Ways to Prepare for Postpartum

Ways to prepare for postpartum

 

There are lots of things you can do while you are pregnant to prepare for postpartum. If this is your first baby or your 5th baby, then you will need to ease the transition home after birth. Some families have lots of help and family near by while others do not. Be sure to look on the bright side and be glad you have a new little bundle of joy to bring home. Do not be discouraged if people do not flock to help you (sometimes they do not want to intrude or are unsure of what really would be helpful!) ASK FOR HELP!

Meal Prep– depending on what season you are due would determine the types of meals you prepare. For a Summer birth, I would prepare freezer meals that would go into the crockpot so you are not heating up the house. Cooking a whole chicken and freezing smaller portions of shredded chicken could be useful for BBQ sandwiches, chicken enchiladas or quesadillas.

Nursing Bra Palooza

Nursing Bra Palooza

nursing Bra palooza

Milk & Baby are collecting gently used nursing bras and tanks to help those who could not otherwise afford them. Such an awesome idea. Do you know how many bras I have purchased that quickly did not fit for one reason or another? Way too many to count. I have given most of mine to a couple of friend’s in need. If I find anymore I will definitely be shipping them to Milk & Baby!

So dig in those drawers and maternity clothes bins ladies and get those bras sent off to someone who could use them!

Wacky Wednesday- USA State Quarters and USA Map

 Wacky Wednesday:

USA State Quarters and USA Map

wacky wednesday state quarters

What is Wacky Wednesday? Last year we created WACKY WEDNESDAY to help us get over hump day and try to remember to do something fun and unusual on Wednesdays. Not every Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday, but we try to do something a little crazy or nature-oriented.

This version of Wacky Wednesday we went a little crazy with state quarters, maps and puzzles! If the weather is cold outside and you need something fun to do inside try learning where the states are and their capitals by playing games and doing various activities.

I printed off a USA map and then the kids matched the quaters to the map. Once that was done we highlighted the states we had as we put the quarters away! This made it much easier to take a picture on our phones and when we ran into people who had quarters for us we could check to see if we still needed them. (Hint:Grandma’s have been the best resource so far. Followed by dad’s retail job:)
