Hello, let me introduce myself first..
For the first 30 years of my life, everything was smooth and worry-free. I was my parents’ most beloved child, found my true love in college, and happily married him after graduation.
At work, I was my boss’s most valued employee. Whenever I was in charge of a project, colleagues would inevitably say, “Oh, then I’m totally at ease.” I was constantly named “Employee of the Year,” with generous bonuses every year.
Later, I started my own business. Within just three months, I had broken into the market and started making money. By the fifth month, I was earning twice my previous salary. Growth was steady month after month. Right when the business needed more hands, I serendipitously met an amazing partner, and the company reached a whole new level.
Really, it seemed like at every step, whatever I needed, a pair of hands would always place it right in front of me, just in time.
My Two Girls: Ellie & Mia
Meet Ellie, My Firstborn
In 2020, my husband and I decided to have a child. After trying for over a year, we finally got the news in 2021 that a little one was on the way. In 2022, we welcomed our first child, Ellie. She made me a mother.
She is utterly adorable—big eyes, rosy skin, chubby little hands. Every time I look at her, I can’t help but give her a kiss. She is pure joy, and I love her more each day.
But as a first-time mom, I faced unprecedented difficulties. The postpartum tearing wouldn’t heal, and the pain was excruciating. Clogged milk ducts made my breasts hard as rocks. The severe sleep deprivation… And what was even more crushing was that, with zero parenting experience, I was clueless when faced with her unexplained wailing, night terrors, refusal to nurse, constipation, diarrhea, fevers… I desperately searched online, longing for one accurate, truly useful answer!
It was during this time that I thought, once I make it through this “dark” path, I must leave a light on for other new moms.
And Then Came Mia
Ellie had just turned one when I got pregnant again. In 2024, we welcomed our second daughter, Mia.
Completely different from Ellie, Mia is a great eater and sleeper. Although she had her fussy moments in the first two months, starting almost from month three, she became super easygoing. She feeds on schedule, gradually sleeps through the night, loves her solid foods, and adapted quickly when I had to stop breastfeeding due to mastitis.
This made me realize just how vastly different babies can be! It made me even more determined to write about my experiences.
Why I Had to Start This Blog
The Catalyst: A Life Pivoted
After Mia was born, my business also began to decline sharply. I had no choice but to close it and become a full-time mom. My work no longer involves Excel and Word, but instead revolves around changing diapers, washing bottles, making baby food, and managing household chores…
This has been a monumental challenge for me. All my past achievements seem irrelevant now. Managing two young children has brought me a sense of frustration I’ve never known before.
The Daily Reality
They are always fighting over things. When one is in my arms, the other immediately demands to be held too. When I try to cook, Ellie wants me to read her a book. When I attempt to load the washing machine, Mia has a diaper blowout, and I must drop everything to change her…
By the time I finish all that, I see the cup of hot coffee on the table has gone cold again. And it’s not until evening that I remember, “Oh my goodness, the clothes are still in the hamper, unwashed!”
Of course, being a mom is filled with happiness, but that doesn’t negate how hard it is.
My Promise to You
Because I’ve walked this path myself, I won’t just tell you how joyful motherhood is, like many websites do. I want to share my real, unfiltered experiences so every new mom can find a “companion” here.
I want to tell you: you are not alone. What you’re going through, I’ve been there too. Your breakdowns, your helplessness, your moments of losing control—I’ve had them all. You don’t need to feel guilty. This is just a small, necessary stretch of the journey for every mom.
My Hope for This Space
I really want to share my parenting experiences—not just the warm, glowing moments, but to honestly document the pitfalls I’ve stumbled into, the tears I’ve shed, and the “survival wisdom” I’ve scraped together in utter exhaustion.
The Goal: A Mom’s Toolkit
I hope this blog becomes a “mom’s toolkit,” filled not with vague theories, but with:
- Practical Tips: Like how to quickly figure out why a baby is crying, tried-and-true methods for dealing with clogged ducts, or how to efficiently manage the daily grind with twins (or two under two) solo.
- Pitfall Avoidance Guides: Sharing the baby products I regret buying the most, and those “game-changer” parenting hacks. Letting you know which parenting anxieties you can let go of, and which principles are worth holding onto.
- A Community for Moms: I hope my stories connect me with more moms like you. We can cheer each other on in the comments, share our own tricks, turning the storms we face alone into a journey we walk together.
The Bigger Vision
My previous career taught me to analyze data, solve problems, and optimize processes. Now, I’m applying all those skills to this new “position” of Mom. I want to prove that a mom’s value is absolutely not confined to the home. The mindset, resilience, and creativity we built in our careers can shine just as brightly—perhaps even brighter—in this more complex, long-term “project” of raising humans, and can even be transformed into a force that helps others.
My hope is simple: that every mom who opens this blog can let out a sigh of relief and say, “So it’s not just me.” Then, she can find a bit of practical info, a dose of comforting solidarity, and return to her sweet, chaotic mom-life with a little more confidence and a little less weight on her shoulders.
This road? Let’s walk it together.
Re: 3rd Trimester Check-In: March 13
You can also look up and see if there is a La Leche League in your area. I'm planning on going to a meeting before baby comes to meet new moms and get a sense for things BF wise.

