Almost at Pre-Pregnancy Weight π₯³
Finally holding under 140 ππΌ
I’m smaller right now than I was at this point after Nathaniel. I really thought I would be back to “normal” by Devon’s first. It has been a little disappointing to still not fit my jeans. But I’m getting there! π₯³
My heaviest was 166.6lbs the day before I gave birth. I was just at 131 before I got pregnant. It feels good to say I have less than 10lbs to go. Finally! ππΌππΌ
Btw we are 17 months postpartum. And, I’m still breastfeeding. And, I work a full time demanding job while simultaneously caring for Devon. π₯Ή

Making Bath Time Fun: How We Turned Showers into a Splashing Success for Devon
We have figured out how to make Devon love bath time!
First, we discovered he prefers showers. This made him 1000% better about water in his face.
Second, we put his infant tub in the shower. It’s like playing in a pool while it’s raining.
Third, we occasionally add bubbles! Maybe always.
I have an extra-large jacuzzi tub, so giving him baths in my tub would be a lot of wasted water. We still keep the other bathroom off limits to Devon so Nathaniel doesn’t have to put all of his stuff up and out of reach every time he uses it. So, showers in my bathroom are the most ideal option.
This has made getting clean after dinner so much better and easier! He goes straight from the high chair to the shower. I literally strip him of everything as I’m taking him out of his chair, and he runs to the shower.
I never would have imagined my one-year-old taking daily showers, but here we are.

My Little Warrior's First Busted Lip
Yesterday was a tough one for my little adventurer. At just 15 months old, he's always on the move, exploring and discovering the world around him. But sometimes, those little legs don't quite keep up with his curious mind or he inherited my clumsiness. Maybe both.
It happened in a flash. One moment, he was gleefully playing at his activity table, and the next, he tripped and fell right into it. The sharp cry that followed sent my heart racing. I scooped him up and saw the blood on his lip—his first real injury.
As a mom, seeing your baby in pain is one of the hardest things. But in that moment, I had to stay calm. After some gentle cleaning and a lot of cuddles and nursing, the bleeding stopped, and his tears turned into little whimpers.
Throughout the rest of the day, he showed me just how resilient he is. Despite the swollen lip, he was back to his usual self, exploring and playing with a smile. His bravery reminded me of how strong and resilient our little ones are.
This experience was a reminder of the countless firsts that come with raising a child—both the joyful and the challenging. Each bump and bruise is a part of his journey, and as his mom, I'm here to help him through them all.
Today, he's sporting his little battle scar like a true warrior. And while I'm sure this won't be the last of his adventures, I know we'll get through each one together, one step (and tumble) at a time.
