3 things: What I am loving right now #1 || The Cuddle Blog

August 31, 2017
Here are a list of 3 things that I am loving right now.


  1. Sleep Suits: I absolutely love sleep suits because, Laziness and less laundry. Sleep suit is just one piece of cloth but if I have to dress normally for him I would have at least 3-4 piece of clothing on him. Onesie, trousers, top and socks as against just this one item - Bliss! But unfortunately, I can't fill his wardrobe with sleep suits - Ish

  2. Coconut Oil: I absolutely love the smell and the benefits of using coconut oil on his hair but much more than that, I loveeeee when someone smells it on him and I'm just there feeling a super mama using all natural products for her baby. Hey!! Look at me!!!! I'm making all the right decisions.
  3. Shea Butter: I love how it has multiple functions, he had a bit of rash and i used the shea butter, I use it for his hair, I use it for my own skin, I don't need another daiper cream. I mean, if your relationship is broken just put some shea butter on it. 

What are the things you are loving right now?

3 things: New Born Essential 0-3 months || The Cuddle Blog

August 24, 2017
I know that there are many other things you need at this stage but I am tagging this "Essential" because somethings are more crucial than other things. In the first 3 months of your babys life I call it "Survival mode" most especially if you are a first time mum- because you are just getting starting this new experience and adjusting your life to accommodate a new baby and it is never easy. Here are 3 things that I think are essential to making it a lot more easier.


  1. Nursing Pillow; It's just amazing the difference this pillow makes when you are trying to breastfeed. When you are a sleep deprived new mother with a baby trying to get the hang of breastfeeding and wanting to feed all the time this is a life saver, the support. Oh the support. Your arms will thank you. 
  2. Burb Cloth: Spit Up is REAL and boy is it disgusting!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my baby but that love doesn't extend to what comes out of his mouth.
    You will need the burb cloths, it will save you many times. Have it handy and have a backup for the backup! Thank me later.
  3. Baby Pain reliever: I think the pain reliever is essential because your baby will be taking immunisation injections back to back in the first 3 months and they get so cranky afterwards from the pain. Not a pretty sight.
     Having the pain reliever handy even before you go for the injections go a long way for them. 

What else do you think is a New born essential?

Pregnancy Diary 4: 3rd Trimester || The Cuddle Blog

"Feb 9th, 2017 - 33 Weeks 

Wow, it's just amazing how it felt so far but right not, it's here. We have just 7 weeks to go and honestly, it's getting more difficult by the day as everywhere hurts. Lower abdomen, tight tummy, really everything... walking, bending... SIGH

I'm just trying to keep  a positive outlook and attitude towards everything. The last doctors appointment was indicating that you are not in the right position yet, so I have been bouncing on the birthing ball and rolling on it as I hear it help encourage babies to turn. I am trusting God that it will all workout. I will know by next week"

Strength
I wonder what makes strength
is it the energy?
the emotion?
or just the ability to do what I don't feel like doing? 
or is there more? 

 5
Bent 
This has got me bending 
bending over backwards
Things I never felt
Emotions I've only read
and I won't have it any other way
because it births you.

length, 126.
For now, 
For tomorrow. 
For now, because there is so much 
bending I can take. 
for tomorrow, because there is so much
more to look forward to.
You. "
