The Awesome And Practical Benefits Of Babywearing

Know the Benefits of Babywearing?

The Awesome And Practical Benefits Of Babywearing

The Awesome And Practical Benefits Of Babywearing (This post contains affiliate links)

 

“My sister just got a thing like that at her baby shower, and was super mad about it.” The receptionist at the doctor’s office said to me, referring to my baby carrier.

“She was mad that someone would spend so much money on something she thought would only be used once or twice.”

I nod, knowing how I felt about babywearing back when I had my first baby. I was expecting her to scoff at me for having such a thing, as is usually the case when someone notices I am wearing the baby.

“But look at you. You have a baby and a toddler out at the same time, at the doctor’s office. I bet you take it shopping too! Your baby always looks so happy and you are able to keep your hands free for everything else. I need to tell her these things! I am so glad I saw you here today.”



Phew. Someone who was happy about babywearing! I told her all about the benefits of babywearing and how babywearing has made my life with a baby and three other kids easier.

She was so excited to tell her sister everything she had learned!

The Awesome Benefits of Babywearing

Why is it that babywearing is so misunderstood? I mean, women (and men!) have been wearing their babies for centuries, perhaps for even thousands of years, so that they can get stuff done. [Read more…]

“A girls-day trip?” my friend asked when she saw a post about MommyCon on my wall. “We could leave the husbands behind with the kids and go to MommyCon in Philadelphia!”

An adventure with my friends? Count me in!

I’m excited for another year of MommyCon, more than even last year when I went to MommyCon NYC. Now that I know what it’s like, I can’t wait to go back!  [Read more…]

Can You Shovel Snow When You’re Pregnant? Tips for Shoveling Snow

Learn how to safely shovel snow while pregnant.

Can You Shovel Snow When You're Pregnant? Learn how to safely shovel snow when you are pregnant.

Can I shovel snow when pregnant?

It happens: you’re pregnant when it snows, and there’s no one around to help you. While it’s not recommended that you go out and shovel snow like crazy, sometimes it just needs to be done.

When I was pregnant with my kids, I completely and utterly went against my own pregnancy advice for winter: I went outside and shoveled snow.

Yep. That’s what I did! You should have heard my family and friends yelling at me…

…But honestly, I knew what to do to keep myself safe.

Raising a Rainbow Baby

what it can be like raising a rainbow baby

I didn’t think it would be hard to raise a rainbow baby. I mean, rainbows are full of hope and promise, right?

Except that sometimes, rainbows can fade away. Sometimes, a new storm follows. Other times, it’s still raining while the rainbow barely shows through.

What is a Rainbow Baby?

A rainbow baby is a baby born after a miscarriage or loss of a baby. You know, like the saying, “After every storm comes a rainbow.” [Read more…]

When Did I Get Pregnant? How to Figure Out When You Conceived

May 24, 2017 by Marissa 6 Comments

Learn how to determine when you got pregnant using these easy steps.

When Did I Get Pregnant?

When Did I Get Pregnant? Figure out your conception date by using a pregnancy calculator.

Figure out when you became pregnant following these steps.

 

Are you wondering, “When did I get pregnant?”? For some women, figuring out when they got pregnant is a must. They either want to know just for the sake of knowing, they want a different way to estimate a due date, or they want to determine who the father of their baby might be.

No matter what the reason, figuring out the possible date you may have gotten pregnant isn’t too difficult, but it is very important to note that it is just an estimation based on dates on a calendar. Unless you had a very tiny camera inside of you that could capture the exact moment the egg and sperm met, or you had medical help conceiving, there’s no real way (that I know of) to know your exact conception date.
