Using my last few minutes of May the 4th to give you one of my favorite mom hacks just in time for Mother’s Day. 🎉

Enter the !! This magical hip seat has made it with me from baby #1 through baby #2 and I still use it even now for both of them. And as a pelvic PT I will always advocate for a hip seat because it can absolutely save your back (and ultimately your pelvic floor).

It is amazing for kiddos that want to go up and down or don’t want to be constrained in a wrap or structured carrier (hello Emery).

But that’s not even the hack!

I did NOT know this when Owen was a baby until our nursing journey was almost to an end, but you can totally use the as a nursing “pillow”!!! It will only support so much of you or baby but it is a lifesaver on the go.

You can support your own arm or baby on it and it makes it so much easier to nurse in the car or in a tight space like the rocking chair in the pictures. And that can save your wrists, thumbs, shoulders and neck. 😮‍💨

If you want to try one out or get one for a mom who deserves a break, make sure to use my affiliate code THEDIYDOCTOR for 31% this week or 35% off next weekend for Mother’s Day!

And just so you know, I am very selective with the products I endorse—I have used the exact one in the picture for the last 3 years and it still works and looks as good as new. ✨

Two months of Emery! We are loving his gummy smiles. 🥹 He still loves warmth and snuggles, loves a good sound machine and chill music, and his smiles pop out the most when you jiggle his little hands. Big brother can get some good burps out of him and still comes in hot with those hugs and forehead kisses. 🤣

This month, his tummy has not been tea-rrific as you can see in the last photo. Needing to 💨 or 💩 is often the last straw before he throws an absolute fett. 🥵

This month has been tough once again because of water damage and mold issues in our house, much like when we had Owen but thankfully we didn’t have to move out! I guess this is just how we welcome our kids into the word. 😅

We are so grateful for the love and support that God has provided through a difficult time especially from friends and family to help us through, and we are doing our best to trust Him through the process since it’s not over yet.

One month of Emery! So far he is pretty chill even when getting aggressively hugged and kissed by big brother Owen. He does lose his cool mostly when he is hangry or gassy. 💨

He Siriusly loves warm blankets, tight swaddles, snuggles, and when you sing to him or play lullabies. He entered the world a little Harry-er than Owen did, with one tuft of hair in the back that still sticks straight up. 🥹

Don’t get me Ron, as magical as it has been there have been some difficult aspects. Mom is still recovering from his birth and nursing has been tough. He had a tongue tie that got released (thanks ) but caused some riddikulus nursing pain and mastitis. 🥵 And the potion to cure the mastitis made him pretty backed up and uncomfortable. 🥺

Overall though we find him pretty enchanting. On a scale of 1-10, we’d give him 9 3/4. ⚡️

The child has arrived!

Emery Simeon Thompson, born 4/19/24, 7lbs 12oz 🥰

Wild birth story still to come but everyone is happy and healthy!

Our little family has taken on a lot with a traumatic birth experience, a rough breastfeeding journey thanks to oral ties, eczema, food allergies, illness upon illness and never ending sleep deprivation. Then water damage and mold forced us to move out of our home for months with a difficult transition back. We are still not even through it all.

I have struggled a lot with God about why it’s Just. Hard. All. The. Time.

This year may have brought us over to the dark side for a bit but I foresee a new hope coming. On a day all about love I am choosing to trust that God knows what He is doing no matter what, and most of all that He still loves us SO MUCH.

I am also so thankful for for being a phenomenal husband and dad. It’s been super hard but I’m so grateful we get to journey together.

Owen, my sweet cuddle monster, petri dish 🧫, and baby Hufflepuff—thanks for being such a champ even when your cheeks are bleeding and raw from eczema or you are sick with the billionth disease. You are

PS now you guys know why I stopped posting for a while. 😅

PPS I will still post the rest of his monthly photos because I took them but never posted! 🤣

PPSS The neat little hip seat I am wearing in the photo is the BEST INVENTION EVER. The one I have is from .

Owen is 7 months old!

He is the official owner of two bottom teeth with more on the Wayne! Those little gums have been the Bane of our existence. They just keep Robin us all of a good nights sleep which definitely makes it tough two-face the day. 😅

He is officially eating solid foods and absolutely loves it! He’s had all kinds of food including banananananananas 🍌

Unfortunately all the solids makes going to the batroom involve quite a few more grunts and smells. 🥵 💩

We are excited to have Gotham his very own (pictured!) so now he can roll around screeching to his hearts content and hopefully get ready to crawl soon! 😫😅

We love you Owen!

Owen is 2 months old! He is a little Toph guy that doesn’t get Aangry too often unless he is hungry.

Iroh know why, but he loves shelves. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When he looks Appa at one particular shelf in our house he thinks it is hilarious.

He’s continuing to master his swaddle escape skills and his kicking abilities make us think he will become an excellent Sokka player. ⚽️

Why yes, I’ve waited my whole life to have the opportunity to perfectly cosplay fat Thor at my baby shower/Halloween costume party. 🔨⚡️

One of my absolute favorite quotes of all time from Thor’s mom, Fr**ga.

“Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are.”

Real talk (with fat Thor? Seriously?) Just hear me out!
