My mood while writing this blog: Blessed!

~*Ok well things are getting back to normal I guess you can say! Jackson fits right on in to our big family! He is doing great! Since the last time I wrote we have got ahold on the breastfeeding and everything! I am starting to learn his crys now and that has made a huge change! when I thought he was crying b/c he wanted my breast truns out to be he just wants to be close to me! Before I would feed him burp him he would fall asleep and I would lay him down to go take care of the kids or the house cleaning! Well I guess he demands his time with me just as much haha! So now when he gets upset I pick him up and just cuddle him (Not try to put him to sleep) just love on him and talk to him and what not and it takes a few secs to clam him down (kinda like he is fussing at me lol) but when I do he starts smiling in his sleep! He just looks at me like he already loves me more then anything! He now eats on just one breast ever 2-3 hours sometimes 3-4 but mostly every 3 hours for 40mins or less and then he unlatches when hes full! He even lays around and looks around at things now and oh man he loves the christmas tree!!! He is also doing better at night! Wakes every 3 hours to feed which is just fine with me! I can't believe how easy breastfeeding is now! I'm sooooo glad I didn't give up! I wanted this so much! He goes back to doc this week for a weight check to make sure he is still gaining! He has started to spit up somewhat bad so please everyone pray it's not GERD and he won't have to go through what my other children have! Ok now to something that is going on with me! I was planning on getting my tubes tied as I am done with having children! My body can't handle another hard pregnancy! This Feb will be 4 years since my cancer and I have already had 3 babies and m/c one! But now I'm starting to rethink the whole tubes tieing deal! Not b/c I want more children I DONT! I'm just not sure if I'm ready to not be able to ever have anymore! I'm 24 years old and pretty much have years left to have more children if I for whatever reason do change my mind! I don't think I will ever change it but I don't know what 10 years from now will bring! My parents and hubby and pretty much everyone around me keeps saying you better get them done and blah blah! I'm now starting to feel pushed into it and I'm the type of person if you tell me to do something I wont! It was me that 1st make my mind up to get it done but the more I think about it the more I don't wanna do it! I'm thinking about getting the 10 year IUD done! I haven't told my family about this which they are gonna flip out on me so I'm asking everyone else what are your thoughts on this? think about it real hard if you were 24 married for going on 6 years have 5 children and ur body is very weak but your not sure if you will regret it would you do it? I know it's up to me and all but I'm sooo confused! Also if I get this done will it hurt my brerastfeeding? I mean during the surgery how am I gonna do that I really dont want to give him a bottle as we are doing sooo well with latching on now! And then the pain after the surgery will I be able to hold him right to breastfeed? And what about pain pills? Or being put to sleep? I go back to doc on the 15th so I will be asking her these questions but I want to me thinking about all this (pros and cons if you may) before I go in b/c she will be setting the date for it when I go! Any info or thoughts wouyld help tons!!!!!! Well other then that things are great!!!*~

I would go with the IUD if you have any doubts. A tubal reversal is very expensive and your chances of concieving after are reduced. If down the road you decide you don't want any more little ones then get the tubal done. It's your body and your decision to make, don't let anyone pressure you into something you aren't ready to do.

well I don't know how reversible it is if you got a tubal done, I would get the IUD, if they have a fit about it I would just tell them that you're waiting until you aren't breastfeeding anymore. At least that'll quiet them down long enough for you to figure out if thats what you really want or not. I'd probably try and talk to him about getting snipped too, its only an outpatient procedure for men, all they have is some soreness for about a week and thats it

if there is any hint of doubt within you then DO NOT DO IT! please. i was told after this c-section she should have tied mine because she says its not in my best interest to have any more with how damaged my uterus has become with 2 very large babies and 2 sections. I'm not sure I would have even with all that said. i am going with the copper IUD (good for 10 yrs) just because it has no hormones and I've heard horror stories about Mirena. anyhoo. congrats with the breast feeding and don't do the tubal if you have doubts.

Beth, if they are the reasons you want to get them tied then dnt. its your body, your life and if you have n e doubts then dnt do it!!! Tell frank it is safer/cheaper and the healing process is better if he gets fixed!! if he wants it bad enough then he will.. dnt mean to sound rude, but i knw you know what im saying!!! glad to hear baby is good!

Great news with baby boy Jackson & the breastfeeding! Yay for you guys! I'm not sure what to say about the tubal. If you have doubts maybe you should wait? I have had 3Csections and it's painful to hold the baby maybe right away but maybe you can use a pillow or a boppy pillow? I do breast & bottle.
