This post I would like to dedicate to the most amazing man in the world- To My Sweet Levi. I miss him today more than I missed him before and maybe writing about him will make me feel a little bit better. Though we are not married yet, he is already plays a huge role in our family. He is our family. People usually like to measure love by how long people date, their race, income level, ages... but

Sandon turned 22 months on 19th July!!!! Actually same day as my niece's birthday!!! Two months until he turns 2 years old! Our baby boy is getting so big and so adorable as usual!!!I finally figured out what "a ba" means. Other day walking on the street Sandon saw bunch of birds so he ran to them yelling "a ba", "a ba", "a ba"... So I thought there you go. It is "a bird"!!!!Yesterday we went for

My dearest friend sent me an email today with the file attached called "The Essential 55" by Ron Clark with the note "to teach your son:)" Thank you very much Auntie Kookie! I found it very interesting to read and some of the rules I believe I would want us to adopt for our son and our future kids. I don't just want for Sandon to grow up a happy and healthy person, but at the same time a decent

First of all get it out of your head that delivery hurts! It doesn't!!! It amuses me to see on TV how mommies to be push and scream and say "I cannot anymore!":) Yes, you can... We all can!!!!My mom went to get something to drink and my doc was away checking another girl who was about to deliver. I was pretty much alone in the room and felt such a strong enormous feeling to push. It is the same

I am sure that every woman when she gets pregnant starts to wonder about what kind of pain they would have during contractions and to what extent they can bear it. Mothers-friends give us terrible stories of how painful it is and at the same time have NO way of explaining of WHAT kind of pain is that!!!! I thought a lot of HOW to express that pain in words and I think I will be able to sum it up

Oh Wow.... it has been a really loooong time since I posted last time!!!!Sandon is already almost 22 months. Big boy. Weighs 14 kgs and his height is 85 cm. Amazing! Seriously not long time ago he could barely lift his head and now runs around like those bunnies from the battery commercial. But don't get me wrong, I am enjoying every minute of it. Sandon can count from 1 to 10, says some ABC,

Wow, it has been over a year since I posted last time. I will try to post as much as possible. Here I wanted to tell about my labor and how everything actually went.So I started to have very mild contractions two days before the 19th September 2007. Finally on 18th September I went to the doc and she said that I am dilated 2 cm and if I want she can put me in the hospital and I might deliver. I

Our baby today is 35 weeks. 5 Weeks left until he is born. I am very excited. I noticed that with each day I get more and more calm about labor issue. Other day I saw my neighbor who is supposed to give a birth to her baby girl 10 days before me. She kept saying how scared she is to deliver and that she is afraid she will die. It is notwher second pregnancy and labor, and I don't know why she is

I visited my doctor recently and since I have -4 for both eyes, she wanted me to go to optometrist to check my eyes out. Since she wanted to be sure that I can push during labor, and that I can have a natural birth. She told me that there are quite few women who lost all vision when they were pushing. We don’t want that! :) So I went to optometrist, who was so nice. She even gave her home number

I would like to raise issue here about Preeclampsia, a potentially serious condition. Credit goes to The Book “Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth” Preeclampsia also knows as “toxemia”. It characterized by high blood pressure and protein in your urine. Preeclampsia causes your blood vessels to constrict, decreasing blood flow to many of your organs. This can lead to a host of symptoms (See

I do not feel very well today. Actually it started already from yesterday. I have problems with my stomach. I have no clue why. I didn’t eat anything bad for it to hurt, but it does. I read that it is not an unusual thing as organism is cleansing out before labor. I just hope it will over soon. Other than that everything is fine. Baby grows and feels good. I don’t put on weight, which is good as

I can’t believe that there are only six weeks left and maybe even less, if the baby will want to see the world earlier than he is supposed to. We are slowly getting ready for his arrival and it brings us a lot of joy and happiness. I really can’t wait to see our son. I can’t wait to kiss his little cheeks, feet, and hands. I can’t wait for him to look at me and see that it is his mommy holding

Our baby is 33 weeks today with only 7 weeks to go. YAHOO! Baby is growing rapidly and I already have gotten so big. Today I went to the hospital to talk to a doctor who will be delivering our son. I really liked her. Tomorrow we are coming for Doppler sonogram and ultrasound. I will try to get more pictures of our baby son and show them off. Doctor told me that my belly looks a bit bigger than

I found these great tips of how to breastfeed baby correctly, and make him to latch on to the breast properly. This will help make the process pain- free for the first few weeks: (Credit goes to the book: “Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth).- The best latch on position is when your baby has more of the areola below your nipples in his mouth. To accomplish this, line up his nose with your

My insomnia is back. It is a terrible feeling of tossing around all the time, being tired physically, but your mind keeps working and you just can't fall asleep. I tried to clear my mind and not to think of anything, counting till 100, counting sheep, stars- nothing works. So I decided to get my book "Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth" and read what I can do. They have few good things that I

Tomorrow I am 32 weeks. And as you can see on the picture, that's how baby looks now. When I had an ultrasound, I was told that baby lays down in this exact position, which is very good.:)Since we are having a boy, we decided to circumcise him. It is not that we are religious about this, but simply because of the hygiene, and as well because it has health advantages. I read in my book that some

I didn't post a blog for some time. I know BAD me!!!:) I am feeling fine, except as usual getting very tired, having shortness of breath and heartburn. I can't say that my back hurts very much, unless I move too much, sit for a long time or clean the house. Mostly all the weight goes to my feet and buttocks. This is actually called sciatica. With sciatica, you may feel more pain below the knee,

