Babies and No Babies...

On Wednesday one of my best friends had a little girl. Her name is Gabriella and she is adorable. 9 lbs. 14 ozs, vaginal delivery with no drugs of any sort (other some Vicadin after she was born : P ) This is pretty awesome, since some people think that big babies require c-sections, and I would say almost 10 pounds is a pretty good sized baby. YAY Melissa!

Yesterday my baby sister (Noelle-who is 15 and not really a baby at all), my friend (Brittany) and I went to meet the new baby. We took the little girl I baby-sit (Hadlee-who is 13 months) with us. Now Noelle is the baby of the family and as such has not really had much experience with diapers. But she changed all of the diapers while she stayed with me as I thought that she could use the practice. She had gotten the baby up from her nap and changed her poopy diaper without any help from me at all. I was there, and offered to help but she wanted to do it herself.

We went to KFC/Taco Bell for lunch (because we love burritos and mac and cheese at the same meal). Everything was going great, but Hadlee started getting a little fussy so I picked her up and kept feeding her on my lap. Then I noticed I was a bit wet. Then I noticed that Hadlee smelled a bit like pee. Even though she had only been in the diaper for a little while (like an hour) she had peed out of it. This had something to do with the fact that my sister seemed to think that diapers should be low-riders like underwear... I was only a little damp, but baby was soaked. And she was wearing a onesie so her shirt was soaked too. We were 30-45 minutes away from home, and in a small town with no Wal-Mart, only a Goodwill. Seeing as how I didn't have time to turn around, change her, and come back, and there was no way I was going to put Goodwill clothes on a baby without washing them first, we had a white trash adventure.

Yes, I took the poor baby in the hospital wearing nothing but socks and a jacket. I mean I wrapped her in a blanket too, but she pretty much was naked. She was fine, and wasn't cold or anything, but it was pretty sad. Then when we got home I put her in her jammies, which I guess next time I go somewhere I will bring with me.

On Tuesday, I started bleeding, so I was actually a day early for my NEXT period. Or 20 some days late for my LAST period. But either way not pregnant, and wasted two tests.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene. Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through! She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news! Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time is giving away a great prize! One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives! Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house. Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts. The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways. During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters. These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites. They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
