He had a few bottles of breastmilk in a bottle during that time (if Justin fed him/my mom/etc). So when Easton weaned himself from breastfeeding (<a href="http://www.whereyourheartisnow.com/2020/12/our-breastfeeding-journey.html">full blog post about that here</a>) we started giving him milk from a bottle. I didn't think it would be a hard transition at all because he never really drank from a bottle and wasn't attached but I was wrong. He loved the bottle. Mostly because he could tip it back and fling it around when he drank it. Luckily I found a few cups he really likes. <a href="https://www.liketoknow.it/ltk/1ArmSGEWgDCrMudTfogzp9">Here are the cups</a> we use! I am going to do a full review on them soon. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">He gets milk 3x a day. Our doctor recommended 16-20oz of cows milk a day and we give him three 7oz cups a day. He always leaves an oz or two typically. When we first transitioned I took away the afternoon bottle and replaced it with a cup. After a couple days I did that with the morning bottle. He is doing great even though he was reluctant at first. Currently he still gets one bottle at nighttime but we will wean that soon. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><b>Favorite Toys/ Things to do (I'll link it all below!)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- listening to music / dancing (his favorites are The Weeknd, Mandisa & Baby Shark), we love our <a href="https://rstyle.me/+qFTOBbnYDW0LO8OeCTu2Fw">Echo Dot </a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- read books (he loves lift the flap books and I just got him <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HActZTgLZy69poN4dnC36Q">these poke a dot books</a>)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- looking out the window / banging on it lol </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- play with his kitchen sink </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- puzzles </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- his musical instrument set</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"> - ride his 4 wheeler </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- ball pit</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- sit in his comfy chair & eat his snack </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- play with the remote & watch Cocomelon </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- doing laps around the kitchen with Frankie (our dog)</span></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Firsts </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- being sick (he had Croup at 14 months)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- being away from me & Justin for a full day (10-6pm he went to my sisters)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- throwing a tantrum in public (he lost his sh*t the other day at Target when we were checking out)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- goose egg bruise (he just fell a couple days ago & has a big bruise on his forehead </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><b>Personality </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- he's honestly so sweet, he leans into us and gives hugs and kisses </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- he just started to be "clingy" (like wants mama/dada)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- very inquisitive / super nosey </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- he loves joking, he'll go to hand you something and take it back and laugh</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- can definitely be moody if he's tired / hungry (wonder who he gets that from...guilty) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- he definitely understands "no" and will look at us when he knows he shouldn't be doing something to see our reaction </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">- he sits with his feet crossed when he eats and I love it </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><b>Nap Transition (two to one)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">I'll be honest I held onto to two naps for as long as possible but he was showing us multiple signs he was ready for one nap (the biggest was that he started refusing to take his second nap or when he would take it, it would only be 30 minutes). He started this right around 13-14 months. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Raleway;">I read <a href="https://takingcarababies.com/how-to-transition-from-2-naps-to-1/">this blog post</a> and it was super helpful. To sum it up we just started pushing his first nap later and later until we hit the 12pm mark. When he did two naps he would nap at 10am but when we started transitioning we did a few days at 10:30, a few days at 11am then eventually got to noon. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAeg2vIcuHMWcan_sl2To4J9U-OrpoXagnNbK_rMAOyiTj6LNkB6ucdpwOhMy8QXN1mnfPSA2qWdjEILEBRZePWJBE59oJuOvMdj54S2e3c2cxbym0n9Fbq-149tJV2Ck43UO7iMNH_c8/s2048/IMG_7869.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAeg2vIcuHMWcan_sl2To4J9U-OrpoXagnNbK_rMAOyiTj6LNkB6ucdpwOhMy8QXN1mnfPSA2qWdjEILEBRZePWJBE59oJuOvMdj54S2e3c2cxbym0n9Fbq-149tJV2Ck43UO7iMNH_c8/s16000/IMG_7869.HEIC" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><b>Easton at his 15 month old check up! </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">I love sharing things with you about Easton.

Long overdue but finally getting Easton's birthday party blog post up. He turned one on November 3rd and we had the best little small get together for him with our close family and friends. The theme was 'Easton's 1st Trip Around the Sun' so he wore an astronaut costume and I used a lot of space themed decor. Our vendors were absolutely amazing and if you are local to Columbus I would highly recommend all of them. </p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">PARTY DETAILS </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Venue- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/flat51rental/">Flat 51</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Planner- Me & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mmjevents/">MMJ Events</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Decor- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aidenandgrace/">Aiden & Grace</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Balloons- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youngandwildwiththree/">Young & Wild with Three</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Cookies- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/the.pinke/">The Pinke</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">EASTON light up letters- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bge_balloons/">BGE Balloons</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Charcuterie table- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mf_charcuterie/">MF Charcuterie</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+lW1Bqa2oWJx7h0wbkNR94w">Astronaut costume</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Photographer- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kandidwithkate/">Kandid with Kate</a></span></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHozmXtjC168Fwog8BgkRyjLJCCav0eet5ZxTXE8eYR3RZJZFdIwj4ApLVP77YhDGDvOxQtnsxopJwA8iGKGvNefCG-gZF4YPxr6Pu0DburKZv1JjfGvuKMLcy59hZ8FLHkvxsFynU-vA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHozmXtjC168Fwog8BgkRyjLJCCav0eet5ZxTXE8eYR3RZJZFdIwj4ApLVP77YhDGDvOxQtnsxopJwA8iGKGvNefCG-gZF4YPxr6Pu0DburKZv1JjfGvuKMLcy59hZ8FLHkvxsFynU-vA/s16000/easton-1682.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3663-93Fhrjx1P0VRMES0jhE6-aLD5_KIfEkslMyYMkPnTD1R-wnerGyALC8txGfea9zdrxk66RJANGeV47qZECXJuzxVfgYCFNyl6RFG4dS8vNOXKET9hu5F04OhIMAV1xx51BgvUk/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin3663-93Fhrjx1P0VRMES0jhE6-aLD5_KIfEkslMyYMkPnTD1R-wnerGyALC8txGfea9zdrxk66RJANGeV47qZECXJuzxVfgYCFNyl6RFG4dS8vNOXKET9hu5F04OhIMAV1xx51BgvUk/s16000/easton-1059.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiwIlpHZ0OzSJJLQ1lpSvvAGzFianFmTsQQYZ5XSkgWo9n9RAb17S6Boga7yzxHUC0Mpe_UrUKGCsHfq5T8Xwi3y0EA79RwZp-c5CmjHdIarO5sAVtjQijRAkh9K_w81X66tjOy4oajU/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiwIlpHZ0OzSJJLQ1lpSvvAGzFianFmTsQQYZ5XSkgWo9n9RAb17S6Boga7yzxHUC0Mpe_UrUKGCsHfq5T8Xwi3y0EA79RwZp-c5CmjHdIarO5sAVtjQijRAkh9K_w81X66tjOy4oajU/s16000/easton-0988.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTnhjb-285vHLC55HFlW2zf2s_XDW02vzEz5Vm1Gu5XUbF8yyNB95jJgzVWQdqhMJgX98lD5XAmZ0Wut10zOhqbz5s5y6Ldyu9o3JxsOu4qvZ41ah74y9ksnLDFBEQf9HphE5njPbcdg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTnhjb-285vHLC55HFlW2zf2s_XDW02vzEz5Vm1Gu5XUbF8yyNB95jJgzVWQdqhMJgX98lD5XAmZ0Wut10zOhqbz5s5y6Ldyu9o3JxsOu4qvZ41ah74y9ksnLDFBEQf9HphE5njPbcdg/s16000/easton-0978.JPG" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: Lora;">Flat 51 was such a gorgeous venue. It was a beautiful, perfect open space. It was so clean and had great lighting. Meleka from MMJ Events helped me plan the party and decorate with her other company Aiden and Grace. She is so talented! Highly recommend. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Erin from Young Wild and Three is not only the sweetest but she killed it with the balloon arches. I love her personal larger balloons she made also. Because the party was in the afternoon and was after lunch we served snacks and drinks. I love a good charcuterie table. That's what we had for my baby shower so I knew I wanted that for Easton's party too. But MF Charcuterie made my dreams come true and created a kid friendly charcuterie table for Easty and his friends. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">For desserts, Elizabeth designed custom Easton's 1st Trip Around the Sun cookies. She even made a couple cookies of Easton and one of the three of us! The best thing about these cookies is not only were they beautiful, they were delicious! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxXzAyd3ooIx37aKA0ran0VTeCrqTN-O6XCgoMVqbK7oA-CSTkH-Y1kicX3tecloZGOQdGNBfxn6idIUjmS2j5ll8D7hKjiSGRcKTG5ABJ10IRfNebvyBhN-DbR92qvgw-WVug4mz7JGk/" style="margin-left: 1em;

