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...

Brown Tears

I prefer the color purple rather than the color pink. Purple is the color I like the most because I think it is beautiful. A month ago my son revealed his color preference and I wasn't prepared. It has taken me some time to think about whether I would write about this topic or not as it is pretty sensitive but in the end I feel like not writing about it would bring a constant nagging that would be hard to escape. About a month ago, my oldest son, Desmond asked me to place my hand up against his hand and I did not understand why. He analyzed his hand and mine and proceeded to say, "I wish I had you and Omari's color brown." My heart betrayed me and stopped. All my senses went numb. I couldn't believe what my wonderfully made son just said. I asked him why he felt that way and he said that my brown and his brother's brown was a better brown because it's lighter. I pushed past the ringing in my ear and lovingly asked him if someone at school was saying mean ...

Heart of the Matter - Pt. 2

In my last post I wrote about an issue I'm having with my health. Do we know what that issue is yet? No. The results came back regarding my heart and all is well. I have a healthy heart! I am so glad that those results were negative. However, the question still remains. What is going on with my body? I had a follow-up appointment with my primary care doctor last week and they advised that my latest blood test showed that my C-reactive protein levels and my sedimentation rate was really high. Which indicates that there is inflammation in my body. They are not sure what is causing the inflammation so they want me to follow up with the Rheumatologist. This is not the first time that I've heard that my C-reactive protein is high. Years ago, I was under the care of a different primary care doctor. I presented with the same issues and he did a blood test and said my C-reactive protein was high. He suggested I see an infectious disease doctor. Results for those tests (i.e  Lyme diseas...
