Most healthy kids don't need one — and I'll say that out loud even though I'm an affiliate. What ChatGPT got right, what it glossed over about gummies, and why all three of mine take one after my daughter's RSV hospitalization.

It's not the supply lists — it's the invisible list that lives in your head from July to Labor Day. The exact AI prompts I use to hand off the remembering, and the one part I'd never automate.

What to buy in those final weeks, the belly bands and compression socks worth having, nursing-friendly clothes to start collecting, and my biggest piece of advice: aim to be ready by 35 weeks, not 40.

The honeymoon trimester is real — here's how to use it. Maternity clothes actually worth buying, getting your pump through insurance, the workouts I loved, and how to get organized before third-trimester chaos hits.

Just found out and spiraling on Google at 2am? Step away. What actually helped across three first trimesters: morning sickness relief that worked, the skincare to stop, resources I trust, and how to protect your peace.

The honest version of those first weeks: how to handle visitors, what to actually do with a newborn all day, where baby should sleep, and how to protect your sanity when you're running on no sleep.

I breastfed all three and combo fed two. Latch issues, supply anxiety, flange sizing nightmares, and the guilt around supplementing — plus what to actually buy, how to pump going back to work, and why there are no rules here.

The real real: the supplies you actually need, what's normal, what scared me, and what I wish I'd known. Including the blood clot that made me think I was dying (it was normal) and recovery across three very different births.

What I packed across three deliveries — for mama, for papa, for baby — plus the insider things nobody tells you until it's too late. From when to ask for the epidural to taking everything they'll let you take home.
