The 13 BEST things about having a baby and becoming a mom 🤗

This video is a follow-up from a previous video of mine where I had an open and honest conversation about my early motherhood struggles and the things I wish I had known before having a baby. Watch “The 13 hardest things about having a baby (so far)” here:    • The 13 hardest things about having a ...  

I’m almost 2 years into my “fourth trimester” and while navigating motherhood as a first-time mom has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, OVERALL, my view of this experience has absolutely been a NET POSITIVE. I would—and will—do it again!

In this video, I discuss the best things I’ve experienced (so far) in my transition to motherhood. The first point talks about conception, pregnancy, and physically bringing a baby into the world, so it’s only relevant to those who are birthing their babies, but as the video progresses, I talk more about the universal experiences of parenthood that almost anyone can relate to. 

In total, I share 13 things I’ve loved about becoming a mom—things like watching myself grow into the role of “mom,” realizing how capable I am, watching my baby learn new skills, and carrying on traditions and breaking cycles. I also talk about how to meet mom friends (having a baby literally quadrupled my friendships) and different ways to find joy in motherhood (like how your baby will help you remember how to enjoy the simple things in life and lean into playfulness + wonder).

I shared this in my previous video, but the heart of this series is me remembering those early days of parenting—feeling like overnight, my entire life had changed. I wanted to share my motherhood experience, talk about what it feels like, express what no one tells you about becoming a mom, and help give you an idea of what to expect when you’re expecting so you don’t feel as blindsided as I did. Yes, motherhood is difficult AND, yes, it is also FULL of joy. I wanted to shed light on both of those facts.

If you are currently pregnant or interested in having a baby in the future and have ever thought something along the lines of, “It would be SUPER COOL if someone could give me one neatly packaged guidebook with EVERYTHING I NEED inside so that I could just enjoy the journey a bit more and know that I had something to reference at every stage…” I have something FOR YOU. I built possibly the most exciting digital offering I’ve ever created: my Motherhood Superguide. It has links to EVERY PRODUCT we use and love, access to all the content that I've created or that I consumed during conception, pregnancy, and postpartum—from YouTube videos to podcasts to books. I even give you my pregnancy bullet journal e-book FOR FREE inside and share never before seen things like screenshots of my feeding schedule with Milo at various stages of his life and more. Basically, it’s ALL the things that I wish I had been sent!

Whether you're thinking you might want to have a baby at any time in the future, currently trying to conceive, are currently pregnant, OR are a new parent...this guide is EVERYTHING you could ever ask for, and I'm so excited to share it with you. https://itlist.com/i/204/motherhood-s...

All in all, so far, motherhood has been an incredible journey filled with love, joy, and challenges. If you are pregnant or just about to welcome a new child into your life, I hope this video gets you excited for what’s to come, and for those of you thinking about whether or not you want to have children some day, I hope that this video (in conjunction with my other video) can help paint an accurate picture for you of some of the highs and lows of this wild ride.
