Motherhood

Let me begin by saying that I am not an expert. I am just a first time mom whose baby had issues gaining weight at the beginning. If that is where you’re at right now, take comfort in the fact that I’ve heard of SO MANY babies who have had the same ‘issue’. It’s not…

It’s hard to believe Fischer is four months old already. He’s coming out of his sleep regression, becoming much more interested in toys and his surrounding. Plus, he is eating more efficiently than he ever has. All of these things together have made my mama life SO MUCH easier and I’m honestly so grateful. There…

Month three has definitely been a fun one. Fischer is becoming a little bit more independent, growing like a weed and is sleeping through the night! With each passing day his sweet little personality comes out more and more and it’s so fun to watch him grow into an actual little person.

I started to realize that he was getting sweaty and cranky at times so I began just letting him hang out in a short sleeve onesie without pants and he gets much less flustered. Plus, I think he enjoys being able to feel things against his skin! Thank goodness Spring came when it did.

Since I am the only source of my baby’s nutrition, I’m constantly monitoring my milk supply and semi-obsessing about whether or not he’s getting enough to eat. To help ease my mind, I’ve begun making these…

It’s hard to believe our little man was born two whole months ago! I’m going to start a monthly series where I give an update on our sweet little Fischer and highlight the products that we’ve been using over the past month! I think it’ll be a fun way to document and remember this special…
