Dear New Mom,

home insemination Kit

Congratulations on your new adventure into motherhood! Just a few weeks ago, you walked out of your home with a beautiful baby bump and returned with a precious little one in your arms. Your baby is absolutely adorable! She has your eyes, her dad’s nose, and those tiny, tiny ears—seriously, who knew ears could be that small?

These past weeks have likely been a blur, and I sincerely hope your little one is feeding well and that you’re managing to catch a bit of rest. Don’t stress over the messy house, the unanswered emails, or the thank-you notes you haven’t written yet. Right now, your focus should be on resting, snuggling, and getting to know that delightful little bundle you’ll love forever.

Finding Time for Yourself

When you get a moment—between feedings, diaper changes, and soothing—could you possibly squeeze in a quick shower? It doesn’t have to be anything fancy! Forget about shaving your legs or putting on makeup. Just a simple shower with soap and shampoo would do wonders. I mean, let’s be honest, you might have a little something on your shoulder that isn’t baby drool, and it’s time to freshen up!

I totally understand that finding a minute is easier said than done. You might feel like the days are slipping away, and you’re still in those comfy maternity leggings. But you need to carve out some time for yourself. Whether that means getting your partner to take a day off work or reaching out to a friend or family member, someone should hold the baby while you indulge in some much-needed self-care.

“But there’s just no time!” you might be exclaiming as you think back on the hectic days. I get it! But you must make time, because no one else will do it for you. Make it happen while your baby is happily swinging just outside the bathroom or even during one of those rare moments when you could be sleeping. It’s essential to prioritize these moments for yourself, especially since babyhood can feel long but passes quickly.

Make Self-Care a Priority

Start today, and keep making time for yourself each day after that. You’re doing incredible work, nurturing and caring for your little one! Keep feeding, changing, bathing, and loving her fiercely, but don’t forget to take care of you too. A shower can be refreshing, and a little self-indulgence is vital. Remember, dry shampoo and a spritz of Febreze will only take you so far, and you deserve to feel good!

So go ahead, make that time for a shower today—don’t forget to rinse out that crusty tip of your hair; it probably has some baby spit-up in it!
