Finally breathing on their own!

After 6 days my little man, Alec is finally breathing on his own! Still in NICU but I feel like we are out of the woods. Good luck to everyone. Just over a week till January! You got this. If you’re having a c section - 2 words… PEPPERMINT TEA!!! ❤️❤️

My baby boy Oliver came early due to preeclampsia. I’m overjoyed with him being here and finally starting to process the birth trauma (I won’t get into it unless people want me to) but here’s my sweet boy! Born December 12, 2024. Due January 10, 2025

Christmas Grinch - world’s grumpiest baby!

Anyone else have any grinch babies? Mine has gone from the happiest, smiliest little thing to the biggest grump ever in the last week. I really hope it’s just a phase, she is just soooooo grouchy all day every day. It’s tiring as all she does is grizzle when I’m not right next to her.

Beer/wine at first birthday

Hey so my husband and I are hosting a first bday party this weekend for our child at a public space that I believe allows alcohol and we just assumed we’d have some beer and wine available for guests, it’s a 3 hour in the afternoon but anyways now we’re wondering if it’s weird to have beer and wine at a first bday ...

What are you doing for your babies first birthday coming up? My son will be one on the 10th of February and I just can’t believe it’s already been almost a year?! Where did it all go?! It’s so bittersweet 😭

🥹🙏🏼

We heard the heartbeat of our little rainbow baby today and oh my goodness. I’ve never heard a more beautiful sound. Baby is growing so fast. I can’t believe that we just might finally have our miracle through two losses this year. What a special gift for the holiday.

Do you enjoy your birthday/ look forward for it?

I personally kind of dread mine and idk why! I love celebrating other people’s birthdays but when it comes to my own I don’t want to even acknowledge it lol