@babylonghorn16 hopefully that smart baby will give birth to another smart baby hehe
@pdbird thanks for that advice, I'm not attending a BF class but my midwife had a talking to my SO and said he has to be supportive and encourage BF for at least two weeks. Obviously if there is a clear reason why I'd need to not BF then that changes things
@wifeinraleigh28 I think you'll know when you need to pump, your breasts will "tell" you. Having a baby is just a whole new world isn't it? It's exciting and terrifying at the same time but we're all going to do brilliantly!

@wifeinraleigh28 watch lots of YouTube videos about your pump. That has helped so much! Plus the lactation consultants can help if you need specific flanges or a special piece.
In regards to pumping while working, I think you just have to set a schedule to avoid the uncomfortable engorgement part. I've talked with several other staff members and friends who work in a clinic environment like I do and their advice was to breastfeed baby before work and about every 3 hours pump at work. When you are pumping you want to stay on a similar schedule that you would be feeding the baby if you were at home.
I highly recommend the breastfeeding class! I found it very informative. I'm sure you can read or youtube all of the info, but I was stressed out by the idea of finding the right book/videos and then finding the time to read/watch. Was nice to just have a scheduled, one time event. The nurse teaching the class also went over the hospital's procedures and policies which was nice too. So now we'll have an idea of what to expect while we are there.
@wifeinraleigh28 the pumping info was very limited in our class. She did have a pump and showed us all the gadgets and how it worked... but it was a 15 min segment of a 3 hour class. Like pp said, your pumping schedule will be just like your feeding schedule at home.
One thing I found out that I did not know was that women with PCOS may have issues breastfeeding. They didn't go over in detail, just a passing statement... so of course I immediately went home and had a google freak-out session. Apparently the hormone imbalance that comes along w/ PCOS can affect the way the breasts were formed during puberty. Also the hormones can affect prolactin signals in your breasts after birth, causing you to not produce enough milk. WTF... I can't believe NO ONE has mentioned this to me. Not my RE or OB. No nurses. NO ONE. Feeling pretty devastated. WHAT ELSE can PCOS take away from me? Hasn't it done enough already?! Sorry for the rant... anyone else heard or worried about this??

To jump into this BFIng conversation... I don't want to add extra anxiety to those who are worried about this part, but I did have terrible trouble BFing DS1. As @babylonghorn16 mentioned, some IF conditions are associated with poor milk supply, and that is what happened to me. I don't have PCOS (we are unexplained IF), but my milk just never came in. I was devastated and completely caught off guard b/c I had no idea that was even a THING, let alone something common among women who go through IF! I could not understand why no one had mentioned this before. Leading up to giving birth, I was dead set on being an exclusive BF mom, and it is hard to even describe the stress, disappointment, and desperation I went through during that time. I tried EVERYTHING under the sun to increase my supply, was hooked up to a pump constantly, and was driving 45 min each way to go to BFing meetings and to see LCs several times a week, with a newborn while recovering from a pretty rough vaginal delivery. It was awful.
I kept trying for about 3 months, but my milk never increased. In retrospect, I wish I had quit sooner so that I could have spent more time bonding with DS instead of constantly pumping and fretting over my low supply (ordering crazy herbal concoctions, planning when to do a "power pump" each day, etc.). I only mention this b/c a) sometimes BF problems are not just "in your head," b) I wish that someone had warned me that this might be a problem ahead of time, and c) I wish that someone had told me "It's okay to stop BFing if it's not working - you are still a great mom if you give your baby formula!"
Other random advice: Pumping is really not that complicated once you do it a time or two - I was forced to become a pro pretty quickly! The worst part is washing all of the parts! Also, if you are going to pump at work, I HIGHLY recommend getting a pumping bra so that you can pump hands-free, allowing you to do other work while your pump does its thing.
TL;DR - IF can cause problems with breastfeeding and low supply - good to know ahead of time just in case. Don't be too hard on yourself if this happens to you.

