Pregnant?

I am 6 months PP and me and my husband decided to start trying again. For our first it took about 5 months before we became pregnant. In that pregnancy the very first thing I craved was limes and brats

I am a week out from starting my period, but tell me why I am eating a key lime pie and brats for lunch after I was nauseous at the thought of eating chicken.

I have zero other reason to believe I’m pregnant lol, but we will see

I cracked the code

My LO is just over 6 months.

She’s been exclusively breast milk fed, by either direct latch or pumped milk. The entire time I have been loosing weight, I’m not 15 pound below my pre pregnancy weight, which I understand isn’t everyone’s story.

Don’t get me wrong I feel blessed to be losing weight and becoming more healthy, but honestly I was also struggling a lot with eating enough and I think that isn’t a healthy way to be losing weight while breastfeeding.

I finally cracked the code to getting more nutrients and I wanted to share.

Every mid morning for the past two weeks I make myself a protein Latte. This is my first time ever having anything protein. I use a chocolate protein powder, make myself a latte as I normally would and add the powder along with a dash of Chocolate syrup and ice. Iced protein mocha.

I feel physically better, I’m less moody, and I’m not absolutely starving by lunch.

Woven wrap

Any tips to get a tighter fit for a front cross carry in the oven wrap. I got a girasol for Mother’s Day, size 6 and I love it. I was using a stretchy wrap before and always got it super tight, but I am struggling with this. I seem to get a tight fit using the poppins hip carry and a ring sling carry, but I can’t do any sort of front carry yet.

Advice is welcomed

I graduated

Well I did it. I graduated. I went to school full time, did three semester long practicums, 20 hours a week GA position, heck I had my first baby and still finished on time.

Everything I did, the moments I missed with my new born, the stress of finding halfway decent child care, the essays I wrote, interviews I conducted, none of it feels worth it.

I’ve applied to 22 jobs, leading to one phone interview that left me with so many red flags. I’ve followed up at 8 places which no response. I’ve heard back from two places saying they closed the position without hiring anyone.

Was any of it worth it?

My husband bought me a girasol woven wrap from little zen one for my first Mother’s Day and I was so excited!

It says the package was delivered on Saturday, but it never came. For reference the entire front of my house is windows and o had a ton of family over because i also graduated with my masters on Saturday. No one in my family saw the package being delivered.

I’m going to the post office today to see what they can do. But does anyone have experience with customer service of little zen one with issues like this?

As long as I get above an 85% on the digital essay I just submitted I will have officially finished my masters. I had my baby November and finished two semesters worth of classwork since. Quite possibly the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
