In the Trenches with BF

My One week old beautiful Boy Leo wants my boobie 90% of the time I swear. Although his latch is good now, we think a number of bad latches after I was ‘out of it ‘ from my unplanned C section maybe caused the severe blistering I have now & on both boobs, and just overall pain which is actually making me feel a bit...

My Sweet Pea🥰

I just love her and I can’t believe she is walking already. My heart bursts sometimes looking at her with all my love. Any other walkers out there? She is a 1/31 baby and was due 2/16 so she is smack in-between Jan/Feb babies.

The only song he doesn't mind me singing is You Are My Sunshine but that’s because I sing it every night so it has nothing to do with songs. He...
