Author's Note :: When this article was originally written, the semaglutide compound was obtainable through Canadian pharmacies. According to news sources and my doctor who was able to get me the Ozempic compound from Canada, shipments from the country are now limited to preserve the drug for their country. I am now scrambling to find another option to continue my weight loss journey including looking for the compound made in the States, even if that means paying a heftier price tag. Why won't this pandemic weight come off? I, like a lot of people, gained the "Covid-19."

The first night of sleep training was rough. 42 total minutes of crying with mom popping in and out of the room to comfort my baby girl. I kept telling myself, I'm doing this for her and for me! We both NEED sleep. Now, I can honestly say hiring a sleep coach was one of the greatest things I ever spent money on as a mom. Every night, we have a bottle, bath, jammies, story, zipped into sleep sack and my daughter is laid in the crib. She falls asleep independently and sleeps a glorious 11-12 hours each night.
