without using a bassinet, which stroller is best for a newborn?
I would suggest the stokke. it comes with a cozy infant insert where the baby is snug in the seat. If you're on a budget, I would suggest the graco only if you buy an infant insert to put in the seat
between the bugaboo and stokke which one has better storage
none of them! LOL no but between them, I would have to say the stokke storage bag is more roomy and durable
does the graco fit a carseat in the stroller
yes it does! it fits the graco car seat. if you like you can remove the seat and JUST attach the car seat to the frame for a sleek look
what does the stokke xplory come with
it comes with a mosquito net, rain cover, storage bag and cup holder !
Stroller Reviews
Anyone who knows me knows that I can sprout an obsession over something randomly sometimes even over night. Ever since becoming a mom, I had and still do have an obsession with strollers. The idea of having my son in a comfortable stroller for long periods of time intrigues me as well as how much storage a stroller has. The weight of a stroller also arouses me. Some strollers are so light weight and some are just plain old weighty. Iāve owned it all, light weight strollers, limited edition strollers, extravagant celebrity strollers to a simple common stroller. I have also owned strollers from around the world such as USA, Italy, Amsterdam, and Norway. So can you tell yet? Yes I am a bit obsessed. Below are the PERSONAL reviews of my strollers that I still own and once pre-loved. You may beg to differ but once again, its a PERSONAL review aka my opinion.
1.Ā The GracoĀ® Modesā¢ Click Connectā¢ Travel System (Ā MSRP $369.99 )
Graco is a USA stroller and the brand is one of the most common and very known in the world. This was the stroller I had put on my registry when I was pregnant. What appealed to me most about it, was that it had 10 different seating positions! This stroller was in competition with the Britax Agile and it seems that people who own a Britax, isnāt as happy as they thought they would be! This stroller is and will forever remain number one on my list. The stroller has a massive amount of storage room on the bottom as well as 4 cup holders! I am able to store my baby bag, a cooler bag and my purse in the basket underneath. The seat faces the parent or the outside world and my favorite part of the stroller is that the seat reclines 180 degrees! This is my go to stroller when it comes to vacations! However, for me it is a very heavy stroller but not not enough of a reason to get rid of it! Since itās so heavy, this stroller stays in daddyās car. Im not really a fan of the fabric pattern of the stroller but at that time, it was the only option they had but had i been pregnant now, I would have chosen the gray fabric. So far, this has been my sonās favorite stroller where he can be in there for long periods of time.Ā
2.Ā Chicco Capri C6 Lightweight ( MSRP $70.00 )
Chicco is a brand from Italy. Another well known and commonly used brand for all parents. This is the lightest stroller Iāve owned. My mom mostly uses this stroller and it stays in her car. It folds easily and has an easy to carry strap as well as a very space saving stroller. However, it is very hard to maneuverer and the seat reclines very limited so a child that is sleeping in the stroller may have his head tilt forward because the seat barely reclines. I recommend this stroller for caregivers and grandparents using it for short distances or trips.
3. Limited editionĀ Maclaren BMW Buggy - Silver ( MSRP $450.00)
When you pull into a playground, all the parents will know your baby is in a BMW because of the BMW logo located on the wheels, the buckle and on both sides of the canopy. This luxury stroller is ravishing. Ultra lightweight and the storage is placed behind the seat and very very roomy! The storage is more of a storage bag with a zipper. The seat reclines with a push down button to a comfortable rest position where a baby can sleep as well. The cushion is extremely cozy and made with high quality fabric. I used this stroller when my son was 6 months old and as much as we loved how convenient it was for US, my son was too young to sit in it, only because he felt too low to the ground and it didnāt incline at a good enough angle for him to see everything that was going on around him. This stroller is highly recommended for toddlers. The stroller is currently sitting in my garage and i plan on using it more when my son turns two.
