Preparing for Breastfeeding Success!

June 13, 2018September 27, 2020Leave a comment

Many first-time moms feel that breastfeeding comes naturally when their baby is born, and not worry too much about it while pregnant. I admit that I was one of those moms. Sure, I read a few online articles and a chapter about it on the "What To Expect When You're Expecting" book and I thought … Continue reading Preparing for Breastfeeding Success!

My Prenatal Vitamins

February 27, 2018February 28, 2018Leave a comment

I had a really hard time swallowing vitamins during my first trimester. I was incredibly nauseous that I even hated chewing and tasting gummy vitamins! I tried a few different bottles, both food-based and synthetic and I found 4 that I enjoy and can tolerate to take on a daily basis. I really do not … Continue reading My Prenatal Vitamins

Wait…I’m pregnant?!

November 30, 2017November 30, 2017Leave a comment

I knew last week I was 2 weeks late for my period. Boobs were aching, I was so nauseous, and everything just smelled so foul. I couldn't take it anymore at work, so I went to the pharmacy (luckily I work at a hospital) and just but a test. During my lunch break, I told … Continue reading Wait…I’m pregnant?!

Being a Stay-At-Home Mom has plenty of perks! One, you spend plenty of quality time with your children. Two, you save money from paying for daycare or childcare. Three, you can be in yoga pants all day everyday and no one will judge you. Although, to be honest, being home all day every day can … Continue reading Why Moms & Kids Love Indoor Playgrounds

Visiting a New Mom & Baby

April 14, 2015November 30, 20176 Comments

Before I had Nathan I was one of those "overly-excited-aunties" and I wanted to visit my friends and families' newborn baby as soon as possible and hold them. Not until I had Nathan did I realize inviting overly excited aunties and uncles over can be quite overwhelming to entertain. Especially when you're sleep deprived, hooked … Continue reading Visiting a New Mom & Baby

5 Ways to Encourage Healthy Habits Among Toddlers

March 20, 2015May 20, 20154 Comments

As new parents, we can never be certain on how our children's eating habits will be. That's why it's very important to start them off with healthy habits at a young age and lead by example. As an infant, my son loved breast milk and gained so much weight from it. When he was starting … Continue reading 5 Ways to Encourage Healthy Habits Among Toddlers

Breastfeeding is precious. It's such a wonderful feeling and gives us mothers great pride to provide our children with nutrition that we can make with our own body. Not only are we providing our babies with the essential vitamins, nutrients, fats proteins, and antibodies they need, but we are also creating a bond that is … Continue reading Donating Breast Milk

The Power Pump!

January 24, 2015February 28, 201825 Comments

When I used to exclusively pump, there were some days I felt as if I wasn't producing enough milk. Levels of production of milk can depend on your diet, as well as, your hormones. I was always worrying that I wasn't making enough for my baby and was afraid of "running out" milk. Especially, when … Continue reading The Power Pump!

Tips for Pumping at Work

January 15, 2015February 28, 201824 Comments

Β It's the 21st Century! More and more mothers are returning back to work shortly after they deliver. In my opinion, the U.S. average maternity leave length of 12 weeks or less (if you do not qualify for FMLA) is just way too short, compared to other developed countries such as, Austria, who have maternity leave … Continue reading Tips for Pumping at Work

Happy Monday! What prenatal vitamins do you like taking? The different stages of pregnancy had me taking different types of prenatals.
Current obsession: @tubbytodd Hair + Body Wash!
My 1st month into motherhood. One of the hardest & darkest days/nights/weeks of my life. Actually the entire year was the most difficult. I look back at photos & have so many happy memories, but it was also such a blur for me. I wasn’t in a good place with my family & went through so much emotional abuse with them. I was criticized for having a baby too early & was constantly told that I β€œruined” my life. A close aunt even stopped talking to me for getting pregnant. Gossip among family was endless. I didn’t understand.
It may take a village to raise a child, but at the end of the day it’s the child’s parents who make the final decision. Like the decision to set boundaries with your village.
Happy Easter!
