Poll Results- What do You miss the Most Since Baby?
March 28, 2008 on 10:42 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffI did a poll on my facebook group “Ahhhhhhh for New Moms” http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2385934019 to find out what they missed the most after baby. The number one answer…drum roll please… was “time to self”, close behind was “sleep”, and the third most popular vote was “time with husband”. We give up a lot when we have children, but the reward at least in my eyes, makes it all worth it. What do you miss the most since baby?
Traveling with Little Ones
March 25, 2008 on 10:44 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffGosh it’s been a while since I’ve written in my “daily blog”! I’ve been busy visiting family and taking a little down time. I found that traveling 6 hours via car with two young children (20 mo. and 4.5 yrs) works quite well if you have dvd players. My husband bought the kind that has one plug (into the lighter) with two separate screens. That way my oldest could watch his shows w/ a headset and the baby could watch his show with volume only. Surprisingly the dvd’s kept them entertained for the most part and my husband and I actually got to have a few conversations free of interruptions!
Pregnancy- Donât Put on Unnecessary Weight, Stop Eating for Two
March 16, 2008 on 10:10 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffSo many pregnant women believe that they need to drastically change their eating habits in order to create a healthy baby. This just isn’t so…unless you want to gain a bunch of unnecessary weight that is hard to lose! It’s really quite simple. Eat when you feel hungry. Just chose foods that will nourish your body like whole grain pastas and breads, fruit, veggies, lowfat cheeses, yogurt, and nuts. As long as you listen to your body you won’t put on unwanted pounds…and you’ll thank yourself for that after you have your baby!
Postpartum Weight Loss- âIâll exerciseâ¦later
March 14, 2008 on 4:25 am | In Uncategorized | Comments OffWith all good intentions many of us plan to exercise, but as evening rolls around we’re too tired. Therefore I recommend exercising in the morning and or on lunch breaks. In the morning you’ll have more energy and it will get you in the groove for the rest of the day. When you exercise you’ll be more likely to eat healthier too. So don’t wait to exercise “later” because that will turn into the next day, or the next, or the next….
Pregnancy- The Comments When Youâre Pregnant
March 10, 2008 on 8:05 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffEver notice that when you’re pregnant suddenly everyone has the right to make comments about EVERYTHING? Nothing seems to be off limits. Strangers will comment on what you’re eating, drinking, the size of your belly, and how you plan to deliver. When I was pregnant with our second child I realized that people used my pregnancy as an opportunity to talk about themselves. I learned to have selective hearing. I’d tune out the negative stories and listen to the positive ones. Now I can look back and say to you pregnant ladies to enjoy the attention because after you have your baby it all goes to your baby! Oops…there I go sharing my “story”!
