    5 Products/Tips for Breastfeeding Moms

    May 28, 2019 in MOTHERHOOD, POSTPARTUM
    Breastfeeding has always been one of the biggest stressors for me when it comes to having a newborn. I can roll with the lack of sleep, postpartum healing, baby fussing part of it (kinda 😉 )… but when it comes to my babies nursing, it has been hard for me to be relaxed about it.

    Welcome Home, Shay

    May 26, 2019 in LIFESTYLE
    Our third baby boy has officially been here for almost 2 weeks now and I am feeling more grateful than ever. Grateful for the amazing nurses and doctors who were part of our labor, delivery, and postpartum care… grateful for our “village” who took care of the boys while we were in the hospital and

    Tomorrow is our 37 week appointment and our bag is finally packed! Not going to lie… we didn’t do much to prep for this baby up until this weekend. I’m not sure if our laid back approach is because we still feel we have time (which we really don’t… thought my water was going to

    36 Week Update & Drake’s 3rd Birthday Celebration at School

    May 3, 2019 in LIFESTYLE, MOTHERHOOD, PREGNANCY
    On Wednesday, we had our 36 week appointment! I’ve progressed a little bit from last week and went from nothin’ (no dilation, cervix very high) to… no dilation, but 50% effaced. I’m not too surprised because I’ve felt pretty good. Besides the overall discomfort and random Braxton Hicks, I’m in much better shape than I

    waiting in the OB office cause my doctor had to go waiting in the OB office cause my doctor had to go run & catch a baby. 🥰 

already at biweekly appointments. where has the time gone? full transparency.. chances are I won’t prep a single thing until I’m 4cm dilated 😆 we’ve become a bit too lax haha. As long as we have the Owlet, DockATot, and “go-time” plans, this guy can wear all his brothers’ hand-me-downs and we’ll figure everything else out along the way. ♥️🤱🏻

    Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 tha Happy Friday + hello third trimester. 👋🏼 that came quick! I’ll be 28 weeks this weekend and we’ll get to see bub on Monday. ♥️ 

I always look forward to my appointments. Mostly to check in on baby - but also, I love to see all the OBs. 😆 I guess having 4 kids in 5 years with the same doctors (and nurses) will make them feel like friends. 

I’m officially at that point where I’m exhausted by the end of the day and if I don’t relax, Braxton Hicks start. Warm baths and lots of water have been game changers this time around. 

I think this is the first pregnancy (..actually, the first time ever 😅) that I’ve been properly hydrated. Swipe right to see the water bottle I’ve been finishing everyday for the last month 💦 I have noticed a huge difference in my energy level and honestly feel so much better - no more mid-afternoon slump! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend. 💫 #28weekspregnant #inspirepregnancy #ltkbump

    the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! the boys got to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus today! 🎅🏻 Drake is asking for the game There’s a Yeti in My Spaghetti (gonna enjoy the $10 “main gift” request while it lasts 😆) and Ford is asking for Mack from the movie Cars. Shay LOVES puppies, so he may be getting something special from Santa (1000% will not be a real dog. We already have 3 animals in the house). 👦🏻👦🏼👶🏻

Our Santa visit looked different this year but @waterlemonkids did a great job with this Covid-friendly option. 👍🏼
    Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Hope Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Hope you all have a great day celebrating with your people. 🥰
