Thank you so much, Jennie! I’m so excited for you in this sweet time—late third trimester is for the birds but after the last five weeks, I’m already ready to do it again 🥹

Thank you so much 🥹 and yes! Isn’t it wild how we forget all about the bad/difficult stuff as soon as we’re holding that precious baby? 💛

I’m two weeks postpartum with my third, so I am eager to hear more on your experience this go-around! I’m having a lot of guilt around balancing the needs of my older two with a very dependent newborn...trying to be present and enjoy the moment for what it is rather than looking ahead to when there will be more routine, predictability, and (hopefully) sleep.

That guilt is always one of the hardest parts. I totally relate to the being present and not wishing it away part—maybe one of the hardest things to do! Congratulations on your newest addition 💛

So nice to hear from you and that video is precious 🥰 I'm due with my third on November so reading these kinds of posts gives me good ideas! Also I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose period comes back so soon 🙈

Congratulations, Kym! And honestly, like what could be worse than getting through a week of postpartum contractions, weeks of bleeding only to have like three good days before doing it all over again 🫠😂

Maybe we have to take it as a sign of good hormones? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 Solidarity ✊

Mine does too! And I EBF so I never understood it when my mama friends would say they didn’t have their period until they stopped nursing 🤷🏼‍♀️

SAME! Everyone’s like “I haven’t gotten my period in a year” meanwhile, after exclusively breastfeeding four babies, I’ve had a year full of periods each time 😂😅😅
