The amount of gratitude I have for my body is over

The amount of gratitude I have for my body is overwhelming- it was my baby’s first home & it delivered her safely to us 🥰💓 I can’t believe we made her!! I grew her! 😆🤯 HOW DID SHE FIT IN THERE?! Mind blowing. 1st pic ➡️ 39 weeks pregnant vs 2 weeks postpartum 2nd pic ➡️ 39 weeks pregnant vs 5 hours postpartum vs 2 weeks postpartum *ALL Postpartum shapes are valid & should be loved & celebrated!! We made LIFE!! That is so BAD ASS!! #Postpartum #Motherhood #postpartumbody #postpartumrecovery #39weekspregnant

What my days have been looking like lately…. 🥰 I am just so grateful I’m able to breastfeed. It definitely was on my mind after having implants/ post explant experience - a lot went on in there. Thankfully, we’ve had a really good start & the past two weeks have been a dance of Goldie & I getting to know each other & finding our groove. Things I’ve found helpful: A great chair - ours is from @montedesign & we couldn’t recommend it more. Incredibly comfy, a great size (not too large) rocks/ glides & has an electric foot rest & recline. @lalecheleaguecanada - great information & guidance @glowbabyapp - I track every feed/ how long, what side etc in this app. SUPER helpful- lots of info in app too. Worth the premium membership. @silveretteusa nipple cups. Helps your nips feel better @earthmamaorganics Nipple Butter- all their products are fantastic @haakaacanada - handy for catching your letdown while feeding (use their ladybug one, it’s smaller & fits in your bra so it can’t get kicked off) - use the larger one for engorgement / general use while not feeding. @mybrestfriend pillow. You need one.
I also have a @snuggle_me_organic moon pillow in the living room (it’s way more aesthetically pleasing 😅) & it doubles as a tummy time prop. LOTS of burp cloths. More than you think. I got mine from @eviebabyco on @etsy - support small businesses when ya can ya know? 🙌🏼✨ Lactation Cookies & @tradmedicinals Mothers Milk tea - build up that supply. A water bottle with straw - drink up. Stay hydrated. (Mine’s from Amazon- Glass with a silicone outer sleeve) Cold Green Cabbage leafs - weird, but have it for your first few weeks. Helps with engorgement. Also ice packs / but don’t use before a feed, use after. More nursing bras than you think. Truly. Get reusable & disposable nursing pads. Reusable is great at home when you can change them out several times a day so you’re not wet, but they are unrealistic when ur out and about all day because they get soggy. Final tip ➡️ use your vibrator or shower head to massage your boobs first thing in the morning. Heat feels nice, so use hot water or a hot bean bag etc. Helps with clogged ducts & letdown.

Stranger friends… meet Goldie Gustard ☀️ The past (almost) 10 days have been the best of my life. I am elated to be her mum, it’s been the most surreal experience. I feel so incredibly grateful. We are all doing really well- sleeping (for now 😉) & waking up with a smile. She’s eating lots (my 🍈🍈 work post explant!!) & she is just so chill with everything. Enjoying this precious time with our girl, she changes every single day. The newborn bubble has been wonderful 🥲💓 Thanks for your sweet messages + love- reading them all 💕🥰

“There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it. And when we turn around to find the self which knows this moment, we find that it has vanished like the past.” - AW @haystackphotoco
