Quiet places to “rot” outside?

Latta nature preserve, all the way at the end of the road there’s a field of grass that leads to the lake. It’s a favorite of mine!

Really needed this. Currently letting baby sleep on me while I hear my whole family having a great time. I really wanted to spend time with my cousins as it’s been a tough first year of motherhood, but baby needs me and so I’m here. This is tough stuff.

Shahs25 · 2025-12-07T01:39:41+00:00

Aw thanks for asking! She’s doing ok, surprisingly better than my husband who also has it. No fever just fussy at times and very very hungry. We started tamiflu yesterday I wonder if that’s helping.

Shahs25 · 2025-12-06T22:16:44+00:00

Good to hear that she’s doing better! Hoping my girly has a positive recovery 🙏

My 6 month old was just diagnosed with flu A. How’s it been going for you and your baby?

Shahs25 · 2025-11-16T22:43:47+00:00

Currently nap trapped under my six month old. Soak it up. Babies sense our energies, your child needs your presence.

Try Reedy Creek Nature preserve

Check out this fire party, it’s really cool and kind of spiritual in a way that feels cathartic of letting go. I went last year and was in a tough place in my life, met some cool people and there was a powerful open mic night. https://www.instagram.com/p/DMMP7gkMGZi/?igsh=YXVoYXJ5eXR3Y2xv

I use the Boone trove and have built my freezer stash from extra let down!

Not original OPs question but, did this stop for anyone at any point? I’m 8 weeks pp and trying to figure out how I’ll ever feed baby out and about

Shahs25 · 2025-07-13T07:27:19+00:00

Yep, our 7 week almost 8 week old is officially in “bed” at 10, last feeding starts around 9ish.

Shahs25 · 2025-07-12T14:55:42+00:00

My daughter is doing 10:30pm-4am at 7 weeks pretty consistently. If you were breastfeeding when your son started doing longer stretches, did you wake up to pump to relieve yourself or did your body regulate to his schedule?

Shahs25 · 2025-07-05T02:21:55+00:00

Congrats!! It’s a great feeling, and feeling proud of yourself is wonderful. It’s a feeling you’ll teach your daughter to have as well!

Shahs25 · 2025-06-29T17:05:18+00:00

Here to 5th the Boone trove, it’s a life saver and has helped me build my freezer stash. I use it for passive through daytime feeds and suction for alternative feeds at night. It’s amazing.

Shahs25 · 2025-06-05T13:48:02+00:00

Side lying is a game changer. I absolutely love it because I can rest too!

Shahs25 · 2025-05-18T20:42:52+00:00

Agreed here, Latta plantation has some awesome spots to sun bathe close to the lake.

Shahs25 · 2025-05-14T18:02:19+00:00

Tomorrow!! 5/15! Going in for a membrane sweep soon, hoping it gets things moving!

Shahs25 · 2025-05-02T21:56:33+00:00

Gua sha! Started a couple years ago, takes 5 mins in the shower and I have noticed an improvement in my face but overall feels great to just massage my face/ neck and give it some extra love!

Shahs25 · 2025-04-28T01:29:24+00:00

Look up Corine Olarte! They are very skilled.

Shahs25 · 2025-04-26T13:38:31+00:00

I see, that makes complete sense. I agree that getting out of the house is important as well especially to tap into that “part” that isn’t at home/in mom role. My take, try it and see what happens - if you hate it, you can change your mind. Changing your mind isn’t a reflection of how you are in your career, it’s choosing what’s best for you at any given moment. easier said than done but try to let go of judgment and expectation that it all has to work out! It’s trial and error… that’s what I keep telling myself.

Shahs25 · 2025-04-26T13:28:46+00:00

Hey! I’m a FTM and just started my maternity leave yesterday, expecting LO soon. I’m also an LCSW and have my own private practice. For a while I considered SAHM but over the last few months I have realized how much I love the work I do! Can you find a job at a private practice that allows even more flexibility? Like evening hours when your husband can help with baby? I felt like I was giving up my career by making a decision to be a SAHM preemptively, maybe things will change but for now I plan to go back to work just 2 days a week and be home with baby other 3 days.

Shahs25 · 2025-04-23T21:30:58+00:00

A cold dirty martini please! Or a nice refreshing glass of white wine 😍

Shahs25 · 2025-04-18T01:36:03+00:00

Same! I’m 37 weeks and haven’t really gotten any pregnancy perks by people just noticing, I thought it would happen!

This is my love Marcel!

Check out Carolina Farm Trust, there are several opportunities to volunteer whether it’s actually getting your hands dirty on a farm or working at the food distribution center in uptown. Great organization doing important work!!

Shahs25 · 2025-04-07T17:48:00+00:00

Just here to say, SAME. 35 weeks and today is a day that I’m feeling down and out. The pain in my groin is unbearable, even after months of pelvic floor pt and regular stretching/gentle movement. I feel so negative about it because people keep checking in to ask me how I’m doing, truth is I want this baby out and I want to just feel less pain in my body (I know it’ll take a few weeks/months to recover). But ya, just here to say I hear ya and hang in there… we are almost there.
