I'm adding it to my shopping list right now.<br />Glad to hear you liked hypnobirthing! I got the Bradley Method because I could get it free from my library, but I've heard good things about hypnobirthing as well.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060001124102106893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-58072193663373370522013-09-23T14:53:45.152-07:002013-09-23T14:53:45.152-07:00Awesome tips!

Don't you worry--I've been living in my pajamas and wearing zero makeup. :) I heard that tip from one of my baby prep classes: dress in a way to remind guests that you're still recovering.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060001124102106893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-12784109577079226242013-09-23T10:14:30.503-07:002013-09-23T10:14:30.503-07:00Great ideas!

That's would've really helped last time around and I'll definitely do that next time. My favorite newborn tip is to use fels naptha, which is a super cheap bar of soap/detergent that is awesome for taking care of diaper blow out messes. I used it at least daily with both my babies and it worked way better than anything else I've found. Just rub some on the clothes with some cold water. I also used an epidural the first time around and didn't love it, so I used the hypnobirthing "self study course" for my second and loved it.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157056289628947309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-54844693486432633412013-09-23T08:45:02.462-07:002013-09-23T08:45:02.462-07:00LOVED this post, Lisa!

I usually read all of yours in advance of posting (because I am a blog co-author creeper like that), but I missed this one, so it was a fun surprise. <br /><br />Also, for the record, people, Lisa is amazing (responding to Money Hip Mamas emails 1 DAY after she gave birth?!)

It's called Taking Charge of Your Fertility and I'm a huge fan. Obviously some people have issues that are greater than the scope of that book, but for most people, it's extremely helpful.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060001124102106893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-49356684902137703212013-09-23T07:11:16.591-07:002013-09-23T07:11:16.591-07:00But also, congrats!

What is that book you read and were raving about years ago (like 3 years, last time I visited you) .... something about taking charge of your fertility?? Do you know what I'm talking about?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683837213373639686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267817124201916027.post-7244625349444563672013-09-23T06:16:20.925-07:002013-09-23T06:16:20.925-07:00Great job, Lisa!

Miles is darling. What helped me immensely after my pregnancies was letting go of expectations. Yes, there are women who go home from the hospital in their skinny jeans, women who bring their week old baby to church looking adorable and can have visitors over to their clean house. None of that was me. And that was OK. It was OK for me to be tired, moody, leaky and messy. I had just performed a miracle! That needs recovery time. Oh and Pink Grapefruit lotion from Bath & Body Works. The scent always gave me a lift & it was just about the only scent I could use and not have my babies refuse to nurse.
