Coming to a Nursery Near You

Archive for March, 2007

My son has no ass. His itty, bitty butt doesn’t hold up his diapers lol

And it’s so hard to just let him lay there and sleep peacefully when he’s just this cute! LOL

and how CUTE are these adorable slippers that my sis & fam sent him? LOL I just found them in this GINORMOUS gift bag that she’d sent up before he was born LOL

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a
lullaby.

I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom – I had never been puked on.

Pooped on.

Chewed on.

Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could
do tests.

Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t
want to put them down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop
the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom, I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart
outside my body.

I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important
and happy.

Before I was a Mom – I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the
wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

This is why I continue to breastfeed

I made a baby sling this weekend. I’d done it with my daughter, but by the time I got around to using it, she was too heavy for me to carry around. I had wanted one to use with Zach but I refuse to spend the money they want for something that I’ll barely use as well. So I went online and found the instructions that I wound up not using LOL But it was helpful.

So here’s the cool part – we went to a Super WalMart this weekend and Zachary *hates* his car seat, so as soon as he wakes up, he’s screaming to get out. Hubby carried him for a while, but inevitably, it hurts his ribs, so finally it was my turn Because we don’t have a SuperWalMart closeby, this visit was gonna take a while. We position him in the sling. I walk around with him in there, and for a while, he was like “Hey, this is kinda cool” kind of cooing sort of thing going on. Finally, though, you could tell he was getting hungry. That little grunting that he does makes me nuts, so I’m thinking… how am I going to feed him? “Can’t you do it in the sling?” hubby says. Well, theoretically, yes… I could. I’ve used enough fabric so that he would be covered…

So, I reach under, pop out the boob and although it takes a few tries, I finally get him latched on. Now, I have ginormous boobs, so this isn’t so hard for me – those of you with those cute little perky boobs… yeah, you’re outta luck LOL But for us, it worked. At least for a while – until he was at least not starving anymore – then he was done, I put everything away and we were able to continue on with our shopping adventure. LOL I was quite proud of myself!
