<p>When we found out that we were pregnant, we were extremely excited, and also terrified. We wanted to create a space where we could share all of the emotions and hardships we were going through, day by day and week by week. We wanted to capture every small memory and also reflect on the challenges we were experiencing. That’s when we came up with the idea for a pregnancy journal; perfectly customizable to what we were experiencing.</p>

<p>Once we had a baby, we realized that we needed more community in our lives. Thankfully, there are a ton of resources and events that most communities put on that can help you educate and entertain your children, with minimal effort on your part.

<p>The cliche saying that “things get worse before they get better” was definitely true for our postpartum experience. In our second week at home, the healing was only just beginning. Taking care of a newborn and taking care of yourself can be challenging. In America, some dads only get a two week paternity leave. There is no way we would have survived if that was true for us. </p><h3>Topics:</h3><ul><li>Final jaundice check</li><li>One week of antibiotics</li><li>Meeting with a lactation consultant</li><li>Car Breakdown</li></ul><h3>Links:</h3><ul><li>Products in this Episode / Transcript - </li><li>1022 Productions Instagram - <a href="https://instagram.com/1022productions" rel="nofollow">https://instagram.com/1022productions</a></li></ul>
