Congratulations!! Get ready for the ride of your life; parenthood is the most incredible adventure. Enjoy every moment; you won't believe how fast he grows! (I distinctly remember looking at my 2-month-old son and thinking, "Who took my newborn and replaced him with this 2-month-old???")

Jeanne

Jewels,

THANKS! :D Yep, he is such a blessing. :wub: I've turned into one of those mothers who whips out the photos of her baby for everyone from the grocery store clerk to the postman! :lol:

Jeanne,

Yep, I already have had the thought "who took my newborn and gave me this 2-month old?" It happened a few weeks ago when he outgrew his first outfit. I wanted to cry, but instead I folded it up to put in my keepsake box. Gee whiz, I've turned into this sappy nutcase! :D It was 2 a.m. and I was changing a poopy diaper and I couldn't shove his leg in the little jumper; I realized he was too long for it and I just lost it! (keep in mind, I was also sleep deprived). I debated on whether or not to go get the scissors and cut the feet out of the jumper and shove him into it or just accept that my baby was growing up. :blink: I finally decided on the latter of the choices. (although, to tell the truth, all that saved that outfit is that I couldn't find the scissors)! ;)

Hugs and blessings. -Julie

Well, enjoy sappy nutcase-dom; it's the best part, I think. And the sleep deprivation will eventually get better too! :)

Jeanne

HAAA! :lol: Thank you, I will try! He is constantly shoving his right hand in his mouth, and everyone keeps telling me that he's hungry...but I know he's not. He's just at that stage where he's discovering he can fit his hand in his mouth whenever he wants to do it. If I fed him everytime he shoved that fist into his mouth, he would have a bottle all day! :rolleyes: He's also started this new thing of trying to chew on his tongue and stick it out; again, people say that this gesture means he's hungry too. I really can't see how he can be constantly hungry; I think he's discovering his body. Any thoughts? :huh:

Blessings to all.

There seem to be two (maybe more) trains of thought. There is the: if he makes a noise or movement he is hungry crowd, and the baby doesn't need to eat every minute crowd. When my daugher was six weeks old, I was at my mom's and my daughter started to fuss. I started to nurse her (again!) and my mom told me to hand her over. She walked around with her a little and she settled right down. She taught me not to automatically feed the baby everytime she fussed. I was able to spread the feedings apart so I could get a little rest in between. My twin sister however belonged to the other camp and every time her babies made a noise she'd feed them. All of our kids have turned out fine. I liked my way better for me and my sister liked her way better for her. You'll get lots of advice with your kids. Figure out what works for you and don't worry about it.

Thanks for your response! :) What you said makes sense. And my baby is healthy; he is "officially" two months today and weighs about 15 pounds...so he's eating well! :P Being a first time mom, I'm trying to take all opinions into consideration. But I guess I know my child best. Thank you for sharing your story!

-Julie

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
