RACISM IN NORTH AMERICA EXPOSED: Beware of racist and racially intolerant white societies in North America wilfuly engaging in ugly deeds of racial profiling of non-whites, in racial harassment of non-whites, and in racially dehumanizing attempts to racially harass non-whites through intimidating physically, mentally, and spiritually; portraying their racial hatred of non-whites through provocations and false implications, through causing wilfull and dehumanizing disturbance to non-whites through using illegal wall-see-through technologies and audio-bugs on non-whites' homes; through listening and watching through the walls of non-whites' rented and owned homes, through infiltrating into their internet and private telephones, and through using tempest technology to infiltrate as ugly parasites into others' computers' hard-drives that amounts to illegal plagiarism and privacy violations. The perpetuators of these evil deeds do this from their cars and from neighborhoods on and off work, using illegal equipment slyly given to them by the unworthy cops, and then accelerating their cars loudly and intimidatingly near non-whites' homes and driving intimidatingly in presence of non-whites on streets, making threatening u-turns, driving intimidatingly right up and over sidewalks when a non-white is on the sidewalk, throwing their ugly bullying weight around, in their shameless acts of cowardice. It is all done slyly, supposedly smartly, either loudly or silently; however, they cannot fool all the people all the time. The cops also participate themselves to wail their sirens abusively everytime non-whites move and talk inside their rented and owned homes in daily routine living, in addition to having their henchmen and henchwomen, and often, using their non-white gutless henchmen and henchwomen in cars, transport, shopping centers, neighborhoods, etc, to commit these ugly harassing racially profiling deeds at all times day and night. Using non-whites to engage in racial harassment of other non-whites is an obnoxiously evil sinister humanely disgraceful intelligent move of the whites well-known for their ugly divide and rule tactics through using their non-white henchmen and henchwomen who just do as they are told and are full of racial intolerance towards non-whites. It's a shameful disgrace when the so called protectors of law turn into abusers of law themselves and throw the weight of their uniforms and law around as cowards. So, they and their henchmen and henchwomen, appear to be very law respecting on the outside; however, they network cowardly to commit sly acts of provocation to non-whites all the time, which is supposed to be legally acceptable. Is watching through walls of non-whites homes, bugging their homes, working in networking syndicates against them, committing human rights and privacy violations against them, slyly committing heinous deeds of planned provocations againts them, falsely implicating them, etc, supposedly lawful for the whites? Who makes those laws that favor only the whites? The law itself has racism in its clauses. The ugly inner dirt of the perpetuators of these evil deeds of racism do not deserve to step into religious institutions for their ugly deeds - such as, if you ain't white, you ain't right? Oh! Really? The white colonialism is responsible for the world's evils today. Nicely dressed, beautiful people, magnificient concrete jungles, clean roads and lawns, sweet polite talkers on the outside, full of ugly stench in their souls, that is the cause of these racist policies that are outrightly biased against non-whites. What a shame! Most of these ugly acts of dehumanizing racial profiling depict the cowardice of the doers of these deeds in the real sense, and are done at the behind the scenes insistence of the racially intolerant white cops and racist white societies through their frontline stooges. However, without physical evidence, the white cops, security, societies, and their henchmen and henchwomen are laughing sinisterly at their heinous deeds and the legal system seems to support this evil through its inability to take action without physical evidence. Their racial profiling penetrates public transport systems, shops and stores to do all they can to make the non-whites feel unwelcome in their dehumanizing acts of racial profiling against non-whites and those who don't conform to their nonsense. The white cops, security, and white communities use their henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are told and from behind the safety cushion of their oil-guzzling, pollution creating, often dark-glassed vehicles to intimidate and harass non-whites in obnoxious racial profiling that reflects the immoral, despotic, and cowardly behaviour of racially intolerant white cops, security, communities and their dumb henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are told, fuelled as they are in their racial frenzy, thanks to the racially manipulative corporate controlled media. Additionally, they twist the word of the Lord against those who dare to oppose their racism. This reflects that they cannot bear the truths of their racism exposed. Volunteers are welcome to circulate this information to all they know to put an end to this abuse and violations of human rights committed by immorally misbehaved white cops, security, white communities, public transports, shops, stores, etc, and their dumb henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are told in their racial frenzy. Save this information on your computers before any cowards remove it from the websites. Racism is immoral and dehumanizing behaviour that reflects the "incapable to perform humanely" quality of those who are racist and are being watched from God's court above in ways they cannot be expected to be capable to perceive yet. It's a shame when obnoxious stench of racism comes from people in so called rich countries. It's even more of a shame when words are twisted by media to influence young minds with lies. It's even more of a shame when so called authorities perpetuate racism and behave racistly and enforce racist policies and behaviour through intimidating means amidst outer sweet and polite talks. Racism seems to be prominent among so called white people in rich countries who cannot bear non-whites from other countries of origin. Planet Earth belongs to people of Earth. Highly educated people of high intellectual calibres, rich bosses and CEOs, etc, of rich countries are a blotch on humanity and their material levels when they haven't yet evolved to basic human concepts of all humans have red blood irrespective of race. Racism stems from social attitudes that are perpetuated by racist societies, the media, the authoritarians, and the peers. It's time to say, shame on all those who perpetuate racism and racist attitudes. http://www.hightechharassment.com/http://groups.google.com/group/alt.law-enf..._thread/thread/a10ffa62bed24f16 http://groups.google.com/group/alt.law-enf...ndon-ontario/topicshttp://groups.google.com/group/alt.law-enf..._thread/thread/a10ffa62bed24f16#99f227b5944081c7 http://cryptome.org/tempest-scotus.htmhttp://www.uhuh.com/reports/headsup/fron232.htm#Copyhttp://www.rmc.ca/academic/gradrech/millimeter-e.pdfhttp://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/07_01.pdfhttp://www.nlectc.org/techbeat/summer2000/LookWallsSum2000.pdfhttp://www.akelainc.com/pdf_files/SPIE0405.pdfhttp://www.courant.com/news/custom/topnews...s,0,7081907.story?coll=hc_tab01_layout http://www.blackcommentator.com/70/70_cover_white_terror.htmlhttp://school.familyeducation.com/african-...y/racism/47434.html"Criminal" White Terrorist in Chicago Vs.

