A Very Belated Update | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/a-very-belated-update/comment-page-1
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. A Very Belated Update. November 22, 2014. I’ve been terrible about updating the blog lately. Since I’ve been back at work, I have been largely overwhelmed and exhausted. My job has changed somewhat – resulting in an increase in my responsibilities. I still work more hours than I would like to, and so I see my baby less than I would like. A while back I posted about our plans for trying for a second baby. We had originally planned to start on our second...

My EBF dilemma | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/my-ebf-dilemma/comment-page-1
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. December 22, 2014. When I was pregnant, I set a goal: I wanted to exclusively breastfeed (EBF) until 6 months. The irony of this is that my goal has put an intense amount of pressure on me, despite the fact that I am extremely supportive of all my friends and however they choose to feed their babies. Breastfeeding, bottle, a mix… I always tell them to “feed the babies” and not to stress too hard about what that ends up being. A Very Belated Update. The mos...

December | 2014 | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2014/12
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. Monthly Archives: December 2014. December 22, 2014. When I was pregnant, I set a goal: I wanted to exclusively breastfeed (EBF) until 6 months. So… the past few nights I’ve also been giving him a bottle of formula near or at bedtime. This supplementing hurts my heart but he is so hungry. I need to constantly give myself the same pep talk I give others – feed the babies! I didn’t reach my goal. I didn’t… but I have a happy, healthy son...On My EBF dilemma.

A Second Baby Journey? | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2014/08/21/a-second-baby-journey
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. A Second Baby Journey? August 21, 2014. With his dad, but his favorite song seems to be Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Some days are really hard – when he’s crying and we don’t know why, when nothing we do calms him, when he only wants to be held and I just really need to pee… but most days are full of ups and downs, with a lot of love and joy built in. Does that mean I feel like our little family isn’t enough? I’ve Got This Friend…. Thank you for all your ...

Ch…ch…changes | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/ch-ch-changes
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. April 20, 2015. A lot has changed since my last post. My cycle also returned a few weeks ago. So… we are officially on the second baby journey. I’m excited… and scared. Scared that we will have to experience more losses. Scared that I will have a hard time getting pregnant. Not being sure which one I fear more. I don’t know what will happen, but a little more change can’t hurt. It’s Been a While. One thought on “ Ch…ch…changes. April 21, 2015 at 8:59 am.

Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. The Return of the Body Image Woes. July 24, 2014. There were definitely times that I was unhappy with my body during pregnancy. But as time went by, things definitely improved. I had my baby 3 weeks and 2 days (23 days) ago. I am much thinner than I was when I was pregnant (obviously), but I’m a lot bigger than I was before getting pregnant. Her words of wisdom were two-fold:. Both are very good points and I keep telling myself both of these things, over a...

It’s Been a While | Don't Stop Believing
https://thisbabyjourney.wordpress.com/2015/02/27/its-been-a-while
Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. It’s Been a While. February 27, 2015. I haven’t posted. I haven’t done much of anything, to be honest. Things have been rough. I work long hours, I have a lot of guilt about supplementing with formula. I beat myself up all the time about how many hours my son spends in daycare, and how many hours I spend working and how sometimes I would rather be at work than taking care of the little one.

I’ve Got This Friend… | Don't Stop Believing

Don't Stop Believing. Our journey to parenthood. I’ve Got This Friend…. July 25, 2014. Bonus points if you happen to recognize the song lyrics. If you don’t, check out the song: I’ve Got This Friend by the Civil Wars. Back to the point: I’ve got this friend. I will call her Elle for the sake of giving her a name (not her real name). She is a mom to a sweet boy who is a little over a year and a half. For the past few weeks, she has seriously been my lifeline. It’s seriously voodoo magic! You are commentin...
