THIS IS REAL LIFE | Rough DITL of a New Mom

[@MeganAcuna]

Happy Monday! What should I do at my hair appointment on Friday? Planning on cutting and coloring and I’m vlogging that day!

[@emmamorford2800]

You should cut it up to your shoulders and go darker lol

[@MeganAcuna]

I’ve done that before (two christmases ago I think!) but I don’t think the darker suits me. It is very tempting to do the mom chop though

I LOVE how real you are even on the hard days. I love watching your videos as I’m a stay at home mom myself to my first baby. My son is 12 weeks old today.

[@MeganAcuna]

Congratulations!!!

That was so fun to watch you set up your camera for the family picture! A cool little behind the scene :)

I swear it’s the cutest outfits I put on my newborn that he spits up on 😂

Sooooo true!

Something I have been meditating on is engagement versus achievement. It’s been a powerful antidote to anxiety and the pressure we put on ourselves to produce tangible “results” in our everyday lives as proof of our value as people. A great question to ask is, “am I fully engaged in what I’m doing?” whether it’s snuggling with your baby, cooking, watching a show, or getting work done, you’ll find that engagement is the key to a better relationship with the day and with yourself. Through engagement, you feel YOURSELF through your activities, and it becomes less about what you are doing, but who you are doing it. It rewires the brain to associate taking action with a positive and attractive quality (versus the negative procrastinatory relationship with “doing”). I thought it was relevant to this beautiful video you posted and thought you would appreciate it! You are doing AMAZING mama!!!

[@MeganAcuna]

Love this! Being present is really hard for me but I find that practicing gratitude nterrupts anxiety!

[@DaizySamantha]

Thank you for being so honest! I became a mum 3 weeks ago and it's been so hard some days! Partly because I'm anemic after blood loss at the delivery and I'm soo tired! Love watching others in a similar situation and now I'm feeling more normal haha ☺️ xxxx

[@MeganAcuna]

I had a lot of blood loss during my delivery (well actually after because my stitches came open haha) and it SUCKS getting faint every time you stand haha! Hang in there 💛

Seriously this was my day on Saturday! I literally spent the day in baby boys nursery rocking him, maybe had 1 hour all day without him on me and literally didn't get to poop until almost 10 that night. Thank you for being real! It is nice to know you're not alone.

[@MeganAcuna]

Hang in there! I know how hard those days are. I hope today was better for you 💛

Would love it if you made a video of your planner like how do u plan to pay your bills to how you plan your daily schedule.

[@MeganAcuna]

Love this idea!!

[@donapettigrew8666]

This is a very VERY relatable video for me. Every bit of it. Down to the needing to poop while soothing baby lol. But especially feeling super anxious all day but enjoying the good moments. Needed this video honestly 💖

[@MeganAcuna]

You’re not alone! It’s a struggle some days but those good moments help a lot

[@minimalismwithmar1883]

Your videos make me so excited for my Baby boy due in February. I love your real ness and you’re a strong mama ❤️💙

[@MeganAcuna]

Aw I’m so excited for you! Congratulations!

[@Brianna-vr1xu]

Lol, the “I feel like I’m gonna poop my pants” is so relatable. I get stuck having to pee/poo when I breastfeed way too often 😂 On tough days, I try to remind myself to let go of what I expected the day to be, accept what it is, and love what it is. Has helped my parenting! Also... hello from Peanut 😊

[@MeganAcuna]

Love that mindset!

[@Itsbekahcharlene]

best vlog ever! Megan, LOVE the honesty!

Oh my goodness it was so cool to be able to see how you take photos with a self timer. I'm not sure if its available on all cameras but i have an app for my Canon Rebel DSLR. Basically i can see what my camera sees and use my phone as a remote to take the photo....instead of the self timer. :) Love your content. and yes i can understand how difficult it can be to be an influencer and a mom. I'm not a mom but i have played around with editing videos and its HARD. Haven't had the guts to make any of my videos public yet. lol

[@MeganAcuna]

Ooohhh I’ll have to check that out! What’s the app called?

I feel like I'm always in a productive groove and have to stop to feed all the lil humans lol... Doesn't help my most productive time is after 12pm usually. Adding baby #3 to the mix is going to be an adventure, a wonderful adventure... If u don't get organized it may be a traumatic adventure. Lol
