    Postpartum What?

    07/10 /No Comments

    Okay ladies and gents it is a topic no one wants to talk about but it is a fact of life and it happens. If you have been following my posts you will know we are now home with our lil one and attempting to adjust. Of course we were both sick when we came home but that passed after the first week or so. Around week two is when the real fun begins! See I am by nature OCD. I am a counter (literally have numbers running in my mind all day) and things have to be a certain way or in my mind the world is pre-apocalyptic. So…

    Quinoa Baby Cereal Stage 1

    07/10 /No Comments

    Homemade Quinoa Baby Cereal This smooth and creamy Homemade Quinoa Baby Cereal has an earthy and robust taste and is loaded with protein, fiber, iron and magnesium. It’s great served as a meal itself or mixed with baby’s favorite fruit or vegetable puree.  How to: make a batch of your favorite quinoa – I made this recipe using the trio color blend, but any color of quinoa will work with this recipe. transfer the cooked quinoa into the blender add in a little water, broth or breast milk puree for a minute or so until it is nice and smooth serve straight away, or freeze the cereal into cubes for easy use…

    My Rainbow Baby

    07/07 /1 Comment

    As I write about my rainbow baby, it will be the most difficult post I will ever write. I pray it touches you in some way and encourages healing if you have been through this.   Rainbow Baby definition A rainbow baby is a baby born shortly after the loss of a previous baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or death in infancy. This term is given to these special rainbow babies because a rainbow typically follows a storm, giving us hope of what’s to come. First I would like to say I am so sorry for your loss. I know you are probably sick of hearing this by now but…

    Let’s Talk Boobies, Who-ha’s and Well…  

    07/05 /2 Comments

    I learned in a quick hurry that your body is no longer your own after a baby. You are now the life source for your lil one (if you choose to bf) and if you had sweet images of feeding like I had, WRONG. I pictured it as a sweet bonding moment laying in a field of flowers I suppose. What I got was angry barracuda that attacked like it was the last supper. You also will experience who-ha (lady part) sensations unlike any other and then your first umm pooh happens! Your milk does not come in for a few days, which to me is a cruel joke via…

    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. She reminded me of the scene in Lady and the Tramp when they bring the baby home and Lady is so sweet and curious. Laney did just this. She didn’t leave his…
