Almost one year

I can't believe my baby is growing so fast, he will be 1 on the 29th...AGHHHH! I just wanted to say thanks to all who post, I love all the past advise and look forward to the future posts!

Good Morning Mommy, I love you!

My son is 10 months old and maybe it's because I'm his mom, the cutest baby ever. This morning is my example of why! We had a rough night last night, (he still doesn't sleep all the way through the night, but I have been getting 6 hours in a row) He was up 3 times between 12 and 6 am.... yuck! Then this morning I hear him making the cutest noises in his crib, so I peek to see this cute little boy. He is all smiles and reaches up for his mom with Blankey in one hand and Paci in mouth, you could see the big grin past the paci, I give him a good morning squeeze which usually make my horrible nights sleep all worth it,

WHEN......

I smell it, I feel it, and it stinks! That's right ladies BLOW OUT! Up the back, out the legs, you name it! He was so proud of himself, I was trying to not get it everywhere, it was almost up to mid back, so as I was trying to not make him swim in it, but he was kicking and twisting, and of course his new favorite, love to check with his hand to make sure all privates are there and accounted for!

AAHHHH!!!

Well, that's how my morning started, and yet I love him still! Hope you have a great day!

Baby Blues....

I just needed to know, of all the women who read this blog, how many got "the baby blues" and for how long? With my first child, I went into a depression so bad the Dr. medicated and counseled me... that lasted over a year. Now with my son turning two months I'm finding it harder and harder to get out of bed and shower. I'm nervous, does this happen to all moms, is it just me? Am I horrible for feeling this way when the people close to me (my sister) are struggling with a loss, and I can't even deal with my issues? HELP

Bed Rest...What's that?

So I am now 32 weeks prego and have been put on bed rest, not to be mean, but yeah right! What really is bed rest, is there such a thing, and in a 12 hour day just how many are we actually supposed to rest. I mean if kids, the house, food , and the husband all take care of them selves, then yeah maybe, but those are just dreams right? any suggestions?

How to stop the "Boobie"

Do any of you have tips on how to wean my daughter?  She is 19 months old and is currently down to two feedings a day.  If it were up to her, it would be two feeding every hour.  She loves the "boobie" and asks for it frequently.  She nurses right before she goes down for her nap and before bed time.  Sometimes Aaron will put her down for bed, thus getting me out of that feeding.  But lately she screams for me when he picks her up to go read/go to bed.  I HATE her crying and wish this was just something I could change over night.  I love nursing her but I know that is has to stop at some point, especially if I want a third child.  If I could get pregnant (not that I'm trying April, I promise) while nursing, I would.  How does that happen anyway?  

I weaned my oldest around 18 months but at least she had a passifier, or "bobble" (it's what she calls the pacifier-don't ask me why) to calm and soothe her.  Coral doesn't take a passifier or bottle.  She is a total boobie girl and only wants her mommy.  Oh what do do?????

Biting Dilemma

I hope this isn't too personal for any of you, but I have a bit of a problem. So my little Ellie is 11 months and I am still nursing her. I love nursing and would like to keep it up for a little while longer. The problem is that Ellie has started biting me when she finishes each side. It hurts like crazy and makes me so I tense through out the whole feeding! I have told her no, and gently tapped her cheek, but the biting continues. Any thoughts, ideas, insights?
