Parenting: Surviving The First Year With Baby

mommy and baby

It’s a bit of a worn-out cliché to say that parenting is hard. Everybody knows that. You’ve probably spent 9 months thinking about all the tough things you’re going to have to learn or simply experience as a parent (obviously, the pregnancy itself is difficult but in a very different way). The point is that you don’t have to feel scared. No parent knows exactly what they’re doing, so you’re really not alone on this journey.

Of course, every child is different, but you can share this experience with other new parents, your partner, your family members, your friends, or any other people who want to help. Still, whatever your personal situation, this article might help to give you some advice on surviving the first year as a parent. That isn’t to say parenting is easy once your child grows up (most parents would say the opposite), but the first year is all about learning curves for the child and the parent.

 

Give your home a makeover

Whilst the design of your home’s interior doesn’t have to look any less aesthetically-pleasing, you’re going to have to accept that certain changes need to be made now that you’ve got a baby in the house. Sharp corners on tables are a big red flag, for example; you’ll need rubber protectors to protect your little one from hurting themselves once they start crawling around and especially when they start toddling in a year or two. Barrier gates on the stairs are very important too.

Of course, not all aspects of your home makeover have to be safety-related. Think about ways to make your household feel cozier. “Family-friendly” is the vibe you want. You could check out Krystil McDowall Photography to get some professional family photographs taken and hung up in the living room. Think of ways in which you could overall your home’s aesthetic so as to make it clear that this is now the home of a brand new addition to the family.

 

Keep your life organized

Maybe you’re quite a relaxed and spontaneous individual. You take each day as it comes, spending your free time as you wish. Unfortunately, babies don’t function quite as well on a “relaxed” schedule. As a parent, you really need to learn organizational skills if you want your baby and the family as a whole to have a happy life. Relaxation takes on a whole new meaning. It’ll be a relaxed evening if you manage to get the baby fed and in bed whilst also managing to feed yourself and your partner. You need to avoid panicking as a new parent and an organized schedule can help with this.

You should also use modern technology to your advantage. There are apps that can help you to be more organized, and artificial intelligence is helping to support parents through software that can monitor behavior and surroundings to make assessments based on your needs. A helping robot hand doesn’t hurt in this modern age. You need to embrace all the resources available to you as a parent because your mental health is very important; any help you receive will lessen the burden of your hectic schedule.

Looking at pictures of my last birth makes me grie Looking at pictures of my last birth makes me grieve my baby in Heaven that I just lost a few weeks ago. 

Knowing all the firsts we won’t be getting. All the newborn snuggles, that new baby smell, the joy of breastfeeding, it’s all gone. Slipped through my fingers in a moment, for no reason. 

No one thinks it will ever happen to them. Nothing prepares you for the loss of your child and no one can fully understand and appreciate the intense level of grief and pain until it happens to you. And if you do not understand this kind of grief, consider yourself very, very blessed and fortunate. 

Sometimes being open to life, also means being open to loss. 💔

A few weeks ago, we were planning to announce that baby #6 would be joining our crew in January 2023, but instead we've been processing the death of our beloved child... 

At our 20 week anatomy scan, when we were joyfully expecting to see what our little babe looked like, we were met the words that will haunt us forever - "We can't find a heartbeat."

Two days later, we found ourselves in a foreign environment, after 5 beautiful homebirths, naturally delivering our stillborn son in a hospital. 

Dylan Marinus Ballard was born on August 31st, (our first son's birthday) at 6:43pm and weighing only 7.5 oz. 

Tearfully and filled with grief beyond words, we had to say hello and goodbye at the same time. Our beautiful son. 

Seeing his face, holding his tiny body, and admiring his little toes that looked just like daddy's was just a glimpse into the miracle of life that God allows us to partake in. When you fully realize the sanctity of human life, it makes it even harder to say goodbye. Not being able to take my baby home with me was the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking pain imaginable. It is a pain unlike all others that only mothers who have lost a child can even begin to understand. 

The hardest part of losing a child, is living everyday afterwards. It's such a devastating loss, a loss so unimaginable, that you have no idea how you will get through each day or survive the grief that is in your heart. No matter what age a child is, a parent's heart is forever tied to that child and there's nothing that will break that tie, including the passing of time. That's the beauty of unconditional love. 

Our only consolation is knowing that our little saint is in the loving arms of Jesus now. We look forward to meeting him in Heaven someday.

Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean Don’t you just love it when the kitchen is clean?

It only lasts about 2 hours in this house so I gotta snap a pic before it gets messed up again! 🤪🤣

If you haven’t upgraded your kitchen (and your life) with @caraway_home cookware then you’re missing out on the best non stick non toxic cookware on the market. 

Get rid of your Teflon 🙅🏼‍♀️

Ditch the chemicals 🤢

Throw out the ugly 😵

Don’t wait any longer to elevate your cooking with the most talked about, most loved cookware the world has ever seen. 

This cookware set has sold out 10+ times (the limited-edition color for Crate & Barrel
sold out in under 5 hours!) and the bakeware has barely been in stock since its launch! (So glad I got mine December!)

Head to my stories for the link to grab a discount on these sensational pans! 💃🏼

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! 👇🏻

You know how they say “Earth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) 💦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.
