So this actually happened yesterday, but thought I’d share… It was more of a Monday for me than usual. I spent way too long looking for my work laptop, because I had placed it on top of a dresser to hide it from my son..but then forgot about it. Then I was looking for myContinue reading “Cutting Hair with Pregnancy Brain”

Who wore it better? Baby or Adult?
I realized something the other day as I was walking in to work from my garage – there’s a few things now that are popular that must’ve been inspired by baby clothing! The item I’m thinking of in particular are baby onesies. Have you ever thought about how women’s bodysuits are basically baby onesies? Don’tContinue reading “Who wore it better? Baby or Adult?”
Miscarriage after Termination
So I haven’t written for a while. It’s been a lot of getting used to having a toddler in the house, balancing going back into work physically, and dealing with my mental health. Trigger warning: miscarriage and termination for medical reasons will be mentioned/discussed. Ironically, writing helps my mental health – but I really needContinue reading “Miscarriage after Termination”
Prolific Pee-er
So I’ve decided my kid is a prolific pee-er. We’re finally at the point where he’s starting to sleep through the night…EXCEPT when he pees himself. The crazy part? We already have him in a nighttime diaper that’s a size up, add in one of my overnight period pads (Sposie pads DID NOT work forContinue reading “Prolific Pee-er”
How to Find a Car Seat
So I found what I think is a great resource that I wanted to share for other parents. There’s a place to look up recommendations from experts regarding car seats! And sorry, just because you’re a parent, I don’t think you’re an expert. The organization is call Car Seats for the Littles. These people areContinue reading “How to Find a Car Seat”
Ultrasounds suck at diagnosing things
Ultrasounds have got to be one of the first things that really make it feel real that you have a baby in you. I definitely get excited when you get that first ultrasound. However, I keep running into issues with my blood tests showing issues with the baby. They always try to do an ultrasoundContinue reading “Ultrasounds suck at diagnosing things”
Miscarriage/TFMR: My Story and Resources
I debated not posting two “sad” posts in a row, but decided that that paints a fake story of my life and what I go through. Sometimes, you do go through bad periods of depression, and that’s ok. Trigger warning – this post is about having to end my pregnancy for medical reasons. I’ll startContinue reading “Miscarriage/TFMR: My Story and Resources”
Being a parent means constantly second guessing yourself
I’m not sure if all moms do this, but I definitely do. I find myself constantly second guessing any decision or action I do as a first time mom. It doesn’t help when you decide to do something (and didn’t think it needed researching) only to find out that it could cause problems! For example,Continue reading “Being a parent means constantly second guessing yourself”
First Trimester is Kicking my Butt
For anybody following me, sorry I’ve suddenly disappeared. I’m pregnant! And it’s kicking my butt – so much so that I’ve basically been sleeping any spare moment I’ve had (versus writing in the blog). I was exhausted with my first too, so it wasn’t so surprising, but there were new surprises this time. Like…food aversions.Continue reading “First Trimester is Kicking my Butt”
First Trimester – You’re not going to see me, doc?
Something I learned when I got pregnant is that apparently, doctors don’t bother seeing you until you’re about 10 weeks pregnant (or almost done with the first trimester)! For a first time mom, this was SHOCKING. I had so many questions, and you weren’t even going to see me until the end? Plus, isn’t theContinue reading “First Trimester – You’re not going to see me, doc?”
