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

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...

Heart of the Matter

I am sick and do not know why. I have been dealing with some serious symptoms. I have always dealt with extreme fatigue but in the past 2 years it has become nearly debilitating. I find it hard to do simple things like grocery shopping or doing chores around the house or walking up the steps or putting my clothes on. I experience extreme fatigue with these activities and it usually takes me a day or two to recoup. I have dizziness, and heart palpitations. I have recently experienced chest pain. It wasn't until I started having chest pains during sex when I decided it was time to take a visit to the doctor. My doctor advised that this could be something related to my heart. Since visiting the doctor, I have had blood tests that show I am healthy and I recently did a stress test and 2D Echo that showed my heart was fine. I immediately felt like a fool and quickly reasoned that this was possibly in my head. I have an angiogram scheduled for tomorrow but I don't think anything will...

Worried Father

The other day, Desi, my husband and myself were at my cousin's house visiting her and her two beautiful baby girls. Of course, all of the toys there were girly toys. Okay, so you get where I'm going with this right? The grown ups were talking in the kitchen when, all of a sudden, Desi runs in holding a Dora doll and a barbie doll. My poor husband was visibly horrified by the scene. I gave him that reassuring look and when Desi left, I said, "honey, it's okay. He doesn't know any different." Chris shook his head and disapprovingly said, "No, honey, those are dolls. He's playing with dolls."  My cousin and I just laughed. At Desi's age, a little boy playing with "girlie" toys is not really an issue. They are attracted to the colors. Also, look at the circumstances, he was in a house full of chicks. At home, he is all into his cars, airplanes and trains. Desi is fine and so are all the other little boys in the world that may be attra...
