Dear mama, You've just come through it, haven't you? I remember the complete shock when my first child was born. My first thought was "Whoa, heavy!" It was a water birth & as soon as he was in my arms, I realized why it was so crazy carrying him those last few weeks- 9 lbs… Continue reading How to Recover from Birth

How I trained baby #2 to sleep
At first I was going to title this, "How I trained baby #2 to sleep through the night". But, I decided to drop the second part because she only *just* started sleeping through and so this post is mostly about promoting baby sleep. That's what the past almost year has been like! (I can't believe… Continue reading How I trained baby #2 to sleep

And it’s so starkly different than my first experience, struggling so deeply with undiagnosed postpartum depression. Part of me feels like I’m holding my breath, having squeaked by the first 6 weeks with only low moments, that I’m able to come out… Continue reading Postpartum Bliss
An Open Note from a Very Pregnant Lady
Written January 25, 2019, 2 days before my daughter's due date. If I see one more self-righteous, shock factor pro-life photo or statement. Listen, I’m as pro-life as they come. I’ve had a huge heart for babies who are unwanted and moreso a passion for mamas who are facing pregnancy that is unexpected and perhaps… Continue reading An Open Note from a Very Pregnant Lady
