My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

March 8, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

My Must Have Breastfeeding Clothes

I can’t believe I have an almost 9-month-old baby and I haven’t done a post yet on breastfeeding clothes.  Each day I remind myself that this breastfeeding experience is nearing the end.  With this being my last baby, I have some mixed emotions on letting go of breastfeeding.  I can tell I’m getting ready to be done.  I never planned on going past 12 months, so as she gets older I’m starting to do more bottles.  Even though I’m looking forward to getting my body completely back to myself, I’m sad to let it go.  It just reminds me that the baby stage goes by so fast and you really need to take it all in while you can.

Baby Update- 5 Months

November 16, 2020 by Katie Haller

Baby 5 month update #babyupdate #5months

 Baby Update

Anna is 5 months and I can’t believe how quickly this year is flying by.  Anna continues to be the light of my 2020.  This month Anna has lived through her first Halloween and her first Presidential election.  Both events she didn’t seem to notice very much.  She’s such a happy little baby.  She is completely clueless about any of the drama that surrounds this year.  She’s just in her happy little baby world and I love it.

5 Tips for Getting Your Body Back After Baby

After sharing your body with another human for 9 months, it’s only natural to want to get your body back after you have a baby.  For me, I didn’t enjoy my pregnant body.  I felt uncomfortable with it.  There were definitely times when I looked at myself in awe of what my body could do, but most of the time I just wanted to get back to my old self.  I’m much more comfortable with my postpartum body than I was with my pregnant body.  It’s not perfect, but I feel like I’m headed in the right direction.

Baby Update- Three Months

September 14, 2020 by Katie Haller

Baby Update

Anna is 3 months already!  That’s a quarter of a year!  I can’t believe how fast it’s going, but if I learned one thing from the first time around, it’s that babies grow fast.  You have to soak it all in while you can!
This month Anna’s likes are smiling, her big brother, standing up when she’s held, and bath time.  Really there’s not much she doesn’t like.  So far her only dislike is her car seat.  She hates it and cries every time she’s in it unless she’s sleeping.  Anna has been getting so active this month.  I can tell that we are officially out of the newborn stage.  She’s grabbing at everything, eating her hands, and even rolling over.  She can roll from tummy to back and back to tummy.  It seems pretty early to be that mobile, but she probably can’t wait to keep up with her big brother.

Why I Love my Belly Bandit C-Section Shorts

July 17, 2020 by Katie Haller

Belly Bandit C-Section Shorts
Let’s talk about postpartum recovery for a minute.  It’s not an easy process.  For me, after sharing my body with another human for 9 months, I got very excited about getting my body back.  It’s exciting to think about all the clothes that you can wear again and just how much more comfortable it is without a baby pressing against your insides.  The problem is, postpartum recovery takes time.  It’s much more than just recovering from childbirth.  Your body needs to heal from the pregnancy too.

One Month Baby Update + One Month Postpartum

July 15, 2020 by Katie Haller

One month baby update
It’s hard for me to believe that an entire month has gone by since we welcomed our little Anna into the world.  In some ways, I feel like she’s been here forever and in other ways, I feel like it was just yesterday I was at the hospital giving birth.  A lot happens in those first weeks, so I just wanted to share a baby update and postpartum update.
