MerMay day four is sketched out, but it will have to wait. I somehow caught an awful stomach bug that completely wrecked me and left me dehydrated. My midwife, mom (Doula) and Husband all wanted me to be checked out. I definitely needed fluids. After my first pregnancy (#hyperemesisgravidarum ) I know when I’m dehydrated and need the extra help. It was the right choice. Go figure today is #nationalmidwifeday ...I have an amazing supportive wonderful midwife who knows about my anxiety about hospitals and helped remind me that THIS was not my birth. And that I was there JUST for fluids. Mama first, artist second. Always. Me and this little girl are safe though and I think I slept for a solid four ish hours as soon as we got home. #artistmama #noarttoday #mamafirst #dehydration #fluids https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGPJNUhZKi/?igshid=iu9vqdgr9tb

I love my muffin!! My son and I seeing Santa over the weekend!! Walking was something that used to be so hard for me and now it’s like I don’t even think about it. That’s the gift my #sleeve has given me. I live my life fully and I have my life back!! #christmasbliss #santaclaus #visitingsanta #vsglife #vsgsupport #sexymama #wlslife #wlssupport #wlssuccess #mamafirst #mindsetmama #mindsetiseverything #mindsetmatters #gastricbypass #gastricsleeve #weightlossjourney #weightlosssuccess #weightlosssurgery

@soundsofca sent me over this image from #behindthescenes of #ZoeyIreland's #meltdown at our last photoshoot w the message "Mamma 1st" and it is so powerful. No matter how many titles I take on or how many things I'm involved in...I'm a Mom first. That means it's okay to take breaks or cut a photo shoot short because a #tiredtoddler needs momma snuggles. That means it's okay to schedule piercing clients around naptime at @capitalinktattoo. That especially means Part of valuing my children and putting them first is to surround myself with people who also value my children. I truly appreciate the amazing souls I work with from the bottom of my heart for the encouragement and support in this balancing act ❤️🙏🏻 #tattooedmom #workingmom #mamafirst #bestjobever #businesswoman #thehollydoll #settingbounderies #trimthefat #keepthetrue
