Accident and promises

My baby girl can roll over now I sat her on my bed like I always do went to the restroom and when I got back she was gone she had rolled off the mattress that's only about a foot from the ground and rolled under the bed she didn't hurt herself she just giggled and teared up a little cause it caught her off guard I cried and called mom she came and checked her over and calmed me down and I promised never to leave my daughter unattended ever again I am not a bad mum I'm learning just like everyone else there's a time for mistakes because nobody is perfect but we can also Pray ask God for forgiveness and promIse to not make the mistake again and move on learning and doing our best.

Tall tales

They say in Disney World when a child  first giggles a fairy is born well yesterday my daughter laughed for the first time. We were watching backyardagains and she just loved the dancing and singing.i was so glad to see her so happy. Because for the last few days our life has been miserable with the teething. Her two front teething are coming in and the pain has made her drool and cry almost non stop 😢

Proud muma

Two days ago. My little girl rolled over for the first time. It shocked me that she has learned how to do it so fast. She is only three months old. She is also bubbly lots of drool cause wow she is also teething. Breastfeed baby's who knew that they'd get so big so fast. She is almost 15lb's and is about the size of my neighbors one year old; who was bottle fed formula. Geewiz she is going to be a big lil girl. But I will love her no matter how big or small. That's all for today SMILE

Baby's love music

c.s.lewis by Brooke Fraser lyrics

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
Then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[Chorus]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just found? on the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[Chorus]

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, he's coming

King by lauren aquilina lyrics

You're alone
You're on your own
So what, have you gone blind
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Glass half empty, glass half full

Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws.
You've got it all

You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be King again.
You don't get what all this is about
You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt

You've got that young blood, set it free.
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound

There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be King.
There's method in my madness
There's no logic in your sadness
You don't gain a single thing from misery

Take it from me.
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown

You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be King.
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be King again.

New life begins

As she was born, falling forth from the womb, all was silent time just stopped.  Pain was an empty term, all i felt was her. She was mine and i was hers. After all  i have experienced in the past I wouldn't give that moment up for the world. it was life changing. It was like a piece of my soul just broke off and became a part  of a more important a more living being a person who needed life more than me.

So since becoming a Mommy, I've been peed on and spit up on and wow smiled at and my eardrums are broke because wow she has lungs and she knows how to use them.

But she is my "Darling", my "morning glory", my miracle, my " hey sweets", my adorable lil pooins.  I love her.

New feature she shoots poo when she sneezes and makes the duck lips when shes peeing and oh when she smiles she sticks her tongue out and a dimple appears on her right cheek so adorabubbles.

6/12/17 @ 10:34 7lb 6oz
Mirabeth Rayne was born

tip:
they mailed her SS but her birth certificate I had to pay $25 for at the health department

Birth plan but reality

Birth plan checklist (reality)
Pre-labor:
 I'd like to go into labor naturally.
 I'd prefer my water to break on its own. (they broke my water)

Labor:
 I'd like to remain home as long as possible. (friend: get in the car your going to the hospital now)
 I'd like to wear my own clothing for as long as possible. ( strip your wear the ugly hospital thing deal with it.)
 I want to be able to get up and walk around. ( wires included)
Tip: shave down there at home or they'll do it for u
 I prefer not to have an IV during labor.  (they put one in your arm and then never use it)
 I'd like to be able to eat and drink during early labor. (snuck snacks all you get)
 I prefer intermittent instead of continuous fetal monitoring.  (continuouse ugh)
 I'd like to be allowed to push instinctively. ( yes but your doing it wrong now work them butt muscles)

Attendants: dad
 (Mom and girlfriend )

I would like to have the following available  for pain management during labor:
 Music
 Low lighting
 Massage therapy (beg )
shower (only afterbith wah wah)
 Medication (eek no)
 Epidural (hurts u gotta stay still may not numb u completely back labor still painful)

I would like to try:
 A birthing ball (fave)

I would like to try the following positions:
 Semireclining
 Side-lying position
 Squatting
 Hands and knees
 Whatever feels right
(reality u lie on bed legs up  very uncomfy)

