Postpartum is so hard. Our babies are about the same age, we just hit 3months this week. I’ve had such bad PPA, some PPD and it’s just a lot to process. I appreciate you opening up, I think it helps to just talk about and normalize for other new moms ❤
I have been meaning to comment on your vlogs and keep forgetting. Lmao. My baby just turned one. However, I love how transparent you’ve been about your PP journey. I can tell you’re holding back a bit with expressing how you feel and it makes me want to give you a big hug. Most days I still feel like I’m struggling to navigate. Other days I am like “okay I’ve got this”. One of the hardest things for me PP were definitely expectations. From what I thought I’d be able to accomplish in a day (feeling like a failure when I only got like one thing done I intended to do) to thinking people would be there for me to help out and no one showing up. I can’t tell you how many people said they’d bring over a meal and then no one person did. I’ve genuinely thought about going to therapy sometime soon bc her first birthday almost felt triggering if how alone I felt (my husband works long hours too). I could go on… but **big hugs** you’re doing an amazing job ❤
My son turns 3 next month and I still struggle sometimes. ❤❤ Solidarity momma. Postpartum is a journey not a destination. Sending love and hope you can find your groove again. 🫶🏼
I definitely struggled with my first! PPA was off the charts, with my second I really honestly can’t remember months 1-6 with him and it kills me. PPD then was awful! It’s all a blur 😢. With my third I was definitely much better. I did get pregnant back to back three times, so that definitely didn’t help. But those breaks, are a life saver! My oldest is 4 years now (he has autism) and I’m still trying to navigate life with him starting school, and therapies plus his younger siblings being toddlers! It’s crazy! But you will miss those baby days and it does get better! 🥹
I hope you get some alone time and out of the house. My husband was not out golfing when I was dealing with this much 😢 So I hope you both have a balanced out of the house with no baby life! If not, try that it helps SO much!
U truly are doing incredible even making a video is a lot add on just having a baby postpartum wow I’ve had a lot friends survival mode with kids is a huge one
I love watching this content because my son is 15 months and I’m still finding a way to reset my expectations daily. Honestly, postpartum was insanely lonely once hubby went back to work so I think grandma coming over might seem intrusive at first but can become a beautiful relationship between you, her and baby. I leaned in my neighbor who was a grandmother and it was the best thing I ever did, my son basically got a third grandmother out of it. Reaching out to friends to come brighten your day, just to get yourself out of the trenches can be so hard to practice but always felt best to me afterward. Yes it meant putting aside my to do list but ultimately, these babies grow up and that list will always remain so what’s the harm 😉. You’re doing great and I appreciate you opening up about therapy 🫶🏻
I’m 7 days postpartum, first time mom, and having a hard time figuring out feeding. Do you exclusively pump? Would love to know what route you’ve chosen to go and what your routine in
My postpartum journey was difficult. I STRUGGLED. I actually didn’t know how bad it was until the fog lifted. Looking back I was a zombie just trying to survive each and everyday. It didn’t help that I moved states at 6 months pregnant and didn’t have any friends or family around. My husband was in the military and deployed when our son was 5 months so I ended up doing it alone until our son turned 1. I would do a lot differently now if I had another baby. Just know things get easier💖
food canister wise, I wish I would have just initially gone with glass containers. theyre so much easier to keep clean. a bit more expensive up front but last longer, usually cuter too. just thought Id mention that
My first daughter I was okay I cried a lot and my husband was amazing. ( I pulled my back out & I was limited to lift, go up& down stairs. My second baby girl was easy as pick two push and the doctor was running in the room. When she was five days old my pediatrician called to tell me that her newborn screening can back and she has to go for a sweat test to see if she had Cystic Fibrosis. She does I cried a lot ask why me? How? So many questions? (They know do screening before have a baby). I had my third baby girl and she also has CF. I learned a lot having friends to come see me. My oldest does not have CF. I would love to hear everything. I enjoy your blogs and look forward to watching your next. I am hoping you are safe from this hurricane.
I had my son early too but he was 7 weeks early and had to spend 25 days in the nicu. It was hard…she’s going to be 6 months old next week and is thriving. I am a stay at home mom and we are now sort of in a routine. But again things can change in a moments notice. Postpartum was rough in the beginning but now I feel like I am ‘sort’ of back to myself. I also have a great partner and husband.

Sooo fun tip to help, any time you bring home rice pasta or flour throw it in the freezer over night it kills anything that may be laying dormant.
yes! i learned this from my mom who took certified food preservation/canning classes

Gorgeous name for this gorgeous little one. There is even a comet by the similarity name of Tsuchinshan-Atlas. It gets easier.

I always knew you would be an amazing mom! So happy to follow your journey ❤
Freeze grains and flour before putting it on pantry shelf…😊
Also not sure if you baby wear but then you can do all the things while he is on you. Life saving!
Maybe the green chairs either side on sofa like flanking. Sweetie you might wanna look at round coffee table. ☺️ Will save on bumps and bruises 💕
Night night sleep tight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite ❤
Aweeee his little arm around his Mama’s arm..❤️❤️❤️
why does it matter what they look like longs it gets the job done? no one who comes over will care what they look like
