Now let’s slow time down and take in each moment a bit more.

Legit Labor Day for me 4 weeks ago was a bit crazy

Legit Labor Day for me 4 weeks ago was a bit crazy. ⁣
I wasn’t going to post this photo, it isn’t that flattering but giving labor is filled with sweat, tears, pain, and love. (Yes, I wore the mask most of the time since I was rushed up to L&D, I honestly forgot I had it on.)⁣
⁣If you want to hear some of my labor story continue reading and I will do a blog post on more details for my own memories and for all asking about natural labor. ⁣
⬇️⁣
I didn’t think I was going to have her early, since my son came 2 weeks late. So the week before, I worked a full week and traveled to Blue Bell, Pa for work on Fri., Sat. I worked out and weeded outside (ended in triage at 12 pm for extreme itching and went home), Sun. I started the day at church with my son. My contractions were 7 min apart and I had a feeling she was coming that day. Went home emailed work, clients, did my nails, cleaned and did laundry (hate coming home to a messy house). We were supposed to go to @reece_wilke 30th birthday party at 3. At 2:15 my husband said I can’t go to a party and have to stop talking with every 5 min contraction 🤣… instead we went to the hospital (was hoping for the birth center to be done— next time 🤷🏼‍♀️). ⁣
⁣Triage wouldn’t take me back, even though I was crying with contractions at this point. So thankful for my midwife that pushed to get me back to check me and guess what… I was 10 cm already! ⁣
I was rushed up to L&D, put on antibiotics for GBS +, made her break my water, and at 5:18pm I pushed her out. ⁣
⁣My second natural delivery, much shorter and not as much back labor, other than her being sunny side up (didn’t know that was painful 🤷🏼‍♀️) with the umbilical cord around her neck. ⁣
[I have a blog about my first natural delivery with extreme back labor]⁣
⁣So thankful for my midwife, husband, and awesome L&D nurse for letting me yell, motivating me, and telling me I am strong. I don’t do natural labor for other people, I do it because I wouldn’t want to go to any other midwife/Obgyn and I like to see what my body can handle (just like working out or running a marathon). Natural, epidural, or c-section are all hard, all woman are strong no matter the type of labor!⁣

A day filled with pb&j and @mancoandmanco pizza on

A day filled with pb&j and @mancoandmanco pizza on the beach and finished with carnival rides and cakes. ⁣
⁣
Years ago I would have never allowed all these foods in one day. Now I realize that food doesn’t control me and I will not let it ruin special memories. ⁣
⁣
If you are struggling with your relationship with food, I want to encourage you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Change won’t happen over night, but the memories (without the stress of food) is refreshing.⁣

Happy first day of school for so many kids and tea

Happy first day of school for so many kids and teachers today!⁣
⁣
The focus is mostly on kids, but I want to put it on our teachers! I have had many teachers and counselors that have touched my life and taught me many lessons, life and character lessons as well. ⁣
⁣
These nutrition steps are important for teachers to:⁣
✏️ be energized the whole day (you can’t run a car without fuel.. nutrition is your fuel)⁣
✏️ to best handle the students⁣
✏️ for their mental health (poor nutrition has been shown to worsen symptoms of depression, anxiety, etc.)⁣
✏️ for blood sugar control (prevent drops that can lead to irritability, lightheaded, fatigue)⁣
✏️ prevent dehydration (signs: tired, lightheaded, headaches)⁣
✏️ prevent ‘before dinner’ or ‘late night’ bingeing or snacking on foods that aren’t leading to your goals ⁣
✏️ to have energy to enjoy their family when they are done work ⁣
⁣
Teachers you are making a difference in these kid’s lives and I thank you for that. This year especially, these students need the best teacher to be there for them and teach them lessons they will remember for life! Stay healthy and go inspire your students!⁣
⁣
Teachers share your favorite tips on staying healthy ⬇️ ⁣

Been busy doing lots of breastfeeding lately or is it really called chest feeding now?🤔 ⁣

World Breastfeeding Week… just the right time as

World Breastfeeding Week… just the right time as I prep myself to begin breastfeeding again any day now (praying baby B is a good feeder like her brother was).

