Testimonial for Robyn Bibb
"I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for a postpartum doula. All I knew was that I was having trouble getting out of my pajamas before 2pmand was going batty waking up every three hours to feed my twins, pump, make and clean bottles and try and fit in laundry once in awhile. Robyn walked into my front door and asked what would help me. That day it was a walk and laundry. Somehow, she managed to reorganize and separate all my twins' clothes and create a system to keep them tidy... all while she watched the babies while I got to shower and recuperate. Amazing in its own right. In addition to getting a bit of respite in that moment watching her in action reassured me that twin momming CAN be done, it just takes practice, and strong role models, like Robyn. She never critiqued or judged me at all, which made her easy to talk and be real with. When we walked, I was able to relax enough and ask the questions that I never felt I had the mental space to address: How do my husband and I keep a sane, somewhat tidy household while ENJOYING eachother and not feeling like every interaction is addressing the chore list, how do I return to intimacy, when do I start feeling that "Mama love" connection with my babies?
Robyn gave me theoretical and practical answers that we explored together (turns out having a million clothes and blankets just means you'll do more laundry!). After she left that day and after the next visit, I felt a newfound sense of perspective and weightlessness. One step forward in my Mama journey. Months later, I am still referencing her tactics and advice, and her services are my new go-to shower gift for expectant families.
