You may have noticed a lack of posting on my page lately, in fact for about 10 months now…. And that’s because I have taken some time away while I had my third baby!! Baby Rose was born at home in a room FULL of love. My other two kids, as well as my husband, my mom, my two doulas (also my wonderful friends) and my amazing midwife and assistant were all able to be there!! It was my most painful birth of my three, but I am so proud of it and feeling so strong and confident in my body’s abilities!! My body is so strong!!

I do know that I could have shared details about my pregnancy and that everyone be would have been wonderful and supportive, but i decided to keep this pregnancy private and not post about it. I trust that everyone can understand that! ❤️

I try not to post pictures of my kid’s faces on Facebook, but I make an exception each time a baby is born just to put out one or two of the baby and announce it. My wonderful photographer got some beautiful pictures that capture the moments without faces too!!

How far baby formula has come!! If you choose not to breastfeed, or are not able to for reasons outside of your control, rest assured that formula has progressed tremendously since it began.
*Reminder: please be kind in the comments, as there are many who were given a formula like this as a baby, or used it for their babies at a time when it was recommended! Everyone is and was doing what they think/learn is best for their own family!*

This came out of the pages of a 1946 Cookbook. I remember my mom making this formula for my younger brother when I was a grade schooler. Inside the pamphlet it gives instructions on how to make the formula. One of the first things it says to do is put on a clean apron.

Join us for our online Black Moms in Loss Support group ❤️

The Black Moms in Loss Support Group provides connections for individuals that identify as Black mothers grieving the loss of a pregnancy or infant. This group intends to help bereaved mothers find support and provide helpful information to help them navigate the pain of their loss. Losing a baby can be a lonely experience. PSI understands creating a safe space for Black moms is essential as they encounter unique experiences in miscarriage, infant loss, and infertility. We empower help seekers to share their journey to inspire others or utilize the group setting as an avenue for healing and hope. We are here to help, and you are not alone.
