Throwback to 39 weeks with Nora. I’m almost 16 w

Throwback to 39 weeks with Nora. I’m almost 16 weeks in this last pregnancy and feel this big already 😂 Anyone else feeling the same? But I’m actually at that fun stage of pregnancy where it looks like you may have a beer belly because the pregnancy belly isn’t quite there. You know, when the awkwardness level reminds you of middle school/junior high 😅.

We hold a lot of expectations as parents. We don’t mean to... but it happens ... starting in pregnancy (what the birth will be like, what baby will be like, the gender). One of mine that I didn’t realize was one until we opened up this cute little picnic set from our @lovevery Kit was that I would get to sit and have pretend tea and picnic with my kids. I love doing stuff like this and I’m grateful each one has wanted these memories too. Cheers! #loveverypartner

I don’t put a spotlight on my 4-YO being on the

I don’t put a spotlight on my 4-YO being on the spectrum because I see him as another 4-YO and strongly believe that all kids are different and unique individuals with their own way of thinking and doing things. But, he can be very different sometimes, and then I have to explain why. And once people hear he is on the spectrum they assume he acts a certain way, reacts a certain way, IS whatever they’ve seen on Google about Autism or like whoever they’ve seen before. It never fails, whether it’s an expert, family member or stranger... so I remind people he is a unique person- he is not that kid or this one, he is not what you read about. All of the books and research, etc. are still helpful because like with any kid in a certain age range or with a commonality, there are many things that resonate across the board, but the assumption of knowing who he is or how he will be before meeting him and learning who he is? That’s ignorant. If there’s one thing I’d like to share today to start off #worldautismawarenessday, it’s that. Dig deep for empathy. Check your assumptions. We all have them about one thing or another and it’s through open-minded learning that they evolve. ❤️

One of the first things I cover when taking about postpartum with expecting families is preparing the postpartum bathroom. Yours might have a mini fridge (or maybe it’s by your bed), or simply a basin full of all your supplies.

If you’re looking for the short list of what you’ll need, check it out, here: https://www.navigatingparenthood.com/postpartum-bathroom/

Did you/do you have a doula? It’s World Doula We

Did you/do you have a doula? It’s World Doula Week 🎉 So I’m taking a minute for a re-introduction. Hi! I’m Shari, a semi-crunchy mom of soon to be 5 kids ranging in age from 14 to one due 9/2021, content creator, lactation educator counselor, infant massage instructor, mother warmer, and postpartum educator & doula. I’m planning to balance my tip sharing with the general parent life things I normally post to make this space one of support and resources too.

It took her a good 10 minutes to figure this out and she still thought it was a joke. Older brother still didn’t get it u til we brought it up the next day 😂 Sometimes when you say you’re done having kids, people believe you. We’ll see if the littles “get it” before mystery baby’s arrival in September.

Double tap if you can't do anything without multi-

Double tap if you can't do anything without multi-tasking. #SmartyPartner I'm always multi-tasking — whether it's working on my laptop while the kids climb over me or remembering to take my women’s multivitamins while entertaining my toddler. There's never a dull moment in motherhood. @smartypants has been my go-to multivitamin gummy for years because it's delicious but packed with 15 premium nutrients like omega-3 EPA and DHA, vitamin D3 for bones, vitamin B12 for energy, vitamins C and D for immunity, and so much more! Basically, everything I need to keep up with my wild kiddos without the junk like artificial sweeteners, flavors, and preservatives that I don't want in my vitamins. And I can get my bottle with my Target Drive-Up orders! (AD) Learn more about @smartypants vitamins at http://gofyi.ly/2AAFF372

Have your littles seen a chiropractor before? @drk

Have your littles seen a chiropractor before? @drkatewong has been doing house visits with us to adjust my two youngest littles for nearly a month now and it’s so fun to see how River sits and points to his back fro her to look over his spine. Then he pretends he’s a doctor with her equipment while she checks Nora (who is usually bouncing around and jumping with glee). They’re so comfortable! The adjustments are definitely not what I expected so I thought I’d share what it’s like during our visit tomorrow morning during an IG LIVE! Join me at 9:30 PST to see what an in-home chiro visit can be like and ask any questions about pediatric chiro or chiropractic care for TTC, expecring, pregnant, and postpartum mamas.
