[bbygurl719]

hey how is everyone and babys. me and aaryella are great. im for sure no longer breastfeeding. but my breast feeding consultant said i did really good for it being my first baby and breastfed for almost the first month. My mom bought me my baby book. it winnie the pooh since my theme is winne the pooh. my auunt also bought me a vintage first year and second year calender for the baby.. Well we moved once again. after i had the baby since i had a c-section we stayed with my mom cuz i couldnt drive and my fiance doesnt have a license. we stayed for 2 weeks. and after that i just didnt want to leave. I still do everything for the baby but its nice to have my mom close by. plus it helps out alot with my 6 yr old step daughter. becuase she has alot more people to give her the attention she needs. its hard for me to give her alot of attention cuz i have a very clingy baby. and alos me and my fiance are getting married xmas eve im so excited!!

katie those are super cute!!
i bought a baby book i was wondering if any of your books have a section about whats going on in the world around the time baby was born. i forgot about that part and was wondering what you girls have put in yours for headlines in the news, national news, and world leaders in november 2011. i tried googling and didnt get much

about the house/trip- my OH was in the army for 7 years and was wounded in combat. back in april he signed up for a program through the warrior support foundation that gives wounded veterans a mortgage free house if they are chosen. the day i went into labor the foundation called us and said we were being considered for a house out by st. louis (where my family is) we sent in all the information they needed from us to decide if we would get it. about two weeks after i had madelyn they called and told us we were selected and they were officially awarding us the house and it was being renovated so it would be 30-90 days before we could move in. they also told us they wanted to formally present it to us which is where the trip comes in to play.

originally we told them we wanted something low key because we are just grateful to get the free house. they emailed my OH yesterday morning asking if we were interested in having the house presented to us at the new york giants new york jets game on christmas eve. we said we would love to but couldnt afford it with a new baby and me just going back to work. they told us they covered air fare for all three of us, hotel, ground travel while in new york, and for us to go to the game (in box seats since we have a baby) so we will be spending our first christmas as a family in new york!!!

i attached a picture of the house we received. we should be moving in the beginning of the new year.

thanks for the link, k8y! i usually only do the old-fashioned plain jane type of scrapbooks - you know the tan or grey paper that you just glue stuff on, but i could definitely see myself getting into something like that for Jacob's stuff... *marking webpage to check out after done on BnB*

bbyg, that's so exciting about Christmas Eve!!! so happy for you!

tlh, i just put general news, like economy down, unemployment still high, food prices rising; for world leaders, i looked up the leaders for the most populous countries on wikipedia (i no longer follow politics much, so i honestly didn't know). regarding the trip and the house, that is soooo amazing!!! what a lifechanger for you and your family!! i love that style of house, too, and it looks like you guys will have a bit of land, which will be nice for a family! i am so happy for you guys!!

 

[fides]

tlh, i told my husband about your house and trip and he's really happy for you guys too. it's so good to hear when something good happens in this country!

Sorry I haven't been on but I have been reading everyones posts.
Nyn firstly big hugs, I know how frightening it is but Leia is in the best place. if you ever want someone too talk too I'm here. Arabella was on a feeding tube and oxygen therapy (tent, head box, nebulisers, mask) she stopped breathing twice and was really poorly with it. She also had too have a chest x ray done so don't be alarmed if they want too do this as well, arabellas showed she has a chest infection too so is on amoxicillin. It's a horrible illness and I bet there is many more babies there with exactly the same thing. Is she having the humidified oxygen? I really hope your both out soon. I brought a sensor pad got when arabella came out of hospital and it's reassured me so much, it's called nanny so you might want too have a look at that.
Big hugs again and stay strong I know it's horrible seeing wires and tubes all over the place but there all there for a reason. Good luck at I hope she has a speedy recovery
Lots of love
Abi and Arabella

Here's a pic of logan in his cherub tree cloth nappy (the main type we'll be using), as well as 2 pics of him in a cloth nappy that a forum friend had specially made for him and sent to me
Been using disposables up until now, with the exception of one really hot day on which i used cloth. But used cloth the whole day today and really loving it so far!

Just saw a pic of him at 5 weeks and another of him taken today at 7 weeks - can't believe how much my baby has grown and filled out these last 2 weeks!

And we had our first really big definite smile yesterday

thanks girls and thanks Abi, I hope your LO is better soon it's horrible thats a good idea about the sensor pad, thanks Leia only had max 1 liter of oxygen which apparently they dont humidify. And the only medicine we've got is a nose spray. I think we were lucky with it. We've decided not to send the kids to school for their last week just in case they pick anything new up from school. Leia's still weak so want to keep her safe!

Huggles those pics of Logan are precious!!!! I'm amazed at how much Leia has grown too..she only just 6 weeks old and wearing clothes for age 3 months!! she's skinny and long

glad to hear leia is doing better xx
