hopefully this makes sense to some of you 🫶🏼 EMDR is helping me feel empowered by my grief vs. bogged down by it. i feel like i can carry it differently & have it propel me to do good things now without guilt. i wish i found EMDR sooner because it is truly changing my life. #emdrtherapy #grief #trauma #birthtrauma #stillbirthawareness #infantloss #pregnancyloss
our little cerclage baby 💗 2 years ago i was 3 cm dialated at 20 weeks, a cerclage was placed, my water was leaking & we were told there was a very small chance Matilda would make it to viability. against all odds she made to viability & even beyond. my stitch held on till 34 weeks & our little miracle girl was born 2 weeks later & came right home with us 🤍 i will forever be grateful for modern medicine saving (& creating) my baby girl. i cannot believe it’s been 2 years. #cerclagemama #cerclagebabies #incompetentcervix #ivfbaby
#ad let me know if you want more of a step by step schedule or any other questions!! this is all i have been talking about the last 2 months 🤪 i think “potty” is my most used word these days haha #pottytraininingmama #pottytrainninghacks #earlypottylearning #toddlermomlife
i am team “you know your baby best” & this was absolutely the bed decision we made for our family’s sleep situation. i haven’t felt this rested in almost 2 years 😅😅 i only wish we did it sooner! #toddlerbed #toddlerbedtransition #toddlersleep #highsleepneedsbaby #babysleep #toddlerroom
infertility is frequently blamed on women’s bodies even though 50% of infertility comes from the male side, but if you are attacking infertility as a couple it should always be a “we” problem. it’s no one’s “fault” it’s just the luck of the draw & your diagnosis is both of yours to handle together while you grow your family ❤️🩹🫶🏼 #infertilecouple #infertilityjourney #ivfparents #azoosperima #maleinfertility
i wouldn’t wish infertility on my worst enemy, but i am grateful for how this our experience shaped our relationship. neither one of us could’ve survived this without the other ❤️🩹 #infertilityjourney #infertilecouple #ivfparents #azoosperima
Replying to @Gabriella | Pregnant Again i know im going to get heat for this opinion, but if having a huge, new house is not super important to you, then you can totally make california work! you just have to adjust your goals & expectations. we likely won’t buy a home here for a WHILE, but renting is worth it to us for this lifestyle & we invest in our future in different ways. realestate is not the only way you can build wealth & we keep our monthly bills (rent, car payments, etc.) REALLY LOW in order to invest in our future in other ways while we’re still renting! #californiamom
you’ll never catch me skipping a photo after having so few of my first. take the photos!! you’ll want them 🫶🏼 #stillbirthmother #stillbirth #lossmom #babyinheaven
everyone pls convince my newly financially responsible husband to let us get them again in the comments 😭 #disneylandmagickey #socalmom #disneymom #toddlermom
A BRAIN DUMP 🧠✨ i don’t know if this makes sense at all, but maybe some of you will find these thoughts interesting. EMDR is not linear & it is not easy. it brings up & out so many things you’ve suppressed throughout your life, but it does feel SO good to get it out & create new, more productive ways of thinking! #emdrtherapy #greifjourney #childhoodtrauma
it makes the day go so much smoother, but that alarm clock is brutal 😵💫😅 #momlife #morninginthelifeofasahm #toddlermom #pilates #southerncaliforniamom
it’s that time of year again where i start to spiral & have to go on the emotional rollercoaster that is September in our family ❤️🩹👼🏼🪽 #greifjourney #lossmoms #stillbirthmother
Replying to @Mya Van Orden ‼️NOT ADVICE‼️ but this is how we potty trained our 22 month old daughter over about 2 months & are now diaper free (during the day)!!!! #earlypottylearning #pottytraininingmama #toddlermom #pottytrainingtips
