EVERYTHING

A message for all my NICU mamas

I did it! and I’m not only talking about birthing our baby. I’m talking about so much more.

Being pregnant and thinking of all the gear necessary for your new little one can be so stressful! There is SO much information out there and there are SO many items that you may, or may not need for you and your baby. So I am here to show you my must-haves from my baby registry this time around!

I think that all babies should be celebrated and even though a shower can be a little taboo for second or third babies, I believe that its important to surround yourself with people you love and celebrate this new life and miracle!

So I decided that I would have a baby sprinkle and finally be able to celebrate our growing family with our closest friends and family

Here are all of the details!

I am SO thankful to be working with Tuki in order to provide you with a box full of all of my favourite necessities for postpartum and your fourth trimester. We wanted this box to be full of the things YOU need in order to make you feel comfortable, taken care of AND to give you a little bit of joy and make you feel special.

Here’s a list of the items included, and why I chose these items as my must-have postpartum choices.

I was always scared to say those words. Like since I have babies who are healthy now, that I surely can’t call it trauma.

My first birth was quite traumatic, and preparing for a second birth after that comes with so many mixed emotions.

I wanted to be sure that I was supported, educated, and able to advocate for myself this time around. Here is a list of things that I am doing in order to prepare for birth, the second time around.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and in my opinion, it is one of the most special holidays!

It’s a day to celebrate and honour all of the hard work a mother does each and every day. These things can so quickly get missed, so a day to celebrate all of the things a mother does is so very important.

I remember my first Mother’s Day. I felt SO special. It was more important to me than my birthday, so I am so excited to share with you some of my favourite gift items for all moms this Mother’s Day.

(Moms, share this with your significant other, I’m sure they’ll be thankful for a bit of guidance!)

Travelling with babies or toddlers can be nerve wracking and stressful, but there are many things you can do to make things just a tad bit easier! Here are 5 tips that I found helpful for travelling with our twin 14 month olds!

Writing about our birth story is not something I ever really thought about doing. Reflecting back now, when I was pregnant with the twins, I searched and searched for information about twin pregnancy and delivery to help me understand more about the experience. So here I am, sharing both for selfish reasons (I think its super therapeutic to tell your birth story and relive those moments—as I have done multiple times with my therapist) and to help support anyone out there who is wanting to know what other people have experienced.
