    Rants/Raves: We’re traveling to visit our families this week which counts as a rant and a rave lol. It’s a 9 hour drive…my 1.5 year old isn’t going to be happy about that much time in the car seat (we’ll drive overnight, so he’ll sleep most of that time), But, it’ll be great to spend time with family we don’t get to see very often. 

    Questions: I started getting Braxton Hicks at 19 weeks which feels so early! Has anyone else gotten them early on in their pregnancies? 

    GTKY: what's your favorite life hack/pro tip/tiny change you've made that has greatly benefited you since you started using it? Showering my son with me instead of doing a separate bath for him has saved sooo much time. We have a large shower which allows him to walk around and play with his bath toys, he loves it!

  • @aarynl I started getting BH contractions at 21 weeks this pregnancy and it’s been super annoying. I know they’re normal but always feel a little on edge, just knowing how early we are!
