Just can’t get enough of this kid ❤️ #deanthebean

I went back and forth not knowing if I should post this or not, but I have always been open about my medical journey and thought this might help other Mom’s out there struggling as I have. In 2018 I graciously earned a new title, Mom. I love Dean the Bean more than I could ever imagine. Being a Mom is something that I wear with a badge of honour and pride but it also hasn’t come with the Insta-worthy stories I see, there has been lots of tears, and mastitis twice (can we just take a minute for that pain). A few months ago I was diagnosed with postpartum . It was something that was absolutely terrifying. My feelings and hormones overwhelmed me every moment of every single day and my anxiety skyrocketed. It felt like I was sinking. I often felt so broken. I had so much tape holding me together it wasn’t even funny. I heard of others, friends of friends who were also diagnosed and struggled but never anyone in direct contact. I often looked all over the Internet for personal stories of other moms who have also been diagnosed to find some sort connection and know it is okay and this is something that happens. I ended up going to the doctor and got myself sorted and am doing much better now. I guess what I am saying is, if you are a new mom or a mom in general and struggling know that I am here and I have been there and can relate to your scotch tape, holding togetherness. If you need an ear or some wine text, call, message or anything. #postpartum #postpartumanxiety #postpartumawareness #deanthebean

Happy 31st birthday to my rock, my ride or die, my jokester and my Siddy. I am so honoured to keep doing life with you and my heart is so full each and every day watching you grow as a father as we raise Dean the Bean together. Wishing you the happiest of Birthdays ❤️
