I once dared to say that I want to avoid raising an iPad kid and plan to follow the AAP recommendations for screen-time. Nothing has ever had other people wishing on my downfall quite like that has.

They are kicking 11 million American citizens off Medicaid. None of them are undocumented. And every other American’s access to healthcare will be reduced by the impacts those cuts have on services and facilities.

I’m doing the 1000 books before kindergarten” challenge for Vera and my only regret is not starting it sooner because we’ve probably read “I Love You to the Moon and Back” at least 400 times already.

Two months ago, when I made the appointment for my daughter to have her four month immunizations, I had no idea it would take place during what should be her nap time and now I’m lowkey terrified of that missed nap.

I won’t say that it would’ve been easier having a baby in my early 20’s but I will say that the sound of my bones popping as I sneak away from my daughters bassinet wakes her up more frequently than I’d like to admit

I told myself I wouldn’t post pictures of my baby’s face on public platforms and it’s been the hardest thing because she’s the cutest person I’ve ever seen

The hardest thing about having a newborn so far is the fact that every aspect of her mood and sleep depends on how efficient I am at getting her to burp and fart.

lol the pressure of the internet and it’s financial/emotional/physical/spiritual standards of birth and postpartum prep is ruining me and I am resentful for having to put so much of my time and energy into working and barely having any left over to do any of that 🤪
