. One consistent theme that kept coming up when our charts were read all together was that the three of us created a little universe. Me being the soil for Kilmer - the nourishment, the grounding. Nico being the sky - the light, the possibility. And Kilmer being the space between - helping us both root deeper and grow taller. Kilmer Dove Meyers Tortorella, you have opened up a whole new universe for us. A hallmark of your birth chart is “healer” and you have already began your life’s work. Thank you for choosing me, for choosing us. We waited a long time for you and it was worth every. single. second.

One consistent theme that kept coming up when our charts were read all together was that the three of us created a little universe. Me being the soil for Kilmer - the nourishment, the grounding. Nico being the sky - the light, the possibility. And Kilmer being the space between - helping us both root deeper and grow taller. Kilmer Dove Meyers Tortorella, you have opened up a whole new universe for us. A hallmark of your birth chart is “healer” and you have already began your life’s work. Thank you for choosing me, for choosing us. We waited a long time for you and it was worth every. single. second.

Caption : I’m currently writing this caption at 7:30 pm on 3/5/24. Kilmer was born at 9:39 pm on 3/5/23 which means at this moment, one year ago I was at the most challenging part of my labor. They call it “transition” – the end of active labor right before you start pushing. For most birthers, it’s the moment where you want to give up, and I was no exception. I remember cursing my home birth and thinking if I were in a hospital I’d have them pump me with every drug on earth (in actuality I’m so grateful for my unmedicated birth and would do it 100x’s over bc it was the right decision for ME) Transition. The final stage before you push. The second to last stage before baby takes their first breath and you become a mother. The hardest point that ushers in the biggest reward. Transition is right. What a transition this year has been. One I had no idea would affect me so deeply or so profoundly. I don’t know if it’s this way for everyone, I certainly don’t think you need to have a baby to experience life altering change, but I did. That I know.

Likes : 14919Bethany C. Meyers - 14.4K Likes - Our decision to move to Florida still blows my mind when I really stop to think about it. If you had told me a year ago this is where we’d be, I would have laughed in your face. I talk about this in an older post but both Nico and I feel as though Kilmer lead us there. From her first visit we felt very pulled to make the move which both excited and surprised us. When I’ve talked about this online I’ve been met with a mix of “that’s amazing!” and also “how could you?!” - which kind of makes me giggle at just how adamantly folks feel about where you chose to live. I’m assuming most of the haters are now happy for our move given Florida could use some extra progressive minds and votes…especially these days, but that’s not what this post is about. This is about the other soul that was rooting for our move. Our second baby - who we conceived quite literally the very first day we arrived in our new state. The month before our move we were at our fertility clinic, meeting with our doctor for family planning. We did an IUI cycle which means they closely watch and predict ovulation, wash the sperm and manually inseminate directly into the uterus. It’s perfectly timed for optimal results. When I didn’t fall pregnant I had so many fears that we were in for another long fertility journey just like we had gone through for Kilmer Dove. Our first day in Florida I had an inkling I might be ovulating. I didn’t pee on a stick or even open my tracking app. I don’t need to go into more detail here because you know what happened, but that baby said…I’m home! and snuggled its way into my lining. When we found out we were pregnant it hit us that Kilmer didn’t want to move to Florida just for her, she wanted to go get her baby sibling. And our second baby was willing us here as well. And it just served as the most beautiful reminder to trust your gut. To lean into the unknown. To know that sometimes you have tear up what it looks like on paper and do the thing that feels right. The end always leads to the beginning.

I didn’t pee on a stick or even open my tracking app. I don’t need to go into more detail here because you know what happened, but that baby said…I’m home! and snuggled its way into my lining. When we found out we were pregnant it hit us that Kilmer didn’t want to move to Florida just for her, she wanted to go get her baby sibling. And our second baby was willing us here as well. And it just served as the most beautiful reminder to trust your gut. To lean into the unknown. To know that sometimes you have tear up what it looks like on paper and do the thing that feels right. The end always leads to the beginning.

Papa, you lived a beautiful, long life and brought us many laughs and cuddles. I hope you’re rolling in bear poop, howling with sirens, trotting around with perfect hair that I did NOT have to cut myself (Covid days) and living your best nature dog life with all the other fur angels. You were the cutest little rescue that ever did exist. Your presence is still felt in the house… it’s just not the same without you. Thanks for teaching Kilmer her fourth words “bad dog” 😅. We love you Poppy.

Some say you shouldn’t do showers past baby 1 and to that I say I plan to shower each of my kids in some way shape or form. Not for the gifts, which will always be optional, but to honor the baby and the expanding family (see the snip from my speech). Maybe it’s just because it took us so long to get pregnant with Kilmer and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be having a baby two years in a row, but I couldn’t imagine not having this day. Thank you to my sister in law, nieces and mom for planning something so perfect. @stagingwithpurpose @grandmashe If anyone is interested, I’m happy to share more about the blessing bowl, book table or anything else via stories in the coming days!

Likes : 10039Bethany C. Meyers - 9.7K Likes - I like to think I do a pretty good job of keeping it real on here but sometimes I post happy carousels of photos like this and I wonder if it’s misleading. Not that every post needs to be a reminder that sorrow is synonymous with joy and instagram is only a teensy snippet of life, but it’s just so easy to look at our online follows and compare lives. It’s not often we reach for our phone to “capture the moment” when we are having a fight about sippy cups with our significant other. And it’s unlikely anyone wants to document the tears they’re shedding about just how hard the transition into motherhood is as they grieve the friendships, time and self lost. And of course, we take photos of the cute restaurant moments but not photos of the fact that we currently eat a lot of meals alone as the other caregiver walks our high-chair-refusing toddler around the restaurant. So later we scroll our videos and photos and memories with a smile bc that’s what artifacts we have. And then we post our weekend recaps and remember the good times because at the end of the day they really are good times. But sometimes I look at other people and think wow their baby eats every single meal with a smile. And wow those two must never argue. And wow she’s so great at being a mother to three kids why do I struggle with just one?? So as I post this recap of what my memory will tell me was the most perfect birthday weekend with my family I could have ever imagined - it was after all - I also share that all good times are sprinkled with tough times no matter how good your instagram post looks. :)

And it’s unlikely anyone wants to document the tears they’re shedding about just how hard the transition into motherhood is as they grieve the friendships, time and self lost. And of course, we take photos of the cute restaurant moments but not photos of the fact that we currently eat a lot of meals alone as the other caregiver walks our high-chair-refusing toddler around the restaurant. So later we scroll our videos and photos and memories with a smile bc that’s what artifacts we have. And then we post our weekend recaps and remember the good times because at the end of the day they really are good times. But sometimes I look at other people and think wow their baby eats every single meal with a smile. And wow those two must never argue. And wow she’s so great at being a mother to three kids why do I struggle with just one?? So as I post this recap of what my memory will tell me was the most perfect birthday weekend with my family I could have ever imagined - it was after all - I also share that all good times are sprinkled with tough times no matter how good your instagram post looks. :)

Likes : 9324Bethany C. Meyers - 9.3K Likes - 21 weeks! Over the halfway mark and things are feeling REAL. Not just the typical symptoms of the last half of pregnancy, but the very real feeling that our family of three is going to be a family of four. Gotta be honest, I’m a little nervous about the change, I’ve heard the jump from one to two is the hardest. Without scaring the crap out of me, what are things you noticed, wished you had prepared for or suggestions for making this leap? 🙏 And then, please enjoy the rest of this random roundup of quotes I like and pics I love. Side note the “talks a lot” one cracks me up bc there was not a report, paper or class I took where I didn’t get that feedback and gotta say, worked out well for me!
