If you’re not a mom and you’ve ever wondered why moms say it’s overstimulating this is how an average, not even stressful morning with my toddler goes:
Toddler: can I have pancakes?
Me: maybe.
Toddler: I WANT PANCAKES.
Me: that was rude. Let me look for the recipe and then I’ll make the pancakes.
Toddler: can I have pancakes please?
Me: sure, I just need to find the recipe.
Toddler: can you colour with me?
Me: I’m trying to make you pancakes.
Toddler: *cries* I need a hug.
Me: *hugs toddler* proceeds to look for recipe
Me: *has to use bathroom, is accompanied by toddler asking to wash her hands*
Me: *back to kitchen- begins mixing pancake batter*
Toddler: do you want to colour with me?
Me: I can’t, baby, I’m making your pancakes. I can’t colour and make pancakes at the same time.
Toddler: *visibly sad* I am NOT a baby. I’m a toddler.
you get the idea…. 😂
It’s never ending and it’s often chaotic and it’s also hilarious and fun (and also overstimulating when you haven’t had a sip of coffee yet and woke up a few times in the night with a baby).
I may be overstimulated but my metaphorical cup is also overflowing. My coffee cup on the other hand… lemme go fill that up.
You won't find recent Loyola EM graduate Dr. Ward on the wards anymore.... Rather, we warmly welcome her back to our ED as an Attending Physician!! #LoyolaEM#welcomeback 🚑
@kaylaharpold23 Definitely hard to tell - but hoping you’ll be able to maintain your supply! Early on I kept my q3-q4 h pumping schedule strict and my supply stayed steady. Started weaning around 9 months on my terms, not because of work
@MrsPA_C My 9 month old had really bad diaper rash early on- pediatrician recommended sensicare and it’s the only thing that works for her. https://t.co/hEX93Qo3FC

Mentors have changed my life. Mentors break cycles of poverty. Mentors create first-generation doctors. Mentorship is everything.
I promise to pay it forward