Swipe to make sure you are eating properly to get the most out of our your breastfeeding/pumping journey.

Save to go back to this when you are feeding to make sure you are nourishing yourself to be the healthiest momma for your little one!
When momma is healthy and nourished, the rest of the family benefits!

Matcha Monday Motivation⁣ ⁣ I have been hooked

Matcha Monday Motivation⁣
⁣
I have been hooked on iced matcha as I come to the end of my pregnancy. It’s dangerous when you have an awesome coffee shop in the middle of your morning walk and money on your Apple pay. But an absolutely perfect start to the week. ⁣
⁣
My question is… how do you start your Monday and how do you set the tone for your new week?⁣
⁣
My Monday morning routine (for as long as I can before I deliver):⁣
➰5:30 gym session ⁣
➰pick up some fresh fruit from @duffieldsfarm (today I got blackberries and peaches)⁣
➰get home in time before Bryce wakes up so the hubs can sleep longer⁣
➰eat a high protein breaky ⁣
➰Walk with Bryce to see all the things on Broadway (we visit the trains and “zoo”)⁣ and listen to my podcasts @pastorrickwarren @zimism @proverbs31ministries
➰today treated myself to a matcha latte from @endgraincoffee ⁣
➰shower and get ready for work⁣
➰improve the health of all my amazing clients from 9-5! ⁣
⁣
Focus on the outcome versus how you feel at that moment. Quit with the excuses and get to work. ⁣
⁣
⁣
✨Taking clients (link in bio or DM) — Cash pay and if you have health insurance you are in luck! Most plans have FREE coverage for nutrition counseling and I accept most plans. ⁣
What a win… improve your health with me for FREE (well get the most out of the money you pay for your health insurance)! ⁣

Getting pretty emotional over here lately… espec

Getting pretty emotional over here lately… especially with 8 weeks left of Bryce being the only child. ⁣
⁣
I had a father and son in a session this week. I provided realistic nutritional changes that were agreed on together and goals to work on when he is ready. At the end of the session, the father mentioned that having this session with his son was a Father’s Day gift to him… I almost lost it during our meeting! I waited to get off zoom meeting to wipe my tears. ⁣
⁣
Between my pregnancy hormones and me genuinely caring for my clients to gain a better quality of life, once in awhile I tear up during or after sessions. It is so cool to see how clients progress over a few sessions, build life-changing habits, and improve their relationship with each other and food. ⁣
⁣
This past session really made me think about the small things I stress about (as type A perfectionist), but when you step out and look at the big picture are not worth the stress I give it:⁣
✨my son not eating balanced meals (or too many snacks) when some kids don’t know when their next meal will be⁣
✨messy house… when I prayed to have kids and it isn’t always easy for others ⁣
✨not spending enough time due to work… but when I am with him I show him so much love and affection ⁣
✨not wanting to be around other people without us… I am blessed that he feels so safe with us when not every child has loving parents ⁣
✨when bed time is later… maybe he was just meant to spend the extra time with those people ⁣
✨when I lose my temper… I try my best to apologize so he realizes that mommy isn’t perfect⁣
⁣
I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!⁣

How do you pack for your summer vacation or beach

How do you pack for your summer vacation or beach trip?⁣
⁣
Vacations are great not having to cook, but that can also lead to lots of going out to eat and relying on convenience stores for food. ⁣
⁣
Be prepared with a cooler stacked with nutrient dense foods. It will be cheaper, keep you more full than eating bags of snacks, and will ensure you get some fruits and veggies that may go missing during vacation. ⁣
⁣
We went on a long drive for a weekend trip and these snacks, along with some packaged snacks & pb&j, kept the car ride a lot better! [crying toodler… feed them!]⁣
⁣
To be honest I got really sick of going out to eat after 2-3 times and really craved these foods and my normal go-to food at home.⁣
⁣
You too can start building healthy habits that you start craving homemade, healthy food while also allowing yourself to enjoy something other than salads every time you go out to eat!⁣
⁣
Let me help you create that healthy balance in life. I am telling you that you will feel better and food stress will go away! ➡️ link in bio to request an appointment!⁣
