Central Ohio Postpartum Together Updates

Published 8 days ago • 1 min read

Hello lovely Central Ohio friends!
A few quick reminders or nuggets of info for you!
​
1. Go put some sunshine on your face today.
​
2. Put your earbuds in for this new episode of the podcast that is surely going to unlock something in you (If you were at a Babies and Bumps event, you heard us talk a lot about this concept!)
​
3. Our next Mom Brew Crew is Saturday, September 20th at Land Grant. We will have a fun giveaway from The Educated Pelvis and a kids' activity run by Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency. Please RSVP here so you can get any last minute updates on the event page.
​
4. We are hosting a workshop this Sunday (September 14th) specifically for expecting couples. We know how valuable it is to give couples a specific space to strengthen their relationship skills before a baby is in the mix, so if you know anyone who is expecting and cares about keeping their relationship strong, please share away!
​
5. If you love a good resale of baby and child clothes, The Columbus Mothers of Twins Club has their Fall + Winter sale coming up on Sunday September 21st in Lewis Center.
​
6.The week of October 6th, we will be starting with a new group of couples. Have you thought about what you’re missing when you’re both too overwhelmed to connect? (Schedule time to talk to us about it here.) ​

Do we have diapers in the next size up? When was the last time I rotated the baby’s clothes? Don’t forget to thaw the milk before tomorrow’s appointment… —the endless mental tabs that keep a household running but often fall on one parent...

Don't tell the rest of the email list, but the Central Ohio crew is my favorite. Truly, though, there's something about in-person community that you just can't get online. Seeing someone's body language, making eye contact, seeing and hearing their voice, maybe even a "are you a hugger because I feel like we're friends now." Parenting is hard. Parenting without a strong support of people in your life who get it feels impossible. That's why a branch of our mission at Postpartum Together is...

Hey friend, Ever feel like every little conversation turns into a standoff after baby? 👉 One of you wants to hash it out right now. 👉 The other pulls away and goes quiet. And the harder you push, the further apart you get. It’s not that you don’t love each other. It’s that you have different processing styles.
