Slow and late sundays. 15 weeks postpartum and little guy is no longer a newborn. I feel like i am in a straight daze. My postpartum depression kicked in around this time with my first, and i can definitely feel like those same feelings and level of anxiety starting to sneak up on me again. Trying my best to find balance, and move slower to give my mental health all the space it needs. #momsoffaith #momsover30 #reelschallenge
My daily self validation. Be your own uype woman 🫣 #firsttrimester #foryoupagе
Medical anxiety always overthinking things. But also.. is it normal? Or is it something i should maybe retest? Any gestational diabetics care to share their numbers? Pregnancy be making me always second guessing everything #thirdtrimester #28weekspregnant #reelsfypシ゚
Replying to still in the wait but thought i would give a little update ❤️ 9 days post transfer! Praying for miracles #ivfwarrior #ivfbaby #foryoupagereels
Today calls for extra patience. Just over here trying to reparent and heal my inner child. Gentle parenting is not for the weak. But i do appreciate the opportunity and my personal growth in self regulation to hold space for both my kids and traumatized inner child.
By all means i am not perfect and there are moments where i definitely dont breathe through and not overreact. But today, im proud of how i was able to take a step back and not feel fully anxious while correcting and placing boundaries. #momsover30 #gentleparenting #viralreelsfb
The end of this video 😭😭 Ill do it tomorrow has now turned into 5 months 🫣 idk where the time goes. Drowning in filth but the kids are healthy and happy. #momsover30 #2kids #reelsfbシ
I am sure i will find my mom slay when the kids go off to college 😂 but i do love me some alix! #momsover30 #momlife #reelsfypシ
I am disgusted but also.. like okay by it?its messed up. Postpartum gas is elite. She is sneakY AF, potent, and seemingly out for revenge multiple times a day 🤭
Saturday morning.. mundane but nevertheless so tired, but also so so grateful and privileged for our safety, health, and non eventful days. #postpartumjourney #viralreelsシ
Circa october 2020 after our first frozen embryo transfer. Today is pregnancy and infant loss awareness remembrance day. I pulled up a video I haven’t watched back since the day we got the news that my HCG numbers dropped from 111 to 104 after two days. In a typical pregnancy they were looking for a HCG that doubles.
I knew in my hearts of heart that i was going to miscarry. I blacked out during this whole conversation and after hearing it for the first time right now while editing, it brings me to tears knowing how lucky i am to have such a supportive and loving partner. He was holding back his own pain and tears and clinging onto every ounce of hope for us and our son.
My heart 😭#miscarriage #foryoupagereels
When did you transition your kiddo out of a crib? Skipping the nursery with baby 2 since we already have a gender neutral one for our daughter. We are making our daughter a big girl room and using the next 4-6 months to transition her to a floor bed which honestly is scary AF. We wanted to keep her in the crib as long as we could but realistically, we didn’t want to have to transition a toddler out of the crib, while transitioning an infant into one. she will be taking over what is currently our guest room. Considering we host a ton, we also didnt want to give up the luxury of having that. So were deciding to create a room that functionally and aesthetically works as both! Our current home design is traditional modern leaning more neutral. So here is our plan! LMK if you have any tips! #tod #toddlerroom #foryourpageシ
20 weeks i fall down the stairs.. 25 weeks i go to labor and delivery to monitor and dehydration. This baby be going through it with me! I got a stomach bug, been throwing up for 24 hours, like insane vomiting force so much i peed myself onto the floor a few times. I broke capillaries in my face and am extremely fatigued. I called my doc and they wanted to see me for monitorinf and to get fluids and check on the rarest case i had preeclampsia. Outside of the painful IV insertions, im good! Baby is good! Grateful for my medical team ❤️ #secondtrimesterpregnancy #secondtrimester #foryourpageシ
Still struggling with bottles. My AM consisted of three hours of trying to get him to take a bottle and even fight him to breastfeed. He is going through his third leap so it could be just a developmental thing.
I did get 12 hours of sleep with four wake ups in between, but what a win. I do feel like i overslept so body was in need of energy. Np because i got my picking up my slack! There is an awesome deal for Prime Day by selectinf the 20% off coupon.
I always get asked on how we get khai to sleep independently when he favored cosleeping in the beginning. Honestly, there is no magical answer but we do try to be as consistent as possible!
Following his wake windows, watching for his sleepy cues, and getting him to bed within 5 minutes before he gets overtired.
The 5s: swaddle, side laying, sway, sush, suck! Works like a charm for us after a few weeks of sticking to it! #bloompartner #newbornlife #viralvideoreels