4. Bugaboo Cameleon ( MSRPĀ $1,099.05 )
Oh the famous bugaboo brand from Amsterdam! Iconic in NYC and celebrity sightings with this stroller. The bugaboo was my first high end luxury stroller. If youāre into high end strollers, you know the forever famous battle, BUGABOO VS STOKKE ! They will always be in competition until God knows whenā¦ This stroller is a very versatile stroller. You can forward and rear face the seat but the amazing part of this is that if youāre child is already in the seat and you want to change his seating position, instead of taking him out and turning the seat, all you have to do is click a button on your handle bar and the bar will go over the seat onto the other side. The seat sits up to a 90 degree angle and reclines to Ā 180 degrees.I loved how the handbrake was on your handle bar just at your fingertips instead of having the typical brake on the wheel where you have to step on it. You can choose foam or air filled wheels but either way, the bugaboo can handle any type of terrain. Why I got rid of it? Well first things first, the storage basket was made out of cloth. It was being held to the stroller by velcro straps. It was not sturdy at all and it would always collapse inwards. I HATED IT! There was a weight limit to the storage basket as well, I think it was 20 pounds. I also hated the fact that when you folded up the stroller, there was no fold lock! You had to be very cautious because at any given moment the stroller can unfold and hit you and its happened to me. The weight limit on this stroller is very low. Your child cannot grow with this stroller. The seat width and height is very limited, so your child depending on his size, can be very very squished in there. The stroller materials are made in China and not very durable at all. Everything seems to break and fall apart with a quick snap of a button. You have to practically disassemble the stroller to put it away, in that sense you would have to detach the seat first and then fold up the base. I got rid of this stroller after 2-3 months.
5. Baby TrendĀ Go-Lite Snap-N-Grow Stroller ( MSRP $160.00 )
I bought this stroller out of impulse at babies R us about 3 months ago. The color and fabric pattern appealed to me so much. I also was obsessed with how one seat can quickly turn into a bassinet with 2 easy snaps. I bought it because I had figured my son would have a lovely sleep in the seat turned bassinet and boy he did! The seat can front and rear face. The storage basket, oh man, was extremely roomy! I loved how much room it had. The canopy was amazing! You were able to unzip it and it would cover at least 75% of the seat as well as if you were using it as a bassinet. It was great for shade and privacy. HOWEVER, the seat seemed very uncomfortable for my son. The seat was at 70 degree angle and I swore my son was going to slip off if I didnāt fasten the belts. Whenever I seated him upright he would cry out of discomfort and the only way to make him comfy was to lay it a rest position but then he wasnāt able to see what was going on. The wheels were made of plastic so the ride was extremely bumpy that you can feel all the bumps on the handle bar while pushing the stroller. Like the bugaboo, you have to detach the seat first to fold it up. Currently, I am trying to get rid of it waiting for a seller to purchase it. Its a no-go stroller for me.
6. Stokke Xplory ( MSRPĀ $1,225.00 )
STOKKE! Bugabooās eternal rival! Another iconic, high end luxury, celebrity sighting stroller from Norway! This is currently the stroller I am using and Iāve had this stroller for 2 days and used it today and so far so good. First, I love how it maneuvers. I can literally maneuver this stroller with one hand and the ride is extremely smooth. Second, I am infatuated with the seat height adjustment. In one easy click, the seat can down and very low to the ground, but it can also be very high up to the height of a table. Since you are able to adjust the height of the seat, most people bring it as high as possible to use as a high chair at a table. The seat sits upright which is my sons favorite feature! It also reclines to a sleeping position. The steering bar can also be adjusted to your height. Now, it does not come with a storage basket which makes me sad and can POSSIBLY be a reason for me to grow not to like it. Storage is everything to me. However, it does come with a storage bag that sits and is shaped perfectly to fit on the bottom of the stroller where it holds its place with two straps. The storage bag is VERY roomy. I am able to fit diapers, clothes and even a cooler lunch bag in there. As of now, I am using it as a diaper bag which means I cannot store any of my personal belongings in there. Later on, I might chose to just carry a regular diaper bag, hang it from the handle bar and use the stock storage bag to hold my items. I recently bought a stroller caddy that attaches to the handle bar so hopefully that will give me more storage. The footrest is also adjustable which means it can grow with your child considering as well that the seat has a 45 pound capacity which is ALOT! The quality of the fabric is phenomenal. The parts and materials of this stroller are high quality AND are the same type of materials used to build Audiās and Mercedes, which means its is VERY durable. The conās of the stroller is that it is a 9 step process to fold the stroller. Like the strollers above, you have to detach the seat as well as the footrest. It is a bit hard to take in and out of the car because it is bulky but maybe its just my trunk space thats small LOL. Personally, I would love to stick to this stroller but I am afraid the storage availability will make me want to get rid of it. Summing up, I am falling in love with the stroller because my son is very comfortable in the seat and it maneuvers like butter! If I had to chose between the two iconic rivals, BUGABOO and STOKKE, stokke would be the chosen one.