I got little <a href="https://rstyle.me/+89dQGR3i7h1EErVAXRC_Mg">custom tattoos with Easton's face on them</a> for the kiddos and filled the suitcases with stickers, kazoos and bubbles. I got little <a href="https://rstyle.me/+5xPR33RgZGup00AL39U5Vw">little boarding passes</a> for their "trip" and printed them off then added photos of all the kids and laminated them. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lora;">Easton had a great time and I loved how the party turned out.

Our experience has been amazing and beautiful while also challenging and hard at times. Let me tell you about our journey. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">From the very beginning I knew I wanted to breastfeed Easton or at least try. Breastfeeding seemed to be such a beautiful experience and I really wanted to try with him. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I shared with you guys that our breastfeeding journey ended a a little over a month ago. November 13th to be exact. We made it 1 year and 10 days. It wasn't easy (physically or emotionally) at first but it's been better thankfully.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">When Easton was born he immediately latched but the pain in the beginning was extreme. I became engorged very quickly and I remember crying and telling Justin I thought my boobs might explode. I went and saw a lactation consultant and she was so extremely helpful. She showed me more comfortable ways to hold him, introduced me to nipple shields and everything started getting easier. I had a friend tell me just get through the first two weeks and it will get easier.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">Before I go any further, I want to say no matter how you fed your baby- you're amazing. Feeding your baby is a full time job. Whether you are unlatching your nursing bra and praying you are producing enough milk or exclusively pumping and listening to the "er er er er er" sound 6x a day or stressing over which formula to give, you are a ROCKSTAR. You have to do what is best for you and your family and also your mental health. Your baby will sense if you are stressed or anxious and feed off your energy. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">Breastfeeding is so many things. It's leaving in the middle of a holiday get together to nurse in the spare bedroom or pumping during a wedding reception so your boobs don't kill or (if you're like us) planning any and everything you do around your baby's eating schedule but also rocking and nursing to sleep and being so relaxed. I dealt with all of these. I was engorged, had mastitis and multiple clogged ducts but would do it all again in a heartbeat. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">There's so much pressure put on it and I find a lot of women saying "I was only able to do it a month" or "I had to stop at six months." I whole-heartedly believe it is one of the most emotional things I've ever experienced. I read an article recently that said everyone talks about the firsts; the first smile, the first words, the first steps, but no one talks about the lasts. The last newborn onesie they wear, the last time they fall asleep on your chest or the last time they nurse. I was not prepared for the last time Easton would nurse. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I didn't have a "end plan" for breastfeeding but I was guessing we would probably stop around one year. Easton has always been a great eater so I thought I would probably have to wean him. Then one day he wouldn't latch. He didn't want anything to do with it. I wasn't sure what to do but didn't want to force him so I figured we would just try again at bedtime. At bedtime he latched and nursed but for a shorter time. I didn't realize that would be our last time. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">The next day I tried to nurse him in the morning, at lunch time, in the afternoon and at bedtime and he wouldn't. I knew he was telling me he was done. As I rocked him that night I bawled. I wasn't prepared for the emotions I would feel the next few days. I felt broken, useless and unwanted. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I only knew one of my mama friends that had ever talked about the end of their breastfeeding journey. I was feeling very sad and depressed and she sent me an article that made so much sense. The article said "when some people wean they experience a depression similar to postpartum depression because of the drop in the hormones oxytocin and prolactin." I experienced postpartum depression and anxiety and was so nervous to have these feelings again. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I have read that the best way to wean is to gradually do it. But because Easton stopped cold turkey and weaned himself I didn't really have a choice. My body and hormones kind of didn't know what to do. I cried for two straight days. I felt like he didn't want me or need me anymore and that made me feel like a failure. Thankfully these feelings only lasted a few days and I started to feel normal again. I know it sounds crazy but I had never given Easton a bottle before so it was like we were starting an entire new journey. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">As far as the weaning process goes I started pumping twice a day just to relieve the pain. Then after a few days I went down to once a day. I started taking sudafed a couple times a day, rubbing peppermint oil on my nipples and putting cold cabbage leaves in my bra. I am also self expressing in the hot shower. It's been a few weeks and I'm almost all dried up. Everything I'm doing has really been helping. Other tips you guys gave were: avoid oats, wear nursing pads to dry up leaking milk, drink peppermint tea, take vitamin B, put ice packs on your boobs, ibuprofen, earth mama no milk tea and pink stork tea.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">We transitioned to whole milk by doing half breastmilk and half whole milk. We slowly did less and less breastmilk. Now he is on just whole milk and does great. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I wanted to share this post for a few reasons. It wasn't easy but breastfeeding Easton is one of my biggest accomplishments and I am really proud of myself. I knew that writing my feelings out would make me feel better and I hope to help even one mama. Know that your feelings are valid no matter what you are experiencing though motherhood! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Lora;">I love being a mama and love the bond Easton and I have created. I know that our bond will continue even after breastfeeding. He still needs me and I'm so grateful I got to experience so many firsts with him - my first baby. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Where your heart is nowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10880979205422728588noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461125131992878865.post-5505093973638778972020-12-02T09:45:00.004-08:002020-12-02T09:47:40.233-08:0015 Family Christmas Traditions <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRgR6wWXC3eMvipQbpmXYesnBkJ_9aNM5aeEzwGCJUovsZOj__jVYcyOAuE4RtCQybtRpzlPd6bBDeXsL5DIv4EP0o66OqjeVT21fHVz1m-Eaq2PL16tF_rinlaOHp2lXF7yTAAigJDg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRgR6wWXC3eMvipQbpmXYesnBkJ_9aNM5aeEzwGCJUovsZOj__jVYcyOAuE4RtCQybtRpzlPd6bBDeXsL5DIv4EP0o66OqjeVT21fHVz1m-Eaq2PL16tF_rinlaOHp2lXF7yTAAigJDg/s16000/Facetune_26-11-2020-20-22-54.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH3gV-8OJoGKNstLC64RiuVkuX0Nv02cnSdE_p4bZLnJTz_IeUkZFukACduYTMEczFIkrqzOg_jekTYHQt9uLq9JvE9m198IVRHytkxWve3kKtBMFlqo7Js0AbopuTc7eoHIkCGq4Xvq8/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1639" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH3gV-8OJoGKNstLC64RiuVkuX0Nv02cnSdE_p4bZLnJTz_IeUkZFukACduYTMEczFIkrqzOg_jekTYHQt9uLq9JvE9m198IVRHytkxWve3kKtBMFlqo7Js0AbopuTc7eoHIkCGq4Xvq8/s16000/IMG_8988.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Tinos;">Now that Easton is one I am so excited to start some new (and old) Christmas traditions with him.

