How?!

How is anyone getting up, looking after baby, doing all the night feeds, managing to keep the house clean and still look presentable?! I feel like I’m really neglecting myself, barely even getting chance to have a glass of water and brush my teeth, let alone do some makeup and get dressed. Any tips would be much appreciated, my baby just doesn’t seem to want to get out of my arms

I’m really lucky that my husband takes the 10pm and 1am feed, and I do the 4am feed! I embrace walking around in my underwear when I’m at home and don’t plan on going out. Between naps I try and put him down and do a few little jobs, including self care. My husband resets downstairs either last thing or after dropping our toddler off at nursery before he starts work. We are trying to find our grove with the new addition but taking it slowly and trying now to put too much pressure on ourselves. I say this whilst nap trapped watching MAFS and I wouldn’t change that for the world x

Story of my life 😅 through a toddler in the mix who has his own needs and it's a never ending cycle of trying to prioritise the most important things first and say fuck it to the rest of it

Names to love like ‘Olive’

I love the name Olive but for various reasons can’t use it

Please help me come up with other suggestions, nothing else is comparing

4 weeks 5 days with my sixth baby ❤️

I have been having some cramps that feel a little sharper than usual. Sickness is pretty high, had bloods at hospital yesterday HCG levels are 758. No bleeding or anything. Boobs really hurt. I had a miscarriage in 2024 which was devastating and this is my first pregnancy since then and will be my last. I feel all alone with my thoughts that I will wake up and I will be bleeding 😔 I think though tonight I got my first dye stealer on a test 🤞
