Even her cry is precious 🥺😍 As a chronically ill woman who cant have kids but always wanted them, I just love that you give us a little peak of the sweeties it just makes my day❤️
Awesome gift ideas, Jen. My favorite gift is a ring with the words "You are enough" on it. To some people that's a really sad gift. But if you are a chronically sick mom you often have a lot of guilt because you feel that you don't do enough with your kids. But you do! And you need to be reminded of that. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs from Norway.
I would be thrilled to take the cheap version: I sit on the couch with an electric massager all day and Brian delivers me food. Fathers day we switch. Lol!
Great gift ideas! I love the succulents in the shower idea. Now when my vision sparkles in the shower and I feel like I need a nap after, the air will be extra fresh! 🤪🪴😂
Yess we got our mom a digital frame for xmas and she loves it. Its nice to be able to send her pics every day for her to see when she gets home from work.
It brought tears to my eyes to see you struggle to sooth the baby while trying to complete the video. You are an amazing mother and great example to us all, showing us your priorities -the family- and still the determination to accomplish your goal - the recording. You look lovely- thanks for sharing the cornstarch in the hair trick. I bet many viewers will appreciate knowing that shortcut!
@@MommingwithMigraine I think my tears were in memory of the struggles of being a young mother with four kids and chronic fatigue. I’m so grateful you found a diagnosis, I don’t have your same symptoms but I strongly believe I have something undiagnosed, for which doctors order anti-depressants, mental therapy, and blood tests that are all mostly normal. I’m so grateful you show the real you, and did not edit out those personal baby interruptions.
Easters for me now are a bit hard. My mother passed away in October of 2016. She had been sick for a long time and her departure was slow and painful. She died from respiratory failure (not related to smoking), so her death was not a shock. By Easter 2017 I thought I had dealt with her loss but I had been holding something back without even knowing. They day after Easter I was in the store and they were setting up a display for Mother's Day. I remember thinking, "Oh, I need to get a card." I took two steps toward the display before I remembered that, no, I did not need to get a card. It was like a dam had broken inside my mind and I was flooded by such a feeling of grief and loss. It was shocking because it came out of nowhere. I had to leave my nearly full shopping cart where it sat just to get out of the store. I desperately needed to get to somewhere more private. I had spent the last day of my grandmother's life holding her hand while she in her delirium called me "Walt" (I look very much like my grandfather. He passed before I was born) and just trying to comfort her. I loved my grandmother and I still miss her 38 years after she died her but I didn't feel anything like this overwhelming grief I felt for my mother. Frankly it was a relief when Grandma passed because she was in so much pain. That wave of grief was so shocking still, every year when the stores change their displays from Easter to Mother's day I have echoes of that grief.
Powerfully written, in a way where I can feel some of that world-shaking myself. I know the physical reaction when something hits you and it floods; it happened to me with baby things after our miscarriage. I'm sincerely sorry for your losses, and how much you (and they) went through.
@@MommingwithMigraine You can't get through life without a few bumps and scrapes. Perhaps a coup[le of broken bones. The hard times just make the good times that much better. My best friend "miscarried" a while back. She was pretty badly shaken by the event, then I found out that she had to have an abortion because there was something very badly wrong with the fetus. She never told me about the abortion. She told me it was a misarrange. I've never mentioned this to her and I feel if she had wanted me to know *SHE* would have told me. I heard it from her sister and her mother and frankly it makes me feel a bit sick knowing it. It feels like I have learned something about her that she didn't want me to know. Like learning a secret. It feels a bit like a betrayal of our friendship. Is that weird to feel that way? Not wanting to know something about someone, because they don't want you to know it? It doesn't change how I feel about her, but it makes me feel sort of dirty. My friend did have a successful pregnancy later. He starts collage in the fall. Makes me feel old.
@@cassandraroseschmidt3486 Oooooh great point. If I'm ever in the market for another frame-like thing, I'll def check that out. Thank you for sharing the recommendation!!
Both my spouse and I have ADD. I bought us both Tile for Christmas. Life saver!! we have the keychain style, and the flat style designed to fit in a wallet.
@@MommingwithMigraine My mother was a May baby too. May 12. My Grandfather, (Walt I mentioned) was born the same day the Titanic sank. They used to joke that he was a Titanic not survivor. You know, if reincarnation is true, maybe that's why babies cry when they are born. They are just realized the failed to advance from their last life and they are starting over. If I died and the next thing I knew I was being reborn, I'd cry too.
Love your suggestions. The succulent idea makes me so excited to spruce up my own bathroom. I completely understand what you mean. Showers are difficult for me too.
@@MommingwithMigraine She is just to young to understand what they are. If she knew what they are she'd be really excited. Just wait a few years. You'll see. It's really fun when your kids are old enough to understand what Christmas is about.

Love this idea, especially for those of us with that guilt!
Gift idea for sick mom: A spa day with free all day baby sitting service.
You don't get a day off as mom. But sometimes, you just need a break.
I would be thrilled to take the cheap version: I sit on the couch with an electric massager all day and Brian delivers me food. Fathers day we switch. Lol!
@@MommingwithMigraine Well, that what your husband is for.
He sounds like a great guy.

Fresh air and a beautiful wall to look at from the floor 😅
@@MommingwithMigraine 😂😂😂

It's great hearing how excited they are when they see a new photo! It's the best part!

If you get an echo show you can use it as a digital photo frame. You can also set it up to have alexa find your phone.
I've never heard of the Show. I looked it up, it's like a little TV! Expensive. Seems fancy.
@@MommingwithMigraine prime day and black friday deals are great or snag an older model

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like "reincarnated." then clicked the "more" button and said the same thing. What a day to be born.

It's so great! Lmk how it turns out!! 💘🥰
At 8:06 Baby B looks *exactly* like Baby A!!!
Isn't it insane how much she's starting to look like big sis?!! People are gonna think they're *real* twins 😜
💕
💘
My mom and I are chronically ill and we love instacart. You can give a gift card or buy the groceries and send those as the gift!
I've never tried it but I've heard GREAT things. Thanks!
Clearly Baby B doesn't want any gift cards.
Doesn't even wanna hear about 'em.
