Hey Jenna,
Congratulations on becoming a mom! Can you even wrap your head around it? You just brought a tiny human into the world. That’s seriously incredible! I can’t wait to hear all about your journey and hopefully catch glimpses of it on your show!
Now, I know you’re probably swimming in a sea of love and joy right now, but I’d like to share a few tips—just a friendly nudge from one mom to another.
Baby’s Appearance
First off, while it’s summertime, keep in mind that babies are naturally supposed to be a little on the pale side. Sure, your little one might look a bit pasty right now, but don’t rush into the whole self-tanning thing. Who knows, you might even get lucky and see signs of jaundice! How wild would that be?
Hair Growth
Also, your baby may not have a full head of hair yet. That’s perfectly normal! There’s plenty of time ahead to style that adorable little tuft we’re all excited to see.
Scents
Now, when it comes to scents, I get the urge to make him smell fabulous, but hold off on the cologne for now. He likely has a delightful natural scent. Wait until he starts eating solids before you start dousing him in fragrances!
Postpartum Reality
You’ve just welcomed a baby, but I have a feeling you’ll be back on your feet pretty quickly! Just a heads up—you might experience some less-than-glamorous moments in the postpartum phase, so be sure to wear your underwear! Nobody wants to leave evidence of their uterine wall around town, right?
Best of luck to you, Jenna!
P.S. Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding is not a foolproof form of birth control. Just thought you should be aware!
