My daughter had her 4 month check up on monday and it went pretty well. We switched to a new doctor because i did not like the other one. He literally walked in and walked back out in 5 minutes. All he would ask is how she was never checked her. This new doctor is great he is so nice and does a very thorough exam. He actually checked every part of her and asked questions about her development. My baby girl now weighs 15lbs abd 6 oz and is 25in long, i can’t believe how big she has gotten from 7lbs to 15lbs in 4 months. The worst part was the shots, i felt so bad and sad i wanted to cry, she kept looking at me like why are you doing this to me. Those shots have to be really painfull and they alos gave her a vaccine by mouth. I am not so sure about those because she did spit out some of it. All in all everything is well and thats all i care about, I am just glad that is over.

Wow, I can not believe how much toys my two boys have. I cleaned out there room and closet today and there is just so much of it. I think i will be giving it to goodwill or something like that. I never realized how many toys they had between the two of them. Half those toys they played with maybe just a couple of times because they have their favorites. I have to say if it wasn’t for my husband they would not have so much toys. He had alot when he was growing up all the new toys and video games, a tv in his room. Me on the other hand never had toys or watched tv when i was little. I had fun by playing outside with friends. I can see why he now wants to buy the kids so much stuff because that is what they did with him when he was small. I don’t want my boys to grow up thinking that they can get what they want when they want it. One day the finances may not always be here and i don’t want them to take it for granted and i hope they appreciate everything. My husband is a blue collar worker and works very hard to get them all they want and need but i just hope they grow up to understand that it is not that easy to get whatever they want. I was not spoiled as a kid and i am actually thankfull for that because i know when i can and can’t have something. If the money is not there right now eventually it will be even though we might not get it exactly when we want it.

My mother in law never sees my children, she does not even call to check on them. It probably has alot to do with the fact that we don’t exactly see eye to eye. No matter what are differences i do want her to be a part of there lives. The only grandma they know is my mom. My mother in law always tries to buy my husband off, like recently she bought him a guitar. She does that so he won’t be mad at her for not paying attention to our kids. I think that she should at least make the effort to come visit them. There has been plenty of times where she was supposed to come over and she never showed up or my husband would tell her we were going over and then when the time came she would not be there. I feel like it is some what my fault because they are my children and that is probably how she sees them.I don’t see how she could not want to spend time with them. When they do see her they don’t call her grandma my son will say that is daddy’s mom.We have had problems with her in the past, to the point my husband did not talk to his family for over two years and just recently he started to talk to them again. She was great in the beginning ubtil it finally wore out. Hopefully one day she will realize that life is short and you can’t waste it hating people.

As my two sons start getting older i find it more difficult to get them to actually listen to me. They do listen to my husband when he is home from work but when i am by myself i am always repeating myself. I think it is because they know that they can get away with more around me and there dad won’t let them act up. My four year old is starting to talk back which i don’t like, if i tell him something he always comes back with a smart remark. My two year old just ends up crying or whining when i get after him. I don’t want to be the parent they walk all over and don’t take what i say serious. I want them to respect both me and my husband not just him. If they fight and i tell them to go sit down away from each other they will go and then a minute later they just get up like nothing and forget everything i told them. I know that i am not good at following through either though. Every time i think about it i am like my mom she would tell us that we were in trouble and then would forget about it. I gues it is true that you turn out like your parents. I am going to try and figure a different way of disciplining them, so that they will listen to me and not think that i don’t mean it when i tell them something.

My daughter is 4 months old now and i am so afraid of sids. She sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed so i can check on her but she is really outgrowing it. I am afraid to move her to her crib because i can’t check on her as easily. I seriously thought about putting her crib next to our bed every night but i don’t think that will work. I really wish that they new what causes sids in babies so that way parents wouldn’t have to worry so much. I don’t know maybe i am paranoid but i can’t help it. I just want her to be okay, I will probably have to transition her to her crib soon though. I did hear about some kind of plastic wrap to put around the crib mattress from a website mommy team and i am going to be ordering one before she gets moved and hopefully that will ease my mind a little bit.

