Dear New Mom,

home insemination Kit

First off, congratulations on your new journey into motherhood! It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago, you left your home with a beautiful baby bump and returned with an even more beautiful little human in your arms. That tiny one is adorable! She’s got your eyes and your partner’s nose, and can we talk about those teeny ears? Seriously, who knew ears could be that small?

These past few weeks have likely felt like a blur. I hope your little one is feeding well and that you’re managing to snag some rest between all the chaos. Forget about the messy dishes, unread emails, or thank-you notes you haven’t written. Right now, your main focus should be on bonding, resting, and enjoying every moment with your precious baby.

But when you find a spare moment—between feedings, diaper changes, and late-night soothing—could you sneak in a shower? Don’t stress about shaving your legs or putting on makeup; just a good wash with soap and shampoo would do wonders! I mean, let’s be real—you might have a little something on your shoulder that looks suspiciously like spit-up from last night. And honestly, it’s probably not your baby that smells right now.

I get it; finding time is nearly impossible. The days just seem to fly by, and suddenly you’re still rocking those maternity leggings from the hospital. But you really need to carve out that time for yourself. If that means your partner takes a day off work, so be it! Or maybe you can reach out to a family member or friend—anyone who can hold that little one while you enjoy a few moments of self-care.

“But I can’t find the time!” I hear you saying as you replay the past few days. Trust me, I know it feels like there’s never enough time. But you have to make it happen. Whether it’s while your baby swings just outside the bathroom door or even when you should be napping, prioritize that shower. They say this baby phase goes by quickly, but it can feel endless—especially if you don’t start taking those minute breaks for yourself now.

So, start today. Make showering a daily ritual. You deserve it! You’re doing incredible things, nurturing that little life. Just don’t forget to carve out those minutes for yourself. You need to feel good and have a moment to relax. A quick shower is such a simple way to refresh yourself. And don’t forget to wash that crusty bit of hair—it definitely has some remnants of spit-up in it.
