Re: How To Get Noticed, Even When You Don’t Want To.

Ha! Love this. I have been known to leave in my "house shoes" & pj pants. Of course now my pj pants have become sweats & yoga pants that I attempt to claim aren't really what I slept in & am now in public in but, well, I am not very good at that claim.

Poor guy, those eyes do kill ya. We've had to go that too, but on their backs. It was not fun. Although good to know what can bother them or worse be a severe problem BUT still it's NOT fun :(

Re: Early Morning Writing Convert

I write in the morning, but not super early mostly because I just can't think clearly that early. Same with later in the evening, my brain is mush at a certain time on most days. So I'm no help. At. All. But I did want to say isn't silence golden :)

Happy Anniversary!!

I know you wrote before (when I wrote about my own struggles after my 4th) about how difficult it was the first time around & now you have this difficulty. But there is hope! And while I don't have any good words of wisdom (because really I don't know why these things happen)I'm praying for you & here to listen.

I wish I could nap like that too! It's also so adorable when you see them cashed out like this.

I agree that it is a wonderful creative outlet & everyone needs some sort of outlet, especially after a large life change. AND motherhood is definitely a large life change! Good luck reaching out more too, it's a great experience to meet new people :)

I'm continuing to pray for your little girl! She's already showing you what a strong girl she is.

I'm also going to say some prayers for your friend & her partner, I cannot imagine waking up to that.

Keira does bring something more, but I agree curvier shapes do seem to fit the time period better.

Re: National Preparedness Month 2010: Is Your Child’s Preschool Prepared?

bethakaconfusedhomemaker — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:56:01 -0000

When my kids were in the parish school last year they did prepare & go over (age appropriately) what to do in emergencies. It was really positive information for them to learn.

Re: Mom Blogging? Threat to Homeland Security?

Dude, I was detained with my (then boyfriend) husband once crossing the border. He was driving, was asked what the plate # on the car was, it was MY car & he didn't remember right away. Guess what? We were flagged & detained. We had our entire car, which was packed for a vacation, unpacked & it took more than an hour. It wasn't scary, it wasn't a big deal, but it was a pain.

Your nipples with breastfeeding should never get cracked or bloody. They may feel a little sore from engorgement & just getting use to baby, but it should be mild if it's more than mild & more than a few days than there is a problem with how the baby is latched on or something else (like thrush). Same goes for cracked or bloody. I've breastfeed 4 kids, never had a problem with bleeding or cracking nipples. Did have some minor soreness with #1 mostly but that was how the baby was latched on or engorgement with milk. If you are going to nurse get: lanolin (for your nipples you can put it on before nursing), a brestfriend pillow (big help in getting latch correct & supporting you), The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (it's a good support book), & remember to take it day by day. The hospital may have someone on staff as well to assist you in learning how to properly latch baby.

Also, contact Le Leche League (even if just online) you can find out info on what medications have been found acceptable to take during breastfeeding. It may be you have more medication options than you think. There's been some recent research showing lithium even in lower levels can be used cautiously.