How to get your baby to sleepĀ independently
The moment your baby is born is the best time to sleep train them. As soon as I got home from the hospital, my bassinet was ready for my son to sleep in. I put him in there 95% of the time. The 5% he was not in there was if he was with his grandma in her king size bed. When my son started getting bigger, he was no longer able to fit in his bassinet and thats when I attempted to use his crib. I attempted to use his crib when he was 6 months old and at the time, he was not sleeping through the night. It was difficult for me to walk over to the next room which was his nursery and feed him cause by the time he went back to sleep, I was having a hard time going back to sleep. Therefore, in the morning, I was extremely exhausted and had no energy. So i decided to put him in our bed at night for about a month but i still put him in his crib during his day nights. Then one magical day, I found a bassinet at target for 90$ where he fit and could sleep comfortably and till now, he sleeps in there alongside of our bed. I plan on putting him the crib at night when he turns one. Technically I can put him in the crib now since he sleeps through the night, but I kind of want him next to me during the nights before he grows up and wants to sleep in his own room =(Ā
My top 3 tips of getting your baby to sleep independently:
1. Start at birth. Put baby in a bassinet as soon as you come from the hospital. The first three months are the crucial months for training a baby to sleep on their own.
2. If you rock your baby to sleep in your arms, put them downĀ as soon as they fall asleep whether its his crib, bassinet or stroller. This is because if you keep them in your arms the whole time they sleep, they get use to your smell, the warmth of your body and the sound of your heart and it becomes difficult for them to sleep without those factors
3. Never use the crib or the bassinet as their play area. Teaching your baby that those places are where they sleep is very important. Using the crib or bassinet as a play area will confuse them and when itās time to sleep and you put baby in there, they will automatically think that it is play time.
I do believe that since my son started sleeping on his own at a young age, he is a phenomenal transition sleeper. For example, he can sleep on a bed with his grandma for a week but if i decide that tomorrow he will sleep back in his crib, he has NO problem transitioning from bed to crib. He is also amazing at staying asleep when he is put down. There are many parents out there who have a difficult time putting their down baby only cause the minute they go down, baby either wakes up or cannot stay asleep and has to be carried again.
Why I chose to NOT to co-sleep:
I DEFFINTELY do not shame ANY parent who co-sleeps, matter of fact, more power to them! But ill share a couple of my personal reasons why I do not co-sleep.
1. Most infant deaths take place during co-sleeping. Either a parent crushes them to death, or a pillow or blanket suffocates them. Just because one parent is cautious, does not mean the other parent is just as a aware. For example, a parent who is cold and pulls the blanket up towards their shoulders can easily suffocate a baby who is in the middle and below the parentsā shoulder.
2. A good nightās rest. As an infant, babies rarely move and kick but as soon as they grow older they start kicking, turning over and moving around in their sleep. I am a light sleeper so therefore, one kick to my chest from my son will wake me. My son sleeping on his own is both comfortable for him and his parents. Everyone sleepās well and is fully rested to take on the day! I know a couple parents who are exhausted in the morning from co sleeping. Thatās because as a parent, you want to accommodate your baby with as much room as possible. So if he is sleeping horizontal, youāre likely to sleep in whatever space is left in bed even if its in a teeny corner which causes discomfort which leads no very little sleep.
3. Privacy. As your baby gets older and starts sleeping in their own bed, chances are they will start barging into your bed because its all they know and what are accustomed to. Lets face it. Adults need their privacy for intimate moments.
