1st doc appt with 4 day old... Dr: Are you guys getting much sleep? Husband: No Me: Actually, more than I thought I would. Husband: Well I stay up late to play videogames. He should start sleeping with one eye open.

My father in law came over and asked 2 for a kiss and when she said “no” he said “gonna take one anyway” and my husband stopped him and explained that we’re working hard to teach her that her “no” has power and deserves respect and I’m not crying YOU’RE crying

I'm all for safety when it comes to caring for my children, but if one more doctor recites the ABCs of "safe" sleep or tries to shame me for co-sleeping, I'm going to scream. Sleeping next to your baby is the most natural, wonderful experience. Humans have been co-sleeping

for centuries, so if it's so dangerous, how is it that humanity isn't extinct?
My toddler just pooped in the big potty for the first time ever and between the parental pride and prospect of no more diapers, I almost cried.

If you give a mom some coffee.. her kid will surely need a snack And once she gets the snack He’ll surely need a drink And once she gets the drink he’ll surely need to pee And once she takes him potty She’ll go to drink her coffee And her coffee will be cold. #momlife

To all the moms out there trying to be super mom, super wife, super worker, etc. please know this... you don’t have to be super. It’s okay to just be ‘enough.’ I am learning that the hard way. #momlife #momsquad

After having a baby, it can be really tempting to lose yourself in caring for your new addition. But it's super important to take care of yourself! After all, you did just push a human and a large organ out of your body. aurorafemineus.com/2018/11/1…
My toddler has started calling me "mom" instead of "mommy" like I need another reminder that my little baby isn't little or a baby anymore.
