Thanks. I am hoping it all works out for us too : ) It's very sad to see babies everywhere knowing that you can't have one on your own. I try not to think about it but at least I don't have to worry anymore about why I can't get pregnant. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks for your comment. We have already been trying for almost ayear with no such luck. They told us my husband has a sperm count of 20 thousand and they say normal is 20 million. With me having PCOS, I have had cycles that are anywhere from 60-80 days long. The only time I have had a period in the past 9 months is because they have given me Prometrium. I also did bassal body temperatures for months and found out that I am not ovulating either. The chances of us conceiving naturally are really low. They said if my husband didn't have low sperm count, they would have put me on Clomid. But with him being so low, Clomid wouldn't have been enough. We have more testing to go through, so in the mean time we can still try on out own. I don't hink it will work though.

Thanx! =) So I was wondering if you were gonna do it too??

hi, if your baby is arching his back then in my opinion he might have acid reflux. My baby went through a week of not wanting to really eat too and just in the past day or so he has gotten over it. As long as i got 20 ounces down him i wasnt too worried. So it could just be a stage your baby is going through

the lady at wic said 6 months i went to the doc the other nite i went to the doc i asked him he said 2 months cuz mia is only a week old and eatin like crazy

Well....3 1/2 months is a little young...my pediatrician said that you can start as early as 4 months...I'm not sure what a difference 2 weeks makes. It more so has to do with the maturity of the babies digestive system. I'd say that you should only feed your baby the rice cereal though and stear clear of the fruits and veggies for a couple more weeks....but that's just my opinion....take care!

if you don't mind me asking, how was your birth expierence? please be honest, brutally honest if you have to. haha. i read that you tore, but i also know you had an epidural, so i was wondering how it all felt and played out. i know you're probably busy with your son, so just get to my question if you have time please.

kelli - Sunday, 13 July
thanks for the answer on the sex after birth forum. i understand what you mean, you didn't scare me, i didn't think it'd be that differant after you have a baby but now i undersand what they mean by you should do it when your physically and emotionally ready.

Nah, you're not spoiling him, my man was born March 19th, and weighs a whopping 18.8 pounds... not to worry, if they wanna eat, let em eat!

so far i have gone into labor 2 times... once at week 29, then again at week 34. And i want to keep the baby in long enough for him to not need to be in the nicu, i just am a bit selfish... i reallly want to hold him and see him face to face. But i do understand i will miss feeling him in me moving around. yesterday my bf was laying in bed with me and i was crying about not being able to see my baby but he told me, well we wouldnt be able to hold him now cuz nicu would keep him all wired up in a little tube, i agreed i dont want to see my baby that way. I hope he makes it till week 37 like my doc hopes, he said after that week he wont stop the baby from being born. and that he just wants my boys lungs to mature a little longer. when did you have your baby, he looks adorable :)

Breastfed or bottlefed, babies can and do thrive. I wasn't sure I was gonna make it past those first two weeks cause it was just that painful! Thankfully it got better. But lord once he got those teeth... If something startled him he would jerk himself off me while keeping the suction OUCH and when he started teething the second or third time around every now and then he would BITE! which believe me hurt like a b*&%... But I stuck it out and I'm very happy I did. I've made it nearly a year and he's never even taken a bottle. I feel like that's an accomplishment... : ) And he doesn't ever bite anymore, I think eventually he realized that hurt mommy.

There are definitely advantages to bottlefeeding, Not having to look at those new sharp little teeth like tiny weapons! lol. The ability to let your significant other take care of feedings when you're tired... I can remember plenty of times where I was totally exhausted and just wanted to sleep, but since I didn't want him to have any formula, and I didn't pump I had to get up, like it or not. Plus I'm sure its much more comfortable to go out in public and feed your child a bottle versus a boob. I breastfeed in public and I don't really care who does or doesn't like it, but I do get funny looks if people realize that's what I'm doing.

And the fact that you breastfed your baby for 3 weeks undoubtedly gave him tons of benefits as far as antibodies and all that goes. Heck even the colustrum we produce for those first few days is supposed to be really good for them, even though it doesn't seem like much.

PCOS sounds a little scary, but I don't really know anything about it. If it weren't 4am I might google it. As it is, I'm off to bed for now.

