Although I’m creeped out by Anpanman in principle, they do have great toys 😩

Days like these drive me nuts… I’ve always been an indoor person, never had a problem staying home—days, weeks at a time. But now… I need air. I need to go out with baby. Taking walks with her for some reason keeps me sane.

Let’s talk 10bai-gayu (10倍粥) which is the staple food for babies in Japan! Here’s the recipe: Rice (40 grams) Water (200 mil) Put it in a pot and let it simmer at low heat for 10 minutes. Let it rest for another ten minutes. Blend. #japan #japanesefood #babyfood

Pros: I’m so congested I can’t smell baby’s poops. Cons: I’m so congested I can’t smell baby’s poops.

If you can breathe from both nostrils… … take a second and appreciate it.

Being a mom has taught me to let go. Not just the small battles: giving up when baby doesn’t want to sleep (despite being tired), stopping when she rejects the bottle (despite being hungry), compromise with husband about schedules (despite being exhausted)… It’s the big ones. 🧵

I can’t believe this almost slipped my mind…!! ✨Happy Women’s Day!!✨

Y’all. Y’ALL. Making baby food is SO. MUCH. FUN. I could do this forever. (BLW isn’t really a thing here, and I’m more than okay using purés at first) This week: carrots, potatoes, and broccoli make their debut!!

Now baby is sick and I feel so guilty I hate it I hate it I hate it I’m so sorry baby 😭😭😭 (We’ve been to the pediatrician and got her meds so she’ll be okay but omg the guilt)

Caught the stupidest cold and my coughing keeps waking up baby 😭😭😭 stahp

I did not expect my favorite part of parenthood being introducing her to new foods. I am EXCITED every day! (tho considering how much I love to eat, should it really be a surprise lol)

Japan was like… Why not both? 😰

I can deal with many things, but ads with audio ain’t one of them.
