24 Hours with our Newborn & Postpartum Self Care

[Music] hello friends welcome back to my channel today i am sharing 24 hours with my daughter goldie she is three weeks old to the day [Music] first things first i let lola out on the patio you guys know she loves the sunshine in the morning on the patio she brings her pig out there it's a whole thing i throw on some sweatpants they usually were last nights i threw my hair up and according to this new data we got goldie up at 909 a.m and she stretches and it's so freaking cute oh my god i just i cannot believe i made her she's a perfect little being i bring her into the nursery and i will feed her right away i love our recliner i'll leave the details down below i also love this my breast friend pillow it is so handy go get one if you're a first time mom i also really like using these collection cups in the opposite boob to what i'm feeding on oh my god her little yawns they just kill me we've been using the glow app to track like poops and weeds and feeding times and like everything get it it's very handy while we're feeding glenn opens up the house and he lets lola out in the backyard to do her business he makes earl grey tea specifically this cream of earl grey from david's tea get on it you will thank me i do the first of many diaper changes throughout the day there's probably at least two or three more that i missed we use hello bello subscription it is super handy definitely look that up i wash her little face and then i grab a fresh set of pajamas i love putting her in pajamas they're just so much easier with a one zip kind of situation these ones are from kite baby and they are so soft oh my gosh they are so nice you're supposed to not put them in the dryer but we totally do glenn is a daily meditator he uses the sam harris waking up app so goldie has been meditating with him and now become aware of the sensation of breathing i want you to pay very close attention to the breath most mornings goldie and glenn hang out for a while while mommy gets to do some self-care so i am first headed for a shower when i get out of the shower i do a quick skincare routine i apply a ton of deodorant i have been so smelly post birth my god it is brutal i have been using the bondi boost root intensive spray to try and encourage hair growth because i know postpartum hair loss is coming i use a little bit of the eva nyc heat protectant and then brush that through and most of the time i do not have the time to blow dry so i just let my hair air dry i love this nipple butter it is such a must-have it will save your nipples trust but an area that i've been struggling with is under my bra line i'm always damp it's always rubbing it is just misery i grabbed my robe this one is from tofino towel company and i'll come out and grab my tea lola always wants to come downstairs to the yoga recovery room with me so downstairs we go in that room we keep our juve red light therapy panel and i have been trying to use it as much as possible for my post birth recovery since i am still bleeding and i have stitches and such i sit on top of a doggy pee pad and i keep my knees spread open and i let the light shine sista [Music] some things can be outsourced and vacuuming is most definitely one of those things we turn our vacuum jeeves on and he does a spin of the house and goldie usually has her first cat nap so today it was in the swing while glenn was watching don't worry she's fine i then make my way to the kitchen for breakfast i have been making these little superfood oat packets from nature's path organic they're very yummy they're quick i'll always add a scoop of hemp hearts for added protein and some seeds like pumpkin seeds for some more minerals and vitamin content i will put a lid on it so it can sit and get all ready for me to eat and i go and grab goldie because she gets to eat first [Music] once she's all done i trade off with glenn so i can go eat and he does burping duty and a diaper change but back to my breakfast i top my oatmeal with some bananas and walnuts and oat milk and i also had a hash brown an egg orange juice and a yogurt glenn had some hash browns from his meal so i stole one i've been eating my placenta yes i know people have opinions on that but honestly i have had the best most smooth postpartum that i am really happy that i chose to do what i did even if it's a placebo goldie is super into these black and white contrast books they are great i will link a few down below today they are doing reading and tummy time two birds one stone goldie really doesn't mind being on her stomach so that's great we have been doing lots of tummy time practice and then it is time for another cat nap this sterilizer runs at least once a day so here i am unloading it and i am feeding lady creston my sourdough starter she is holding on by a thread during this postpartum period i have been severely neglecting her so she's getting a little bit of love today [Music] i love cookies and any excuse to eat them i will take so i am making lactation cookies today i will post the recipe in the info box for you and while i made those cookies glenn called his brother in australia and they got to meet goldie for the first time over face time which was very exciting here i am making the cookies and using my heart to measure those chocolate chips [Music] so i popped those in the oven and then it was feeding time yet again [Music] and then we're back at it with some more tummy time lola 100 thinks we're on the ground for her it's very funny [Music] now i am living in sweatpants these days but if i do throw on clothes it has been something soft and