God has been wonderful to me and has blessed me with two beautiful daughters.. I almost had my first daughter Mariah at 6 months into pregnancy and the doctors had stopped the preterm labor.. I than had her full term at 37 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy. She is a very smart and quick witted little being she acknowledges God in her life and prays every single night with no one even telling her to.. she even ask us if we have prayed!....My second daughter when I had gotten pregnant during the first trimester I was told I had a hematoma and I was told there was a 50 50 chance of the pregnancy being successful I accepted the chance and prayed in leaving it to the heavenly father once we got past the first trimester I knew my baby would be ok.. I still took it lightly in my activities..at 33 weeks I lost my mucus plug and began cramping I rushed to the hospital where they told me I was in preterm labor.. they worked on me to stop the contractions and gave me some medication to take home. To their calculations I had 2 weeks before actual labor begins.. I prayed I made it to the safe zone of 37 weeks at least... I had my Ahriana at 35 weeks of pregnancy my water broke ( check my birth story in my blog) there was no turning back.. I thought I was going to lose her in the trauma of labor but once again God showed who the true giver and controller of life is.. she was born 5 pounds 5ounces and 18 inches.. she is a breastfed baby at birth ..although I had to give her a tiny bit of formula to get her out the hospital(she was able to leave with me) and once she got home it was strictly breast no formula.. she is gaining weight and a very happy little jellybean.. I love my children and most of all love the Lord for blessing my life with such peace and happiness.

Thanks for all the advice... you are always so helpful!! Baby had a better night yesterday... not giving him anymore formula, just the breast from now on... luckily my mom is here so she watched the baby all night and brought him to me every time I needed to feed him and then she changed and burped him.. it was awesome cause I finally got to sleep... baby was good and didn't cry at all.. I guess the formula is poison for him... poor thing!! Let me ask you a question... do you out the milk you pump in a container and you keep refilling the same container through the day? I want to start pumping seems like my breasts are fuller since I started the fenugreek like you told me... hopefully will work.... It was nice chatting with you yesterday... hopefully we can catch up sometime soon, if our babies let us!! ehehehe
Have a great day!!!

Ya, the dropper the vitamins came with is huge(for a baby)!! Thanks for your comment, I think I'll do the same thing and give half for awhile.

He does a bit but he also looks a lot like my sis when she was a baby... It seems like my milk it's better but I never have any tenderness on my breast... I'm able to feed him 30 minutes each side if he wants to... doctor told me to give him 15 minutes each side and some formula after for 2 weeks to make sure he is getting enough food... when I only give him the breast he will be hungry earlier that if I split with the formula... he told me in 2 weeks my milk should be good to go! I will look for the supplements... Baby sleeps a lot and poops a lot too! ahahah
I need some advice how to stimulate and how to pump... we have to find time between our busy schedules to talk... it's crazy with a small baby... his father has been pretty awesome... he knows how to change him, burp him, he gives him the bottle.. its so exciting to watch him... he has been a great help... my mom is also here helping... it's overwhelming and tired but I'm so happy!! How is you life coming along??? How is the jumping bean?

bigmommat - Thursday, 15 May
Thanks hope you had a good one too!

Hi,I was just looking at different peoples pages and was looking at your profile. I turn 30 tomorrow and was thingking I'm getting a bit old...Then I looked at your profile picutre, thought, hmm, this is a young mom then saw your the same age as me :-) 30 is still young Your birth story is amazing! My little Sammy was born at 36 weeks. I was pretty sure I was further along than that so I wasn't too scared but still a little bit of unsure what a 36 week infant would be like. He was 7lbs 4 oz (which amazed the nurses) My dr had already guessed at my 34 week check that he was coming up on 7lbs. He had some problmes figuring out how to suck but got it down by day 2 and was very jaundice and spent his3rd day on the billy blanket but got to go home on the 4th. We have great ins. and I was able to stay all 4 days with him which was a huge blessing, we are an hour from the hospital and that would have been a lot of commuting. He is fat and perfect now .

We have to cht on line sometime... my delivery was easy... pice of cake... I'm writing on my blog right now... My milk came yesterday... baby was starving and doctor told me to give him some formula... he lost some weight and he was so hungry that was screeming the first night we came home... He loves to eat... I felt so bad and guilty for not having milk... I still giving him formula after I breastfeed but not everytime only when he is not fully satisfied... like 2 or 3 times during a 24 hour perid... I guess my milk is just not enought yet :(
I need some advice in how to pump... not that I need right now... but It's always good to know :)
when are you on line on msn?
How is your bundle of joy doing?? I hope all is well with you...

Hey I added some birth pics, take a look!

bigmommat - Sunday, 11 May
I was so surprised last night when i woke up at 2:22am with him cuz he normally wakes me every 3 hours at night. So after he went back to sleep at like 3:30 I woke him by 7:30 to feed again.
I had a big baby and his blood sugar fluctuated in the hospital so I want to make sure he gets what he needs.
Have a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day

Roxy-Girl - Saturday, 10 May
Look at the new pic I have up of Justyne sleeping and then look over to the right at Kaiden's pic under my children. Now that is crazy!!! A lot of things like that have been happening. I know he is watching over her ;-)
