It's not easy to move on after losing a baby. It's not easy to watch as the rest of the world continues spinning like normal while you find it hard to put one foot in front of the other. Somehow, though, we do it, but we don't have to do it alone.

It’s hard to find an infant sleep study or research that has not been funded by crib manufacturers, in which the information is not swayed in favor of cribs and against bed-sharing.

Evidence based clinical guidelines recommend not suctioning a baby’s airways unless they are unresponsive, floppy and require resuscitation. And even then only to do so using a laryngoscope so that you can see what you are doing.
Bah Humbug. Life is not ‘Norman Rockwell-esque’ with the perfect marriage, perfectly dressed son and daughter, a well-behaved dog, and a golden-skinned turkey, roasted to perfection sitting on the decorated holiday table. But this was never real life.

There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done, and just when you think you are so tired that your eyes may close while walking to bed, a kid wakes up needing something. It never fails; sleep is hard to come by as a mom.

Then you get real and decide that your bag packing has reached a new level: Seasoned Mom Level.

*Always consult your midwife or doctor with questions about supplements, dosage, and other concerns. The supplement world is overwhelming and it is so hard to look at the shelves and figure out what to purchase. I’ve broken it down for you, well at least with the information that I have found! These are the supplements I take while pregnant: (I have low iron, so that is always on my supplement list!)

Can Motherhood Change You As A Person? The depth of this question can be taken as far as you wish to let it sink in, but as a mother of four, I believe that the answer is a simple ‘no’ with a whole lot of complicated explanations. I am currently holding a three-year-old who is crying because he is not allowed to climb the shelves to get scissors, all while I am nursing a ten-month-old, and my five and seven-year-old are working on anything besides their schoolwork. My sanity is stretched, but my heart is full. My immediate reaction to the question “Can motherhood change you as a person?” was a resounding “YES.” Of course I am not the same person I was ten years ago, pre-children.