Easton just turned 11 months and we use it everyday. When we first got pregnant, picking a stroller was huge for us. There are so many out there and I wanted to make sure we chose one that not only worked for us in the beginning but that we could keep and use for awhile. We went to Buy Buy Baby and tested out a few. As soon as we both pushed the <a href="https://uppababy.com">Uppababy</a> Vista we were like, this is it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This stroller is legit the Mercedes of strollers. It glides and is so easy to push. People ask all the time what my thoughts are on it and I am freakin obsessed with it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It is beautiful to start out with. I loved how sleek and chic it looked. It has a beautiful leather handlebar, a ventilated canopy and extendable UPF 50 sunshade, which keeps your babe cool and comfortable. It's very aesthetically pleasing and that is one thing I love about it. <span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>When Easton was a newborn, we had the bassinet attachment on the stroller and he loved it. He would fall asleep on walks. And during the "witching hour" we would push him around the house (winters are so cold in Ohio). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>I love how easy it is to change out the attachments. I wanted something that would be super easy to do by myself. I love how lightweight it is and you just have to push one little clip to unfold it and pop it in the trunk. </span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqgPQg8yFszD_hJ1oUqREOgdvsC0UCccRyOT9Bhlhjbn8V6jqdiPPJN0wsHZYfRgbsuum-Sz9xHMszG7lscUPiQHGcTiz00Xb-94mOdzAy_ZrV5PwFnwiuWkn5MzRREWSwY1m2JGV0Uo/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqgPQg8yFszD_hJ1oUqREOgdvsC0UCccRyOT9Bhlhjbn8V6jqdiPPJN0wsHZYfRgbsuum-Sz9xHMszG7lscUPiQHGcTiz00Xb-94mOdzAy_ZrV5PwFnwiuWkn5MzRREWSwY1m2JGV0Uo/s16000/32798384_Unknown.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fIl0bVQrfcVbGx-U7eiYn8fBa0fKWaO3pm8MsSTvUx3Fa8IT2hqtKfOvJw-nadv1BtLd3_O7vYYJPN9AIvudyuIJNgJAX3IYQwFM0ytZuEqLVqjABIeKHfvlMAhA5-TyHZTLMgfNd1g/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1542" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fIl0bVQrfcVbGx-U7eiYn8fBa0fKWaO3pm8MsSTvUx3Fa8IT2hqtKfOvJw-nadv1BtLd3_O7vYYJPN9AIvudyuIJNgJAX3IYQwFM0ytZuEqLVqjABIeKHfvlMAhA5-TyHZTLMgfNd1g/s16000/32798560_Unknown.jpg" /></a></div></span></div><div><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6hvZTdhckCEYfhljBobUv5GZE1DddOJBRaAE_mU2hOPlg0RvRHg4LoUd1gBEZju3OncZ9LZvcV74MtXDJKHqSS_keyg2YDcx-34RzgNSTN6x_v-TsrW6wjYgJd7ZcujJAtOFnEhJg-Gs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6hvZTdhckCEYfhljBobUv5GZE1DddOJBRaAE_mU2hOPlg0RvRHg4LoUd1gBEZju3OncZ9LZvcV74MtXDJKHqSS_keyg2YDcx-34RzgNSTN6x_v-TsrW6wjYgJd7ZcujJAtOFnEhJg-Gs/s16000/32799664_Unknown.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span>He is in the toddler attachment now which is just crazy to me because I don't see him as a toddler yet. He'll always be my baby! It's cool because it has a recline. It also has a vented peekaboo window which he has recently loved because he can look back at me while we walk and puts his hand up to mine. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">We have the MESA car seat and it attaches perfectly. I did a few stories sharing how easy the stroller is to use because it is insanely easy. Everything is one click! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you're like me and a busy mom with a bunch of stuff you will love the extra large, easy access basket with a 30 lb weight limit. This is great to hold your diaper bag, toys, purse, shopping bags, etc. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I see more babies in our future and I love that this stroller can turn into a double! I love that it grows with your family! Our entire family loves this stroller and I would recommend it to anyone!

