Morning In The Life Of A First Time Mom

We ran out of coffee beans last night so we had to order coffee today. Such a bummer but anyway this is a delicious cinnamon cream cold brew from Better Buzz. I'm so sad that we had to order this but at least it's really good. Guys we like to wake up before Raji because it gives us a little bit of time to just get ourselves mentally ready for the day and then it's also nice because Roger and I just get to spend some time together. Raji has been sleeping so good and it's really nice that his schedule's a little bit more predictable because it allows for us to plan our days a little bit more. I used to wake up literally like 20 minutes if that before Raji and it just didn't feel like enough time for me to get myself in mom mode you know. I feel like I am such a better mom and a better wife and just all-around person when I have more time in the morning to just be at peace and read my book and do my bible study. I just feel so much better. He wakes up at like 7 7 30. I will say last week that was not the case. Last week he was waking up at 5 45 in the morning every single day and I was like no I am not prepared for this. I can wake up at 6 a.m that gives me a whole hour before he wakes up we're good but 4 45 in the morning absolutely not. So I was a little bit worried but thankfully we got him back on his routine. Fingers crossed because they say that you're not supposed to talk about the way that your kid sleeps and I don't know why I'm doing it right now because this was just last week. He woke up this morning at 5 in the morning. He did! That's right. And then I had to sing to him this morning. Yeah he woke up at. I had to sing. He is so cute. I love my baby. He's the best baby. That's the number one song in the Scott family house. Our boss just woke up and I am making his bottle. I cannot believe it. Raji has officially graduated to sippy cups which is so crazy. He's growing up so fast. He's 11 months and I was just curious. I wanted to see how he would do without the bottle because I do know that once they turn one you're supposed to take it away so I was like okay might as well just get ahead of this and see how he does and thankfully he absolutely loves his sippy cup. I think it's because it's really familiar. We're continuing to use his Dr. Brown glass bottles. We just buy these little sleeves so that it's easier for him to hold. We replaced the top with this sippy top. It's super cool. You can close the lid, shake it and then boom it's like a regular bottle but it's a sippy cup. Thankfully Raji has adjusted to this super well. I wasn't expecting it to be honest with you. I thought he was going to fight it a little bit but he actually really loves it. I think he loves the independence of holding it. I saw some people asking if it was hard for him to carry because it's glass. We do have the plastic ones as well. Those are super easy for him to carry but I haven't noticed it being difficult for him at all. Let's go give our little buddy a bottle. Good job. Gosh it's so cute. Can Raji say baby? Mom. Mom? Oh wow. Where are you saying baby? Can you say baby? Baby. Baby. I love the sunblock. I feel like it just gives me a nice even tone and I love this Tatcha mask. I wear it all the time. Day, night, doesn't matter. Middle of the day. This is my absolute favorite. I've been really thinking about getting my lashes lifted and tinted. If you guys have any experience with that please let me know how it went for you because I've been looking into it and I'm loving the results. Yeah. He's really talking today. It's so cute. I feel like out of nowhere he's just growing so fast. I've been looking into it and I love the idea of just waking up looking good. I'll let you guys know if I decide to do it but it sounds like a great idea. He's being silly. I wonder where he gets lift from. Raji does this thing where he goes oh wow. Whoa. All the time. Yeah that's his new thing that he does and it is literally the cutest thing in the country. We're going on a family walk this morning. This is my OOTD. Beyond Yoga sets. I've said this so many times but I feel like it needs to be said more because they are incredible. I've worn them through postpartum all the way to now. They are just so good. I feel like they hug you in all the right places so anytime anybody asks me what's the go-to postpartum outfit I like these sets. They're just so cute put together and they are super comfy as well and I'm wearing my super puff because it's chilly outside and then this cute LA hat. I think I got it from Aritzia or Amazon. I'll link everything below. Now we're gonna get some miles in. You ready buddy? So cute. I wanna walk. How cute is Raji's little outfit? His puffer and these adorable joggers. Everything is from Old Navy. Usually his clothes are I feel like they have the cutest clothes for baby boys. Wow that's a gorgeous voice you have. Raji look there's goats. Oh what was that buddy? Is that a goat? Raji was getting fussy so we started to run and we realized that he liked it so now we're jogging. I don't know why we started to do this. Okay I think he's happy now. We gotta go out right? No I think we're good here. In all seriousness I'm kind of glad that we're doing this because it's making me realize how out of shape I am. Which like I had an idea because I haven't worked out as much as I would have liked to at this point postpartum but I keep reminding myself that I'm literally just This is my first time being a mom and being responsible for a tiny human and I'm doing my best. And Raji's literally crushing life. He's a superstar. He's the best baby in the world and if that meant me taking a year to just really focus on him and maybe put myself last every now and then, I'll get it. We did it! Yay! Go buddy! Raji's making Raji breakfast. We got two eggs and a banana on the menu today. His favorite. If you know what better way to clean these please let