I’m going to start out by saying that pumping at work sucks. Pumping anywhere sucks. I know I’d much rather be at home with my sweet baby and nursing him rather than have to hook myself up to a machine. But sometimes you just have to suck it up and pump. Between pumping at work for both of my kids, I have found a few things that make life so much easier. Here are my tips for pumping at work including why I think everyone should buy Freemie Collection Cups to make pumping so much easier.

Very soon (hopefully sooner rather than later!) I will have given birth to two babies in less than three years. After I had my daughter, I kind of got back to exercising and eating right, but it was hard knowing we wanted children that were pretty close in age. What was the use of getting back in shape just to get pregnant again?
But after this second baby, we are probably complete as a family. (I mean, I’d never rule out another kid completely, but two might be right for us.) So after this labor and delivery, I am so excited to get my body back.
Getting my body back doesn’t mean getting super skinny or going gung-ho to get fit ASAP. It just means making myself and my health a priority and focusing on making forward progress to be strong and healthy. After having your body house a baby for nine months, it is nice to feel in control of it again. This time around, I put together a postpartum exercise kit so I am ready to move towards my goal of being healthy once I am cleared to exercise.

When I first got pregnant, I had a small sense of how labor and delivery would go. I had read some books and talked to some friends about their experiences. But one thing that kind of blindsided me was postpartum recovery. Thankfully the friends had clued me in on what recovery would be like because otherwise I would have no idea! No one seems to talk about postpartum recovery. But here are some tips about making postpartum recovery better. And yes, it is normal to feel like your guts are falling out of your body. (Make sure you also check out my tips that all pregnant ladies should read.)
I talk a little bit more about these and other tips in an episode of my Quirky Parenting podcast with my husband. You can listen online or you can download it from the iTunes store.
