When I was pregnant with my first, I remember people telling me to sleep while I could, because once the baby came, I wouldn’t have the luxury! The problem with quality sleep and pregnant women is that it’s almost impossible. The sleep problems are abundant. You’re huge, overheated, dealing with restless leg syndrome, and have …
I remember when I first found out that I was going to be a mom of twins and let me tell you… my emotions were all over the place. There was some joy, but honestly? My first reaction was to completely freak out. Once I got over the initial shock, I was able to calm …
So you’re pregnant with your second (or third!) pregnancy! First of all, HUGE congratulations! Watching the sibling bond develop between my children is one of my favorite parts of parenting.