My mom or friend would like to help:
 Clamp and cut the umbilical cord  (my mom was the only one given the option)

I would like to:
 Avoid a routine episiotomy (ouch)
 Use a mirror to watch my baby being born (they didnt have one tears)
 Hold the baby immediately after birth (beautiful)
 Breast-feed as soon as possible (during hold)

Postpartum:

 I'd like my baby to stay in the room with me.
 I'd like my baby with me  when I'm awake.
 I'd like my baby brought to me at feeding times.
 I'd like a cot for my mom or friend to stay with me.
 I'd like people to be able to visit me and the baby in the hospital (all good)

Feeding:
 I plan to breast-feed. (took a lil too get used to it but i feel closer to my child its something we can share on a personel level

I'd like to check out of the hospital:
 When it is considered safe for me and the baby to leave together

Hospital Stay checklist

Mommy:
1 Set of Comfy Breastfeeding Pjs. While the hospital gowns will do just fine for the delivery part, it is definitely nice to change into comfortable pajamas when you get a chance to shower.
Personal Toiletries. Toothbrush, deodorant, lotion, hair products, comb/brush… Although most hospitals will have the basics available upon request, using my own products and scents helped me feel a little more like myself.
Going Home Outfit. Something comfy for the car-ride  but something nice for those who might visit that day. I just wanted to feel comfortable. My entire wardrobe for the next 4 weeks consisted basically of cute n comfy.
The hospital will provide you with some “grippy” socks to wear, plus mesh underwear, painspray and pads These will be your favorite things afterbirth.

Breastfeeding:
Breastfeeding Pillow. Because breastfeeding is not as easy as it looks in the movies. While babies are born with a natural sucking reflex and can even squirm all the way to the mother’s breast if left on the mother’s chest, there is much learning to be done for both mom and baby when it comes to breastfeeding.  Finding the right position is not always easy and having a breastfeeding pillow to help provide support can make a big difference. I know it certainly did for me.
I had nipple cream : recent studies show that nipple cream may not be as helpful as we thought after all. The current suggestion seems to be expressing colostrum/breast milk, rubbing it on the nipples, and letting it air dry to help with the dryness and soreness. You can always ask the lactation consultant at your hospital for the more information on this subject.
you can also ask if they have a breast pump available for use if u think  you would do better bottle feeding.

Baby:
Cute Going Home Outfit. Because you want to take some nice pictures to remember the occasion.
Car seat. Because even if you are walking home, they won’t let you leave the hospital without it.
blanket for the car ride home if its winter

Companion during stay wether it be grandma friend or daddy:
A Change of Clothes. Most of the time they can use the shower in the room if they would like. So, If they are  planning to stay in the hospital the entire time, I suggest bringing at least one change of clothes.
Pajamas. Will come in handy if they plan to sleep in the hospital.
Toiletries. Same reason as mommy above.

Additional Items:
Phones and phone chargers. Because you will probably be making lots of phone calls to your family and friends and getting lots of supportive messages on your social media pages
(if you do not have a phone normally the room you stay in for recovery has its own line)
Camera (and memory card, and charger). To record all the details of the joyous occasion.
Snacks. Because who knows how long your are going to be in labor. Unless you can get your friends and family to bring some in, it is always nice to have something for your companion to much on.
Optional Items:
SMALL Comfy Blanket. Because sometimes hospitals rooms can get quite cold and if warm blankets aren’t available having a small fleece might help you get through.
Favorite Playlist. If you think listening to a particular song  will make you feel happier, more relaxed, and help you cope better with the whole delivery process, take it with you.  Most hospitals nowadays also have free WiFi available to their patients.
Extra underwear for mommy, that you dont mind throwing away after use. I know this sounds weird but hear me out.  The moment you are admitted into labor and delivery they will have you remove your undergarmets, and once the baby is born, the hospital will provide you with a few pairs of disposable mesh underwear that will be big enough to fit the large pads you will need right after the delivery. Also, they are likely to get soiled fast and you don’t want to be collecting soiled underwear to take home to wash.
Diapers and wipes. The hospital will usually provide you with appropriately sized diapers and wipes for your newborn for the duration of your stay.
Extra Clothes For Baby. Most hospitals will provide shirts, hats, and blankets for your newborn for your stay. Unless you want to take pictures at the hospital with special outfits, you can just use the hospital outfits so you don’t end up going home with a pile of laundry.

