Bad Momma!!

Ok, I know I've said it before that we're pretty AP but today Bub informed me that he is sick of being unable to sleep in our bed because of Ladybug being in there (we have a king bed so plenty big but he can't get into a deep sleep because he's worried he'll roll over on her or something) So I had her take her nap in her crib (instead of the swing like normal) and I've put her to bed in her crib and I'm waiting for her to wake in a few like normal and I'll put her to bed in there again and then go to bed myself. When she wakes up to nurse again I'll bring her to bed with me pushing it further and further each day until she's spending the night in her own room (SCARY, I know) I was doing really well with only letting her stay with me until the sun came up until Bub was home all last week and he wanted to go to bed earlier than Ladybug and I normally do so I would fall asleep in our bed with her before she was asleep enough to move!! When I was pregnant and before this was one of my Never Shall I Ever... and then she got here!! I never would have expected to be so terrified of something so completely normal!!! But.........I am...... You can laugh......I do LOL
Alrighty Internet peeps I'm headed to bed
I'll let ya'll know how my re-training of Ladybug goes!! LOL

I'm Trying!!!

So we got the new washer and I've been doing laundry all day (seeing's how easily it all stacks up when you can only do laundry in the cover of darkness) LOL (long story short: our drain for the washer was plugged up with NO way thru so I would put the washer drain line out the window and let it drain onto the ground but couldn't do it during the day;) haha) But last week I did the Carmen Electra Striptease once and I'm really going to try to do it at LEAST every other day this week!!! I'm also trying to get all my cleaning done today so I don't have to do it ALL week again.
One more thing I'm trying to do...figure out what I'm gonna do with Ladybug at night... it's official she's too big to be sleeping in the bassinet and Bub is against co-sleeping (I used to be too until I think about putting my 3 month old in another room where :gasp: she might not be able to let me know she's hungry) I know I just said that as though I'm messing around but I'm being completely serious. It scares the bejesus outta me!!! Bub says "she's not gonna wither away she's got plenty of meat on her bones" but didn't like that I reminded him that he likes to complain when he's hungy even though he's got more meat on his bones than Lexy or I will ever have!!! I just don't know how people can do it. I've even thought about disassembling her crib and setting it up in our room. Seriously I don't know what to do!!! Right now she sleeps in the bassinet until the sun comes up and then I let her sleep with me... I know I know that's horrible for her... but she likes it and I like being allowed to sleep past 6 in the morning! Please if you have any suggestions lemme know!!!

Add Babywearing to this AP Momma!!

My new meitai carrier will be here this afternoon!! And our solarveil ring sling either tomorrow or Friday!!! I'm so stoked (yes I just said STOKED!!!) I know it's middle of March in Iowa and we're already starting the flooding crap so a Solar Veil you ask... well besides being a UV blocker it's also a lighter weight fabric and with the Ladybug already being such a warm body like her Daddy I can't imagine having a moby or any of the others I've read are warm!! I can't wait!!
So I'm really in to AP (attachment parenting) not that I decided to be I read about it and after thinking about it that's just where my beliefs on raising the Ladybug are... granted there are some differences. I don't cloth-diaper (I don't have a washer right now so that's a GOOD thing) I had an epi for labor (and LOVED it LOL) I'm pretty sure if we have a boy he will be circumsized (which isn't actually attachment parenting but a lot of AP'ers are also anti-circumcision) And lastly I'm pretty sure we might be spankers but that will come with time more than likely that will be a "threat" taken care of by Bub so I'll be one of those "just you wait until your dad gets home" type of moms...which is ok with me.

Hello To All

Hey to anybody who has accidentally stumbled upon this blog. I'm really just starting this as a way to document all the important happenings as my baby girl grows up. I'm not going to use our real names just some nicknames to help keep our identities safe :D

Ladybug is now 6 and a half weeks old and she was a long struggle to get Bub and I really appreciate her. This week has been especially tough as she caught both RSV and Brochiolitis at the daycare. I'm supposed to go back on Monday but the doc wants us to wait until the middle of the week which kinda puts me in a predicament...we need the money but if Ladybug doesn't heal up all the way I'm gonna miss even more work as she gets sick more and more.

Right now we are having to do a neb treatment every 4 hours at least and she's still having a hard time breathing.  I have her sitting in the stroller beside me right now so the pups will stay outta her face since they often love her too much to let her sleep on their own levels LOL

Mmmmkay so I guess I should tell ya that I'm a 23 year old who has been married to Bub for three years and dated him for three before that...yep high school sweethearts. I'm an old fashioned lady who would rather stay at home and home school our babies than send 'em off to have someone else raise 'em. I truly love children (they don't even have to be mine) and I don't understand why people would decide to have children and WANT to send them somewhere else for 9-12 hours a day (no offense just my personal opinion)

I'm probly gonna gross ya'll out sometimes and whatever but I like to say what's on my mind (hence the reason this is literally a stream of conscience and will prolly offend at least a few people)

Yesterday I got my IUD I'm a little concerned since we had to try for 2 years to get the Ladybug but that was with the shot which says in all the information that it can take 12-18 months to be outta your system. I have decided I want the babes to be less than two years apart so this winter we'll prolly start trying for #2 :D I know what you're thinking... Lady you just had a baby ripped outta your abdomen 6 weeks ago and you're already thinking when you're gonna do it again??? But yeah I don't want Ladybug to be an only child and I don't want a big age gap between 'em so I have to think of these things...

Alright for now I'm gonna let ya'll go so that I can clean the house a touch before the Ladybug wakes and needs a treatment and a little Boob (ps I'm still nursing her) Later Ya'll
