Eve Taylor & Me

  • Easier

    6 weeks old It gets easier. Lol kk shut the fuck up. No but seriously. The late night wake ups, the crying in your ear, the exhaustion, etc. it gets easier. Well I’d if it’s easier to handle or it’s the new normal but it does settle with you better. Everyone getting into a routine… Read more

  • Exhausted

    5 weeks old Ya you heard me. I’m exhausted, exhausted of pumping and everything breast feeding.

Then Elvie is… Read more

    4 weeks old Dumb tits, pacifiers, nummy, binkie what ever you want to call them. I always had this illusion that they were bad? But duck, these MFs are exactly what my baby needs sometimes. Sooth to go to sleep? Give that girl her nummy she will be out. I think it was always hearing… Read more

  • Pause, stop, reset

    4 weeks old Let’s be serious, panic attack, losing your patience, frustration, sadness, overstimulated one of it or all of it is bound to happen. Hopefully just not all at once. As a girly pop that has experienced all of them and more I do a few things to reset. Honestly, it’s nbd to feel… Read more

  • Gift Trick

    4 weeks old Something I wish I did: You get so many gifts when pregnant and after pregnancy. So many that you forget what is from who, you remember some things but overall it blends. I wish I put a tag on all the clothes Eve got and said who gave it to us so… Read more

  • I’m not a Dad

    14 weeks old You read that right. I’m not a Dad, I am indeed a Mom. Shocker I know. In a world where inequalities exist and the majority of the time we hear too much of the male perspective, pregnancy and postpartum is rarely discussed from the male perspective. Now, I’m not going to talk… Read more

  • Self Conscious

    4 weeks old Being around other moms can be hard. Especially to an anxious girly pop. It makes me uncomfortable because I’m constantly wondering if they are judging me if I’m doing it right or wrong or if they are holding back unsolicited advice or if they do give advice. Then it even gets hard… Read more

  • Mom

    4 weeks old I anticipated being different, no doubt I am very different now, I mean I have a friggin baby for crying out loud. But I thought I would be a MOM ya know? lol Ya idk, I guess it is like being a kid and thinking adults are so old and they got… Read more

  • Mental Load / Anxiety

    4 weeks old “I need to pump in two hours” / “if I nap now I won’t have to nap later but my nap will run into when I need to pump” / “she’s slept for 5+ hours now should I wake her?” / “what if my supply drops?” / “if I don’t start sleep… Read more

  • Cabin Fever

    15 Days Old Leave the house. Leave the house with or without the baby. You won’t realize just how refreshing it is to leave the house until you do. Although you could get something delivered maybe just get your partner to watch the baby while you go out. Yes, the first time for me I… Read more

  • OWIE

    14 days old God damn. Just when pumping was on the up and up and I was feeling more confident about it all, I get a clogged duct. I learned the difference between clogged duct and engorged so that’s great – learning something new everyday. I put a cold compress on it after pumping and… Read more

  • My Body

    13 Days Old Never have I had a good relationship with my body. Always wishing something was different than what it was. The size, the texture, and appearance (eczema). So as one can imagine pregnancy was hard for me. Being the awkward size where I don’t think I looked pregnant, I just looked ‘large’. Then… Read more

  • Be an American

    11 Days Old lol it’s not what you think. Something that you might not realize is just how much you are walking and standing around your house.

  • Mom Group

    10 Days Old Get in a mom group. A mom group where everyone has a baby born within the same month. ‘How about my friends that have had babies’ ya sure that’s nice but lm talking about people in the trenches at the same time as you. The benefit of this is that everyone is… Read more

  • Being Realistic vs Optimistic

    8 days old It’s important to remember that even if there are really good days there will still be bad days. It’s not a reflection of you or your partner. It’s easy to put the blame on yourself when it comes to anything, but don’t sabotage yourself like that. Eve had been sleeping like a… Read more

  • Keep it up Girly Pop

    7 days old That’s it really. Keep up the good work. It might seem like you are coasting through it but you are doing great. In particular, breast feeding might seem like this daunting task that you’ll never be good at no matter how much you tell yourself that everything is fine at the beginning.… Read more

    6 Days Old Friday 8am, Eve pooped. Friday night no poop. Saturday morning, no poop. I was starting to worry. I was worried that we would have to bring her into the hospital – do I have anxiety? I knew that you could do exercises to help with farting soo, I just assumed that if… Read more

  • Being in the Right Mindset

    5 days old Strangely enough the one thing that I was never concerned about was labor. The one thing that pregnant and not pregnant people are scared and worried about. Trust me, it’s not because I’m not anxious, it’s not because I didn’t know how painful it was going to be. I knew all the… Read more

  • Ready for the Waterworks?

    Baby blues, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, the list goes on, we have heard of them but until you experience it you don’t really know what it means. Well, I found out this week what it means. You name it? I cried about it, or I’ve been anxious about it. Pregnancy hormones honestly had nothing on… Read more
