In 2020 I became certified in pediatric sleep consulting and since then have worked with over 100 families walking them through the sleep training process.
I became a Love and Logic Parenting Facilitator, as well as an admin of a 15K member mom group dedicated to teaching baby routines and healthy sleep habits. The encouragement I received from my support system was invaluable.Īs baby #2 and 3 came quickly, I started enjoying honing my sleep training and parenting skills. There were still SO many kinks to work out but we were slowly making it through. Over the course of a couple of months we got the hang of daytime feedings as best as we could, he started ROCKING night time sleep (still does!), and I became more confident in this thing called motherhood. The feeling of a mother's love at JUST the right time really soothed and satisfied something in me. When she rang our bell and as I answered it I immediately melted in her arms and started crying. I remember our pastor's wife bringing us dinner when Aiden was two-weeks old. The first several weeks my husband and I were up for hours in the night trying to feed and get him back to sleep. Aiden struggled to latch properly to eat. I'm not trying to scare you! Honestly you just can never quite understand being a new parent until you start to experience it. When we brought this tiny newborn home, this manifestation of all the prayers, prophetic words, hopes and dreams, THEN the real chaos started. After a miscarriage, many months of fertility treatments, and hundred of negative pregnancy tests ( I was an obsessive "POAS-er") we finally accomplished the first hurdle of getting pregnant and the little bean sticking.
It was a rollercoaster ride full of emotions and I was begging to get off it and enjoy a peaceful float down the lazy river instead. The first roadblock was actually GETTING pregnant. It was always a desire of mine to start having children, stay home with them, and basically be Super Mom.
