This is a brain dump so bare with me.

I'm seeing a lot on social media about how the flamingo symbolizes motherhood and how you lose your pink because you're giving everything to your babies. Do us who experience loss and infertility prior to motherhood feel different?

I am not so sure I feel that way. Sometimes I feel more like myself again since having my son. Or at least a likeable version of myself. I do have less time to see friends and partake in hobbies. However, I strayed so far from those things during infertility that in motherhood I'm really appreciating everything more now.

Idk I just wanted to share with other moms who have had a similar journey to motherhood.

My son is 6 months old and I gave him a raspberry (new introduction) filled fruit feeder around 5:45 pm and apple and cinnamon puree around 7:05 pm (he has had this before and is done). After I wiped his face post apples I noticed he had red blotches. I took a look at his back and he had 12-15 singles bump raised hives on his back. After speaking to our Dr I gave him some hydrocortisone cream and baby Benadryl- it slowly improved. My question is was it a delayed reaction to the raspberry or a reaction to the Apple? The apple was a different variety then what he has previously had if that matters, I did steam it before hand.
