Day four of showing up and posting consistently — because this mama is saving up for maternity leave and extra baby girl snuggles 🍼💗👶 I kick off this morning’s vlog with a little rant: why is six weeks of maternity leave the norm in the U.S.? 🇺🇸 From what I’ve heard from other moms, it’s a total mixed bag — sometimes it’s paid, sometimes it’s not, and it just depends on your job. But six weeks?? That’s barely enough time to physically recover, let alone figure out how to be a mom and care for a newborn 😩🫠 I’d love to hear from you — what was your maternity leave experience like? Did you feel supported? Was it enough time? 💬✨ Let’s end this vlog on a brighter note, because I’m not trying to start your day with a rant! My Mother’s Day flowers are blooming like crazy 🌸🌷 and my strawberry plant is finally growing actual strawberries 🍓 — and they’ve totally been one of my biggest pregnancy cravings. Can’t wait to nibble on those! Have the best day, friends — sending love from this tired but excited mama 💖☀️🌱 MaternityLeave PregnancyVlog DayInTheLife PregnantAndTired BabyGirlOnTheWay MaternityJourney PregnancyCravings MotherhoodUnfiltered WorkingMama SixWeekLeaveIsNotEnough MomLife PregnancyThoughts GrowingBaby MamaInTheMaking VlogWithMe LTKBump LTKFamily LTKHome
