Morning routine 10 days postpartum as a mom of 6

Not shown was the 12:00pm crash where I became completely useless due to lack of sleep 🤪 That’s why Tim and I do what we can when the energy strikes us, and that’s usually in the morning 😘

But let me tell you, I was not this active 10 days postpartum with a newborn with my first!

Please remember this is my 6th kid in 8 years. Postpartum recovery has gotten easier for me each time. I heal quicker, I know what to expect, my husband and I have systems down now that we didnt have then, and I adjust much quicker.
Don’t compare your chapter 2 to someone’s chapter 10 ❤️

What do/did your mornings look like with a newborn?

I love the appreciation you show for your kids. Even though they live there too a little appreciation goes a long long way.

[CheapsKate]

It’s so amazing that your husband actually helps with the kids. I’ve never known a guy to do that. Well, not without yelling at them the entire time.

In actually in awe of how parents with so many kids handle it! I have a 2 year old and 4 month old and I feel like I’m drowning! You go mama (and dad) you are incredible.

The outdoor living space definitely makes postpartum easier ❤️🙏🏾

[melllyanna]

I love that you said there is actual no routine. ❤ at think definitely at newborn stage it’s just survival and snuggle mode. Getting to know your new baby and new routine. So many “internet moms” are unrealistic and then make us other moms feel “less-than”. Thank you for being real ❤

Babywearing for the win!! Always saves the day lol. I don’t even remember what the morning was like with a newborn, it was all a blur… probably very sleepy for everyone involved 😴 You’re looking amazing!!

Congratulations on the arrival of bub no.6
You make motherhood look effortless… I don’t know how on earth you manage 6, it’s hard enough with one

Thank you for saying not to compare... it's so hard as a first time mom because I feel like I learn a lot by watching other moms! I'm getting better at watching and learning but stopping myself before I get to the comparing. At 10 days postpartum I was still sleeping on the couch in the NICU with my baby girl, recovering from an unanticipated c-section and alone while my husband was handling things at home. I longed for a peaceful, postpartum bubble at home like your video portrays, but I'm learning to be truly grateful for the postpartum I got. My baby and I are both healthy and alive because of that c-section, and on the really rough nights I knew those angelic NICU nurses would be checking in every couple of hours to take care of my baby. It wasn't the birth or postpartum I had wanted but it was what we needed. ❤ I pray next time around I can have a VBAC and a peaceful recovery at home that looks a little more like yours. Congrats on your 6th little darling.
