Food is so important. Especially when nursing- that blood sugar gets low and I’m a different person. Yesterday I just had to put baby in wearable carrier and let him fuss for 10 mins while I ate a quick lunch. It’s ok for them to cry for a minute while you meet your needs. Eating is necessary to be a patient, loving mom.

I needed a video like this so badly! Thanks you so much for this.

The food piece is so real! I didn't realize how much I was delaying meals or skipping snacks if my first was remotely upset. At 10-ish months, I couldn't believe I weighed less than my PRE-baby weight! I was super skinny, but super nutritionally depleted. After resolving this and learning it's okay to eat while baby is upset (rocking the bouncer with my foot or something) things improved. I had a few friends tell me later that I look healthy now and seemed frail/gaunt in that season. Part of me is like "Why didn't you tell me?!" and part of me gets them not wanting to make me more miserable than I already was. Anyway, nourish yourself!!

Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!! It is hard to eat when our babies are upset but it helps so much! If we feel better then we have more bandwidth to handle it all. So happy you were able to feel better!

[@rebekahquinley8093]

This is my exact experience. Baby is 10 months and I’m trying to figure out the weight loss. (Am I sick? Is this a weird perimenopause thing?)

[@SlumberandBloom]

I just found your channel and wanted to tell you that I LOVE what you’re doing for moms. This is such valuable information and I’m so glad you openly share!! ❤❤

[@jess_hover]

Thank you so much!!! 💛💛

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

I loved hearing about your kids in the beginning! ❤ Great start to a great video

[@jess_hover]

Haha thank you for appreciating that! The new room sharing situation has been chaos 🤪 I am not sure how to fix it yet! Haha

[@EvangelineEHayes]

This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing ❤️ I’m a mama of 3 boys (6, 4 and almost 1) and I’ve gotten so burned out… Finally this month I’ve decided to give myself the gift of health (for my birthday month!) and not feel guilty for doing things for myself that bring me joy/peace! Starting with no Instagram for the month (mental health) and also trying to move my body in some way 3 times a week… going on a walk, doing an easy workout to help heal my diastasis recti… and then also just telling myself it’s okay to do things sloooowly and sit with my boys and read and take our time and there’s no need to rush. ❤️

[@jess_hover]

Happy birthday month!!! I love this! Especially starting with a break from Instagram! So so healthy. Thank you for sharing 💛💛💛

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

I gave up instagram for my mental health and it helped so much! Stick with it at least a month!

[@countrybumpkin9896]

I love this Jess thank you. I’ve watched you for a while on and off and today started off ok and then things got super realistic out of nowhere 😂thank you for saying that if things are hard it doesn’t mean we’re bad at this ❤

[@cynthiaromero6468]

I have a 3.5 year old and a 5 month old. The only thing that is getting me by right now is knowing my 3 year old is about to start prek soon and I will finally have some time for myself.

[@jess_hover]

That will help so much! 🩷 It will get easier! Hang in there.

[@Everycloudgold]

Thank you for this Jess - I’m sure I had PPA / PPD with my first baby but I was afraid to look like I wasn’t coping. I’m now pregnant with number 2 and I’m so scared but want to equip myself as much as possible as I know i have a difficult season ahead. I value you and your videos so much xx ❤

[@jess_hover]

In my experience a lot was easier second time around because I had more of an idea of what to expect! I hope that is true for you too! Congratulations!! If you need more support you know where to find me 💛

[@RosssR]

Thank you so much for this video, this was so needed. I loved the first story too, I love you kept it on there, it's real life and that's so needed sometimes

[@jess_hover]

Aw thank you friend!! 🌹

[@TheCmc1994]

How did this get posted at the exact moment I needed it

[@jess_hover]

Aw that makes me happy! I hope it helps!

[@rfrazar]

Love you Jessica! Could you please share what you do with your brows?

I ❤ you girl

Watching this as I lay in bed while hubs plays with the kids because age 4 is kicking my BOOTY!

[@meleegarcia9051]

Hi Jessica, if we cant make the live calls will there be replays available?

[@jess_hover]

Hi! Yes there will be but they’re only available to be viewed anytime during the 3 day period!

[@daysofa28-year-old12]

I am listening to you discribing your kids, and I have only one child and it seems to me that she is very similar to Jules. I am a bit scared to have another one because of that, but are you saying that there are children that actually dont have huge tantrums if they dont get their way??? 😅 I had no idea that that would even be an option 😂

[@meleegarcia9051]

For the reset challenge?

[@Sophia-h1k4c]

I don’t know how people have time to have friends and kids. Even mom friends. My kids are on nap schedules that mean someone is always sleeping. How are you supposed to meet up with people who ALSO have napping children???

[@jess_hover]

Ugh I went through a stage where I felt that too! It felt like I always had one child napping. Everything changed when my kids got on the same nap schedule. Hang it there! Also making friends via the internet is a real thing! Maybe you could join a group like ours (Very Good Mothers Club) and connect via zoom while at home. I was really skeptical that it could help but I ended up making amazing friendships that way. sending love 💕

[@tacticalsapper]

@Jessica Could you please accept the possibilities that there are also fully dedicated dads. As you said, we live in 2024, this also includes our own prejudices.

[@jess_hover]

@@tacticalsapper My husband is a stay-at home dad and entirely dedicated. I am not sure what makes you think I don’t know that, I am just talking to moms who feel burned out in this video. 👍

[@tacticalsapper]

@@jess_hover Temporary burn out.

[@eleanor4759]

i love you sooo much jessica, wish we were friends irl 🩵✨🙏🏼

[@jess_hover]

Thank you!! That’s such a compliment. Honestly though - join Very Good Mothers Club! We can be! The group is still really small so I end up being real friends with the people who join the calls. Plus the other moms in there are soooo cool. No pressure, but if you’re available for it then we would love to have you!

[@eleanor4759]

@@jess_hover but I'm not a mom...I just love you as a person so I watch!
