Friends - if you have a second, you really should follow @KayeSteinsapir and #TEAMMOLLY

Proud to wear this gear for an amazing girl and her ever-inspiring mom. And it’s all for a good cause!

And! The personal note with my purchase really got me! Thank you, Kaye!

@granolalawyer …And that’s a “friend” to cut tf out 👋

@sue_mautz @_nomadic_soul Very true - and hard to completely grasp until you or someone you love goes through it!!!

[Jenna Bench @jennaraern]

@sue_mautz @_nomadic_soul I’m sorry to hear this. 💜

[Jenna Bench @jennaraern]

@Kd4567890 @dreamingofuuuu @_nomadic_soul lol a very thoughtful response to people openly sharing their trauma - which is a very common, yet taboo experience. Your response is very closed-minded…which is the exact point of the OP 🫠 have a blessed day!

[Jenna Bench @jennaraern]

@dreamingofuuuu @_nomadic_soul You’re so right. Grateful every day. 💜

[Jenna Bench @jennaraern]

@dreamingofuuuu @_nomadic_soul Amen sis!

I resigned my Faculty position today. That fulfills my lifelong dream of giving up tenure. I know I never post on this platform, so I’m sure nobody will actually see this, but I kind of felt like I had to say something… goodbye to academia.

@_nomadic_soul Are ppl serious???

[Jenna Bench @jennaraern]

@emilykmay Big Blanket Co. has oversized sheets that are incredibly comfortable. Cannot recommend enough. Def a splurge but we are obsessed.

@drannamvaldez @NursePatMacRN Always always.

Add in a 7 week NICU stay and it’s basically nothing. Shameful.

Officially halfway through maternity leave (6wks).

How do women return to work at this point or even earlier???

My body is still healing.

Showers are rare, meals eaten cold, sleep not happening.

What we do to postpartum women in the US is insane & inhumane.

@Theholisticpsyc My past does not have to be my future and I can be my best self to help my kids be their best self, too. 🥰

Also - I can break generational patterns and take control of my life.

I know pregnant people get hate for talking about pregnancy a lot, but I promise you we stay pretty damn quiet for how absolutely unhinged and alien the experience is—despite being a fairly universal one

@bessbell Mulan!!!

@anberlin We’ll never die…and baby girl is on board. 🤞🏻

@Target Mr. Pippin is displeased that this Threshold copper duvet cover, which was *clearly* designed based on his fur color, is not named after him. 💁🏼‍♀️🐕

@TheSwedishIvy I had twins at 30 weeks at the beginning of May…had to deliver A vaginally and B via C/S. I just stopped bleeding this week…7.5 weeks later. 😐