I know road trips may seem overwhelming with a baby but I deemed myself the guinea pig and am sharing what worked for us on our 14+ hour road trip! We recently traveled to a cute small town in Florida called Cape San Blas (check out my Instagram stories highlight VACA for tons of videos (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17861991038024289/">HERE</a>). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Between COVID and knowing how much stuff we were bringing, we decided to do a road trip. The total drive was about 14 hours but because I am breastfeeding we had to make a few stops making it longer (17-18 hours). </span></div></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Easton is almost 10 months and has always been great in the car seat but just to be safe we broke the drive up in two separate drives. On the way there and on the way back we drove 6 hours the first day and 9 hours the second day. Here are my top tips:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">10 ROAD TRIP TRAVEL TIPS WITH A 9.5 MONTH OLD BABY </span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Have one parent sit in the backseat with them (I did the entire time, Justin likes to be the driver lol)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Dress them in comfy clothes </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Pack tons of toys, books and things to distract them with. We packed new toys he had never seen before and brought them out on the way home! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Don't overdo it, make stops to let them stretch out. We would take out his pack and play to let him crawl around in! We have <a href="https://rstyle.me/+3p1a97RJLkvlJsLeyFDTbg">this one</a> and love it! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Know that <b>YOU</b> are their ultimate favorite. So if he got bored and we had already cycled through toys, I would nibble on his hands / toes, sing to him, play with his hair, make funny faces, play peek a boo, etc. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Let them play with (safe) things they typically don't (ex. water bottle)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Have a backseat organizer like <a href="https://rstyle.me/+yo98xwFcUX5qCxIVq8CYXQ">this</a> so you aren't stressed. Example- have a spot for the toys, a spot for food you bring and a "changing station" (diapers, wipes, etc.) </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- If you are planning to do naps on the road, pack a portable sound machine (we love <a href="https://rstyle.me/+nbHKIb4WsxiO2gb7kAOQxw">this one</a>), their lovey and a car seat cover (we have <a href="https://rstyle.me/+kxpx80L0mxVwq2aJcyORqA">this one</a>) or blanket to put over their car seat to create darkness. You can also purchase sun shades (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+msAgVGzVGoNCpYUUggbOog">these had great reviews!</a>) for the windows to help darken it for naps! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- Food/water! Easton is eating solids 3x a day now so we packed food for him and fed him in the car. This helped keep him happy! He loves to eat lol. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">- We had a mini cooler bag (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+Oq4OOY9-DbL7E2zivh0CFw">like these</a>) we kept teethers in!

<span style="text-align: start;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know Easton is 7 months old, but hey better late than never right! I have had the nursery done for a while but wanted to add a few small touches before I shared. I am so in love with this neutral, boho calming, chill nursery I designed for Easton and it is my favorite room in our house! I hope you love it too! I tried to link everything but if I missed something you want, shoot me a DM on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whereyourheartisnow/" target="_blank">my Instagram </a>! Also- if you want to see the nursery in person, check out my highlights under "NURSERY" I am posting a room tour! xoxo </span></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My baby is getting so big! Ah! Seriously, I just want time to slow down. I can't lie to you, this past month has been my favorite. Easton smiles all the time, he started laughing, he makes amazing eye contact, he is just so happy! The other day he BELLY laughed and I seriously melted. He loves the mobile on his swing and we just recently got him <a href="https://rstyle.me/+C76yWqk8XhC3e6PqEGsbvQ" target="_blank">this sit up seat</a> and he is obsessed. I think he feels like a real big boy in it. I feel like he is really developing his personality and it's amazing to watch. We also took our first overnight trip and Easton did great (I'll write another post on this too). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My confidence is growing as a mom because since we've been on a routine, his schedule has been very consistent and life is just easier and more enjoyable. He started sleeping through the night when he was 10 weeks old and that was also when I felt like a new human. I feel like the first month or two are kind of like a blur. I really don't know how I survived on such little sleep, I think we were on a <i>"baby high"</i> from just being so happy we had him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I want to make sure I add, <u>every baby is different</u>. I know some moms who had their babies sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and some moms who's kids still wake up and they are two years old. You have to give yourself grace and be patient. Also- a schedule isn't for everyone! If it doesn't work for you, that's ok too! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He is now 18 weeks today and anytime I post anything on my stories about him sleeping or eating I get tons of questions. So I figured I would share with you guys!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A big helpful tip I can give you (that has worked for us) is to develop a routine early on with your baby. Babies are so smart and they catch on quick. Justin and I are opposites and he didn't think we should have a routine but after he saw how good and amazing Easton was doing once we started it, he agreed I was right. I mean, duh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am exclusively breastfeeding but Justin does doing the "dream feed" which gives me a break and has allowed me to build up a milk stash for times when someone else needs to feed Easton. Easton is a hungry growing boy! He used to be this skinny little thing and now he has these delicious chunky thighs and weighs about 15lbs. I feed him every 2-3 hours. I make sure he gets in his calories during the day which has helped him sleep longer at nighttime. <a href="https://takingcarababies.com/" target="_blank">Taking Cara Babies</a> goes into more details on this if you're interested. Her recommended schedule is the one we follow. Between talking to our doctor and listening to Cara (who both said the same thing) we do not wake him to eat at night. Most babies still need to eat one time a night which is why we do the dream feed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is Easton's 3 month schedule, since we are currently at 4 months our schedule is a little different now (I'll update below):</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His ideal "wake" time for 3 months is anywhere from 1 hr. & 15 minutes - 1 hr. & 40 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8:00 AM - wake & feed (he wakes up anywhere from 7:45 AM-8:30 AM, I let him wake me up but I don't let him sleep past 8:45 AM)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9:30 AM - Nap 1 (this is his longest, he normally does 2 hrs.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11:30 AM - wake & feed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1:00 PM- Nap 2 (normally 1-1.5 hr)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2:30 PM- wake & feed </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4:00 PM- Nap 3 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5:00 PM- wake & feed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6:45 PM- start our nighttime routine (bath time or wipe him down with a warm washcloth, turn on sound machine on low, change diaper, put on jammies, lotion/massage, put on Owlet sock, brush hair, say our prayers, feed, swaddle, bed)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7:30 PM- in bed no later than 8 PM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10:30-11 PM - dream feed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now that he is four months old our "awake time" has increased to 1 hr. 30 min-2 hours. We still follow the same schedule (wake, feed, play, sleep) but we just have extended his wake time a little. As far as sleeping at night goes, he is amazing and I feel blessed. BUT let me add he did not sleep good the first month. Since we started <a href="https://takingcarababies.com/" target="_blank">Taking Cara Babies</a>, he kept sleeping longer and longer stretches. After one month of implementing the strategies taught by <a href="https://takingcarababies.com/" target="_blank">Taking Cara Babies</a>, he was sleeping through the night. We have only had a couple hiccups where he wakes up once and that's only because we are transitioning out of the swaddle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><i>A few tips we have learned are:</i></u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- The swaddle is KEY. </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+y5yFEPU3Ov4BivzhiKgM_w" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;" target="_blank">This</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> is the one we are currently using. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Babies are used to being in a small tight space in your belly. They like to feel confined so we swaddle him for every nap and at bedtime. The only time he's not swaddled is if we are out getting lunch or something. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- White noise is also huge. We have <a href="https://rstyle.me/+78v8al-PsQK3EfVlu0_taw" target="_blank">this sound machine</a> and it is life changing. There are tons of different sounds and colors and settings. When we start his nighttime routine I turn on the red color (clinical studies have shown red light helps you sleep better) to about 50%. The sound is like a stormy rainfall. As I keep feeding him I increase the sound (you can do this on their app your phone), and by the time I lay him in his crib I have the sound on 87%. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Like I said earlier, routine is everything. My mom watches Easton once or twice a week for a couple hours to help me and she told me the other day, "Nicole it's crazy how much he knows his routine. He literally yawns when it's nap time." