Our third little one just surprised us with his arrival SIX WEEKS EARLY!! Because he is a preemie, I can only bottle feed him breastmilk until he gains the strength and energy needed to breastfeed (which may take a while). This means I have joined the exclusive pumping club.
I have to tell you, exclusive pumping is so much more work than just whipping a boob out when needed. You have to first pump every 3 hours, then make the bottles, and clean all the bottle and pump parts. It’s a job! But there are items to help make pumping a little easier and more comfortable. Below read what I think are pumping must-haves.
I just entered the third trimester of my fourth pregnancy. I have zero desire to nest. That’s just not a feeling I have ever had when pregnant, BUT I am a planner. It is important for me to be organized before a new baby arrives to help the transition go as smoothly as possible. As a list maker, I thought I would share my third trimester to-do list for any other pregnant mamas it may help. A free printable third trimester checklist is included at the end of the post.
In our house, we are about to embark on our homeschool preschool journey. I’m still hoping that this situation will only be for a few months and that she can attend preschool in-person soon but who knows with this crazy year? While preparing for the first months of preschool I’ve started gathering ideas for autumn crafts. Apples, pumpkins, turkeys, and more are featured in these fun fall crafts for preschoolers.
Never Have I Ever: Pregnancy Edition is an easy baby shower game that can be played at a party or during a virtual baby shower. I’m sure you’ve played this game before in your younger years (while consuming multiple alcoholic beverages) but this edition is appropriate for all ages. Learn more about the mama-to-be and her pregnancy as the questions are asked. It is a great baby shower game to play at the start of a party. Minimal prep needed!