Hi Ladies! I've been MIA working like crazy, so happy to only have 1 more week of work! I'm 36 weeks now and definitely not so comfortable anymore. My feet have ballooned and my BP is now borderline. That couples with the low fluid I had the first time around has my OB ordering 2x per week NSTs to make sure everything's ok. I would definitely rather me monitored too much than not all! I've also been having sporadic really mild contractions for about a week so my body is definitely getting ready.
As far as BF goes, I did nurse my first DS for about 4 months with some supplementing. You would think it would be this natural easy thing, but unfortunately it's just not. It turned out my DS had a lip tie that went undiagnosed by many lactation consultants until long after we stopped BF. Even with all that, I would say that it's absolutely worth it to try and know that the first 4-6 weeks is going to be difficult. If you can make it past that, things get so much easier! I stopped when I went back to work since I didn't want to spend all that time pumping to get half of what he needed. I definitely stressed myself out about supplementing and my son got so skinny (looking back at pictures). At the end of the day, remember it's about your child and making sure they are healthy and growing. There is no shame either way on the mother if you do what's right for the child.

@babylonghorn16 Sounds like it was a good class! I'm looking forward to mine, and actually all the classes we're taking sound really great. We're taking the BF class, bringing baby home, labor and birth education, and infant CPR. We got kind of excited when we were looking at all the classes that are offered!

@babylonghorn16 I feel you on the concern with PCOS and breast feeding ....I heard about this from a friend who is kind of a breast feeding crazy person (love her though) who when I mentioned my diagnosis said a lot of women on her online group with PCOS struggle....I think the advice our second time moms @Rachnan and @BlueEyedDreamer is great....I grew up on formula and have two degrees and am a veterinary specialist making a great salary, just saying it didn't stop me from succeeding in life and before infertility I have never been "sick" besides the occasional cold....if I can breast feed awesome if not then I will mourn it quickly and realize it's not the end of the world and feed my baby the best I can ☺

@babylonghorn16 I haven't heard about the difficulties in BF with PCOS, my sister has it and couldn't BF due to a latching problem. At one of my appt my midwife checked my breasts for any abnormalities and also had me try hand expressing to produce some milk (sorry if TMI) is there any way you can get checked out? Obviously you won't know about the hormone side of it until baby is here.
@BlueEyedDreamer congrats!!!
@Rachnan welcome back sorry to hear about your swelling and BP. Good luck with your last week of work!
@pdbird how are you feeling about the birth being so close?
AFM had my first birthing class this weekend. I'm trying the hypnobirthing method. I love that it's all about having a calm and positive birth experience and the teaching and relaxation methods just really sit well with my personality. Obviously I know I can't control everything but it's been really helpful

I am so excited today! We are at 30 weeks!!!!! I cannot believe we hit 30. I am in shock and feel truly blessed. We are celebrating today with my baby shower and if all is good I get to go home on Tuesday! (Lets hope these babies don't pull any mischief before 1:30 today). 7 1/2 weeks ago I thought I was going to have 22 week babies and was worried about their survival. That fear is now mostly to excitement and feeling so so blessed. I couldn't have made it to this point without all of you. You ladies have given me strength and courage I didnt know I had through your kind words and prayers. Thank you! Lets hope we make it a few more weeks on home bed rest but everyday is a miracle.

Anyone else noticing their exhaustion levels returning now in 3rd trimester? Exhaustion was my primary 1st trimester symptom and now it's back, stronger than ever.

@wifeinraleigh28 yes I have definitely noticed a drop in energy levels. I'm back to napping every now and then. Mostly I just try to take it easy and rest up when I can. Shortness of breath and braxton hicks thrown in the mix doesn't help either...