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Easton loves when I sing to him. So every nap I sing you are my sunshine and he knows it's nap time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Darkness is also key for sleep. Whether it's a nap or bedtime, the room needs to be black. We have blackout blinds, blackout curtains, a blackout shade we stick to the window then I also throw a blanket over the curtains (I know I'm a freak). But guess what, he sleeps awesome and it works! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't wait to continue to see this babe grow and learn. He is truly my entire world! If you have any questions, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram. I'll probably do another update in a couple months! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I linked a few products below that have really helped us too. XOXO</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today's post is a little different than normal. If you have followed me for awhile you know I suffer from migraines. I have ever since I was a little girl. They have got worse as I've gotten older. Luckily, I did not have them as frequent during my pregnancy but right after I delivered Easton they were back to normal. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On average I get 3-4 migraines a week. <i>Yes, you heard that right</i>. I have learned to live with it. Trust me I have tried <b><u>everything </u></b>to make them better and for me the ONLY thing that will ever take one away is my presciption medicine (imitrex, I actually take the generic version), a dark room, sleep, no noise and tons of water.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">About a year ago someone had mentioned the "daith" piercing to me. I kind of forgot about it but a month ago I posted about having a migraine and one of my friends messaged me and said. "girl go get your daith pierced!" I was in so much pain and said screw it, let's see if this works. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I went to Body Jewel in Westerville and it was super clean, nice and they were quick. I'm not going to lie to you it freaking hurt like hell. It was more like I felt a ton of pressure but the needle was huge. It was crazy though because when I went in I had a migraine and as soon as she pierced my daith, it didn't take it away but <b><i>I felt 100x better.</i></b> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As soon as I came home and told you guys I did it, I got a ton of questions and messages asking about details.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A- The daith is a pressure point associated with digestive organs on that part of your ear. The belief is that wearing an earring constantly in your daith will give constant compression to that pressure point and can relieve pain. While there are not any medical studies I could find, many people have had success with it, like me! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While I don't think I will ever be able to get rid of my migraines completely, this piercing has done wonders for me! If you get it, make sure to tag me on Instagram stories so I can see. I hope this helps! xo</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I never used to be an accessory girl tbh. I was actually a tomboy! <i>Can you believe that?! </i>Shooting hoops, wearing backwards hats and watching wrestling lol. Then I finally came to the realization I loved barbies and fashion and the rest was history. When I became a blogger over four years ago, I only used to wear earrings. I found <a href="https://www.victoriaemerson.com/" target="_blank">Victoria Emerson </a> a couple years ago and have <i>been a fan ever since</i>. Their pieces are not only unique but they go with <i>every outfit</i> no matter what you wear. They recently came out with a few new ones and I'm <u><b>obsessed</b></u>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love leopard print and gold so I had to grab <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Fyby3Bz_MTyXhtiSKSmn1A" target="_blank">this one</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+yTwqcoKRqBFOZnMbb1s4wA" target="_blank">this one</a> . I love layering them to achieve a more <i>boho look</i> or if you want to stick to simple you can just wear one! They currently have <b>BOGO FREE</b>, yes that's right buy one, get one free. So if you're wanting to try them out or you're already a fan, go check out the sale and their new pieces now! </span></div>

You are the best gift I have ever received Easty boy and you truly will never understand how <b>lucky</b> I am to be your mama.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was Friday November 1st, 2019 and I had a photoshoot with my friend Lindzy. Let me rewind and tell you I already had my hospital bag packed and in my car because I thought I was getting induced earlier but my doctor changed her mind. Halfway through the photoshoot I looked at Lindzy and said, " I don't want to freak you out but I'm definitely having what I think are contractions." They felt like bad cramps. I came home, did a try on session, got some food and relaxed with Justin. I woke up Saturday to worse cramps around 10am. I told Justin and you guys, you would have thought I was having the baby on the floor at that moment. Justin started freaking out, running around the house, trying to get everything in order. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I said, babe calm down I am fine but I'm in pain. I remember standing at the top of our stairs bending over as Justin was at the bottom of the stairs looking at me and he said we are going to the hospital!! I showered, did my makeup, brushed my teeth and we stopped at Tim Hortons (I had heard to make sure to eat before) and headed to the hospital around 11:15am. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Justin was seriously so cute. He dropped me off at the front, went and parked the car and sprinted in with the bags. He was flustered the person checking us in was taking a while because he knew I was in pain. Once we got checked in, they put us in a room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They checked me and I was 3-4cm dilated and 70% effaced. They put me on the monitor and watched me for 1.5 hours but my contractions were irregular (7 minutes apart) and not super close together. They sent us home and said to come back when it got worse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We left the hospital, picked up food, went home and tried to nap but they were getting worse. Justin downloaded a contractions app for me to time them. I was pacing around our bonus room and would bend over anytime I got one. Justin kept telling me to lay down but it felt better to stand. I finally gave in and curled up in a ball on the couch next to my phone with the app opened up. I did it for one hour and two separate times an alert came up that said go to the hospital! At this point the pain was so bad I could <u>care</u> <u>less</u> what I looked like I just knew we needed to get there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">SECOND TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL </span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Justin was in a panic (again) lol. When we got to the hospital around 9pm we pulled up and I got the biggest contraction. It was so bad I couldn't get out of the car until it passed. I waddled in as Justin parked the car (and this is actually really funny) the guy at the front was a younger kid and he looked at me and asked if I was there to visit someone. YOU GUYS, lol. I was huge, waddling, out of breathe and looked at him and said no I'm in labor. Then he freaked out and said omg let me grab you a wheelchair lol. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We got into a room and they checked me. Somehow I was still only about 4cm but 90% effaced now. The contractions were super close and I was in so much pain. I knew I wanted and needed the epidural. They had me in a room on a monitor waiting for my delivery room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once we got into our delivery room I was in so much pain I didn't even open my eyes for a long period of time. My mom and my sister came (I am super close with both of them) and were trying to calm me down. My nurse, unfortunately, was not very nice. She was an older woman and acted like I was a pain for her. The time came to get the epidural and Alyx (my sister) said Nicole it's ok, it doesn't even hurt! She knew I hated needles and was trying to make me feel better. My nurse (right before I got the epidural) said, "oh wow really? I have seen people jump off the bed it hurts so bad!" Justin later told me him and my mom looked at her like they were going to punch her lol. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I received the epidural around midnight and it felt like a bee sting. But once I got it I was in lala land. I said on my stories that I've never done ecstasy but it has to be what it feels like because all of the pain was magically gone. From 12am-7am my nurse said she wanted to check me every hour. She had me flat on my back and would come in and flip the lights on, change me, check me and flip me then we would wait. She kept saying every time I was closer. Finally at 7am her shift was over and a new young, bubbly, super nice nurse walked in. She was like girl why are you flat on your back? We've gotta sit you up and get you to start pushing! I was so excited. I liked her a million times better already. </span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">THE BEST TEAM </span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At 8am they called the doctor and he came. Oh ya I missed that. My entire pregnancy I had a woman doctor I loved and I found out the day I went to the hospital she wasn't on call and wouldn't be delivering my baby. My only real criteria was that I didn't want a guy delivering the babe. Guess who was on call? The only guy at my doctor's practice. He came in, cool as a cucumber and had me start pushing. He was amazing. I instantly felt at peace with him delivering the baby and he helped me focus on my breathing. Justin was at my head, my mom was holding my leg and my sister was recording everything. All three of them were coaching me, telling me how amazing I was and truly were the best. I couldn't ask for a <i>better team. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>GO TIME</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I continued to push, I realized I could feel what felt like his head on my left side. Oh no. The epidural had wore off only on the left side. I told Justin I couldn't do it. The pain was so intense. I remember looking around and I could tell something was not right. I later found out Easton's heart rate got up to 200 and that was when the doctor said he was going to "help me." He used the vacuum and I heard my sister say omg Nicole he has a head full of black hair! My doctor said Nicole look at me and give me your hands. I reached down and grabbed Easton and pulled him out and onto me. Ok officially crying. The song "You are the Reason" by Calum Scott was playing on my playlist. I looked down at you and you were staring right at me. <i>That is when I truly experienced the most amazing love.