Looking back on July it was quite the month. Jenn had two battle c-diff twice, spending a lot of her month back at the doctors, while Elle continued to grow, her personality just starting to poke through.

Elle’s first month has just come to a close and what a crazy month it has been. We are so lucky to be her parents, and I’m grateful to be able to write this while everyone is home, healthy, and happy.

I have the honor and privilege to introduce you to Elle Maria Szerlip, our beautiful daughter who was born on May 31st at 5:09 PM.

We’re coming down the home stretch. As I write this recap Jenn is now 36 weeks and we know her arrival is imminent. April was a month fully dedicated to prepping for her arrival, one that we cannot wait for.

From the lows of being at UCSF hospital in San Francisco to devouring the pasta-tasting menu at Rezdora, March 2024 had a little bit of everything. Can you believe we’re going to be parents in a few months?

What a beautiful month of celebrating life, celebrating being together, and looking to the future. Whether it was our last big trip before our daughter arrived or it was celebrating her with our family in California it was a beautiful month and one that I will always look back on fondly.
