i am so conflicted when it comes to babies sleeping through the night because I think it is so much harder than going from sleeping through some nights and getting used to it and then a string of challenging regressions where sleep is just a mess. One thing we know we are SOOOO privileged by is not having to experience colic with our kids. I am sending so much love and energy to those who have to survive through that! Last night reminded of that because we got our first two nights of 7 hour stretch and then was met with a baby fighting to go down and waking up every two hours. We are a month out from the 4 month “progression which I remember being one of the hardest transitions for everyone. Baby is going through an enormous developmental leap at that age. We will most likely Get a couple weeks of long stretches, which is going to be amazing but I know it will be super jarring when the sleep refusals during that 4-6 week leap happens soon after. Nothing more profound to share, just over here survive like the rest of you!

It gets better and better by each second of the video! When it’s your last kid, the first time of everything and anything your kid does feels so differently! The level of seretonin and dopamine is astronomical but theres also a subconscious feeling of sadness that this is also our last of these first moments. I cant believe i caught his first giggle on camera. I will forever cherish this moment. How healing this sound is for me. #babygiggles #babysfirstlaugh #secondbaby #lastbaby #momsover30 #babyfever #babydevelopment #babylaughing #5monthaold #5monthspostpartum #fyp #relatable #momandson #mamasboy #momandbaby #babytiktok
I was going to delete this from my camera roll.. but decided it actually makes sense to share how postpartum and past trauma manifests in the day. I went to the office to film an ad for work, but my mistake was thinking i was okay after i found a chip clip put back in the wrong place.. yes a chip clip. But if you know, you know it is not about the chip clip.. While mental health touches everyone, postpartum mental health feels extra extreme at times. Somewhere everywhere is a mom having a similar meltdown in the car, shower, closet, corner of a grocery store, under the blanket, in the garage, out in the backyard.. just about anywhere most likely alone to keep the peace in the house. Here to remind others that youre not alone in these detonation moments. Giving you one giant hug! #postpartum #postpartumjourney #postpartumrage #postpartumlife #momsover30 #fyp #postpartumdepresssion #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealthmatters

Freeze dried breast milk Worth the investment IMO. It made my high lipase definitely more mild and extended its shelf life for three years! The company shared bundled discounts in my b1o. I did talk