A moment of selfishness
Despite the cliche statement of always havingĀ ādate nightā with your partner when youāre parents, i find that the most crucial date you should have is with yourself. For majority of parents, they project a type of selflessness towards their child that sometimes, they never knew even existed in them. During those times, most parents tend to lose touch with themselves. Before being a mom, i vowed to myself that I will raise my child full-time as in 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I took on that vow as soon as I came home from the hospital with no sleep, I never took anyoneās help. Along with the baby blues and lack of sleep, I do feel as if I was borderline post-partum depressed, but thatāll be a whole different entry! I had all these rules and plans laid out for my son which is the main reason why I never took anyoneās help because I had assumed they would go against my blue print of parenting and ruin everything. That was my biggest regret. I should have let my sonās grandparents watch him as a newborn so that I could have time to myself to rest and relax.Ā
As a full time mom and home maker, these days, I allow the grandparents to watch him for a couple hours and do whatever they need to do (to an extent) that works for the baby. During my time alone, I become selfish. I do whatever I want to do and make it all about me. Even it means taking a 3 hour nap or going out to shop. Either way, for a couple hours, I am no ones mother and no ones wifey, I am me.Ā
I am truly blessed to be given the opportunity to be a home maker and a full time mom. Itās something I am amazing at, cause at the end of the day, I have satisfied my hubby, my son as well as me.Ā
As a parent, take the help that is given to you. Of course not just from anybody, someone you trust. However, I never doubt myself in taking on the world as a mom, a wifey and a pet owner with no help but I would definitely lose my mind somewhere in the midst of it. Even preparing dinner alone, cutting vegetables up in silence is where I find utter tranquility. Or there are times, I get my hair done and upkeep my physical features. Cause then again, at times, you know what they say,Ā ā lose yourself and lose your husbandā.
At the end of all this, having time to be selfish for a couple hours does not make you a bad mom or bad partner, it actually lifts you up and makes you a better person.
Trip to Houston, Texas - 5/14-5/17
my first trip being away from my son was for a friendās wedding in Houston. This trip made me realize how much of a New Yorker I am. First & foremost, Houston has the nicest people in the world! They are genuine and have incredible patience. Even bouncers and cops say hello and smile and tell you to have a great night. People on the road donāt give you a hard time when you cut them off, in fact, they make sure to let you in the lane. They never ever honk and they are generous by always signaling !!! Itās true what they say about southern hospitality ! However, as beautiful as the people are in Houston, Iāll forever remain a New Yorker. Being born and raised in NY, made me immuned to the NY minute. The NY minute is the rapid pace of life in NY, always on the go and always in a rush. Houston is very slow paced and calm. Everybody takes their time walking or even making a sandwich. Houston is a rectangle and inside that rectangle are oval shaped highways. Each highway is built on top of each other so exiting means youāll end up on another highway. Personally, I think their highway system is a mess. This is because if you are trying to go somewhere in the middle of Houston which would be considered in the middle of the oval highways, you would have to take back roads which take forever. Everywhere there is a drive. Going to a gas station or a grocery store takes 20-30 minutes. YOU NEED A CAR IN HOUSTON! Itās impossible to live without a car ! When I Mapped out how far everything was, it seemed so close but the drive was nuts! A 4 mile drive turns into a 30 minute drive, and by then, youāre mentally exhausted from staying alert considering the fact that these roads are not familiar to you. Everything in Houston closes at 2am. That part was killing me. Im so use to club closings at 4-5am. Personally by 2am, I am getting tipsy and want to continue getting to the ādrunk pointā. But in Houston, there isnāt enough time for that lol. You have to be at the bar/club by 10pm and usually in NY time, thatās about the time we start getting ready for the night or pre gaming. Houston is a beautiful place for ones who love the slow paced very calm life. Also the perfect place to own a mansion for cheap. But for me, thereās no place like home and thereās no home like New York
What baby carrier do you use and how do you like it
I use to use those wraps but there is a weight limit on that. I liked it cause I could face my baby forward but i recently found out that front facing a baby on a carrier is very bad for their hips. So I switched to ergo baby. It can be used on the back and on the hip as well and when using it in the front, your baby can only face you because ergo baby is against having your baby face forward cause of the reason I stated above. Ergo baby is one that i adore right now cause I can carry my baby on my hip since he's a nosey one and wants to see everything !
What stroller did you bring that made him so uncomfortable ?
The stroller I bought was the limited edition BMW maclaren stroller. As pretty as it is, my son could not be in there for long periods of time. One cause it didn't sit up right and two he felt squished in there. I brought it cause it was convienient for traveling as it was lightweight and had a shoulder strap. But next time I know to bring a stroller convienient for him instead of bringing a stroller convienient for me!
Tips on flying & vacationing with your infant-
So through trial and error along with advice from other parent friends, Iāve digested a lot about flying and vacationing with an infant.
