Ten little fingers, ten little toes, Two little ea

Ten little fingers, ten little toes, Two little ears and one little nose, Two little eyes that shine so bright And one little mouth that shares your light ⭐️

Oh how I cherish this newborn stage ❤️ The endless need for comfort and cuddles. Learning each other and how to work together again in separate bodies. Watching Q’s personality development. No want for independence only focusing on dependence to thrive. It is such a beautiful stage full of love and discovery.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

My husband and I started the day by each taking our turn at the gym. We’ll end it with homemade steak and shrimp 😛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How are you spending this Valentine’s Day?

I feel incredibly blessed to have a birth story like ours. Labor is hard and intense but at the same time it is beautiful and empowering. I am grateful to have experienced such a peaceful home birth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I finished writing my home birth story for the blog. 🖋 I would love to end it by answering any question you guys have! You can post questions in the comments below or message me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love that every stage of our journey as a family has felt complete. When just Adante and I were together it felt like a complete family. When T arrived we felt complete and now with the arrival of Q we feel complete once again.

Welcome to #fridayintroductions 😊️
New year and new faces means it is time for another introduction to The Healthy(ish) Home. I want you guys to know exactly what you’re getting when you come to my page!

Swipe to see our family 🥺😍 ➡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am Tricia and I run this platform/write The Healthy(ish) Home blog. I met my husband, Adante, playing college basketball and we’ve been married almost 5 years. We have two children T (3 almost 4) and Q (1 month). We won’t be posting their full names here to protect their privacy. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My main goal of this platform/my blog is to advocate and educate! I am an Early Childhood Educator, that’s what I went to school for 😉. I believe in attachment parenting (can also be called intentional parenting, conscious parenting, gentle parenting and more). Attachment parenting, to me, is parenting with empathy, respect, understanding and boundaries. I believe if we create healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents, our children can take those bonds with them into their adult lives and share them with their children. A life cycle of compassion and connection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also talk about a non/low-toxic lifestyle. Which for our family includes:
- whole food nutrition and the benefits of eating minimally processed foods
- naturopathic medicine
- purchasing of clean products for our bodies/home and the research behind toxic ingredients
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Occasionally I post here and on my blog but I am most active on Instagram stories. There you will also see parts of my day to day life and hear about experiences I am currently going through. In a combination with my blog and being a stay at home mom, I work from home as a social media manager for some local businesses and teach spin classes at a local gym.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for being on this journey with me! I love this little space we have together and I hope it can be a loving, inspiring corner of the internet for you to visit. ❤️❤️❤️

We are so in love with little Q and I think he is happy with us too 😉 He has started cooing, loves looking out the window and loves watching his sister. He is happiest in mine or Adante’s arms and doesn’t like the pacifier at all. He’s been traveling well in his car seat and nurses like a champ. 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I set realistic expectations for this transition from 1 -> 2 and for the most part they have held true. T has had more emotional releases but overall she is obsessed with her baby brother. She asks to hold him constantly and always check on how he’s doing. He is equally obsessed with her with the exception of being woken up constantly 😅 #secondchildproblems

Breastfeeding... let me be honest, I hate it (for the most part) and it didn’t get easier the second time around. In fact, I feel like this time could be more difficult because I have another child around.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get touched out easily, so obviously breastfeeding doesn’t come easy to me. I have to work hard to regulate my emotions, hold strong boundaries with T and give myself completely touch free times to be able to function. But, for me, it is worth the struggle. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have noticed this time around medical professionals comment that I’m a “breastfeeding veteran” or that “I know what I’m doing because I’ve breastfeed before”. Honestly I didn’t know what I was doing the first time. I just did whatever came natural and was uncomfortable a lot. This time around I asked a lot more questions and met with a lactation consultant. She gave me lots of tips I didn’t know the first time around. It definitely helped me feel more secure in my decision. A few tips I loved are:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt. If it hurts go see a lactation specialist!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Breastfeeding shouldn’t crack your nipples. If your nipples are cracked this usually means your baby’s latch isn’t correct. There are lots of little tricks to make sure your baby is latching correctly! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- It is totally normal for one breast to produce more milk.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Hand massaging the breast that produces less can help improve production.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Hold baby tummy to tummy with mom. This proper positioning lead to less problems. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The part of breasting I love is the bonding part and that breastmilk fixes almost all of Q’s problems. No one else gets this special relationship except me. Sometimes hard things are worth the extra work ❤️ and I am grateful for the journey.

Adante went back to work this week 😕 I am so thankful he was able to take a couple weeks off to be fully present throughout this transition. It truly makes a world of difference having the other parent home.
