Real Life Resolutions For 2016
Goal setting plays an important role in everyone’s life. Some goals are big, some small, some are short-term goals and others long. In the year following birth, especially if you have more than one child, you know that our priorities change in some way, shape, or form!
This blog is meant to be cute and inspiring!
Real Life Resolutions For 2016
Sleep, Like a Husband!
By “Sleep, Like a Husband/Partner” I mean once they hit that pillow it seems like they are out, like nothing could bring them out of that sleep doesn’t it?! I mean, in reality partners can be super supportive. Many partners do equal parts in caring for their babies as the other. So, in all fairness, “Sleep, Like a Husband” isn’t to say husbands don’t help at night, but rather, man, when our partners (mom or dad) hit the pillow and we are left still awake, it can seem unfair, especially when both parents may be a little sleep deprived!
First Coast Doulas offers overnight postpartum support so you and your partner can get the rest you both desire! It’s amazing what a solid night of sleep can do!
Ladies Night, With Actual Adults!
Let’s face it, gone are the days when on a whim you’d pick up and head out with your friends for a night of fun! Now it requires a little more planning and is anything but spontaneous with a baby or two to care for. Nothing says mom or dad more than leaving the house with spit up on your clothes and getting into a car with that contains a carseat or two, toys that call out as you go over a bump, and the possibility of a breast pad or two floating around in your back seat. Ask me how I know!
First Coast Doulas knows you crave me time, that’s why we have the Ladies Night In Package to bring the party to you! Not the same as going out, but less work on your part to have some fun with friends!
Use The Bathroom, ALONE!
Boy oh boy of all the things we never thought we would have to do, using the bathroom with an audience was probably one of them. As individuals without children we took for granted all those showers, bubble baths, and time for shaving didn’t we? I mean, sure we were warned about this bathroom stuff from friends, but wow! Well, rest assured these days are short in the big scheme of things, they will come and they will go and then you will look back and giggle!
First Coast Doulas postpartum doulas support can give you that time you need without onlookers! We can entertain your toddler while caring for your infant so you can close the door and go back to a time when using the bathroom alone was standard operating procedure (S.O.P)
Shower and Put Mascara on Both Eyes In The Same Day!
Maintaining a sense of you is important! As new parents we put our children’s needs before our own so much. Getting a shower and applying make up each day seem more like chores than a daily routine anymore, but it doesn’t have to be like that everyday!
First Coast Doulas wants you to look and feel your best! Let our postpartum doulas support your family just once, once a week, 7 days a week, or for set days every week for weeks or months!
Hire a postpartum doula for all of those resolutions and more, and beat the system!
Happy New Year from First Coast Doulas!
