The who can dance

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Serenity @ 7:48 pm

Oh this is just like the who did it dance.
It starts with my brother calling my mother. And he asks, Do you think L would let B and C come with me to get their pictures taken?
My mom says. I dont know, call your sister and ask her, but i doubt she will let them go without her.
* insert me talking, Umm helllloooo C is nursing, hes 5 months old, he cant be away from me for more then 20 minutes, before he wants to nurse*
My brother tells my mom to leave the car-seats for the boys at her place, he will pick them up before coming to mine. My mom has her own car-seats for the boys.
She then calls me. And lets me know that my brother wants to take the boys to get their pictures done. Well all fine and well. Ill get them ready for pictures. But they cant go without me.
A has NO idea how to deal with a high needs child like B. Hes hyper-active, with a touch of ADD. Much less a nursing infant who always wants mom. Not to mention B acts terrified of my brother each time he sees him. Literally runs and screams.

Anyway my brother finally calls me, and askes me if the kids have dark blue shirts. Im going ***** thats about the one color i cant match to one another. He said its the only nice sweater he has. Ugh. So i rumble around and find a two piece shirt for B. Took off the patterned overshirt, it looks strange without it, but oh well. Then found a dark and light blue striped shirt for C with some navy cord overalls. Its gonna have to wrok, unless A wants to buy something else for C. Up to him, i dont have any money to spend.
Anyway i have to go, B is dressed but wont eat. C is fed but happy in the jumper and late on his nap. Im half dressed and have a towel of wet hair on my head. Me thinkith i need to hurrt.

C is quite Mobile now. He does an army crawl, and while its so adorable, he is getting into EVERYTHING. Big messes. The tree is now open game!The coffee table is his enemy. He gets stuck underneath it. Im looking to get some corner protectors like thease, as well as ones to protect him from the sharp edges of the legs. It also looks like im going to need to raise the Christmas tree onto a small coffee table. Need to keep it out of little palms.
Now if only i could keep B out of it too! No such luck i think.

Co sleeping.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — Serenity @ 11:00 pm

I love co-sleeping with my son. I co-slept with my first son so when my baby was born it was natural to put him in bed with me. Its so much easier on a new mother or a new again mother, to just lay back down with the baby. A baby wakes up many times a night, even now, at five months, my son wakes up 3 times a night to nurse. If he slept in his own bed, i would have to get up, get him, find a place to nurse, be it in bed or in a chair. Wait for him to eat, that could take any amount of time from 10 minutes to an hour. Then put him back in bed and pat his back until he fell asleep. With co sleeping, i just get him into position to nurse and then stay in a semi sleeping state until he is done.

My first son was formula fed, and having him in bed with me was much easier too. He slept in a crib for the first two months. The process was the same as if he had been breastfed. I had to get up, get the bottle, get him, feed him, put him back, put his bottle away and then go back to bed. When he was co sleeping, i kept prepared bottles in a mini fridge next to my bed. I would grab a bottle, feed him, he prefered

his formula cold, then put it back in the fridge and go to sleep.
My children were never distrubd from their sleep. They simply started to make their hungry sounds and i would wake up to feed them.

While i would never co sleep if my husband had done any kind of drinking, we are generally light sleepers. Our babies always slept in between us with their own blankets. They are happy and healthy. For a sleep deprived mom, it is so nice to eliminate the extra steps of getting out of bed, getting the baby, feeing the baby, putting away and feeding supplies, put the baby back in bed and then going to bed. I couldent do it any other way.

It finally started snowing here. And stupid me, i wasnt careful enough when i walked outside. I actually fell. I havent fallen in years.
I bruised my tailbone. I have bloodey bruises on my forearms near my elbows. I have bruises on my lower back and bum. I hit my head when i fell, but i had a hair clip in it broke the clip and saved me a freaking headwound. as is there is a crack.
It really hurts badly now.
I broke my diet and pulled another soda to down some ibprofin… but im really hurting. Im shaking so bad, and its been a half hour. I dont even wanna pick up the baby for fear im gonna fall again.
Can you een imagine how hard it is to walk up 4 flights of stairs after you take a fall like that?
I had stepped off the curb to get to the dumpsters. I stepped, took one more step and fell backwords. There was no slippage. Just a fall. I hit on my back. Ugh. Im lightheaded and really bad feeling..
So im gonna go, before i pass out or something.

Well i wont be able to update tomarrow, SO im on late at night to write :)
I have several new informative articals in the works. One i wrote * gasp!* by hand. Talk about crazy. Ok i was stuck on the couch nursing my lil boy and i couldent get to the computer. Im actually quite sad about my handwriting, it has really gone down the toilet.
I bought my son several things for christmas.Including an animitronic dinosaur that walks on its own and makes dinosaur sounds. Hes going to love it.
I also decided on what to make my hubby for Christmas. Im going to make him a remote holder. He plays xbox 360, plus we have remotes for the tv, surround, dvd player ect. So im going to make him some kind of holder ( probably out of fleece seeing its no sew and i cant sew, and i have a bunch laying around) that will hold all the remotes and his 2 headsets for his game system. It might be kinda corney.. but he will like it. Besides he dosent need a new watch…
The baby, well he dosent need anything for chirstmas!
Anyway i have to get going. The baby is asleep, which means i want to take a baby free, child free shower!
