I need to get more creative with disciplining my 4 year old. The corner just does not cut it anymore, even if I make him stand there 20 minutes (The rule is that if he tries to come out of the…Continue
Hormone release while nursing/pumping
Started this discussion. Last reply by Shanna Benson Nov 18, 2012. 4 Replies 0 Likes
I have a 4 day old, and am nursing. Every time I nurse (and the occasional pump to relieve the fullness) I feel this release of hormones that comes out as pure sadness. Like a heartache almost.…Continue

Post Partum Shedding
My daughter is almost 4 months old...over the past month or so I have begun shedding like a dog! It's terrible! I've always lost hair while in the shower, since my hair is really thick...but this is ridiculous. It doesn't matter how many times I run my fingers through my hair, strands will always fall out. I've heard of this happening after having a baby...my question is...what the heck do I do about it?! Is it going to stop, or is this my new normal?Sincerely,ThankGodmyhairissothickorI'dbebaldSee More

Downside of Breastfeeding
Posted on December 5, 2012 at 9:48am 2 Comments 4 Likes
I hate that, at the moment, I am more compelled to write this blog than the birth story blog for my daughter. But I feel like it is important to write, not only as a self-therapy, but as a message to other mothers who may experience what I am going through now, and also to my daughters. My two sweet daughters who will one day have their own babies (God willing) and may have the same feelings I am. I want them to know that while motherhood is the best thing to ever happen to me, and while…
Continue Potty Training Chronicles
Posted on November 3, 2012 at 1:06pm 0 Comments 1 Like
Dear Nevaeh,
Potty training. Where do I begin....I suppose Day 1 is a good start. We dove head on into this adventure 3 days ago, though I introduced you the potty several months ago. You had peed in it a few times, but generally weren't interested and sometimes flat out cried for a diaper, and I wasn't going to push you. These past 3 days have been much better, and you have been as enthusiastic as me! Maybe more so. Allow me to elaborate...
Day 1. Oh, and let me…
Pregnancy Blues(?)
Posted on August 19, 2012 at 6:40pm 6 Comments 1 Like
I think I've hit a snag in my so far perfect pregnancy. Pretty sure I have the blues...and to be honest, I'd trade it for morning sickness!
My poor husband has suffered the most, because he's the only one I have (in this zip code) to talk to. My family is busy, and lately it's been so hard getting ahold of them that I feel like something is wrong. The same with everyone else too. I feel like a bother, even though I don't nag or complain to anyone, and nothing has happened…

Wednesday Chris, Nevaeh and I anxiously drove to my Doctor's appointment. The only appointment I required Chris to go to (Not that he objected). The Gender Appointment. The nurse weighed me, and I had finally gained a pound (Dr. Davy did say I should try to increase my calories a little, to make sure I don't lose anymore....as I had lost 7 pounds prior to gaining that 1. Not sure how I lost, since I had absolutely no sickness).

Katie M said… Bethany! It has been going pretty well. I have been pretty much swamped with school work, but since it is finally finals week, I have a little bitty bit of a break. Kind of ironic that it takes finals week to get a break =/ but anyway! We are doing really well. Jacob is running around all over. He has been really sick lately, but I think he is finally getting over it. Gavin finally got a job.. it's only part time and it isn't in his field, but it'll help get us through. Baby Easton is due December 30, but I'm already 2 cm. I hope that he stays in the oven a little longer though. At least until I'm finished with finals. I still keep feeling like I have months to prepare for him, but really if I make it to my due date it's only 23 days. His room isn't even completely ready and I don't have any bags packed. In fact, we don't even have his hospital clothes picked out lol.. I'm such a slacker this time around, but I guess I better get on that.
How is Nevaeh? After her cast came off did she go right back to running around, too? I thought of you the other day! Remember I had posted about the blog that suggested the 30 day Sex Challenge with your husband? Well, the same friend that I got that one from (which isn't all about sex) gave me another blog to look at that I thought you might like. It is also a Christian site, but it's very.. open.. about things. I'll give you the links if you'd like to go check it out =) I said linkS because it also has a "Generous Wife Daily Tip" that you can check on the website or subscribe to.. or both =/ And also, there was one extra one.. guess she had shown me two different ones.. now I kinda feel like a freak lol.. Anyway, I hope that all is going well for you and your family. Was Thanksgiving good? Are you ready for Christmas? I feel like there is a lot to catch up on lol

Hey Bethany, it definitely has been a while! I haven't been on for quite some time. We are all doing pretty well. I'm due at the end of December and the pregnancy is going alright. I found out Monday that I'm borderline diabetic =( Hopefully diet can get it to go away. I don't want the complications that often come with gestational diabetes!! How are y'all doing? How is Nevaeh? Did she get right back in the groove of walking once her cast was removed?

- Bethany, how does someone go about adding a group to the site? I don't know if we already have one for moms of teenagers, but I saw a lady saying that we should have one and I said that I thought she could get one created or create one somehow and was wondering if you know how? I think she had posted on the main page of the Stay at Home Moms group.