That's right our baby boy just hit 31st week of his growth. It means 9 weeks more and he is going to be right in my arms. Well, maybe earlier. Who knows? I am feeling alright besides it started to be so hot again and I don't like it. As well today I had backache, and I couldn't even sit on a chair. I had to go and lay down for a bit and stretch my back. Baby moves in my belly very often, which

So.... I am feeling much better today.Baby is doing good. I think he sleeps right now. Yesterday when I was getting ready to sleep, he was moving so much and I think I can actually feel what part of the body he kicks me with. I think yesterday I felt foot. It was so sweet. The foot was so small... Two months more and we are having a baby. YAY!!!Well, I was going through today WalMart online store

I am so depressed right now... Do you ever have a feeling that you have made a mistake by choosing a particular path? That you shouldn't have done it, that it wasn't worth it? I have this feeling from time to time and now it gets stronger. I am not sure what to do yet, but I know I will figure out, because I simply don't have a choice. I have to...

Can't wait to see him.Since I am bored, I was going through my wonderful book "Essential Guide To Pregnancy and Birth" and guess what?

I am 30 weeks and 2 days. Time is passing by and I know the next 10 weeks will pass very fast. I had insomnia for the past couple days and just couldn't sleep. First of all I thought I was hot, but then it was actually pretty cool, and I couldn't fall asleep anyway. I tried to clear my mind and count to 100 but nothing helped. I must admit it is a terrible feeling not being able to sleep. But

I am doing good so far, though now I cannot walk without a special bandage around my tummy. When I take it off, I feel like my belly is pulling me down. Believe me, not the best feeling you can ever experience. Our baby is growing rapidly and thus makes me worry about my weight gain. I weighed myself today and so far during all 30 weeks I have gained about 13 pounds. I don't think it is too much

I breath so heavily with each step that i sound like I sound like an old choo-choo train that is climbing up a hill. I don't sleep very well cause I am always hot and plus baby wakes me up by kicking all the time. I think we are having a little owl. He is awake at night and asleep during

Well, as you already know I am due on 1st October and I believe I already have to think about labor. I want to have a completely natural birth, no pain killers, no c-section, no epidural... I have read in my book "Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth", some pros and cons of the most popular pain killer for birth; Epidural. I have heard many different stories that some women enjoyed it, but

Yesterday I visited my friend who delivered a baby girl one and a half months ago. The baby is adorable and so cute. They named her Elizabeth. It was so interesting for me to hear all she had experienced and how the labor affected and how she was feeling through it all. She told me that she was getting ready for the labor from the moment she got to know she was pregnant. She was going to

I just had my usual ultrasound check up because we wanted to know for sure whether it is a boy or a girl. AND drumroll please... we are having a baby boy for sure!!! We are both very excited and happy! I had to make two ultrasounds in order to determine his sex. The first time our baby just didn't want to show us, crossed his legs, like he was resting. He probably was thinking, "What do you want

So..... our baby moves... I know this isn't real news but you should really be here to see HOW he moves. Yesterday I sat in a chair and decided to watch his movements. I am really so curious what exactly he is doing. Imagine my belly and that one side is so much bigger than the other. That's how our baby wants lay all the time. I start to wonder is it his head, his butt, or he is pushing his leg

Our Baby is 28 weeks and it makes us very happy. It means we have another 12 weeks to go and our little one will arrive. Scary and exciting at the same time!!! I feel fine, except I get tired so easily. As well, as have I have a constant backache that sometimes gets so unbearable. Today I went to swim with my mom and had a great time. I heard from someone that swimming really eases the backache

Today our baby is 27 weeks... Few weeks more and we will have our little treasure in our arms. Today I sang to baby... Honest to say I am not good at singing, but this way he will get used to it and will know it is mommy. Well, I am feeling pretty good today, though my back hurts, and I have cramps in my legs. I am sure the reason is that they simply are carrying extra weight.:) Believe me though

I went to the doctor today for a random check up. Tomorrow I am suppose to know the results, though I am pretty sure everything is just fine. Well, time is going by so fast and I realize that very soon I will go into labor. It scares me from one side and doesn't from another. I know in order to be able to deliver without any problems, I need to learn how to breath properly during contractions and

I had a wonderful dream today about our little baby. I don't exactly remember all the details but I remember being in labor and delivering our son. Yes, it was a boy!!! His skin was actually glowing, like an angel. He had blue eyes. The Baby opened his sweet eyes, smiled and made me so happy. And... I woke up... :( I don't like to wake up from these kind of dreams... But when I woke up I realized

Today our baby is 26 weeks and 5 days. As you can see on the picture we are getting big... Baby's ears are better developed and more sensitive right now. I believe he already can hear my voice and my mom's when we talk, and even distinguish which voice it is. The skin started to get smooth and looking all cute. God, I can't wait to kiss this sweet skin, and feel how baby grabs my finger, and

Today was supposed to be the due date of one of my friends... but... baby died few months ago.... His name was Benjamin... And I want to dedicate today's blog entry to him and his family. This is something that one never wishes anyone to experience. I remember my mom telling me that the worst thing that can ever happen to a parent is to live longer than his/her child... I cannot imagine the pain

This is my first post in this blog. While I am writing I feel how our baby kicks inside me. This Baby is only 6 and half months, and he is already loved so much. I picture him every day. I think of how he will look at me, how he will smile. I was told before that when I first got pregnant that I would love this baby more than anything. I denied this at first, but I feel already how much I love