My 4 year old son is getting ready to go to school next month and he is very excited. He went to school last year but only for a while so he knows what it is like. The only thing is that he is very shy and won’t ask for things sometimes. Last year he had a couple of potty accidents because he did not want to interrupt the teacher. He loves to play with the kids and gets along well with them but when they sing in the morning and things like that he is afraid to do it because he is so shy. I don’t know why but he also gets nervous, i am trying to teach him that there is nothing to be afraid of. I I know where he gets his shyness from , Me because i was a very shy kid an sometimes still am. I know that he might grow out of it but i want him to be able to participate in everything so when he goes to kindergarten he is used to it all. I know he might change but i just can’t help but worry about him.

I can not believe that 4 months have gone by since i gave birth. It seems like it was just yesterday. I kind of have mixed emotions about it because in one way it is sad that she is growing so fast, but on the other hand i know that she is thriving and doing well. Kaydence weighed 7lbs 11oz when she was born and is now 14lbs, she is a chubby girl. Now she is growing into her own little person with her own personality. Kaydence loves to get what she wants when she wants it, i think she gets that from me. She can also be a very patient baby and just soothe her self. I love the fact that she can entertain herself she will just lay in her crib and look at her hands or coo at her mobile. It is fascinating to me how all of my children are different, and have totally different personalities. Next week she will be going for her 4 month check up, which means it is shot time. I dread check ups because i know what is coming but i do like to be reassured that she is growing well. Plus i get to see how much weight she has gained and how tall she has gotten. So here is to hoping that everything goes well and that those shots aren’t to painful. Continue reading 4 MONTHS OLD!

My poor baby girl is starting to teeth. I am pretty sure she won’t get any teeth quite yet but it is the beginning stages. All the drooling and wanting to chew on anything she can get in her mouth. I feel so bad for her it has to be painful and i don’t want to put orajel or anything like that on her. I have been trying to find her teething toys that she likes and can soothe her but she gets really upset with them. I heard that a cold wet washcloth might help so i think i might try that. I don’t want to see her get upset or her in any pain. Hopefully it doesn’t last very long and i find something that works. She has been drooling all over her clothes and sometimes she will end up spitting up from chewing on her hands. I just hope that she will feel better soon because i don’t want her to be in any pain. I remember when both my boys were teething i would give them a teething toy and it worked but i know al babies are different and that doesn’t seem to be working for her.

I never anticipated how hard it would be to breastfeed in public. I am scared to try it, my daughter is 3 months going on 4 and i have never really fed her in public. I usually just end up going to the car. I feel so uncomfortable, even though i know i shouldn’t but i have seen the way some people stare at women breastfeeding in public. I know because i used to get uncomfortable. Now that i am doing it i don’t see a problem. It is all natural , i just don’t get why people make such a big deal out of it. Sometimes i wish i could just feed her when we are out instead of getting up and going all the way to the car. It is not me uncomfortable about it but i am worried about what other people will say and how they will look at me. I just don’t get it. I hope sometime soon that people will realize that we are doing this for our babies and it shouldn’t be a bad thing and we shouldn’t feel guilty but proud of ourselves.

My husband and i took the kids to sea world this weekend and they had so much fun. They really enjoyed themselves alot. We went alot the year before last because we had season passes but my 2 year old son was just a baby back then. Now that he is older he really got to experience everything. They loved riding all the little roller coasters and watching all the shows. I can’t wait for kaydence to get old enough so she can also have fun. They got to feed some dolphins which they thought was so exciting. I think the only downfall was the crowds and the heat but other then that it was a great time. I really love taking them to different places as much as i can and hopefully when they all get a little older i would really like to travel with them. I think that they should really have fun in there childhood and i want them to remember when they get older how much fun they had when they were small.
