So only after a few days of nursing, Shai acquired thrush. It’s a yeast infection of the mouth and he most likely got it from me!! The Dr has prescribed nystatin drops which I give to him orally, 1 ml, 4 x’s a day. I am also treating my nipples with it. Well, after just [...]

For the longest time I’ve used several nicknames for Oden. The ones I use the most are… pumpkin, pumpkin pie, angel, baby, and now Big Boy. His favs are pumpkin and big boy. If I call him baby, he corrects me and says… “No, I not a baby, I a big boy!”
These nicknames have naturally transfered [...]

Shai is now 17 days old and we’ve had 15 days home with him and still trying to adjust! Oden LOVES his little brother Shai and says so often. He is, however, acting up a ton, but that’s another post…
The other day I sponge-bathed Shai and dressed him in a sharp white/navy striped jumper from [...]

Light brown hair, like Daddy’s. Long but thinner than Oden’s was. Also looks like he has a receding hair line, which may be due to the fact that his forehead was cozied up against my placenta for so long.

Triangular nostrils and longer nose than Oden’s. I [...]

I’ve got the baby blues. 6 days after Shai came into our world… I am feeling extremely sad. Of course I’m extremely happy, but like when we had Oden, our whole world has changed. I love all my boys to death. But I am struggling w/ how to split up my time and love for [...]

The next morning we got up to see Shai as soon as we could. We got to the NICU just before seven and got to hold him for the 1st time!! He was precious. They had taken him off the O2 during the nite and he was breathing fine on his own. However, the next [...]

I had a natural child birth. Just as I had wanted… but who would’ve thought I was actually going to be able to do it?! It hurt like hell, I seriously forgot just how bad it was. However, I am pretty proud of myself. It went VERY quickly…
It started with contractions on Mon nite (Feb 1st). I [...]

As of today we are exactly 36wks along! And as u know, I’ve already passed my mucus plug and I’m feeling very ready to have Shai! I am feeling extremely uncomfortable and it hurts to move. My belly is HEAVY! Last nite, I started having frequent and more uncomfortable Braxton Hicks contractions. My back was [...]

I lost my mucus plug! 2 days ago!! I had just had a prenatal visit w/ the doula, CM, and had been holding my pee. As soon as she walked out the door I ran to the bathroom. And wouldn’t u know it, there it was on my undies. A colorless glob of mucus the [...]
