Oh, So That's How This Works!

Okay, so I am pretty new to this blogging thing. I have been wondering why I haven't had any traffic on my blog posts. I was starting to wonder if the whole world thought I was boring! Anyway, I figured it out.

My little bambino is 6 months old now! My how time flys! He is at this point where he is really clingy. I can hardly get anything done around the house. I am also having a problem getting him to sleep on his own. I often have to lay down with him and nurse him to sleep. I love nursing, but I would like for him to soothe himself to sleep. I have been given a pleathora of suggestions and have tried them. I really don't like the "cry out" method. Every baby is different and my son cannot handle crying it out. He looks so anxious when I just leave him in his bassinet or crib. I can't just ignore that. I have been reading what others think about it on the web and some say "cry out" is the best way to go. Others say it is cruel or it doesn't work. I don't think it is cruel, but I do think that it is not helpful for baby. I mean, a baby is used to being held. He has been held in the belly for 9 months. Why should that change now that he is out in the world? I know a child has to learn to grow in their own space, but I don't know about making him cry for long periods of time in that space. If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Please comment to this blog.
Okay, on another note, I was checking out this site that was promoting a book called "Prince Or Princess? Choosing Your Baby's Gender Before Conception." It was written by a midwife. I was actually discussing this very topic with 1 of my friends a few months ago. She swears by it! She tried it with her second and got her girl! It teaches you how to choose the gender of your baby. There is no medication involved. Everything is natural. This book goes over specific foods the mom-to-be should eat to have a boy or girl, it goes over different sexual positions that will produce a boy or girl, etc. It's a credible site. I plan to buy the book whenever my husband and I decide to have our second child (we would like a girl). Feel free to check out the site by CLICKING HERE .

Alright, I gotta go. Doodie calls! Sleep tight all.

Poop Catcher

By
Hello!! I've been gone for a while, but for good reason. I was studying for my state exam for my insurance license. I passed! I am now licensed to write and sell auto and home policies. Woo hoo! So I got my life back. Hubby was so great during this time. He took care of everything and supported me tremendously. Now, Desi was supportive as well. He would join in on my studies. "Want to study with chew mommy," he would say. When I passed, he said "Good job mommy! So proud of you!" (of course daddy coached him). It just warmed my heart. Anyway,  I have to share this hilarious story with you all. One night, earlier last week, we are trying to get Desi to poop in the toilet.  He just refused to sit his little butt down on the seat. We knew he had to poop, so we really wanted him to get on the toilet. My husband was speaking with his mother on the phone and she heard the commotion. She suggested that we just let him go pamperless for the night before going to bed. T...

So Emotional

By
I am all over the place this week. My emotions are running wild and my eating is out of control! No I'm not preggers, I'm just trying to put up with a visitor (ya'll know what I'm talking about). I wish I could take a vaca with myself during these times because I hate being around people. I can be mean. The men of my house experience my wrath more than anyone else. My poor Desi was so mad with me today because I was so impatient with him. He said, "tell my daddy on You! I told him to go on and tell his daddy. He just seems to pull on that nerve a little more around this time. Not only do I have to deal with a visitor today, I have to deal with allergies! My eyes are swollen, I can't breathe and I feel like if I sneeze one more time I'm gonna scream. With all of that being said, my poor baby didn't really have fun with mommy today. We fussed at each other all night. I felt like I wanted to cry because all I wanted was a little break and I couldn't ...

Food Fight!

By
My child won't eat dinner! Should I be offended? LOL! I mean, is my cooking that bad? He will nibble on the food and start playing with it. Next thing I know, it's on the floor and the dog is eating it, or Desi is sneaking the edibles under the tray of his high chair. Chris and I will tell him to eat and he turns his nose up and says a big "NO." We never had this problem with him before, so I don't know why he is not interested in eating all of a sudden. I am starting to worry a bit because I don't think he is getting all the nutrients he needs. However, a friend of mine told me that when her son was around Desi's age, she had the same issue with him. Her doctor told her not to worry. He told her that if she could get him to have a teaspoon of food per his age (2 teaspoons for a 2 year old), he will get all the nutrients he needs. I will try that, but, first, how am I going to get him to open up and eat the food? He's a pretty stubborn one. He got th...