Take care and ttyl! :)

Thanks for the compliment on my son's pics :D they're old though. He's even cuter now than he was then if that's possible, (yeah yeah I know I might be a tiny bit biased but you can't blame me :D)

I know what you mean about time flying! It seems like just a few weeks ago that I brought my son home from the hospital, and he will be a year old in less than 2 weeks!

If you want to see more current pics you can see them on myspace, if you have one.

What's pcos?
And as far as my son's sleeping through the night goes, I exclusively breastfeed, no formula, although now he eats baby foods and regular food in addition to breastmilk. But because breastmilk is better for them and more easily digested it does mean that they eat a little more often than formula fed babies. He ate every hour for what seemed like forever, and then every couple hours, and then every 3 hours, and sddenly at around 2 months old or so he started sleeping for 6 hours at night, I was pretty happy about that. Eventually he started sleeping 8 hours but every time he starts teething he wakes up once or twice a night wanting to nurse. That usually lasts for a couple weeks, maybe a month. So it's like a month where he wakes up every night wanting to nurse and then a month where he sleeps through the night.
Right now he generally sleeps 9 hours at night, but he wakes up once usually wanting to nurse and then goes right back to sleep.

He has 8 teeth now. He got 2 teeth at 4 months old and has been getting 2 more every 2 months ever since.

Sorry I don't really have any hints for you... All I do is go through a routine in the evening (usually after playing a lot to try expend some of that energy we do a long bath, where he plays with his duckies and splashes all over the place, then diaper change. lotion, pajamas, then nurse for a while, and a lot of times he'll drift off then.) if not I'll read to him which invariably makes him want to play again, lol. I'll let him until he seems tired then nurse him again and when he's drowsy or sleeping put him in bed. and if he wakes up I try to make sure that I don't turn on a lot of lights or anything, I keep it as dim and quiet and calm as possible so that the difference between night and day is clear. I think that them waking up often in the beginning is how its meant to be... they need to nurse, or bottlefeed, frequently and they know better than we do how often they need to feed...

It will work out how it needs to work out. Just be consistent. Once seth is old enough to understand what 'bedtime' means I'll probably change the routine to include a specific bedtime story and put him in bed before he falls asleep but is sleepy, so that he learns to self sooth and drift off himself, but for now I cherish him falling asleep in my arms. It's just the best feeling in the world to me and I don't care if people like my mother in law think I should be letting himself scream himself to sleep at a certain time every night, thats not how I am going to do things.

We all have to find our own way, and we all know what's best for us and our children. :)

speaking of my little man I g2g, but hope to talk to you again soon!

I'm glad that the pill is working so well for you! I opted for the IUD partly because it is the most effective form of birth control according to my doctor, and I am apparently very fertile... that and I know someone, actually a couple someone's who got pregnant while on the pill. One was on the minipill and the other was on the regular pill and that just makes me leery of it. Plus I'd be worried that I'd miss a day or something. Mirena is great because I don't even have to give it a second though :)

It is weird how doctors statements can vary so widely about the exact same things! My sister told me her doctor said she would be a good candidate for an IUD but I was under the impression that you cannot get one unless you've already had a child... Odd...

anyway, your son looks adorable! : )
How old is he?

Hi there!

Hi! I was just curious about what you said about mirena on grace's page... you said that your doctor recommended that it be in place for a minimum of three years? That's really odd, because my doctor said that I could have it removed ANY time I wanted. I asked specifically about that... She said that if I removed it before one year that it wouldn't be very cost effective, but that you can have it removed at any time with a very quick return to fertility. That was a big part of the appeal for me.

I wonder why your doctor said what she said? Did she explain why she wouldn't remove it before three years were up? Strange....

I've had mirena for about 8 months now and love it, but that's just me.

Anyway take care! : )

Great PCOS story!!

tina3. - Thursday, 19 June
I understand what your saying but its so hard to find any spare time. Saturdays my husband works for his parents so I have no help that day but Sundays my husband does take the twins for the day to his parents so Sunday would be a good day to do stuff with them, I have been just so tired from being up every night and working that Sundays I sleep and clean the house, I guess I'll just have to make time for them their more important then the house work. Thanks
