Taking Care of Yourself After Having a New Baby


Congratulations on becoming a new mom! It can be a very challenging and tiring time, but there are several things you can do to stay rested and energized.


Sleep when the baby sleeps: This is a common piece of advice for new moms, but it's true. Try to nap or rest when your baby is sleeping, even if it's just for a short period.


Ask for help: Don't be afraid to ask your partner, family members, or friends for help with the baby or household chores. Having extra support can help you get some much-needed rest.


Take care of yourself: Make sure you're eating well and drinking plenty of water. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, as they can interfere with your sleep.


Create a relaxing environment: Make sure your bedroom is comfortable and quiet. Consider using earplugs, an eye mask, or a white noise machine to help you sleep.


Get some fresh air: Spending time outside can help improve your mood and energy levels. Even just a short walk can make a big difference.


Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that help you relax and recharge, such as reading, taking a bath, or practicing yoga.


Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take time for yourself. Taking care of yourself will not only benefit you, but it will also help you be a better parent to your little one.

The Discord

“The Discord” shows the battle between males and females for control and rights. They are shown fighting over a literal “pair of pants” in a tug of war between males and females. The males in “The Discord” are on the left, not fully dressed, neither of the two men are wearing pants and one even seems to be wearing a slip or skirt. The females on the right are fully dressed in dresses, and one of the women appears to be wearing a pair of pants under her dress. This painting is showing the power struggle between men and women in family and society in general. The painting shows how both sides feel about the issue.  The women want what they feel is basic rights. The men appear to think the women are asking for too much, since they are already fully dressed and they still want the pants. The man in the middle of the cartoon says he would “Rather die! than let my wife have my pants” and that a man should always be the “ruler.” (Heppenheimer). The woman in the middle says “Woman is born...

The Atlanta Child Murders

The Atlanta child murderer, Wayne Williams, killed at least 23 people, mostly young black children.   Initial profiles of the killer claimed that the murders were perpetrated by a white racist person.   In fact, the killer was a young black man, and a member of the very community that he terrorized.   He spent a considerable amount of time building relationships with his unsuspecting victims, offering the older victims a promise of a job.   Once he had the perfect opportunity, he would drug his victims, and then asphyxiate them once they were incapacitated.   He would often leave the victim’s bodies is sexually degrading positions (Keppel & Birnes).
