From Infant To Toddler

March 1, 2017

Our son Michael Joseph was born January 30, 2016, weighing 7lbs. 12oz. at 21” long. Where did the time go? From infant to toddler in just one short year. The first year is filled with so many firsts; first smile, first roll over, first solid food, first laugh, first sit up, first stand, first word,…

My Experience Of Childbirth

February 23, 2017

A mom shares her story of childbirth.

January 29th at 11:20 am I was a little over 37 weeks pregnant when suddenly my water broke; shocked and afraid, I quickly past it off as a possible urine leak. I remember a wave of emotions coming over me, emotional because my journey with pregnancy was about to come to an end, and nervous…

Mom Guilt

February 7, 2017

Don't let Mom Guilt get a hold on you.

Mom Guilt. We all get it, and it comes in many varied forms. So here’s my journey in trying to tackle this beast. I am a mom to 2, Beau and Ben, who definitely keep me busy. I also have a full time career as a Clinical Trials Analyst at the Med Center in Omaha…

Body Changes After Baby

January 26, 2017

I will be the first to admit that I was terrified of getting fat during pregnancy. I know it sounds terrible, but I have always been athletic and comfortable in my own skin. When people tell you that pregnancy takes over your body, they aren’t kidding! As soon as I found out I was pregnant,…

Planning For Baby’s First Birthday

January 22, 2017

Planning your baby's first birthday party and thanking the village of people who support your family every day.

I quickly realized we have a lot of family and friends after my son’s baptism, and I want to be able to include all of them in my baby’s first birthday celebration. Unlike our wedding that was “adult reception only,” and my baby shower that was “women only,” I am no longer able to shorten the…

From The Heart Of A Not-So-Special “Special Needs” Mom

January 13, 2017

From The Heart Of A Not-So-Special "Special Needs" Mom

People always say your life can change in the blink of an eye. For my husband and I, this couldn’t be more true. After having three healthy children, our life forever changed when we found out at 17 weeks pregnant that our “Accidental Blessing” (#4!) had SEVERE brain and head malformations that would lead to…

When’s Number Two?!

January 9, 2017

When is baby number 2 coming?

When’s number two?! I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked that. I mean, shoot….. I’m still figuring it out with number one. Yes, my husband and I would love another child, but that question is asked way too much. What if I was trying every month and it just wasn’t happening?…

Are You Breastfeeding?

December 27, 2016

Are you breastfeeding? It's a common question for new mothers, but for moms who can't breastfeed, it can bring up a lot of sadness.

How long were you in labor? Did you have to have a C section? Are you exclusively breastfeeding?? Wait what?! People really ask personal questions about my body and my capabilities to feed and birth my child? Having a newborn baby was the most incredible and life changing event of my life. I was overjoyed…

A Not So Perfect Pregnancy

December 19, 2016

Maternity Pictures - I never thought I would do a maternity photo shoot, but a difficult pregnancy changed my mind.

As 2016 quickly comes to an end I can’t help but reminisce on the year. One year ago, I was 35 weeks pregnant, and I was in the studio having my maternity pictures taken. Maternity pictures was something I swore I was never going to do. After 35 weeks of horrible health issues and so…

Soon To Be Mother

August 28, 2016

You’ve caught me on a good day… waking up with hemorrhoids!! I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with my first child and have had an easy pregnancy so far. Until now. I’ve been told not to brag about the lack of pregnancy symptoms (i.e. morning sickness and heartburn), because they will come and when they…

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
