I had originally meant to get this post up before I had Otis, but it’s even better now because I can actually share what I packed and what I actually used. The truth is, I overpacked. There was so much stuff I didn’t use. What…

    Jessica - You’ve got everything covered here dear. And yes, you can be over-prepared when preparing your hospital bag. It’s better to have more than you need than miss a couple. It’s not just for convenient, but more importantly for your own peace of mind – knowing that you have everything you and your child will ever need inside your bag.

    Best,

    nat - Oh wow, it was actually so intriguing to read how the days went. I’m surprised that the epidural was so pain free because it looks so scary.

    I’m so glad to read that everything went well!

    Katie - Beautiful birth story! So glad you had a wonderful experience! I had my boy a month ago and I had the same outlook as you, so what’s best for me and the baby and I was go with the flow. My boy came at 35 weeks and I had a c section bc he was breech. Recovery from that is not easy! But as women our body can do wonders, it’s amazing and truly a miracle. Thanks for sharing your story!! He is adorable!ReplyCancel

    Katie - Thank you for sharing your story! What a blessing he is and he is adorable! I had my baby a month ago at 35 weeks via c section bc he was breech and I went in the same way you did with an open mind and go with the flow. I wanted whatever was best for me and baby! It really did make things better and more calm! Recovery is rough esp on no sleep! I enjoy your insta stories!ReplyCancel

    Emme - I have been checking in daily for updates. I was pretty sure all good as last post was your baby shower. I actually cried tears of joy for you…I have been following your journey & shared a few thoughts during the process. I couldn’t be happier for you & Blake. God Bless & much happinessReplyCancel

    Mimi - I cried, shrieked with laughter and felt all kinds of emotions during this post. Congratulations again to you and Blake, it’s been so amazing to see you at the other end with Otis. I just found out I’m 4.5 weeks pregnant, I’m so thankful for every mini cramp and lightening of pain I get because I know there’s people out there like you who had a much bigger journey to just get pregnant. I can only hope I’m even half as calm as you in the delivery room. For now I have to hone in my anxiety of making it to the dreaded 12 weeks!ReplyCancel
