My name is Chelsea and this is my second pregnancy. I lost my first baby to miscarriage at 11 weeks, and I love the strong will our little girl has already shown! I am 24 and a newlywed, we celebrate our first anniversary the month before our little one makes her arrival. My husband just got medically discharged from the Army so he is home for good!! I try not to panic about everything and show my true crazy first mom colors :p

The first time I set eyes on my princess. After fighting pre-eclampsia and a rare form of cardiomyopathy, being rushed by ambulance from one hospital to another, one of the scariest days of my life and then I heard her cry. I was SO swollen, it's scary to even look at these pictures because it doesn't look like me. But it was all worth it! #momlifephotos

I'm 9 days old today, still in the NICU but wishing you ladies a happy labor day!!

Are there any NICU moms on here? If so, how did you keep your supply up? it's been so tough, my baby is unable to latch so I am pump only. I was on magnesium so I didn't start pumping until she was almost 3 days old. I'm taking fenugreek, I have lactation treats from milky mama I've been eating twice a day and I just can't seem to pump more than 20ml a session 😭😭

in the blink of an eye I became a NICU mom, so painful to leave the hospital without your baby!!

This past week has been a complete whirl wind of events and it has been almost impossible for me to keep everyone updated these past few days because recovery has not been easy. It is still unclear as to why everything happened the way it did, but I did have severe pre-eclampsia along with another condition that affected my heart and breathing. I had my first ride in an ambulance, my first hospital stay, my first major surgery, and my first little one! I would go through it all again and fight j...

Say a prayer for our little family, we were admitted to the hospital on Monday I had over 15lbs of fluid in my legs! I've been diagnosed with slight pre-eclampsia, been giving potassium by IV (the worst if any of you mommies have to go through that) steroid shots for baby's lungs, and also insulin to control my sugar, (super late sugar diagnosis). They may be allowing us to go home tomorrow for 10 days and then back to deliver (that's the longest they will allow me to carry). Pray that all my l...

I don't want to be that person but, I'm almost 35 weeks baby is measuring 4 weeks ahead I can't bend my feet from the swelling so I have to shuffle. I have a rash on my belly, and awful pain in my hips. On top of the rest of the uncomfortable 3rd trimester fun. Would it be wrong to call my doctor about going out of work? I'm not sleeping, I'm miserable and I want to bite every ones head off. I do have a doctors appointment Thursday but just thinking about the next two days makes me want to cry. ...

Doing his daddy duties putting all her stuff together! getting ready :)

when you can't decide if you look like a pregnant princess or a whale in the water 😭😭😭

This little girl has such long hair already, it's already past her ears and was just a moving. Guess this heart burn is kind of worth it :p
