🤖 going through my own health (post-surgery) struggles atm. Hang in there! Good to see you again.

🤖 I was just trying to set up some bullet journal spreads with your video and knocked over a container filled with old paint water that has been sitting there for over a week and got it all over everything I had out on my desk! So I'm feeling like an idiot, but it was nice to join you on your day while I frantically cleaned and tried to dry everything. Pro tip--don't leave old paint water on your desk. Ever.

Besides tracking milestones you could track feedings whether it's breastfeeding or bottlefeeding. My boys wanted nothing to do with breastfeeding, but I did track when I had to feed and how much that way I knew when he cried if he was hungry or maybe he needed a diaper change or in some instances he wanted some extra time with mommy. You will do fine and you have loved ones that will be able to guide you and you also have a community on here that can help. Since you're having a boy, and forgive me as I don't know where to buy this certain item it was given to me by my cousin, but you definitely want to get a pee cover (that's what I call it). It's a small clothlike item that you put on the penis when you change the baby's diaper so he doesn't pee on you. You wouldn't need it all the time, but I learned that when a baby's penis is erect it means he has to pee...lol...my ex-husband got peed on a lot. It's something to think about. Congratulations on becoming a mom and having the toughest but most rewarding job. I will say, prepare for the outgrowing of clothes quick once they start school...lol...my boys are trees and every year it's pants and shoes (especially shoes) for school. My boys will be 9 and 13 in the fall months and they're 4'6" and 5'6" and a half...lol... I'm only 5"3' and they actually get their tall genes from me from my dad's side. 😄 Enjoy them because before you know it they will be old enough to drive a car. I will say this I will miss trick or traleat once the biys get too old, I love it so much because it is my favorite holiday, but love what the kids come up with on what they want to be.

My August theme was light blue 💙🩵💙

The main thing I tracked after my son was born (besides milestones) was breastfeeding. What time & which boob was used so I knew which one for the next feeding, lol. Some friends I know put a hairband around their wrist to remember which side to start with. 💙 💤 Sleep when the baby sleeps!!

You can do this girl! It’ll be worth once all the renovations are done ! Speaking from experience even if it’s not on you, renos always get delayed 😅

🦋🧢🪼🥶

It might be “cheesy” but hearing to plan for the life you want is a very timely reminder for me! Thank you for sharing all these thoughts. I don’t want my current situation to get in the way of where I want to go and paring things back is something I need to practice doing because life is more fulfilling when it’s focused on what you actually value. I’ve found it very freeing to have a smaller task list bc it gives me time to actually do the things I used to keep delaying (exercise, organizing new apartment, creative endeavours) for tasks I “had” to do Also I agree with you girl I hate cleaning the washroom 😭 When i have no energy i limit myself to 2 cleaning tasks a week and survive 🎈

Where do you put the word in stencil? Which one would you put it under ar the end to cut it!

I love how you have done this! I've been trying to stick to quarterly goals but I'm realizing that it's not working. Definitely going to try doing it this way!

Just wanted to say you look amazing! I'm so damn happy for you and you really look the happiest I've ever seen! Also wanted to say not to stress too much about your baby needing a room right now. Keep him close for as long as you can :)

Really enjoyed this video and it’s making me reflect on my life and planning for how I want it to be 🎈❤

🎈 Thanks for sharing your insights with us, Erin! 😄💜

Glad life is treating you well! 🎈

🎈🎈🎈

It's a boy! Yay! I had my son in a bassinet next to our bed for about 4 or 5 months. So much easier for nighttime feedings. So maybe you will have a little more time to get that nursery done. 🎈🎈🎈

I am working on throwing lots of trash so I can hire someone to clean my flat. Sweet Jesus, _it feels good_ to do this!

I love the spreads for your GD! I have reactive hypoglycemia (which means I make too much insulin, which causes rapid drops and spikes), but I don't see too many blood sugar spreads that don't involve insulin intake tracking. I'm also a very visual person so yeah! <3

love the first one. i did something like that for my GD.

Awesome thanks for showing me

Second trimester-Yay! this is the best time. So happy for you and your partner. 🌸🌺

❤

Erin hello…just reaching out to you to ask if you have any information about Cindy Guerento -Baldo or maybe know how to find out if she is well…don’t think anyone has heard from her since March

This was fun.

Cozy sweaters…..still my favorite. I remember ordering multiples of that kit. And the pride one. I still have leftovers.

Binx video was one of the best Bujo videos I've seen in a long time!

Ahh thank you so very much for the shoutout 🥰 so pleased you found a bit of inspiration, looking forward to watching your bujo evolution!😊

I hope you enjoy ACOTAR!! I used to be much more of an ebook person but now it’s like I have guilt for “just” sitting and reading bc audiobooks allow you to multitask. So now it’s almost all audiobooks - luckily I’ve been lucky with the voice actors!

I have a travel diary I used for my honeymoon trip (16 years ago), now I want to redo the whole thing! Add the shiny bits. Because I am a magpie.😆 I hope your diabetes journey is going alright. I know it sucks to have to curb your diet. Having a nutrition background helped me quite a bit when my son was diagnosed with Type 1. Two things I always remember is fat extends carb absorption,(pizza will spike 4-5 hours later) and fiber slows it. My son's fav snacks are popcorn, Quest chips, strawberries, Chomps beef sticks and string cheese. Sending good mojo to you!

That ramen and sushi washi tape is so stinkin cute!

🎃📙🎃📙🎃

I definitely agree that trying to “come up with” goals for each area has not been working for me, I have to start focusing on it one at a time. This kind of layout is flexible but still functional!

This journal is beautiful and you are so creative with the use of washi tape and page spreads. Well done and congratulations!

🍊 no lesson plans

🎃🍊 so excited for you guys. But July I am looking forward to my sisters wedding

🍊 I'm looking forward to summer ending. I hate the heat

I had gestational diabetes with both my boys. The reason I had it was because I was born with gastroparesis, which means I digest everything slower than everyone else, so being pregnant slowed it more down making my pancreas work harder. Diabetes runs in my family and was later diagnosed with type 2 in December 2021. However, I attribute that diagnosis due to getting COVID in late January to early February 2020. Just be mindful that you could develop diabetes later on in life due to having gestational diabetes, but you may never get it. It's rough now, but you and baby will be fine. Congratulations on your little one on the way, it's a beautiful experience, I miss the kicking. 😊🩷🩷🩷

Looking forward to fireworks!🎇🍊

I am looking forward to a couple of trips in July- Philadelphia and Denver. 🍊

🔶

🍊🍊🍊Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I live in south hemisphere, so I'm really excited because I'm going to be able to take 2 weeks off, for my son's winter holiday. ☔

I am looking forward to a camping trip at the river. 🧡 My son is T1 and we have gotten so good at looking at something and guessing the carbs, take the fat into account and if there is any fiber. My nutrition background sure came in handy. Good luck to you on this amazing journey!

Still so excited for you and your hubby. 🍊

Thank you so much for this. I can't even tell you how frustrating it has been trying to get my pens working.

Thank you for sharing your journey and congratulations on your pregnancy!! So many people in my life are affected by PCOS, and I love having more information so that I'm able to connect with them more!

Thanks so much for being willing to share your journey with us ❤ I hope all the stages to come go smoothly and stress-free ! And yess girl women have an uphill battle to figure out anything 😫

I wondered if you would come back from your social media break with news of a little one... Congratulations! ❤

PCOS buddies 😝 Congrats to both of you for your smol person 💜 and thanks for sharing your journey. As you said, this kind of stuff doesn't get spoken about widely, so it's nice to have out there as a reference for people 😊
