IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SWADDLE

August 13, 2018 33 Comments

Hey there,

So baby boy is almost 4 months old and oh my has it been a journey. I never thought sleep deprivation would feel normal. Anyway I know it will change as he gets older but I sure wish it would happen sooner. The past few months have been quite adventurous to say the least. I’ve had ups and downs, the loudest house on the block, no longer have anything to wear due to spit ups, more poopy diapers than I can count and let’s just say I have accepted that my hair literally stays unkempt for as long as I wish and nobody should and can tell me nothing. I know it’s been a while and after hearing it’s all about the swaddle and that they deliver better and longer sleeps, here is what I think about some I’ve used.

NEWBORN ESSENTIALS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER

May 15, 2018 41 Comments

Hello everyone,

I know I’ve been missing for a while but life with a newborn has really been taking a toll on me, keeping me busy and over all just showing me how life with two kids changes everything, also it made me realise how much time I had before versus now. Having a newborn can be both exciting and challenging at the same time depending on how your experience is plus just because it’s your second doesn’t mean it will be a breeze. For me, it’s been a mixture of both highs and lows and downright pulling my hair out moments but I am getting through it and coping. Today’s post is all about newborn essentials to make your life easier, if you’re expecting or plan to have a baby, then this should be right up your alley.

So, if you’ve been reading my posts for a while, you may have noticed that I didn’t mention anywhere that I was expecting my second child and as much as I wanted to tell you all about my experiences during my whole pregnancy, I decided to keep it private and I hope you all understand. Plus it does really help when your belly never shows and makes everyone think your mad when you show up with a newborn nine months later. I may just put all that in another post for next time but today, let’s get on with newborn essentials that have really helped me so far and are making my life easier.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE HAVING A BABY

January 21, 2017 83 Comments

So you think it’s time?

I am asking you just to make sure you know what you’re in for and how your life will change. But if you have already made up your mind, don’t let me stop you just start enjoying the incredible journey. I am not trying to sound mean in anyway but I hope you have answered all the questions to yourself before proceeding into motherhood. If haven’t, here are questions to ask yourself before having a baby.

Am I ready?

You’re probably thinking of course am ready, but I mean ready emotionally, physically and mentally for yourself and not ready just because your parents, in-laws and friends are. You need to be deciding this at your own terms and not because you have pressure from family to have a baby. Emotionally, you are going to have melt downs and lots of changes occurring and also physically are you ready for you to see your body changing, and be okay with that, If you know you have figured that part out, then you are one decision to check off.