THE FLIGHT-
When arriving at the airport, I advise you to bring a baby bjorn/carrier to put your baby in. This is because the stroller has to be folded up and go through the security machines. So it is a hassle if you chose to get out the car, unfold the stroller, put the baby in, step up to security, take the baby out, fold the stroller, unfold the stroller again and put the baby back in. Carrying your baby on your own might be difficult for certain parents. This is because you have to go through security as well. You have to take your shoes off, jewelry etc and you also have to make sure your luggage is moving forward towards the scanning machines. After your stuff is scanned, you have to take them off the conveyer right away to avoid luggage pile up. Now this is all going to be extremely difficult if you chose to carry your baby by hand. Right before you are actually about to board your plane, take the baby out and fold the stroller. This is because if you choose to leave the baby in the stroller up until the door of the plane, you tend to cause traffic with other passengers while you guys take the baby out and fold the stroller, again, to be put away.
Second, check in all your luggage. It is extremely difficult carrying your luggage especially when it is time to board the plane cause at that point, you have to carry your baby because obviously the stroller needs to be folded up, again. I did not intend on checking in my luggage at all until we officially got to the airport and I realized that it was going to be difficult. A baby bag DOES NOT count as a carry on but I suggest you pack lightly and pack everything else in your checked in luggage. I packed a few diapers, puffs, formula, 2 toys, headphones and that was it. All other essential items such as clothes, bibs etc were packed in my luggage.
Third, donāt pack too much toys.Ā There isnāt enough space in your seat or even baby bag to pack toys.Pick his favorite toy, bring some puffs and perhaps an ipad. I used an ipad where he watched a bunched of nursery rhymes. Not all planes have wi-fi so make sure to download apps that dont need internet. I advise you to bring headphones as well. NOT EARPHONES, headphones. This is because other passengers do not want to hear nursery rhymes over and over again, neither do I.
Fourth and most important,Ā ear popping. Taking care of the ears is crucial because babies CAN blow their eardrums to death, sadly. Babies do not know to swallow every time their ear pops so parents have to assist them. By doing so, make sure your baby is awake during take off and landing. Give them a bottle of milk or water and if they refuse it, give them a pacifier or some puffs or any type of food they are ABLE to eat.It is pivotal for parents to wake the baby up to avoid blowing the babyās eardrums. When I first got to my destination, I thought everything was ok until it was bedtime. My sonās ears were in pain and he could not sleep and cried all night. I had to give him tylenol which helped his pain subside and was able to sleep. That is another thing, make sure to bring medicine.
Fifth, buy extra space. Im not sure if other airlines give you an option to buy extra space but Jet Blue certainly does. Not only do you have priority boarding on the plane which actually is useful in preparing your baby for the flight such as changing their diaper, but it is helpful when you have an infant on your lap. There is enough room to have a baby sleep on you comfortably as well as for them to stand around the foot space. I HIGHLY suggest buying extra space when traveling with your baby.
Vacationing-
The one thing I regret not bringing was my pack and play because I had assumed I was not going to check in ANY luggage. There are mini size travel pack and plays which I already own and should have brought with me. Traveling is exhausting with a baby and sometimes you just want to rest and leave the baby in the pack and play. With my son, he gets bored very quickly. So having him play on the bed and giving him restrictions so he does not fall off made my son go crazy. This is why I wished I brought my pack and play for him to safely roll around and stand up in.
Another thing I regret was not bringing my original stroller which is the Graco 3 in 1 click connect. Instead I bought a lightweight stroller opting for the weight so it can be easier to carry on the airplane. He did not like to be in that stroller for a long period of time especially because the seat did not sit as upright as my Graco stroller which happens to sit upright in a 90 degree angle. Not only that, but it did not shade my baby as well as my Graco so my son being chunky as he is, was very irritated with the heat from the direct sunlight. So suggestion, bring the stroller your baby is most comfortable in regardless of how much it weighs! And if it weighs a lot, it gives you more of a reason to check in ALL your luggage.
Depending where you are going, the weather may vary. We went to Miami and the weather that weekend was 90 degrees. The next thing I regret was not bringing portable stroller fans which again, I ALREADY own. Like I said above, my son is very chunky and gets hot easily. He was not prepared for the heat and he was not liking it all. Stroller fans are a must when going somewhere warm.
