Last night, was the scariest night for us as paren

Last night, was the scariest night for us as parents. Yesterday, was perfect ip until about 7pm when bubby was chocking on his saliva, I mean real deal chocking turning purple. I’ve taken CPR classes so I did everything I could, & he calmed down for about 15-20 mins before it happened again. We rushed him to the ER where it happened again. Everything they checked and listed for looked/sounded clear including X-rays.

After all the checking everything, we found out his adenoids were swollen blocking his airway so he couldn’t get anything down & every time he tried, he chocked. They gave him a steroid shot & liquid steroid for the next 5 days. He’s doing a lot better today, but y’all pray for him & our parenting hearts cause 2022 is trying it.

Birth Control? Let’s talk about it! I’ve recently started using @naturalcycles and I am absolutely in love with it! It allows me to be in tune with my natural body since it’s able to prevent pregnancy without any hormones. It works by using my basal body temperature (I take my temperature in the morning) and the app’s algorithm uses that to determine my unique fertility status for that day. It tells me if it's a Green Day (not fertile) or a Red Day (fertile day aka need to use protection or abstain)!

As women, it's so important that we understand all of our options for birth control and if you’re looking for a more natural approach, I definitely recommend checking NC out. And what’s also cool is that it can be used to prevent pregnancy or to actually plan pregnancy faster.

Parenting comes with challenges and no manual to h

Parenting comes with challenges and no manual to help, so often times we are on our own when it comes to figuring it out. Recently we welcomed Bubby into the family & after two years of being the youngest, sissy, became a big sister and that came with some attitude/ behaviors we weren’t really used to from her. Adjustments have had to be made & I recently started participating in the @parentlab Discipline Starts With Empathy program!

In the program I’ve learned:
- how to not respond emotionally, to defuse the control of power she’s requesting when having a meltdown.
- Recognize her emotions as an opportunity for intimacy and teaching
- Help her verbalize her emotions.
- How to connect, redirect & name to tame it: meaning give her a hug, and get on eye level (connect). Talk about what’s happening (redirect). discuss and identify the emotion (name to tame it).

Parenting is hard, but there are ways we can lessen the obstacles ❤ What are some ways you try to disciple with empathy? #workingwithparentlab

Doesn’t feel like it because it’s 80 degrees in south Florida and you can still go to the beach any day of the week 😭 Is it cold where you’re from? If it is, I’m jealous 😩