</i> My baby was here. November 3rd, 2019 at 9:23 God gave me the best gift I have ever received. My boy! Easton Brooks Leffew. He was 6lbs 13.5oz and 19.5 inches long. He had a head full of black hair just like mama but was daddy's actual twin. I could not have been more thankful the labor and delivery went smooth and we had a healthy baby. For the next hour I held him on my chest and had skin to skin. He latched right away and he was so peaceful and calm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Justin had to skin to skin after me and just when I thought my heart couldn't be more full. Seeing him staring at Easton, being "daddy" for the first time was the most precious and special moment. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey babes! I keep going through my archive of photos and finding some I never posted. I loved <a href="https://rstyle.me/+lKcnxXLHJ3vtoFaz72Vtew" target="_blank">this chunky cardigan</a> from <a href="https://www.chicwish.com/" target="_blank">Chicwish</a>! I still wear it all the time. It's not maternity but it was perfect when I had a bump! They have the coziest pieces and I linked some of my favorite current sweaters and cardigans from them below! :)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend Emilee just had a baby and I went to visit her the other day. We were talking about everything no one tells you about pregnancy, labor and delivery! I told you guys on stories I thought this would be a fun blog post to write and maybe help some of you be more prepared?!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me also make sure I include these are from my experiences and yes I threw in a few from you guys. I know not one pregnancy, labor and delivery are the same so don't get your panties in a wad if you don't agree with me, lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Things no one tells you about pregnancy:</span></i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) As your pregnancy gets farther along, you literally have to pee on average 3-5x a night. And it sucks because it takes you awhile to get comfortable then you have to get up lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) How you will have to eventually ask your husband for help when you put on your shoes. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) How the farther along you get your husband is afraid to have sex with you because he might "poke the baby." </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) If you experience heartburn, you will need tums by your side 24/7. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) How your boobs get out of control big and you will not be wearing a normal bra. I lived in bralettes. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) How actually hard it is to get pregnant. Most of you know we had infertility issues. I thought once I got off birth control I would get pregnant asap! That does not happen (for some like me). </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7) It might take you an entire episode of Friends to roll over and get comfortable enough to fall asleep when you hit the 8-9 month mark. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8) You don't get this super cute bump right away. It's more like.....does that girl have a little food baby or has she just put on a few lbs? Someone actually said that to me one time. "I thought you just gained some weight!" No Linda. There's a baby in there. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9) To listen to your intuition. If you feel like something isn't right, speak up. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10) That "morning sickness" is actually afternoon and night sickness too!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11) Breathing is hard. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">12) You think you are exhausted, wait until the first couple weeks with the babe lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">13) It's actually so beautiful that we create and carry this baby and they grow inside of us. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">14) You do not have to run to the hospital the second you start having contractions, you can actually shower. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">15) That when they "check" you, they are pretty much sticking their whole hand up there. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">16) That you should take full of advantage of free time. Take long showers, lots of naps, go to the movies, read a book, go out to dinner, etc. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">17) How hard it is to keep quiet and not tell anyone the first few weeks. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">18) How INCREDIBLE it is the first time you feel your baby move and every time they do you grab your husband's hand to feel. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">19) Pack your hospital bag weeks in advance because you could (like me) deliver 2 weeks early. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">20) You might actually miss your bump and love being pregnant. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Things no one tells you about labor & delivery:</span></i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) THE SHAKES! Holy cow. After I got my epidural I could not stop shaking. Justin was like babe are you freezing? I was like no I cannot stop shaking?!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) How the first moment you see your baby is the <b>most amazing, best moment of your life</b>. It was like time stopped for me. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>3) How the first few days you are on such a "baby high" you look back and wonder how you ever functioned on 2 hour of sleep. Everything they do is perfect and you just stare and smile forever. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) That contractions are so much worse than a period cramp lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) You should make a playlist for your delivery and have it playing. We did this and it relaxed me more, plus made all the emotions come out to play! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) Breastfeeding is hard and sometimes doesn't work when you first try. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7) You have nurses and doctors coming in and out of your room it feels like 24/7 the day after you deliver. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8) You truly need to focus on your breathing.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9) How crazy emotional you are the few weeks after you deliver, and it's normal. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10) How they push on your stomach after you deliver. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11) How PAINFUL the first poop you have is. Pretty sure I thought <b>this was worse than the actual delivery. </b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>12) Postpartum feelings and feeling lonely when and if you are breastfeeding in the beginning. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">13) How is hurts to walk after. Attempting stairs is a chore. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">14) The first time you ride in the car you might hold yourself off the seat because it is so painful. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">15) Post-pregnancy hair loss. Just started experiencing this and it is not fun lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">16) You wear mesh underwear and icepacks in your underwear. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">17) You squirt hot water on your crotch and butt to help the healing. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">18) You get hemorrhoids. And have them for a while. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">19) How you bleed for a few weeks after. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">20) Sometimes your water does not break and they have to break it for you. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">21) Once you get your epidural, it is insane how much better you feel. We were listening to rap music and singing. 20 minutes before that I was pretty sure someone had put me in actual Hell. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">22) Your doctor may have to "vacuum" your baby out. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">23) You can do it even if you think you can't. You turn into superwoman. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">24) That if you want you can reach down and pull your baby out (I did this and it was INCREDIBLE).</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">25) That is hard to remember life before your little one because once you hold them you wonder how you ever lived life without them :)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi girls! I have had a few of you request this post so I wanted to share the goods with you! I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 16 weeks now so I have learned what you really need! Here are my top 10 must haves:</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey babes! Highly requested blog post comin atcha! Easty boy is almost 15 weeks (holy cow?!) so I have figured out what we really love and then things we aren't huge fans of! I wanted to share the <b>top 20 products</b> we use the most. It can be super overwhelming when you're a first time mom and trying to register. I actually combined 5 different Pinterest "registry must have" lists to create my own when I was personally registering! Yes I am a psycho lol. BUT I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed for him! I am also going to continue to create baby blog posts to help you guys as Easton grows! :)</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ED7cqKb2jkYb0qtr1eTlaQ" target="_blank">Diapers</a> - you will definitely find the diapers that work best for your baby as they grow. For us personally we love Pampers Swaddlers! </span></i></div>

You want to create an environment they are comfortable in when they go to sleep. They are used to being inside your belly which is as loud as a vacuum 24 hours a day according to Taking Cara Babies! We also love <a href="https://rstyle.me/+wJ-cQx27IRzwcwuE_Uub7w" target="_blank">this one</a> for traveling! </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) Pacifier- Easton is not a big pacifier baby but he will suck on one for a couple minutes to soothe himself then he spits it out.

