Alright. So everything that I talk about, or speak on is from personal experience. I am by no means at all a professional, so remember y’all, I’m not a doctor. I’m just some woman talking about my crazy life and how I go through day by day. Don’t come running to me because you did…

When to let baby just cry
When Mae is being crazy, kicking, slapping, pinching, scratching, screaming and just plain throwing a fit, I set her in her crib and I let her cry. She grabs onto the side of her crib and jumps up and down while scream crying sometimes, and it’s honestly kind of entertaining to watch her. Who had…
Being sick and having a baby
Being sick in general sucks. You don’t feel like yourself, you get achy, snotty, etc. And then they tell you… it’s contagious. Great. Time to sterilize everything, disinfect door knobs, spray out the car with disinfectant spray and wash the sheets, blankets and pillow cases. The worst part of being sick is that you can’t…
Working mom
Being a working mom is hard. I never ever in my life would think that I could miss someone as much as I miss my daughter. It’s really easy to get caught up in the world of work. Sometimes, you don’t even really realize what’s going on around you because you’re so worried all of…
How to avoid the feeling of fire when you pee postpartum
I’m not going to lie, recovery is a fucking bitch and it was the worst part of my entire birth experience. I did kegals my entire pregnancy and made sure my shit was TOITE before I gave birth because I did not want my vagina to tear, and I did not want my coochie to…
Babysitter
Baby… sitter…? As in someone who watches my baby instead of me? Absolutely not… is what I originally thought when I was pregnant and when she first came home. I didn’t want anyone but me or my husband watching her. But I had to get over that shit real quick once I started working. In…
Coffeecoffeecoffee
Let’s talk about coffee. I honestly could not survive without coffee. Yeah, I breast feed and drink coffee. And it’s not just a cup in the morning. It’s all throughout the day. And my baby sleeps perfectly fine. She’s not all wired up and jittery. I need the energy and coffee gives it to me…
Will my vagina ever look the same?
Giving birth was pretty easy for me if I’m being honest. Popped that little sucker right out of there. I also had an epidural(at4CM, birthed st 10cm+). And my baby was only 6 LB 2 OZ. Thank the lord Jesus Christ that I only had a bilateral stitch. When I was pregnant I did kegals…
Why is my baby crying?
Babies cry, and that’s just something you’ll have to deal with as a parent. You’re going to have to get over the fact that until they can talk, that’s how they communicate. Babies cry when they’re hungry, cold, tired, hot, they don’t like the tag in their outfit, they want to be held. All types…
Story time: poop
Story time: poop My daughter had a very active bowel between 1-6 weeks. Almost every diaper had some seedy(which is actually blood that made it into your breast milk and is absolutely okay) Dijon mustard yellow poops that always smelled like empty buttered popcorn bag to me. One day, my husband and I were changing…