It was my sons first time playing in the pool and the beach and I was prepared for that. I brought a floatie with me as well as swimming trunks. Sun block is a MUST and applying it every so often is crucial. Going to the beach, you have to watch your child closely cause my son kept eating the sand. Baby powder is great for the beach to take off the sand on their body and on their hands. You want to make sure there is NO sand on their hands as much as possible because the minute a sand particle gets in their eye, youāre screwed. They can scratch their eye until the sand literally scratches and rips their cornea leading them to be blind. So when in the water, always dip their hands in the water to make sure they dont have sand on their hands, and when on land, take the baby powder and pour it on their hands to get rid of the sand.
Since it was so hot in miami, my formula kept spoiling and I had to constantly throw it away which was so damn annoying but I would rather throw it away then feed my son spoiled milk. Suggestion: bring one of those bag coolers that fit in your baby bag to keep the milk chilled. With that being said, when you are dehydrated due to the heat, your baby is dehydrated as well. So carrying two bottles one with milk and one with water is important. But because of the heat and me not bringing a bag cooler, the water was literally hot water that it would not even quench my sonās thirst. I had to keep buying new water or asking the bar for chilled water.Ā
Overall, this trip was enjoyable. I learned a lot traveling with a baby and I hope you can prepare yourself to travel after reading my tips and suggestions! I am excited to go to Disney in June with my son especially because I feel I will be more prepared!
XOXO, g.
Listen bitch , you are not the different that is rare ; you are the different that is common.Please know the difference and humble yourself.
Past 5 months as a mother -
Being a mother has taught me patience but the one major thing i have learned is how to differentiate petty from major. Since my son, what i use to consider major is now nothing but petty to me. From girlfriend's corny relationship problems to not getting a full nights sleep. I considered myself pretty selfless before being a mom, but now i see what the epitome of selfless really means. As a mother, its never going to be about me as much as it is going to be about my son. I have also learned who i want in my life considering the fact they're going to be around my son such as low lives, selfish or drug addict people. Along with that comes the distance I chose to designate from those other parents who have no intention of raising or being a good parent to their child. Last but not least, I also have rebuilt those old bridges that have been burned with past friends. Having no enemies feels so damn good and my son was unquestionably my inspiration
Past 5 months being with my son-
Oh where do I even start ?! My son is something else. He is such a Ā colossal boy who is unquestionably advanced in all aspects. In 2 weeks he was holding his head up, at 3 months he was able to sit in a jumper and use a walker, at 4 months he started teething and now I can clearly see his personality. He is palpably always ready for a picture, he screeches cause he can be quite dramatic, he trifles with ladies, he unfortunately has a tempter but quite funny cause he puts all his energy into one big burst of emotion and lastly, he has this obsession with Mickey mouse. He can watch Mickey mouse all day long! to the point where I am losing my mind hearing Mickey's voice and songs. He knows Mickey's face too and every time Mickey walks up the hill from the show " Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ", my son ruptures in a immense smile. I cant wait to learn more about him!

Becoming a mother has changed my perspective on situations that use to appeal me. If doesnāt have to do anything with good vibes, I donāt want part. I donāt even want to hear about the immature relationships that my friends have. When there is an outting, as much as I want to go, I donāt want to leave my son behind to do something that Iāve already done before. Whatās crazier is that the people i had burned bridges with, I seem to be rekindling with and it makes me feel good because of the positivity of forgiving and forgetting. Some people claim that Iām becoming distant with them, I just like to consider it, me being a mom.
la dolce vita - the sweet life. I have succeeded with being at peace with myself and that majorly contributes to my happiness. everyone can live by favorite motto, la dolce vita. but you can only live it if you decide to become your own hero and find your ier peace.
Xx, G
thank you for re blogging !!! xoxo
did you have the baby blues after birth. is that a real thing? what did you do about it
unfortunately, it is a true thing. I have to admit I definitely had the baby blues and as I look back on my mental thoughts, I do believe I was borderline post partum depressed. the one thing to always remember, is that you aren't alone and that it is completely normal. it goes away after 3 weeks, however, it may come back to haunt you. my suggestion: sleep when the baby sleeps. talk to your spouse about it. when help is offered, take it. when help ISNT offered, ask for it. eating can change your mood tremendously, so eat healthy and at the appropriate times. if you have visions of hurting your baby and see yourself really wanting to, seek professional help. it's not a bad thing to seek help, it's normal for all mothers. YOURE NOT ALONE! just always remember that.
I love your blog! it makes me feel positive about being a mother
thank you! im glad my blog can have that affect on you. being a mom is going to be the best thing that's ever happened to you, I promise.
