The other day a family member commented about their neighbour who had four kids. .
I gasped and said “FOUR KIDS?! Holy shit that’s a lot of kids!” To which they responded, “uhh, you have four kids!” Holy crap! I have a lot of kids! 👶🤣
.
It seemed fitting that the first project I tackled with my @officialcricut Maker be a reminder - or a warning to other motorists that there’s like a LOT of kids in here!

Few things are guaranteed these days #ad - like the fact that I won’t get more than two hours of uninterrupted sleep at night, that my coffee will get cold before it gets finished and that my @charmin will be irresistibly soft! 🧻

It’s the little things in life! 🤣

In all seriousness though, as someone who recently gave birth softness is very important!

Eight days post partum, and we seem to be past the breastfeeding challenges of last week.

With my previous kids, I always had an over supply - even with Madison who, due to her heart surgery, I exclusively pumped for.

This baby is proving to be much the same, but that hasn’t stopped me from stocking up on @premamawellness lactation support multivitamin drink to ensure that my supply can keep up with demand.

In addition to pumping for future bottle feeds, I also like to support the local milk bank for babies in need 👶🏼 Did you know January 27 is the 4th Annual World Breast Pumping Day? How will you be celebrating?

I’m grateful for this bond we share 👶🏼
.
Third time breastfeeding has seen its challenges. I came in hot with expectations of how easy it would be despite the fact it’s been 10 years since my last go ‘round.

I’m relearning some patience, courage, and humility in asking for help, even if it’s just to pass my @close.to.mom nursing pillow! (And if you know me, accepting any kind of help is a task!) Despite the few challenges we’ve seen in these five short days of life, looking down at this face looking right back up at make makes it all ok.

I forgot what this special kind of love feels like. ❤️
