@mamainottawa My MIL wasn’t into any of the names so we told her if she didn’t pick something we were just gonna call her lady. So now Abby has her Bubbe, Poppop and Lady 🥲🥲🥲

@MakingbbySquids My IBCLC told me to put Abby down when she does it 🥲 tbd if that’ll actually work

@mamagenevieve I live by the rule “don’t wake a sleeping baby” 😂 the only times I’ve ever woken Abby were when she had weight gain issues and I had to make sure she was feeding every 3 hours max

@mamainottawa I used Zofran (prescribed) and combined with diclectin I fully got my life back

@mamagenevieve i was about 4 weeks postpartum before i felt comfortable trying to drive again but i also wasn’t allowed to drive for the last 2 months of my pregnancy because of my severe preeclampsia so i hadn’t driven in 3 months at that point

@mamainottawa CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

@mamagenevieve I got asked *frequently* if I was having twins because I was big and my baby had a growth restriction 🫠 it's just mental

@barbieebarbs @mamainottawa He has a 22% approval rating 🙃 My theory is that he's trying to give the LP a fighting chance in the next election, since, while we don't have a 2p system, our govt does tend to swing one of 2 ways. better a different lib PM than having poilievre elected as PM

@MakingbbySquids I love Millie Moon for their softness, BUT I'm not a fan of the lack of blowout barrier. Honestly the Huggies Skin Essentials are just as good and they DO have the blowout barrier.

@MakingbbySquids Blowouts!

@MakingbbySquids The main thing though is to give yourself some grace and patience. The to-do list will feel long and it's hard to get things done but the main thing right now is keeping yourself and baby alive and cared for. It goes by so fast, so take all the time you need!!

@MakingbbySquids Having easy go-to snacks (especially if you're nursing) is so important because making time for cooking and prep is challenging with a baby. My usual is whole grain crackers and hummus.

@waitinforbaby_s CRYINGGGGGG 😭 I still remember finding out you'd been admitted for your induction and checking my phone CONSTANTLY for updates. Happy birthday lil Teddy 🩷🩷🩷