We have so much peace of mind with the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+toAsKOkZmCDyKZ1opHzw2g" target="_blank">Owlet Cam + Sock</a> The sock tells us his oxygen levels as well as his heart rate and will alert us if anything is wrong. </span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8) <a href="https://rstyle.me/+USKWlIuZrpaSbcEcuhOROw" target="_blank">Swing </a>- this is probably of of the top 5 questions I'm asked. Easton has always loved his swing but we just got him <a href="https://rstyle.me/+USKWlIuZrpaSbcEcuhOROw" target="_blank">this one</a> and he loves it even more because the mobile spins on it's own and there's a mirror for him to look at himself. </span></i></div>

It sits the baby up so that you can have most of their body underwater so they won't be cold! </span></i></div>

But recently he has been sleeping in <a href="https://rstyle.me/+FoJ6hFgd6Pxjmeaw4wOczQ" target="_blank">this one</a> and he loves his hands being up so it's perfect. </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just because you have Postpartum Depression <u>does not</u> mean you are "depressed." I feel like this is the biggest misconception.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also I do want to say, this is my personal experience as a new mom. I'm not saying what I do is the best or trying to tell you what to do, I just want to share and help.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we brought Easton home from the hospital, the first few days were kind of like a high. We were so sleep deprived but we were so excited we finally had him. We would stay up all night and watch Twilight movies on end, we would both just stare at him and we both thought we had to be up when he was- which was all night, lol. We honestly didn't know what the hell we were doing (first time parents).</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have said from the beginning I wanted to breastfeed which I'm proud to say I've made it 11 weeks and 2 days in counting and am still going lol. I love it. However in the very beginning (it's weird saying "the beginning" because it still is but you know what I mean), he was eating every hour it felt like. As much as Justin wanted to help, there was really nothing he could do. I would feed Easton, lay him down, go take a shower then he wanted to eat again, it was completely normal for a baby but I was exhausted.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I remember one night I was up feeding him at 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am, 5am and 7am. I woke Justin up crying because I was so mentally and physically exhausted. I want to be the best mom I can be to my child but as a functioning human, I need a little sleep, ya know?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would nurse him and look down and just start crying. I was so extremely beyond over the moon happy I finally had my baby but I felt like I was "sucking" as a mom. Or so I thought. I was anxious, googling everything, questioning everything I did, comparing myself to other moms and their babies, it made me so sad.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once I became a mom it was like a gained a new piece in my heart. I started noticing every mom and their babies. I saw complete strangers differently. I remember seeing a mom by herself pushing a grocery cart with a baby carrier while trying to hold her toddler and her purse. I was driving but I just thought why is no one helping her?? I would have never noticed this prior to having Easton. It was amazing I was noticing other moms more but it just showed my emotions were working in overtime.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the nurse talked to us about PPD in the hospital, I told Justin and even thought "this will never happen to me." We have waited so long and this is all I've ever wanted.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We went to our first month checkup and they made me take a test. It was just a paper form with questions about Postpartum depression. I ended up circling enough questions yes that leaned me on the side that was closer to PPD/PPA. I hugged Justin and just cried. Why was I feeling this way? I love Easton so much?? None of this makes sense? I was not depressed. I was tired. I was overwhelmed. I was anxious. I was emotional. Plus having a baby in the dead of winter in Ohio where it gets dark at 4:30-5 isn't exactly dream "baby time". I wanted to take walks with him, go visit friends, etc. and we literally couldn't leave the house because it was so freezing. </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our doctor said he could prescribe me with a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). This would be used as an antidepressant. This is not thie route I wanted to take. I was put on one in high school which led to me continuing to take it in college and it really messed with my hormones. The second I knew I wanted to have a baby I stopped taking it and have never wanted to be on any since.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I told the doctor no and instead Justin and I talked about other things I could do to make me feel better. I started taking Vitamin D everyday, I started making time to do something for myself everyday even if it was taking a walk or going to Target, I started journaling everyday and I downloaded the "Calm" app.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The number one thing that helped me get through the PP depression was support. Talking to friends, family and other moms. Once I started talking about it and doing the other things listed above I felt like a new human. I think a lot of moms are afraid to talk about this topic on social media because they don't want judged. You already get judged by how you raise your child and the last thing you want people to think about you is that you are a loose cannon.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am here to tell you, there's not one mom out there that is "perfect." And guess what? That's perfectly fine! <b>Your baby does not need you to be perfect, they just need you.</b> You are amazing and your little one is soooo lucky to <u>have YOU as a mama</u>. Give yourself grace girlfriend. You are not alone. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here! XO</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>This makes me miss being pregnant! I wanted to share </i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+jkEIdxfzHkYjcFwX3XDMGw" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">this gorgeous dress</a><i> with you guys from </i><a href="https://www.chicwish.com/" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Chicwish</a><i>! It is non maternity but was very comfortable and flattering on the bump! They have tons of cute picks for the holidays I will link below! They also have a holiday sale going on, you can get up to $20 off your order depending on how much you spend! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Being a mom has been the most rewarding, most amazing, most challenging and best thing I've ever done. It's something no one can describe to you until you've experienced it yourself. I wanted to share with you some things I have learned in my first month of being a mom in hopes that I can help one of you! I want you to remember,<b> if you take anything away from this post</b>, know that you are doing GREAT! You were chosen to be your baby's mother and nobody knows what your baby needs better than YOU! :)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Take all the postpartum care you can from the hospital. The big hospital underwear, dermoplast, ice packs, witch hazel pads, you will need it all. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Take shifts with your partner! In the first couple days Justin & I thought we both needed to be up watching Easton's every move. But then we both realized neither of us were getting any sleep. Sleep is a luxury, so take it when you can get it! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) I know everyone says this, but you should really try to sleep when your baby sleeps. Now that he is older and we have somewhat of a routine, I sleep during his first nap just to get an extra energy boost for the day! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Accept help. It is OK to accept help. I felt so emotional because I wanted to do it all, but guess what, you can't in the beginning. If someone wants to cook you a meal or come over to hold the baby while you shower, LET THEM. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Who the heck invented snaps? Zippers are life. And if I'm being really picky, zippers that start at the bottom. Make sure when you're buying onesies, get the zipper onesies or gowns! These make life 1,000 time easier during those middle of the night changes. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) Do something for yourself everyday even if it's taking a hot shower. Go outside and take a walk. Make yourself a coffee and actually drink it while it's hot. You deserve it. