Welcome

Welcome to Coffee and Coos!  I’m Alexandra, a wife and stay at home mom of two little boys.

I love sharing tips and tricks about pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and all things motherhood, and that’s what you’ll find here.  If I’ve searched for the answers on a particular topic, or stumbled on a great piece of advice, I’m writing about it!

So, grab your favorite mug, fill it up, and read up on all things mama.  From the truth about the first trimester, to everything you need to know about cluster feeding, I hope you find a little something worth reading.  No two babies, mamas, or experiences are the same, but I genuinely hope my experiences can help!

If you’re an expecting mama, check out the Oh Baby Pregnancy Planner and Journal.  After feeling a little overwhelmed by everything to do during pregnancy, I created the planner with another blogger to help moms simplify the journey to motherhood.  It covers everything from trimester to do lists, creating a birth plan, questions to ask your pediatrician, and much much more!  You’ll find 50+ pages that will help you stay organized through pregnancy and beyond.

And, if you’re nearing the end of your pregnancy, you can check out The Postpartum Handbook: A 4th Trimester Guide for Moms by Moms.  It helps you know exactly what to expect in the days and weeks following the birth of your baby.  We cover the things that most people don’t talk about like how to manage bleeding and vaginal pain, what to expect with postpartum sex, and smart ways to get healthy after baby.

If you find something you like, share it with a friend.  The more the merrier around here!  And, be sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.  I love to connect with other moms who are figuring this whole thing out, one day at a time.

Cheers!
