I am back and better than ever!

        Hi everyone, it is good to be back and better than ever. An effort to post more will be made. That shouldn't be a hard task right now considering I am not working and my baby is still a super sleepy head. I know that I went M.I.A for a while, but that was all for a good reason. I was busy trying to get as many hours of work in as possible before the birth of my beautiful baby girl.         She is here now and is one of the most precious things I have ever held (I know, I know, what parent doesn't say that). She was born in my hometown of Atlanta, GA weighing 6lb 7oz and measuring 18 inches. I am still not sure if I made it a full 40 weeks or not. I'm unsure of that because I was given two different due dates. The first one was November 27th and the second one was December 15.

Ahh....This S**t Feels Amazing: Postpartum Padsicles

No one ever talks about the healing process after childbirth, but women need to know the good, the bad and the ugly. The goal is to mentally prepare myself as much as possible for what is about to happen to me, sooo I've been doing my research... While on pinterest I found this awesome post that informed me on something that I did not know about. Did you know that your vagina hurts so much that it is suggested that you freeze your pads to helps soothe it? Padsickles could be your solution (they soothe your vagina after childbirth). Check out the link ( Tall Mom tiny baby: How To Make Postpartum Padsicles Padsickles in 4 E... ) and she will show you how to make them step by step. It is a very quick and easy process; your lady parts will thank you for making them. I am definitely going to try them.