                                                Can't wait to meet    
                                 the Mermaid swimming inside of me    
                                 In June of pearls she'll surface to life    
                               with legs in the air she'll kick an scream
                            As a rainbow bright shall welcome her birth
                                               as the storm subsides
                                                with abundant Joy
                                              i'll look into her eyes
                                              I'll whisper her name
                                        My daughter awakened at last.

Stress, choices and pain

                                    During this kawaii but cruel period of pregnancy.
                               I have been doused with stress of a couple different levels.
           
 For one:    Mom not getting along with my baby's dad. She says that because he is engaged to another woman; coming to see me every once in a while, making sure I am doing OK, and am getting everything I need is wrong. That wanting to be apart of his daughters life and and being my friend is crossing the line. And that I am in the wrong for befriending his fiance and buying my daughter to be's, 1 year old, older brother a birthday gift. Their is many different ways to put sin behind you. But you can never erase it. Only can you hide it with Jesus' light. Forgiveness that is what we have done. If we were to move away from our past and forget about it. Like my mom did with my dad and their sin. I don't believe we'd learn from our mistakes to be able to teach our daughter not to do the same. For in the end I repeated my mother's sin because I was shown that she did not forgive but ran away, and learned that she wasn't  able to learn from her own past the rights and wrongs of the world until it was to late. So it is now my turn to make the choices for my child, follow the plan my mother set for herself and failed or write my own path and see where it leads.

Second:    I woke up this morning with what I found online was called "PPGP" which stands for pregnancy pelvic girdle pain,  "Ouch," I can hardly stand, don't wanna walk, if I spread my legs at all a lightning bolt hits my soul. They say with this pain you can have a natural birth, so I just gotta bite a towel and scream my lungs out. It starts for about one in five pregnant woman in their third trimesters. Its nothing to go to the hospital for, just grit your teeth and bare it. But anyways I have Packed my hospital bag, already for many of my friends think I'll go into labor early like my mom. Its only April I tell them, don't jinx me, for this baby ain't due till the ending of June, till summer begins and flowers bloom.

29 weeks and 4 days, Pray I make it longer than this.

Keep calm I'm 28 weeks pregnant

             As the days go by. I sit in silence, rarely amused by anything but my mother, drooling, asleep in the chair next to me. Hiccups and kicks rumbling in my stomach, as the baby inside begins her existence. This world is cruel, already she is experiencing the annoying repetition, and I get to feel every bit of it. But I must say it is cute to know that she can hiccup and that she is alive inside me.

             I am at the beginning of my third trimester. Even tho I am now wearing humongous sized clothing I still try to look nice when I go out. In the back of my mind when I look at myself in the mirror I want to cry because I never new that I could ever weigh this much. To say in easy terms I weigh more than my mother and shes fat, I am pregnant so I have an excuse. But will the weight really disappear when I deliver because my mom was skinny once too and then she had me.

            Acid, the kind that decays your enamel is also a cruel thing in this world. The dentist has told me that the baby is stealing my calcium and that the acidic food that I have eaten are the cause of my teeth decay. The whole right side top of my teeth are falling apart, disintegrating, and I cant just go and get them all cut out because I am pregnant they cant knock me out or give me the numbing or pain medicine because it could harm the baby so until the baby is born my teeth are going to continue to crumble.

           Soft foods such as Debbiecakes, seaweed chips, spoonfuls of Nuttella, whipped cream, grapes, cucumbers, blueberry waffles, are the cravings of this pregnancy. I am anemic tho so I've gotta eat a lot of iron rich foods as well. Such as eggs, asparagus, seaweed etc and I am continuously eating ice like it has gone out of style.

         Thats all I got to say for now, thanks for reading!
