I still remember the exact moment I found out I was pregnant. My husband had just run out to grab Starbucks, and while he was gone, I took a test. Two pink lines later, the latte he brought back was the last thing on my mind. I was so overwhelmed I had no appetite for…
When my baby was a newborn, the idea of a “schedule” felt laughable. We went completely with the flow — feed, change, soothe, repeat.

Before I had my son, I didn’t make a birth plan. I figured I’d just “go with the flow,” trust the doctors, and see how things played out. I truly thought being chill would make the process easier. Spoiler: I totally regret it. My Birth Experience (And What I Wish I’d Known) Or jump straight…
