How To Survive Postpartum

June 7, 2019August 23, 2019 / Jasmine / 1 Comment

"It'll be fun," they said. "Have a baby!" they said. So you did. Now you find yourself, not unlike the vast majority of new mamas, just weeks or months after the most excruciatingly difficult physical experience you've ever encountered, LITERALLY going insane. No, it's not just you... but yes, you are insane. Welcome to postpartum!

A sweet, spontaneous (UNPLANNED ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ™ˆ) moment between two best friends. Mae Mae was having a rough morning yesterday so John Ryan decided to cheer her up. Firefighter hats are the absolute coolest and getting a ride around the kitchen on a super big truck is even better. Iโ€™m just in love with these two!! Theyโ€™re both so precious. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ #SiblingLove #BestFriends #BigFamily
What 15mo apart looks like: 1 new molar + 1 new bottom tooth = 2 babies in need of 2 TIRED PARENTS all night long ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† #TeethingBabies #2Under2 #Twinsies #SendHelp #SendCoffee #TiredMama #BloggersofInstagram #ToddlersofInstagtam #MommyBlogger
Say โ€œHappy Thanksgiving!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‘ โ€œPoopโ€ (Swipe ๐Ÿ‘‰) ๐Ÿ˜†
Happy Thanksgiving, all!! We had such a beautiful day with family and loved every minute of hosting our first Thanksgiving in our new home! We are so very blessed to have so much of our family close by and that our kids get to grow up with memories of the wonderful hustle and bustle of holidays. It is my prayer that each and every one of you felt surrounded by love and blessings today, as well! And now... onto shopping!! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdinner #thankful #sothankful #family #blessed #bloggersofinstagram #mommyblogger #blackfriday #shopping
PSA: there is a BETTER WAY to cook squash!! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Swipe ๐Ÿ‘‰ to see the after ๐Ÿ‘Œ #thanksgiving #thanksgivingprep #thanksgivingdinner
To all the Pinterest pinning, OCD leaning, over-achieving-ing, Joanna Gaines loving, check-list writing, โ€œa little more to the leftโ€ directing, unashamed at the micromanaging, โ€˜just pretend your fine and smileโ€™ wearing, closet-party-planning-perfectionist mamas out there today: TAKE A BREATH. Pause for just a moment, close your eyes and remember: The best memories are messy. The best photos are the ones that donโ€™t ever make it to Instagram. Your kids wonโ€™t ever remember if the turkey was done on time, the table settings were perfect, or the dessert dish looked like it did in the picture. What they will remember is if you were present. Happy. Enjoying yourself. Thatโ€™s what theyโ€™ll remember. And theyโ€™re the only ones that you care about what they think in the long run, anyway. โ€”โ€” November 27: Iโ€™m #SoThankful for all my mama friends that have those great control freak personalities and the many benefits we bring to the table! But Iโ€™m also so grateful for the ability to stop when itโ€™s time to stop. To enjoy the process, not just the result. And for the amazing people in my life who constantly point me to the more important things, and remind me to be present and enjoy the moment. Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!! Wishing you all a wonderful cleaning/cooking/preparing/rechecking/decorating/ENJOYING day! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— #november #novemberchallenge #thanksgiving #perfectionist #controlfreak #bloggingmama #bloggersofinstagram #holidays #blessed #enjoylife
