My sourdough bread evolution (2 years apart).

From dense frisbees to fluffy and springy loaves 🤌

@faithmaycreate So sorry for your loss 🤍

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and conceived my son my second cycle after my miscarriage without any issue.

@faithmaycreate Have snacks and water throughout labor to stay fueled and hydrated.

Popsicles were a God send for me, I was having them even between pushes.

I highly recommend having a doula. Mine was a huge help in me staying calm and relaxed throughout my birth.

@audrawrongspeak I didn’t have any morning sickness!

I was super tired during my first trimester and early second trimester though.

I also had quite the appetite

[KK @KK_EmeraldQueen]

@nienna121 Fruit salad was my favorite!

[KK @KK_EmeraldQueen]

@loudaimonia Totally normal!

My lactation consultant called it the “all day buffet” phase 😅

My 4 month old baby boy is 17lbs and 26.5” long already…. please pray for my back 😅

Might have been early symptoms of mastitis and not a clogged duct, but Ibuprofen and religiously icing worked!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions 🤍

[KK @KK_EmeraldQueen]

I think I have a clogged duct 😫

Any tips?

[KK @KK_EmeraldQueen]

@arievmcr Oh wow 😣

Will definitely get it checked out if it doesn’t resolve in a couple days

@homewardnotes I did!

I also got an over the counter continuous glucose monitor. Way better than finger pricks IMO.

Here’s the one I used:

@femalegeist I gained 45lbs. Ate healthy, walked and lifted weights my whole pregnancy. I never looked fat tbh. My face got a bit puffy the last few weeks though.

I’m 5’8” and pre-pregnancy I was 145lbs.

Some people gain 20 and some people gain 50 lbs 🤷🏻‍♀️

@New_E_Mom It’s also super easy to mitigate the mess.

Chux pads, two layers of sheets on the bed with a waterproof liner between them, extra towels on hand, etc.

I gave birth in a birth pool at home and the birth assistant for my midwife drained and cleaned it for me.

My baby boy is 2 months old 🥹

HOW?!? Time is flying

@BrewHaHaWife Seraphine has some good stuff! I love their jackets and coats for pregnancy and for baby wearing

Can’t answer question. Can’t explain things.

God forbid I have to give directions or something.

My brain just short circuits

[KK @KK_EmeraldQueen]

I swear my brain just shuts off when my baby starts crying