stretchy like yoga pants i most definitely have not been wearing makeup every day but i do feel much more put together when i take two seconds to do it so that's what i'm doing today now it is time for goldie's crib nap so we try and do at least one of her naps a day in her crib in her nursery rather than like on the go or in the snoo reason being we want her to be really comfortable in the nursery and we had heard that people had issues with the transfer from snoo to nursery when people phased the snow out so we wanted to avoid that i'm changing over another load of laundry and then having some lunch i made this really yummy mushroom and wild rice soup the other day so yum we have a bit of down time and then just like that nap time is over and the cycle of the same activities commences change the bomb feed the baby read the books do some tummy time you know the drill [Music] i didn't film it but we've been doing suck training you can google it it's very helpful if your baby is not latching as well as they could be so we spent some time doing that today i attempted some emails and computer work and side note the little chair that she's sitting in is one of our favorite purchases it's the newborn set for the trip trap high chair and it is so worth your money lola also approves we found that white noise is very helpful for us in the newborn stage so we have white noise machines clipped everywhere we are getting ready to go for a little afternoon walk love this carrier it is so easy to use and comfortable for goldie it just holds her in and snug i am getting lola all ready to go for our walk and then out the door we go i'm totally laughing at myself while watching this back because i remember not putting a toque on her because i didn't want it to slip over top of her nose and obstruct her breathing while we were walking and i'm sure we checked her breathing at least 10 times during this walk new parent anxiety am i right but she was fine and the walk was lovely and much needed and we came home and needed to start some dinner but first a bum change and more laundry and then it's feeding time again breastfeeding is a full-time job so far this week i've spent 18 hours and 24 minutes breastfeeding which is insane and needless to say since i'm feeding goldie glenn is feeding us we've been using hellofresh this is not an ad i pay for it it's just really handy to not have to think about what you were eating for some of the meals of the week so we've been really enjoying that tonight glenn made a really yummy like chickpea curry stew kind of deal it was very very yummy and mama's having a glass of wine so during this newborn period we've really shifted our day so that it's quite a bit later than what our usual times are so we're having dinner probably around like 7 30 ish and while we're having dinner goldie usually has a bit of a cat nap by the time we're done she's ready to play and then one of us plays and the other one cleans up the kitchen tonight it was me but usually it is glenn bless glenn thank you glenn we always have an evening tea and i'm having this traditional medicinal's mother's milk tea oh my god that's a mouthful and glenn opted for the echinacea [Music] i am taking my vitamins i'm having my placenta my mushrooms my probiotic and my multivitamin which is technically my prenatal i've been very diligent with my vitamins and minerals so that i can replenish my body and i've been really aware of my water consumption so i've been keeping these glass tumblers in my most used breastfeeding spots and i will make sure to always fill it up with water and make sure my area is ready to go for the night [Music] right from birth i started calling milk nana's and so whenever i would feed goldie i started singing her this nana song [Music] she's starting to kind of like slowly recognize that like okay this means that booby is coming [Music] we had wondered how lola would be with the baby and she's just gone above and beyond all expectations she is such a sweetheart and we make sure to show her so much love and make sure that she doesn't feel left out around 10 pm we start winding down for bed and we don't have like a specific nighttime routine for goldie yet it's a little bit early for that but we kind of do the same things get the room ready change her sometimes rock her for a bit and then feed her sometimes i'll read a book and then feed her we really love these salt lamps they're on smart plugs and they cast the most beautiful light in the room since we have a snoo goldie gets put into her little snooze sack before bed and oh my god she's adorable we just burrito her in our final feed is very slow and sleepy and it takes her a while to get a big belly full of milk so i'm here for a while [Music] i finally creep into the bedroom and according to this new data i put her down at 11 30 pm [Music] we typically don't leave the light on but obviously for filming purposes you know once goldie is in bed and asleep i can take a couple minutes to get myself prepared for bed i'm very grateful to passed carissa for purchasing some pairs of nyx underwear before i gave birth these are perfect for postpartum i've been wearing them the entire video but here's what they look like i also have been using this perineal balm on my perineum i brush my teeth i do my skin care i put on my nipple balm and then i'm ready for bed [Music] oh yes [Music] shhh [Music] shhh [Music] good morning [Music] and so it begins again [Music] thank you so much for watching today's video i hope you enjoyed please don't forget to leave a comment like it if you enjoyed and i will see you in the next one [Music] you
