Top 10 New Mommy Stuff

Mommies, we need things too!!! Some of this is not pretty but its the truth!

I present to you my ideas:

Tucks - the big container, trust me....think about what you just did
Thick Maxis - take what you can from the hospital but you will need more
Sleep - at least try to get some when offered
Dermaplast - I only needed the can from the hospital and I used it liberally
Nursing Tank tops - I have survived with 3
A good breast pump - go cadillac and get the double pump - use gift cards, its worth it
DVR - if you don't have it and if your budget will allow for it, just get it for the beginning months
Nursing Bras - the kind that are all cotton, no underwire. Comfort is key!!
Your mom and/or mother in law - saints
Motrin - take whatever prescription your OB gives you, cross your fingers is 800mg!!

Did I forget anything?

Battlefield Baby

No one could have prepared me for the gamut of emotions that occurred during the first few months of becoming a new mommy. Sorting through all those emotions has often left me feeling like a casualty of war, hence the name of the blog. Everyone tells you ‘it gets better’ and that phrase just does not register to a new mommy’s mind, we truly just can’t comprehend it. And then it happens, IT GETS BETTER!! The victories on the baby battlefield become more frequent and you sit back and relish in the ‘better’. Its time to talk about new mommyhood - the place of Grace that has brought me closer to my Maker.
