3blessings - Sunday, 10 August Seems like you are in a tough spot right now. It's a hard decision either way, whether to stay or leave. If I were you, I would stay with that a-hole of yours until you can save up and leave. As long as there is no violence or anything. I think that I'd rather do that than take my kids to my dad's, where financial support would be even harder and the smoking. You don't have to be involved with your bf sexually....just stay there and make it perfectly clear why you are still with him
crazyeights - Saturday, 9 August Hi, I'm trying to lose weight too!! Good Luck to you
cosita - Saturday, 9 August Hey have you tried swaddling your baby to make her feel as if she is in your arms or even a baby sling. Hope it helps!
jerri - Saturday, 9 August Hi! congrats on your baby! just read the fourm about colic. my little girl had this when she was a baby and i know how hard it is! i took her to the dr and he changed her formula to nutramigen..it is expensive, but works. within 3 days it had helped a lot (not completely stopped but got better.) hope this helped it is really all the advise i have. Also, try putting a warm bath cloth on his belly...not sure what it does but helped us.
brownsugar - Saturday, 9 August beautiful baby!!!!!!!!!!!
Gracies5th - Saturday, 9 August how come scales at home and the dr. office are SOOOOO different??? I wanted to cry after seeing the scale at the visit today. ughhh!!! I am working so hard at getting back in shape and then to see that scale it seems that all i've lost since having him is 10 lbs, that would be the baby and placenta, he was 7 lb 8 oz. Oh and I was supposed to get Mirena today cuz my doc left me with the impression when I was leaving the hospital that I would get it at my check up, BUT NO. seems I had to go in with a screaming baby by myself in an hour long drive (Jacob screaming for about 20 minutes of it) late for my appt. so I had to wait 2 hours after getting there for him to get back from his lunch break, to step on a scale and get sad, then sit in a room get blood pressure checked, and asked if I had a period yet or cramping, that was the extent of my check up, then I signed papers to order Mirena and I asked him a couple questions about it. NO REAL CHECKING ME OUT to see if everything was ok, didn't even check to see if my uterus had gone back yet. *sigh* just really frustrated right now with just about everything. I saw the doc for maybe 5 minutes out of a 2 hour wait and 2 hour drive and 6 hours of sleep maybe and a screaming baby. maybe it's the hormones again...
Shacam - Thursday, 7 August Thanks for the comment about the name Savannah - I like that name too!
Gracies5th - Wednesday, 6 August thank you that's sweet, i'm prolly just taller than you, but i look nothing like i use to, and that's what I want. Are you doing anything to get your body back? any fitness routine? I try to do atleast 30 minutes on weekdays. it's really not that hard to find the time if you really want to, and I make the time cuz i'm determined to get my body back to b4 I ever got pregnant. we can do it together, are you makng a blog about getting it back, the ladies in my month have decided that since we went through pregnancy together with all the aches and pains and gaining weight LOL, we should continue with weekly updates and pics of ourselves and encouraging others who accepted the challenge. we're really doing this for encouragement to actually get it done, and I think it'll be fun to look at the progression from week to week and actually be able to see the changes. you should join us if you're not in our month, it might be just what you need for motivation. I know I need it ;) Thanx again
