My life lately 🫶🏼

That first week and a half postpartum was ROUGH for me 😭 and with my second baby being a summer baby, I told myself I was gonna take advantage of these nice days and GET OUT THE HOUSE lol.

So we got dressed, went to visit dad at work, did some grocery shopping and basically killed time while he worked his 10 hour shift.

Mind you… it took me HALF THE DAY to clean up, get myself together, get both girls ready, pack the diaper bag and actually make it out the door but once we did? I felt sooo accomplished.

I definitely heard some opinions about being out with my newborn so soon, but honestly… getting out has been one of the best things for me postpartum.

Sometimes sitting in the house makes me feel worse. I need some sun, a little car ride, an unnecessary Target run … SOMETHING.

And I think we forget postpartum looks different for every mom. Some moms need to stay in and rest, and some of us need to get cute-ish 😂, pack these babies up and see the outside world.

I’m just learning to listen to what I need and give myself grace while I figure out this whole mom of two thing. 🥹

Because getting two kids out the house before the sun goes down?? Baby, that’s an accomplishment 😭🫶🏼

One of the most annoying comments I have received since being out with my newborn daughter:

“What is she, a day old?”
“How old is she?”
“And you’re outside??”

Can we normalize moms being out with their babies? 🥹

It’s literally one of the best things I decided to do with her close to me. It gets me out of the house, helps me feel somewhat normal in the world, and honestly helps me get through postpartum depression.

Moms don’t have to disappear just because they had a baby. 🤍

By the way, this baby carrier is 10/10 for a quick and easy way to settle your baby, keep them close, and shop without worry!

Tai you should be resting
Why are you putting so much on your plate ?
Shouldn’t you be home preparing your body for labor ?

I’m 38 weeks and I’ve only been one week on maternity leave & I already know i will have the relief of not feeling guilty that I didn’t get creative enough. Having the what if’s haunting my mind because I “should’ve done more” I will jump back into motherhood focusing solely on being a mom to both my girls at home. After 4 years , I’m so ready to tap back into that

I’ve done nothing but give everything I had not because I had to but because I had the fire in me to do it , I didn’t want to waste it and I’m so glad I didn’t .

I’m a mom but I have goals , goals to end strong behind the chair and start softly into this new chapter in my life .

I don’t know when I will be back but when I do, i know I will be re-inspired to take my business to another level .

But for now I’ll be focused on my family at home and I can’t wait 🥹

Nothing stops this momma 📸
