A cute bag set I used as my hospital bags i found on Amazon. These would also make for a great gift because of the personal first letter embroidery.

I used these two along with a small rolling suitcase where I packed larger items like my pillow and a few other things. 🤭

Everything I packed in my hospital bag for my second cesarean birth. 🏥

Things I forgot to mention:
- A heating pad ( I also loved using hot and cold packs on the go provided by the hospital, but when laying down the heating pad was the BEST.)
- A going home outfit for me
- My hair bonnet
- 2-3 outfits for baby
- A comfortable lounging robe
- Customized swaddle for newborn photos
- My hospital provided an anti bacterial body wash for my incision.
- Brought my own pillow for additional comfort 🙌🏽

Not even going to sugar coat it. 😅
This is my experience as a 2x c section mom so far and I know that everyone’s is different. My c-section operation was a breeze, but like any major surgery, recovery can be a journey. Feel free to share your experience in the comments in a helpful way. Thankfully, all of this gave me my baby, so yes, it was worth it and I would do it again 😩

A few other things I thought of:
📌 Along with the momentary nausea and vomiting, my whole body was itchy off and on for some hours. Something I think is a side effect from the epidural medication 🤔
📌 The itching sensation where the incision was made was something else. I read that it comes when an area is healing after surgery.
📌 I believe that with both vaginal and c-section, you can expect uterine bleeding for weeks after delivery.
📌 I was in and out of sleep for a large majority of day 1 and would literally fall asleep mid convo 🤣
📌The stitches were taken out after two weeks at my OB visit and the site healed really well.
📌 Expect some swelling in the face, legs and body.

Drop any questions you have for me below and praying you have a smooth c section and recovery. ❤️

Breastfeeding/pumping find for storing breastmilk and remembering the to freeze or use it before expiration. These are some essentials really come in handy on the journey.

Breastfeeding/ pumping finds and essentials. 🙌🏽🍼

Personal review:
- Learning curve when assembling but not too complicated
- The output of milk expressed is really good
- It is on the pricier end if not covered by insurance
- Easy to use and the noise isn’t too obnoxious, but still has a sound.
- I wish the pouring spout was better shaped so it wouldn’t feel like a risk each time.
Check with your insurance provider to see if it is covered and you can get it fully paid for.

I will cherish these newborn hospital photos forever. How cute are me and baby girl’s matching sets from posh peanut? Literally in love with them and they are so soft. Customized swaddle/blanket is also buttery soft and from Caden Lane.

Doing some Dilly Dallying in Dallas, Tx today and stopped by the Bush Center to checkout out the Laura W. Bush Native Texas Park. I wore this cute dress and sweater from ASOS paired with these H&M flats. Perfect for transitioning the closet from a summer to fall feel and also very versatile.
While the park is always FREE to visit, make sure to check out the Bush Museum on 11/11 for free admission happening from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.#ad @bushcenter

#ad Toddlers can really be a wildcard sometimes 😅

Packing SEVERAL snacks/potential food items along with an on the go drink like Enfagrow NeuroPro Toddler Nutritional Drink is always a win! I love carrying these around because they are lightweight and my toddler loves them. When it comes to long car rides or attending events, do you ever pack extra snacks or food just incase? 👀 To try these drinks out with your little, links to this drink are up on my stories and on my @shopltk .✨#liketkit

#ad As parents, we’re always looking for nutritional products that our toddler can enjoy alongside the meals he already loves. We recently tried Enfagrow NeuroPro Toddler Nutritional Drinks, and of course, my little one had to give it the ultimate taste test. If he doesn’t like something, trust me, you’ll know. But this one? Total win! I love that we can easily add it to his routine while making sure he’s getting extra vitamins and nutrients. 💛

One month closer to meeting our little one. 🗓️🥹👶🏽

I have no clue where the year went but friends, it clearly had somewhere to be. 😂 Anyone else feels like the year just flew on by?

Also, every time I mention how far along I am, people are usually shocked or say they couldn’t even tell I’m pregnant. I’ve made peace with the fact that my belly never grows super huge. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Shi was the same way, but who knows… maybe the bump will pop closer to the end? 🤪 Either way, I’m more than content with the size 🤭

It’s finally cooling down a bit in Dallas, so I’m pulling out all my fall-feeling looks these days 🍂 One including my fave comfortable western boots and this two toned dress. For a DM with links to this outfit, comment LINK and I’ll have it sent over!
