This is my happy-vagina-post-baby kit! 🙌🤱💕Thanks to @lauren.niederhiser for the @itsbodily box gift & @sierranoeldavid for the @fridamom set to get me started! I’ve got mesh undies, maxi pads, witch hazel or benzocaine spray, pedi bottles & sitz bath supplies in both bathrooms ready to go!

This has been an emotional roller coaster of a wee This has been an emotional roller coaster of a week - really only half a week.🎢 1️⃣ At a routine high-risk appointment I found out I also have gestational diabetes. To say that I was devastated is an understatement. 💉2️⃣ Wednesday we also had our breast-feeding class.🤱3️⃣ On Thursday we started kitchen demolition. 🛠4️⃣ Friday was our fifth wedding anniversary and kitchen installation part 1. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻5️⃣ Saturday we had a childbirth class and an amazing baby shower. 🤰🌿Family from California and my padrino surprised me! I cried. ••• The only way I’ve made it through is has been with the support and outpouring of love from our family and friends. Too many to name here but thank you all! #highriskpregnancy #rainbowbaby #babyshower #gestationaldiabetes #blessed #grateful #vaccinefamilies #anniversary #diapercake #thirdtrimester #jisforjourney #williamjamesiii

Trying to understand my legal workplace rights & m Trying to understand my legal workplace rights & maternity leave has been a NIGHTMARE. Crazy for an industry that is mostly women too. No one should have to chase down 5 different departments to get different pieces of the puzzle which still make no sense when I attempt to put them together. 🤬🤯🤰🤱‼️ Not looking for special exceptions, just looking to do the best thing by my family & come back to work as a full employee (aka not the 6 week zombie so many are pressured into). ••• #jisforjourney #fmla #maternityleave #supportfamilies #pregnancy #30weekspregnant #highschoolteacher #pregnantteacherlife #pregnancyunfiltered
UPDATE!!! The mayor responded to my email & is sen UPDATE!!! The mayor responded to my email & is sending this to the public works office to get it removed! ‼️SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING. I saw this swastika on my way home from work yesterday in Oviedo. Rather than shake my head & drive in by I took a photo & contacted the city to have this removed ASAP. ••• Don’t be silent! #antisemitism #stophate #jisforjourney #speakup #stopantisemitism #seesomethingsaysomething

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!!! 🖤❤️🖤❤️ Two sweet surprises from @lmhsrams & a thoughtful family! 👩🏻‍🏫📝👩🏻‍💻••• As we enter teacher appreciation week be mindful that thousands of teachers in Florida will also be told they’re not being rehired. In many cases, not because they didn’t anything wrong, but because our state budgeting system is broken. It’ll look like a student/budget shortfall, they’ll let the last hires go & come September schools will have to beg for teachers again. It creates a terrible cycle of low teacher morale, a shallow pool of quality applicants, & inconsistent education for students. As you thank teachers this next week keep that in mind thst some of them have to show up the whole next month, put on a happy face to their students knowing they’re out of a job (& insurance) come June. ••• #teachersofinstagram #publicschoolteacher #teacherlife #teachersfollowteachers #teacherappreciationweek #teacherfamily #fixpublicschools #floridateachers #jisforjourney #stopteacherguilt

Pregnancy is more than the bump pics! 🤰💗This Pregnancy is more than the bump pics! 🤰💗This is a glimpse into my daily maternity medical routine: morning prenatal (generic), 24 hour allergy pill & baby aspirin then at night Will gives me a shot before bed. 💉💊What you see in the second picture is $230 worth of shots, about 3 months. By the end of this pregnancy I will have paid almost $800 in pregnancy-related medicine out of pocket (I’m not counting the allergy pills or WEEKLY allergy shots here). 🩺😩💸💉💊However, I don’t write this to grumble. A generation ago I may not have been able to even stay pregnant because the genetic tests & medicines weren’t available. ••• #healthymomshealthybabies #maternitycareisnotaluxury #prenatalvitamins #highriskpregnancy #rainbowbaby #trustscience #bumppic #jisforjourney #supportmaternalhealth #healthcareshouldntbeaprivilege #24weekspregnant #pregnancylife #inspirepregnancy #babyfuri
Being busy is not a sign of success. 🤑😤🤯 Being busy is not a sign of success. 🤑😤🤯 Bragging about being overworked and tired id one of things I hate the most about American culture. This & next week is just stupid busy for Will and I. 🧑‍🏫👩🏻‍🏫🎾🧘‍♀️🏠🩺📆👩🏻‍💻🥾🤰I was going to write Instagram posts of all the stuff we “accomplished” but then I realize I don’t necessarily want to celebrate the fact that I overfilled my schedule and I have to get takeout because I don’t have time to cook. #jisforjourney #normalizerest
I want to reclaim the word “frugal.” So much d I want to reclaim the word “frugal.” So much during this pregnancy (& my life in general) I spent a lot of time researching, creating spreadsheets & bouncing ideas off of everyone I talk to. 🤑🗣👩🏻‍💻💸 It’s not that I’m cheap or poor or unable to “let go.” It’s that I want to be in control of my money with smart decisions. ••• #beintentional #frugalliving #frugal #jisforjourney #bumppic #kitchen #lessconsumption #lesswaste
