    Bringing Baby Home- This Mama’s Journey!

    06/29 /1 Comment

    Ahh the day you have been waiting for. To bring your wee lil babe home and begin the greatest adventure of your life! You have everything ready, the nursery, the clothes, the bedding, and all the love in the world to give. First thing we did when we were home was introduce the lil one to his fur sisters. Abby immediately b-lined to the back of the house, which was to be expected. Laney however was very curious.

    So Dr. called last night to let me know I have hyperthyroidism. This apparently is brought on post prego and is sometimes treated pending severity. Any other mama’s out there have this experience? Would love to know what your Dr. did and how you healed!

    06/21 /4 Comments

    While I was pregnant there were so many resources it would make your head spin! Everything from apps to books and blogs. Then of course everyone that had been there and wanted to tell you their experience. Once lil man came along however the real fun began!