me know. I promise they're clean. They're just crazy stained. We need to look into how to fix them. I did hear that there's even a proper way to start cooking with them. You should like heat the pan up I think or something before. I know I don't know what to do so we're gonna look into this and hopefully figure it out because they look so bad. Are you ready for breakfast, buddy? Yeah, open, open. Oh my gosh, what a good bite, buddy. Okay, buddy, hands on the wheel. Yeah, you ready? You're so fast, Raji. Go, baby! Good night, Raji. And now mom and dad are having some breakfast. He's having a breakfast sandwich with egg whites, sourdough, and mozzarella cheese. Also, how cute are these plates that I found on Amazon? I am obsessed with them. Judge your boy. Little oatmeal, eggs on the same plate. You know it's not that crazy because your yolk isn't runny. If it was runny and it was running into your oatmeal, that would be terrifying. Our boss is still sleeping so I thought it would be the perfect time to go and get my nails done because they look crazy. I found a couple inspo photos. I saw this and I was like, oh, I need to get this. I'm obsessed. But then I saw this and I was like, wait, it is February. It is about to be Valentine's Day somehow. I don't know. Mentally, I feel like I'm still in the year 2024 but apparently it's 2026 and I kind of want to do something fun and festive. Last year, I got these nails and I had anxiety the entire time. I liked them but I didn't love them and I was like, I do not want these nails to be the nails that are in my birth photo. My labor and delivery and newborn photos. Like, I don't want to look at these every single time that I look at those photos. And the whole month, I was anxious because I was like, why did I do this? Especially for me. Like, these are probably like the craziest outlandish nails I get. Those were like way far out there. I think this year, I want to go for something neutral. Not that I'm giving birth so it doesn't matter but I don't know. We're gonna make up for last year so let's get some cute Valentine's nails. I love them so much. I did cute little hearts for Valentine's Day. Just pretty and neutral. Oh my gosh, I cannot skip over what just happened in the nail salon. So, Roger and I ordered new cards which was tricky because we also got new phones. In order for me to continue using Apple Pay like I've been doing, I needed the code on the back of my car which was no use because we had to order new cards. So, Roger opens up the mail. We're so excited. We have our card. They just sent Roger's card. I have no cards. Like, it's fine. Before I leave, I'm like, oh, I have no money. I have no Apple Pay and I have no cards. Roger's like, just take mine. It's gonna be fine. I'm like, you're right. I go to pay and of course, it's not working. So, I call Roger in a frenzy and I'm like, babe, it's not working. He's like, that's weird. It should be working when we call. So, he calls. They're like, nope. Like, everything is fine. The card's activated. You should be good but for some reason, I'm not good and it keeps declining. So then, she's like, do you have Venmo? I'm like, I do but it's linked to my old card. So then, she's like, we have Zelle. I'm like, perfect. Let me Zelle you. Well, I have a new phone. So, I have to re-get into my Zelle. Come to find out, my number is not on our Zelle. It's only Roger's number that's on the Zelle which doesn't make sense to me because I know that I've Zelled before. So, I'm like, okay, whatever. Let's just send the code to Roger so I can get into the Zelle. I can't get a hold of Roger. I'm like, babe, what are you doing? I'm calling over and over. He's not answering. Finally, he does. I'm like, babe, are you seeing my text messages? Give me the freaking Zelle code now. This is embarrassing. He gives me the code. Mind you, during all of this, the service is going in and out. So, I'm like, hi, sorry, can I get the Wi-Fi? Like, just, this is somebody who has social anxiety's worst nightmare, by the way. Like, this might not be a big deal to you if you don't have social anxiety but for me, I'm like, actually shaking in my boots. I'm like, I just want to go crawl in a hole right now. Then, the code works. It's like, one more thing to validate your identity. Send a photo of your ID. I'm like, no, I can't because I'm not Roger Scott, okay? I can't send you a photo of my ID. So, I'm at my wits end. I find this old. I'm like, okay, this is my last hope because I already asked if I could, like, go home and figure it out and she's like, no. I was like, fair, fair. I could just, like, totally not be you. Like, I get it. I need to figure this out. This is my last hope. The only other hope is calling Roger down here, which, like, that's just embarrassing. Like, I look like a child. Let me just get my daddy here to pay for my nails. Daddy, no, I'm kidding. I'm like, you're Travis Scott. So nervous that it's not going to work. I'm holding my breath the entire time. By the grace of God, it goes through. Thank you, Jesus. That was so embarrassing. Anyway, it was all worth it. These nails are so freaking cute. Now, I'm going to go inside and just pretend like that did not just happen. Did you go crazy? Kind of for me. They're like neutral with a little bit of a pop. What do you think? What do you think, Roger? You like my video? Okay. Yeah, okay. Oh, okay. You like it? Cute, huh? That's amazing. I love that so much. Oh, yay, good. You know, in this moment, will you be my valentine? I will be. Oh, she said yes. We're putting all of Roge's stuffed animals together, and we're realizing that he has quite a bit. And this is his favorite little book called Baby Baby. But I would say that the monkey might be his favorite. Yay. All right, guys, we're going to conclude the vlog here. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us and for watching. What a day. And we'll see you guys at the next vlog.