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7) Any projects you wanted to finish, do them before you have the baby, lol. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8) Cuddle as much as possible. You will never get this time back. Babies love skin to skin! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9) If you are breastfeeding, meet with a lactation consultant. She helped me so much! We even took a breastfeeding class before having him but she showed me things I didn't know. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10) Once again, if you are breastfeeding, create a "breastfeeding station." Next to our glider in the nursery I have a water bottle, nipple cream, a snack, a burp cloth, gas drops, gripe water, a pacifier, etc. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11) It is a lot harder than I thought! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">12) Don't be afraid to ask questions. Get to know other moms! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">13) Take one day at a time. And breathe. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">14) Never compare your baby to other babies. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">15) If you like to be on a schedule and want your baby to have a routine, check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/takingcarababies/" target="_blank">@takingcarababies</a>. We started this at 4.5 weeks and it has helped Easton's sleeping so much! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">16) MOST of the time, babies cry for 3 reasons. They are hungry, cold or need their diaper changed. (Number one tip from MY mom)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">17) Postpartum is no joke. If you are experiencing it, talk to someone. (I can write another post digging deeper in this). </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">18) Be present in the moment. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">19) Learn it's ok to say no. I have said no to a bunch of social engagements. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>20) You will always figure out a way and it will be ok! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>21) Do not let your marriage slack. Being partners as mom and dad and as husband and wife are so important. When Easton goes to bed at night, Justin and I have "us" time whether it's just talking (mostly about Easton), watching a show or putting our phones away and hanging out. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>22) You don't realize how much free time you had before baby, lol. When he naps I am literally running around my house trying to do the dishes, start laundry, catch up on emails, etc. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>23) </i></span><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Always have a burp cloth on hand. (I've been spit up on numerous times lol)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>24) There is absolutely no love like the love for your child. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>20) You look at life completely different. You are a mama now and that's your number one job. :)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>There are so many things I've learned I know I''m missing some. You will truly never understand things about motherhood until you've experienced it yourself. I am so blessed to be Easton's mama and I can't wait to keep learning more everyday to be better for him! </i></span></div>

The conveinence of having to only magnetically clasp one bracelet but it looks like I'm wearing a few is amazing! Also if you're like me, sometimes it's hard to put on a bracelet by yourself especially when you're holding a baby, coffee or trying to run out the door with tons of bags in your hands.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Hi babes! This post has been a long time coming. I am currently almost 37 weeks so I'm a little behind on my pregnancy posts but </i><b style="font-style: italic;">super excited </b><i>to share as I know there are a lot of other first time mamas out there/ girls who are trying to get pregnant. </i><b style="font-style: italic;">The most important thing </b><i>I want you guys to know while reading this is that - </i><u style="font-style: italic;">I am not a medical professional</u><i>. I am not telling anyone to do what we did or that we had the magic solution. Always consult your doctor with any questions you have!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I never thought we would have trouble getting pregnant. The thought never even crossed my mind. We were both excited to start a family but thought that the second I got off birth control it would happen so we waited to start trying until I was 28 and Justin was 30. I was healthy, Justin was healthy, we both workout frequently and thought it would be super easy. The first month passed without taking birth control and I was so shocked I wasn't pregnant. However, I had been on birth control for 11 years and had heard it takes your body awhile to adjust after you stop taking it. Little did I know that was just the beginning...</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Month after month of negative pregnancy tests, I was starting to get discouraged. I went completely off all my medication I was taking. Around 8 months of trying I decided it was time to look into some other things we could do. I started taking Premama Wellness supplements. They have different stages of vitamins that you take to help you get pregnant. While these were great and may helped a lot of women get pregnant, after months of using them we still weren't. I started to get stressed but had heard from everyone that doctors wouldn't even start to be concerned until you had be trying for a year. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A year rolled around and we still weren't pregnant. I didn't want to be stressed but I was so sad every month. I honestly can't remember at what month I started doing this but I had downloaded an ovulation and period tracker app called Flo. Flo was my godsend. Not only did it track your period but it told you the days you were ovulating and those days were obviously the days we had to make sure to have sex. Also, yes I held my legs in the air after for at least 5 min. The most TMI sentence I've ever put out. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>On top of the app, I was also using ovulation strips. You can buy these over the counter. I wanted to trust the app but needed to know for certain when I was ovulating. I made sure I was eating healthier and working out to get my body in the shape it needed to be in to have a healthy baby. I started taking a prenatal vitamin. But unfortunately, none of these were working, I still was not pregnant. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I asked Justin what he did and he rattled off a list of probably 20 different things. What actually did the trick we will never know. But it may have been a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), which has been known to increase sperm production. But we are <b>beyond thankful</b>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It had been a year and a half of trying. I would religiously check my app (Flo) to see if I was ever late. January of 2019 came and I checked the app. I was 6 days late on my period. I remember freaking out and being so beyond excited. I texted my sister immediately and she was like NICOLE TAKE A TEST! I took one test and it was negative. I told myself it was in the middle of the day and it's always best to take a test first thing in the morning so I waited until the next morning and took another. It was negative again. I was so sad. </span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">March came and it was right after my birthday. One night Justin and I were watching tv and he said, have you started your period? I realized I hadn't and it had been awhile. I checked my app.....in big bold letters it said 9 days late. I was happy but after January I did not want to get excited. He said go take a test! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>I grabbed a test from the closet and took it. It was a generic one and after I took it I looked at it and sighed. I told Justin it was negative. He said let me see it. I gave it to him and he said BABE. You read the test wrong, you are PREGNANT. I said no I'm not. No way. I just remember smiling so hard for so long. I said we don't know for sure I am. I'll take another test in the morning. The next morning I went to a boxing class then stopped at Walgreens and picked up the two fanciest tests there was. You know, the ones that say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT, lol. I came home and took 2. Both immediately said pregnant. This was the best birthday present I had ever received...we were having a baby. </i></span></div>
