Hello,

So I decided that this site would be great for me so that I know im not the only mom to be with soo many aches and pains!!! Im 22, A little younger than I wanted to be to have my first baby. My fiance is a bit older and we are soo excited to be parents. We already have an 8 month old chocolate lab pup who keeps us busy and honestly has prepared us more than we know for parent hood.

On Feb 8th we find out the sex of the baby and get to have an ultrasound for the first time. We heard the heartbeat 2 weeks ago and it was 150bpm. That by far was one of the most exciting things to hear.

Well I look forward to chatting with all the other mommies to be:)

Jan 18th- Went to the doctor today!!! We heard the heartbeat was 144. Was weighed, gained another 4 pounds so have gained a total of 7 pounds so far. Not too bad!!!! Im feeling pretty good lately, besides from the lower back pain, headaches, and some dizziness. They decided to do a surprise ultra sound for me considering the doctor was booked the next 3 weeks. We saw the baby and it look perfect, when I figure out how to use my new scanner I will get the pics up! So we also found out we are having a girl! She was moving so much I was scared the tech was going to give up but she kept going and the baby finally flipped upside down and we saw the 3 lines!!!! I was surprised at first because everyone was trying to tell me it was a boy but from the start I knew it was a girl! So her name will be Alexa Pearl Herrick. We couldnt be happier. She was measuring 6oz 6 inches long. Now I Just wish June would come now!!

April 9th.

I Just wanted to let any moms know what I do for work. I was working as a part time nanny, Well I actually still do but this is my last month! I also work for a company called Arbonne International. Its a skin care company that is 100% natural, all vegan which means its not tested on animals and there are no animal biproducts used. Its hypoallergenic, and is a swiss formutaled product. There are many different lines, 6 to be exact. One which I thought some moms may be interested in was the Baby Line. Im not sure if anyone has watched dateline or read the latest blogs online. But many products especially baby products contain parabins, and Mineral oil. Mineral oil is aweful for your body and your skin, Its derived from plastic and is toxic to your skin.. No wonder why soo many people break out and dont know why!!! Well anyway, I just wanted to inform anyone who wanted to know about this business and some of the products. You can become an independent consultant as well and get all products for wholesale which is an additional 35-50% off, everything is shipped directly to your house and you dont have to go run to the mall to go waste money on skin care products that aren't good for you. I dont preach about arobonne, but if anyone has any questions please feel free to message me or even go look on the website yourself! www.arbonne.com.

Thanks!!!

Let me know how the gripe water works- I'm going to try and get some this week. When doyou do the gas drops? My husband suggested to give it to him before I feed him, but I haven't tried that yet. He doesn't do it for every poo, just sometimes. No telling when. Things withyour husband will definitely get better once you both aren't sleep deprived. Its the hard times that make us closer- silver lining!

Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding? Joey went through a similar problem last week, where he wouldn't poop and he had TERRIBLE gas. He would wake up from a dead sleep screaming crying. I got the mylicon drops and changed his formula to the Enfamil Gentlease - and it worked great!

I hope you find some happiness soon with your husband. I know they can be frustrating, but sometimes I just try to see it from their point of view and that usually helps me. Knowing you live so close, if you ever want to get together and chat I would love to. I know it probably is crazy, here we are on a silly website. But sometimes all you need is YOU time (babies come too of course!); with someone who isn't connected to hubby. Am I making any sense lol??

have you tried mylicon drops for the gas. I tell ya they work wonders. When my little guy has gas really bad I give him a dose of that and with in 20 mins he is pooping. Just a suggestion.

Hey Rachel! Isn't it amazing how men can put so much pressure on us to do everything and yet we walk on egg shells around them to make sure they are happy. Take care of the house, make dinner, make sure they are happy and taken care of. All we ask is maybe one night off or they help out a little more when they come home from work. Just because there work day ends at 5 doesnt mean that ours does. Ugh, I havent been this unhappy in a long time, and isn't this suppose to be the best time of my life? Hmmm Everyday I think how much more can I take. And I have to find a job within the next few months. Hope your husband sobers up soon lol! Enjoy your weekend if you can.

does ur husband drink every weekend and how much??? mine does on saturdays its his night he does fall asleep but is never drunk... also i just wich he could be more of a dad like i am a mom , i dunno but i dont trust him with emily,i think he will over feed or even just over sleep and not here her when she wakes up! last week i was soo pissed all this time he was doing 3 oz of water per scoop of formula! and he was using her towel like a blanket for her the other day!!!...good luck....

Thanx so much for joining me! I'll be checkin back with you. I wrote down your name and everything. =)

Yes it's super humid down here. We need a hurricane so bad around here. I bet you've never heard of folks praying for a hurricane. But we need the rain. It's humid and miserable. Fortuntaly my sinus headache only lasted a day and a half. But sometimes it can last days at a time. I get to where I can't see it hurts so bad. Thanks for advice.

Rachel - I wouldn't worry about your LO not pooping. Exp considering you are bf. A bf baby can go 5 or 6 days without pooping. They can also go every 2 hours. It really depends on many things. If your little one is going through a growth spurt they maybe using more of the breast milk and not having as much waste. Is your LO in pain? Uncomfortable? I am sure it is ok, but if you are worried or they are in pain you can also try giving a little karo syrup in a bottle (like 1/2 tsp) and that will help move things along. Also, you can always call the ped!

Oh yes im feeling alot better. I now know what my baby cries about and can help her. We have also been sleeping alot better. She only wakes up about every 3 hours. Its great!!!! I hope your doin well yourself! HUGGS :)

Well there will be no next time for me. I think I am done. My husband would like to have a boy of his own, but there are sssooooo many girls in his family, that the odds are stacked againist us. Being a new mom is fun but exhausting at the same time. My youngest before her is 7, so I was pretty much done with a needy child at all times. It's definately been a transition for me.
