Becoming a parent means trying to make everything #BetterForBaby.

July 21, 2015 in All things Baby..., Parenting, Uncategorized

Those 2 sneezes really happened, followed by a trip to the pediatric emergency room, where after a few hours of waiting I was told by a doctor that it was nothing to worry about, my baby just sneezed. Lol, no cold, no flu, no pneumonia - just a couple of sneezes. I was relieved and a little embarrassed but it was a learning experience because that doctor took the time to educate me about RSV. Becoming a parent means trying to make everything #BetterForBaby. Disclaimer: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with DiMe Media and Pampers.  All opinions are 100% mine. Every child change the lives of those who love them, it’s a given. Each of my children have changed my life in unique ways. From the first child turning me into a Mother, to the last one who beat every single obstacle that came his way.
