The Balancing Act

By Professor Mother

I found out I was pregnant after receiving my associate's degree in the summer of 2020. I was in complete disbelief. It was not a part of my "plan" since I wanted to finish college before starting a family. I had everything sorted out of how life was supposed to proceed. I was already accepted into an accelerated college program I worked extremely hard to get into. My world came crashing down on me. As many women can relate to at times finding out you are pregnant while in school or in the middle of your career can feel like a death sentence to all you were working towards. I felt stuck since I wanted to be able to stay home with him and not put him in daycare. Mostly because of how expensive it can be and because I wanted to influence him in his early years. In addition, g rowing up I promised myself that I would always be independent and not have to rely on anyone. My mindset did not alter. I was not willing to give up. Tears in my eyes, I searched for solutions instant

My Postpartum Experience- Five Stages of Grief

By Professor Mother

I do not think anything can prepare you for pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. If you are an expecting mom, you take it one day at a time.

I think many people can relate to that first time seeing the pregnancy test in complete shock. I have also previously written about how challenging pregnancy was for me in Two Easy Ways to Help with Morning Sickness . I had every possible miserable symptom. I was so ready for him to come. Then BOOM nine months passed and I was in labor. We went to the hospital right after my husband got off of his 14-hour shift around 11 pm. It was a tight cramping pain and then it worsened into a pain where I could no longer walk anymore. While in labor my husband expressed to me that he was worried that an angel was going to be taken from this earth when another enters.

How Many Diapers Should I add on my Registry? Which brand?

By Professor Mother

Knowing how many diapers I would need to put on the baby registry was one of my biggest questions as a first-time mom. After searching countless websites, I never really found an answer to my question. Remember each baby grows at its own rate. You may be flying through diapers and then all of a sudden you will be stuck on a certain size for a while. If you know your baby will weigh above average aim for larger sizes. My little one's weight at birth was 6.6ibs and he grew at a steady rate. From my experience, it has been something like this for the first year and beyond. Which Brand? Throughout this post, I have linked my personal favorites when it comes to the BEST diapers. Both my husband and I were impressed with how well Huggies held up over time. The elastic in the back helps hold in all the poop. Additionally, we enjoyed the Costco Kirkland brand , which is made by the same company as Huggies. Similar to Huggies they are super soft, have a cute design, and are ideal for sens
