Celebrating Moms with Canary
So, I’ve been a tad bit MIA for the past month and a half and for good reason. Easing into mommyhood is hard work! Now that we’re coming up on Tay Tay’s two month milestone, I’m getting my groove back and am even getting back to work on a smaller scale! Anywho, I decided to come back to TM2B with a bang! Just before I delivered my LO, a cool home security system, Canary, reached out to me for a fun Mother’s Day activation that they wanted to do. The premise: install these very cool in-home security cams in various parts of your home and capture footage of the first few weeks home with your new baby. So, myself and 2 other moms participated - check out the video here!
Hilariously enough, the day that Canary came to install my cameras, I later was admitted to the hospital to deliver Tay Tay. So, I never really got a chance to play with the cameras before she arrived! Anywho, during the “filming” process, Canary captured cool things like giving baby a bath, confessionals, and just regular moments as parents try to adjust to parenthood. It was a great experience and I am genuinely glad that my hubby and I decided to participate because it’s no lie that the early days fly by in a blur. And another added bonus is that we were quoted in a number of cool publications afterwards!

Things I learned:
You don’t know exhaustion until you have a child. Newborns plus sleep don’t mix and especially when you’re on those early days 2hr sleep cycle...it’s a serious marathon to get to happier days (read: more sleep).
I was so afraid that I wouldn’t adjust well to being a mom. But even when Tay Tay projectile poops or pees on me...or goes through her 3rd onesie in 3hrs because of said poop...I wouldn’t trade it in for anything.
Do what works for you. There are a lot of things that I never thought I would do before she arrived. But now that she’s here, reality requires you to be flexible.
