I’m a Mom of two girls, and passionate about helping other women confidently embrace their calling of becoming “Mom”.

When I was a first time mom, like you, I wasn't sure where to start when it came to preparing for a baby. I did a lot of Googling and Pinteresting, took the free childbirth and breastfeeding classes through the hospital, and even bought extra classes to help me prepare for breastfeeding and caring for a newborn. Still, when postpartum came I was still left with a lot of "why did no one tell me this?!" questions.

I had a healthy pregnancy and easy delivery with my first daughter. Fast forward to 72 hours after she was born, I'm sitting in my nursing chair at home feeding my baby when I start feeling like I'm going to pass out and yell for help out of fear I was going to drop my baby. My husband, brother, and sister-in-law, who happened to be visiting at the time, rushed in and encouraged me to go to the ER. My blood pressure had sky rocked and I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia. Meanwhile, my milk came in.. with no baby to feed since she had stayed home with her Aunt and Uncle while I got evaluated. I called my sister-in-law to get my pump, still in the box. She washed and sterilized all the parts and drove my pump up to me in the ER where I sat and read the manual and Googled videos to try to learn how to use it.

I landed a ticket to readmission in the hospital where I continued to pump and eventually was rejoined with my new baby. The next few weeks were a wild ride trying to stabilize my blood pressure, manage my daughter's newborn jaundice, which was causing breastfeeding issues and rapid weight loss, deal with undiagnosed infant reflux, and learn all the new mom things like how to establish a routine with a newborn and how to organize and store breast milk, all while being extremely sleep deprived.
