For me, being a working mother, as hard as it is, is the only way for me. I feel as though my work is a lot more than just a job, and I am still the one raising my children...not "farming them out" as you say. It would be such a wonderful thing if all women could support one another in their chosen paths, rather than, no matter how veiled, attempt to tear them down.<BR/><BR/>markie~ Hi and welcome! I will check out your site and get to that tag :)<BR/><BR/>cnh~ Hope that you had a fast recovery, mastitis is the worst. As for the 4 kids and the home schooling? My hat, as I said, is off to you! Wow. I'm impressed. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>anon9/11~ Yes, the sling is a godsend. We use the baby bijorn and the Bean absolutely loves it. It allows me to get a lot more done, too. I hear you on being hungry on the time. I am a bottomless pit. Part of it may be the progesterone only pill I am on for birth control, too. Are you taking that?<BR/><BR/>Your "funny GI tract" description is *spot on!* That is exactly what Bean does, minus the puking. He does that a whole heck of a lot less than his sister, who had serious reflux<BR/><BR/>As for the "official" position on co-sleeping. Medically speaking, I follow the "proceed with extreme caution" approach, risks of SIDs, so forth and so on. Personally, um, well, Bean sleeps with us for now, dreamfeeding 1-2 times a night. We are planning to transition him to the crib at 3 months (eek that is next week!) but if that ends up meaning less sleep for me? He may come right back into bed with me. It is working for us, for now, too.<BR/><BR/>medstudentitis~ Hello! Life is hectic but good! Bean is 11 weeks, 11 pounds 13 ounces, and 23 inches long. He is perfect in every way. Cindy Lou adores him, and she is getting smarter and more beautiful every day. Life is good.<BR/><BR/>kissashark~ Hi and thank you so much! Hopefully I'll post more frequently in order to be "link-worthy!"<BR/><BR/>angela ~ Thank you, things are going well. The Bean is the sweetest, most laid back baby around, everyone in his room fights over who gets to take care of him, so I'd say he's adjusting to daycare far better than his mommy is to having him there!<BR/><BR/>scott~ Hee. Glad I could give you a laugh! I wish I could take credit for the name, but someone else took it upon themselves to call me that once. It stuck!<BR/><BR/>Dawn! I am so excited for you! Thank you so much for all of the updates, because I was thinking of you. Sorry to hear about your rough delivery, but I am so glad that the baby is perfect and happy and healthy. Congratulations and many blessings to you!<BR/><BR/>To those of you that left your email addys, I will try to write you this weekend. Thank you for the great comments.dr. whoo?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10315615480530297472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-47344203508700342802007-10-02T19:26:00.000-04:002007-10-02T19:26:00.000-04:00Hope you're doing okay...you must be very busy now...Hope you're doing okay...you must be very busy now back to work and with two children. Blessings! I don't know if I posted that I had baby Jillian, she's completely healthy. She was OP so the nurse had me pushing (at 9 cm) for one hour and a half. Thank God for the OB, he came in and finally did a check finding me complete but baby OP. He let me get up (nurse had me on my back having dips in the heartrate). After he let me squat and do other positions baby came out in about 10 minutes. This was my third nurse caught baby (because baby was high even though I was complete...). She was born in the bag of waters too. I didn't have an epidural, and this was by far my worst delivery...lots of pain and pushing early without an urge until the last two pushes. Just glad my baby turned and I didn't get a section! Best thing is baby is healthy.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you!<BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-50061058733645787812007-09-16T12:03:00.000-04:002007-09-16T12:03:00.000-04:00I had my baby 9/13/2007 and she's healthy!

Thank God for my OB who let me do what I was begging to do...get up! She flipped to head facing my bottom and was born in her bag of fluid with nurse catching though OB was 4 steps away from the door.

I could eat all day.<BR/><BR/>Get a baby pouch/sling. Once my little guy was a month I could put him in ours and he would sleep while I accomplished things. Now his four months and when wide awake likes his legs to dangle out.<BR/><BR/>We also had the funny GI tract. My little guy would wiggle. sqirm, wince, grunt and gurgle and then the tinest little fart would emerge and he would lay his head down exhausted. The he would promptly deposit curdeled milk everywhere-which the dogs seem to enjoy! He also had reflux but we were blessed to have zantac this time around unlike his 11 year old brother who screamed 10 hours a day. God bless the pediatric GI guy who figured that out.<BR/><BR/>what's the official ob/gyn kenobi stance on cosleeping? I have slept with both of my buggers-minus heavy blankets, pillows and with the bed against the wall, on the back-and it made those first few months bit easier. It's hard to get a straight answer as the research seems muddy but it works for us.<BR/><BR/>I too am amazed at stay at home moms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-65019625104785077782007-08-28T07:23:00.000-04:002007-08-28T07:23:00.000-04:00Ack! Sub OB gave me a rough internal (I'm 38 week...Ack! Sub OB gave me a rough internal (I'm 38 weeks yesterday by EDD) and I have had back pain and contractions off and on all night. I am a grand multipara, so I know I can labor a long time, and that mucous plug this morning can mean nothing. I did loose the dang thing all at once with my first and he was born the next day. I am home alone with 5 kiddos, so this is very mean if she did strip membranes and it is working, I did not want interventions...just a cm check! I know baby is sunny side up, and I never have back pain but I couldn't sleep last night with back pain. I have long labor, but go from 4-10 within minutes and had the last two without a doctor at the hospital (one with no one...my 4th born) as they checked and I wasn't complete. I am one of "those" who doesn't try to push anymore but baby just slips out. So, now I am worried I'm in labor and am two weeks early. Not so bad if my EDD is right, not too bad if it's off a week as it's usually okay at 37 weeks. Baby's measuring smaller, so I was wanting another week or two if healhty. All NST's are good. Sorry to ramble, but the nesting urge didn't kick in and my home is a mess...and I'm not ready right this minute for a baby. I was just thinking I was getting closer to being about a week from delivery, not just a day or two. Maybe I'll be one of the "wives' tales" full moon baby moms.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and yours!<BR/>Dawn (jawndoe)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-43218163819598894662007-08-27T23:41:00.000-04:002007-08-27T23:41:00.000-04:00I had the dreaded Boobie Disease this past weekend...I had the dreaded Boobie Disease this past weekend.

I am homeschooling and have been casually getting things done bit by bit to try to get ready, knowing full well I won't be. Ugh, I need to think ahead to Sept 25th and know I'll be in the midst of toddler, preschooler, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grader with newborn (and hopefully not a mother in law). On top of that I will want the kids to keep going on lessons. I am such a dreamer.<BR/><BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-86751757686821428942007-08-20T20:54:00.000-04:002007-08-20T20:54:00.000-04:00You sound like a very loving mother.

There are always frustrating times, but a mother's love gets you through those. Your idea of "clean" gets a little less strict and you realize that schedules are more for the working world than for mothers, but the rewards are undescribable. God gave those children to YOU to raise because you were the best one for the job, not to farm out to someone else. <BR/><BR/>God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-7977044592168854852007-08-20T15:12:00.000-04:002007-08-20T15:12:00.000-04:00Wowie.

Hat off to you!<BR/><BR/>Although our power doesn't go out as frequently as yours, we are running a business out of our home and can't afford to be completely without power. We finally installed a generator two years ago. What a relief! I recommend one, and in your case, like mine, it should kick on automatically so if the power goes out when you're not home you don't have to worry.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with everything!ccinnkeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427736565137202323noreply@blogger.com
