I've got "You've got to have Faith" stuck in my head.... from finishing Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet ... whole thing mentions music all the way through it... .but not that particular song.... the girl Luke has a crush on is named Faith, so it made sense to me... but once I thought of it, it stuck LOL
I put my patio plants out this morning and it barely rained enough to wet under my car. They were out in the yard when the heavy stuff came this afternoon and the pots were running over with rainwater.
We were sea during a storm once and the rain was coming down it every direction at the same time. Waves were taking us way up, up, up then dropping us back down, we were under water a lot too. Ask if we were going to get sub pay for it, they said no.
I was thinking today how my mother must have felt 68 years ago. She was pretty much confined to bed the last 3 months of her pregnancy with me. Her sister and husband came to help out.
My granddaughter, Whitney( Now 20) weighed 10lbs, 3 oz at birth and was 22 inches long. I went back to Toledo to see her when she was 6 days old. She was wearing a dress and sitting in her baby seat on the floor and looked at least a month old.
Yes, Audrey, I nurse her. It's the highlights of my day (and the misery of my night) I do get a bit of rest though. She is close to being on a 4-hour schedule and already at least that in the nights. Last night, I fed her at about 11:30pm and she didn't wake up until 5:30am (boy was I glad she did too!)
My biggest baby was the first at 8 lbs, 12 1/2 oz. and my littlest 5 lbs. 8 oz and a month early. When she was born there was a woman in the maternity wing who had a 13 lb. 8 oz. baby. 8 whole lbs. more than mine.
Oh, I am so glad all mine were below 8 lbs.! Larry, I didn't get to nurse my first (I was ignorant and too shy to ask questions - my mom never nursed any of her kids and neither did hubby's mom) but the second I nursed until 6 months, last until 9 months (got pg!) and this one I am shooting for at least a year!
Thanks, Audrey. I am going to try to be on here some Wednesday. And will post a birthday article too! C'mon everyone, make me feel "old!"
when I had jess I didn't have clothes that small.... tamara was 9.6; jess was only 6.12.... we have pictures of her wearing Tamara's cabbage patch doll's dresses
took meds for two weeks before steven then they had to induce him cause I ran a temp, when he was born he looked like a scrawning chicken his dad could hold in one hand. (he was 2lb 7 oz. 15 inches long likely cause of his dad's size)
I wish Gather had a cam chat. Little Bit is sitting in my lap now watching me type! She says hello to all her friends and thank you for well wishes into this world.
Wow, mine all read 20 lbs and more by the time they are 9 months! As for nursing, yes, it is much easier than formula feeding. Takes less time to prepare, ready any time its needed and always at the right temp!
The Champ wrote an article on the collection of old debts it's a booming business check it out if you get a chance. A lot of criminal activity in this business.
I nursed mine...until they decided to quit...Pher was about 9 mo. old when he just wouldn't nurse anymore...Angela was about a year...she NEVER took a bottle..went straight to a sippy cup
takes time to say something, not a speed typer, My typing teacher would be proud of me though, I can type now without looking at the keys. don't have to hunt and peck now.
Well, she must be able to read already, she is fussing for some "mommy time" so I guess I'd better be off to bed. I'll chat back when I get a chance tomorrow!
In many under developed countires moms were convinced that bottle feeding was better than breast feeding. This actually led to increase infant mortality in those countries.
Good job Larry.. I do a combination of look at the keys and watch what I type. when I've had a long day, the gremlin types for me and he does not type well at all.
I had to be a way for a day when Angela was about 3 mo. old...she would rather starve than take a bottle from MIke...he finally got her to take some expressed milk out of a cup.
You're right Brian, it was a horrilbe thing to have happen especially cause of the poor water supply and how this affected the infants as well as mom. the antibodies in breast milk help babies in underdeveloped countries survive.
My daughter in law had twins way only able to nurse one of them. she is nurse the little girl they just had now, thinks she is about 5 or 6 months ole now.
I helped with feeding and changing the kids. walked the floor many a night with them. fed them huge bowls of cearal, changed diapers, don't do diapers now. I did my share
Hey did anyone think that guys really have to be taught about babies, when I was growing up I was so busy with sports and school this was the farthest thing from my mind.
I thought a baby shower was a small shower that you washed a baby in!

Good evening, y'all!
don't think hubby slept any better though.... he came home and napped on the couch for hours this evening
our next grandbaby is due in August
steven was always an independent thinker since he decided to be born at 28 wks.
I do get a bit of rest though. She is close to being on a 4-hour schedule and already at least that in the nights. Last night, I fed her at about 11:30pm and she didn't wake up until 5:30am (boy was I glad she did too!)
Angela was the ugliest looking thing...6 lbs 2 oz...no fat on her...was definately over cooked.

How are you doing tonight Brian? I'm riding out a thunderstorm and hoping it doesn't get worse so I have to shut down my puter.
We can't make you feel old Tab, because you're the baby....

Larry's being quiet again.
And I am the baby with the baby, huh? Maybe I don't feel so old now, then.
