Letting my baby scream, am I a bad mom?
Sometimes when my baby wakes up, he gets very fussy. I feed him, burp him, change him and burp him again just to be safe. Then I usually snuggle him for a little bit before swaddling him in his SwaddleMe blanket and laying him down. Most of the time when I lay him down, allllllll he does is scream on and off for a good…

How long did you wait to exercise?
I am SOOO anxious to get back into working out like I used to! I am 2 weeks PP as of today, and a few days ago my doctor said I could start walking and doing some things like crunches, (but she limited me to 50 crunches a day, boooo) :/ She also said NO running, but that's ok because I don't like to run anyways.
