Pins That Got Me Through My First Pregnancy


Pregnancy and parenting is an exciting and scary new adventure. I had been pinning parenting tips and baby help for years on Pinterest, even before babies were a serious idea for us. One of the greatest appreciations I have for living in the 21st century would be the internet, because it can connect you to other parents just like you, help you find advice on how to soothe your baby to sleep and when to transition your baby over to solid foods, it's incredibly helpful! There are so many pins out there though, how do you find the best ones? What if you have chosen not to get sucked into the black hole of Pinterest but would still like to find some really sound advice, or what if you have just enough free time to read this blog and open links, but not go searching for great tips yourself? Hold the phone! I have decided to share the pins that got me through my 1st pregnancy for your benefit! I hope you find some or all of these tidbits helpful to you! (*** means it's one of my top favorite pins!)
