I posted my first blog post, When life gives you a baby in February and it actually turned out to be one my favorite posts. Motherhood has been an amazing topic to blog about, and I loved having a place to express my thoughts and feelings through this journey. I had always wanted to start a blog, and I really… Continue reading A “see you later,” not “goodbye”.
A couple blog posts ago, I did an audio interview with Cassie Francis. Since it was pretty short, I wanted to do a video that goes more in-depth on her amazing story overcoming the difficulties of teen pregnancy. (I also wanted an excuse to show you her ADORABLE daughter, Mia!) Cassie found out she was… Continue reading Cassandra Francis’s story on young motherhood
It was SO overwhelming when I registered for my baby shower. I wanted to make sure I added everything I needed, rather than small unnecessary items. But how do you know what you need? How many blankets should a baby have? What is the difference between receiving blankets and swaddle blankets? Sometimes registering can be more stressful… Continue reading A Mom’s Guide: Baby Registry Must Haves!
Technically, postpartum period can last up to about six months after delivery. That is how long it takes the inner parts of your body to get back to “normal” (Or I guess their new “normal”). Even though medically it takes up to six months for your body to adjust to not being pregnant, I disagree that is when the postpartum period ends. Physically,… Continue reading What is the “postpartum period”?
Barry and I were on spring break last week, so we decided to have a family day with Madelyn. Even though she is old enough to have some fun during our activities, Barry insists these days are solely for my enjoyment. I guess I can’t disagree with that one. We decided to visit Adventure Aquarium and since I am a crazy mom,… Continue reading Spring break at Adventure Aquarium
My last blog post, “Mommy meltdown” touched on the subject of car seats. I had my first meltdown over the stress and effort car seats require to properly secure a baby. There are rules on how low/high the straps should be, tests to see if the straps are tight enough, what is/is not allowed to go between… Continue reading Meet car seat tech Emily Corby
I was a pretty calm and unemotional pregnant person, so Barry and I were both surprised that my first real meltdown happened two days after I stopped being pregnant.
Over the course of my motherhood journey, I’ve gathered a few questions I had to ask my pediatrician and other moms and decided to create a list with real answers. It’s the brutal truth, but don’t worry- we all somehow make it out alive. Is my baby supposed to be spitting up this much? Your child is going… Continue reading Motherhood FAQ
It felt like someone punched me in the stomach when I saw those two pink lines on a pregnancy test I thought was going to be negative. I would have never bought it if Barry didn’t give me $20 on my way to Rite Aid a few weeks before. Which by the way, $20 is… Continue reading When life gives you a baby
