<p>I remember watching one of my closest friends putting her baby to her breast. It was like magic.  It was as if baby and mom were perfectly connected.  Meanwhile, I sat attached to my pump EVERY 3 hours.  I still needed to use formula. I felt like I failed to connect with my baby.  I’d cry because the sound of my pump parts clicking together made my milk let down…not the cry of my baby.  </p>

What is “the best” diaper? It’s the eternal question that every pregnant mother, new parent, and mother of many has asked. Ask your friends, and they’ll all have different answers.

I am no less self-conscious about my changing body now that I am pregnant, and I know I am going to be growing, but I still do not welcome comments about my weight.

<p>Today, 5 months pregnant and counting, I am beginning to get excited about the upcoming arrival of our little squish. I&#8217;m looking for the positives, enjoying the moments I have right now with my son while he is my only son, and dreaming of how awesome of a big brother he is going to be.</p>

While I was filled in on many things, there were still so many things that came as a surprise to me about having a baby.

Instead of having to remember exact moments and carefully fill them into the defined spaces of a baby book, I wanted to give my son something that he will appreciate and enjoy looking back on. I decided that for every event that I deem important and want to remember, I will write him a card.

I don’t think I fully understood it until I held them both in my arms. Now, looking back, I can’t imagine our life any other way. As crazy as it can be at times, I love being a twin mom!

Infertility can put you in a dark place, and it can rear its ugly head when you least expect it. Mother’s Day should have been the perfect time to celebrate my own loving mother and wonderful mother-in-law, but living far away from family then had me feeling selfish.

There are tons and tons of summer bucket lists out there, but here are 25 creative ideas you might not have thought of to add to your list before!

Perhaps if I hadn’t been so confident, I might have heard the discussion about the amount of pain that comes with a C-section. My post is not meant to scare anyone. But I’m hoping that by sharing my experience with pain, those of you who go through a C-Section are a little better prepped for the pain than I was.
