Being in Bermuda last week brought up so many emotions for me. This is probably TMI but the first time I got pregnant was there, and I couldn't help but think about that way too much while we were on the island. I've been wanting to write about having a baby post-miscarriage, and now that she's approaching three months, I think that I've finally wrapped my head around the feelings.
Well our first vacation as a family was a success... although I fully understand why my mom friends say when you travel with kids it's a "trip" and not a vacation. I had no idea just how much work it would be to fly and be in a totally new environment with such a little baby.
What a strange week to live through... a strange month really. Scratch that, the last year has been a whirlwind of tragedies and worldwide heartbreak. The worst part is that whenever there's another shooting or terror attack, it doesn't feel like a surprise anymore. It feels like it's becoming the norm in the news and that is not ok.
This post has been a long time coming! I have so much to say on the topic that it took a while to write. As you read it, please remember that I'm not a baby expert, just a mom who is learning as I go and sharing what I learn along the way. Before you make any decisions about how to sleep train or not sleep train your baby, talk to your pediatrician.
My sister sent me this article over the weekend and it summed up exactly what I had been feeling for the last few months. I had been wanting to write about it, but didn't have a name for what I was feeling.
Let me paraphrase the article for you. As a woman, have you ever been accused of being a nag?
