With all this Covid-19 talk, I wanted to share some positivity!

New Parents! The JOY, the LOVE, the EXCITEMENT!

The product of one true love ♡ Yes, it sounds cheesy, but really! The product of love, half of you and half of the one you love. You all as parents have entered a new stage in life, crazy right?! 9 months and things will be completely different!! Life will literally never be the same!! Thats mind blowing! Don’t you think?! I mean our parents went through all of this, raising us and seeing us grow, now their stage is grandparents and ours is parents! It’s completely crazy!! (insert Lion King, Circle of life song)

I’m not really sure where this blog post is going, I was just in the mood to type, so here we are lol

Have you guys seen Once Upon A Time? It’s a series on Netflix about fairytales. It randomly came to mind and kind of goes with the post lol

So if you’ve seen it, you know that a big part of it is about Snow White and Prince Charming, the have a baby “product of true love” (if you haven’t seen it, i’m going to spoil it) So they have a baby and then this “curse” comes and they do everything in their power to protect the baby. Yes, i’m comparing a curse to the virus lol

As parents , we’ll do anything to protect our littles! Right now, with all the covid-19 going on, i’m sure lots of parents are freaking out. We don’t know what’s going to happen, or how this will affect our day to day. So far we are all on lock down, basically staying away from society. I do know that hospitals are restricting the amount of visitors. If you had a different plan, maybe look into home births and birth centers. Also, calling family members that you would’ve liked to have been there. Just hearing a calming familiar voice can make a huge difference ♡

We can chose to see it all negatively or practice all guidelines and try to see the bright side. Bright side; taking time to be at home and enjoy all the little things. We can get babies room ready, spend quality time with baby. Yes, literally sit down, dance, pray with baby! We get to spend time with our partners and our children, I heard schools out until who knows when!! •_• We also can learn new recipes! Fun right? I mean unless you hate being in the kitchen, send the recipe to a friend lol

But what i’m saying is, we now have time to do things that we normally wouldn’t do. Enjoy it!

If you or your partner is an essential worker, THANK YOU! From the bottom of all our hearts, we would not be able to do it without you!

Be POSITIVE!! That’s the best thing I can think of right now. Practice positivity, we all know what’s going on, some more than others, but needless to say, we can all offer positivity. Send someone a friendly message, write a letter, paint something lol

If you’re worried or freaking out, write down your feelings, talk to someone. Don’t keep it in, we’re all in this together. If your missing your family and friends, a little FaceTime chat will make a huge difference!

To all family members who will soon be aunts, uncles, grandparents.. ect. Practice social distancing, call your new parents and say hello, see how they are doing. See if your of any help in anyway. Send LOVE!

Parents to be, stay strong and work together! You WILL get through this and everything will be alright!

Your family will grow, your baby will grow and learn new things daily! Smell your baby, hug your baby, take in every teeny tiny bit of it all! Love and encourage each other! You’ll have lots of snuggles and sleepless nights ahead.

Think back to how you felt when you both found out you were pregnant!! Hold on to those emotions! ♡

Spend time and enjoy each and everyday together ♡
