I am a new mother to a little baby girl named arianni and a mother to a 7 y/o girl named jannie. it is harder than i thought it would be to have 2 children! i now have each of my ears occupied by a lil girl and they both want something at the same time.. i tend to get frustraited but it always works out to my advantage. my boyfriend is a first time dad so thing to him can be kinda frightening as he still holds her like she will break but yet isnt affraid to toss around my oldest lol..i am looking forward to returning to work on july 1st!!8 weeks off work is to long, i cant wait to have the extra money again.

arianni is now 3 weeks old and is growing so fast it is hard to beleive how fast it go's after the baby is born! i have some baby blues but they dont seem to be getting better. i had postpartum with my first so i am at high risk of getting it this time as well. i hope not i am trying my hardest to be happy..

i was un able to breastfeed due to not getting any milk i was really upset because i was looking forward as well as excited because i didnt breastfeed my first due to hypertension. my milk came is bad and not feedable.arianni is a great eater though but she likes to gulp and swallows a lot of air and the when it comes time to burp she swallows the air till she gets a belly ache.

she doesnt sleep much up every 2-3 hours still but hopefully she will soon i am tired. she is growing fast and i will update as offten as i can.

arianni is now 12 weeks old and is a very active baby!! she is busy always having to more all the time. she loves to go outside and walk around as well as put her feet on the grass.. she is constintly mimicing the cooing noises i make to her. she is trying to sit up by lifting her head and shoulders up. i love both of my beautifull daughters and cannot wait to have another in 2 years.

arianni is almost 4 months old now and is very acctive she has also started to roll over!! she is getting big has almost doubled her weight which is now 13lbs 4oz and her length is around 24 1/2in. she is a very demanding baby and always wanting to be held or talk to. she is also teething which makes me feel horible because she's in so much pain.