i saw a question posted by a woman named shenita about suggestions on hair care for black infants, and i had a similar question regarding that! First off, i have a 7 1/2 month old and i use a product called lano-lustre on her and it works great! It promotes hair growth and is a good moisterizer...it says on the jar to start using at 8 months but i startedusing it at about 4 months just on the hair and not the scalp. I also wanted to kno if anyone out there knows of a good shampoo for black infants because johnson's is not cutting it!
thanks all

Hello, I am a new mom of 2 months with my second child. Recently I have been experiencing fear of dying everytime I have an ache or pain. For instance, I had a pain in my head and immediately thought that I might have a brain tumor. I guess my big fear is that I will die and not be here for my children. I am looking to see if anyone else has gone through this or had similar feelings and what might be causing this. Any suggestion regarding getting help would be appreciated.
One more thing - the physical symptoms seem real - for instance the headache or sinus pressure and they could be real - but the worry associated with this - is that normal or am I just making myself physically ill by having the thoughts of death.

On black hair care for a infant, just wash the hair with water and air dry the hair. Use a few tiny drops of mineral oil to the scalp and the hair should grow quite nicely. I would avoid hair care moisturizers and any chemicals until the baby is at least over a two or three years old. The hair is so fragile at this age.

Does anyone have any suggestions on hair care for black infants. My one month old has a head full of hair and I have been trying to find some baby moisturizer. Soft and Precious was okay, but I would welcome any other suggestions.

Hi Everyone,
As most everyone here... I am also a new mother of a 9 month old who still does not sleep througout the night. I read a lot of the other posted messages and was wondering what "Babywise" is and if it is too late for me to start it with my son. Do any of you other mothers have/had the same problem and know what I should do? I'm desperate because I'm trying to start school at night and don't think I can handle it or even find a babysitter if he does not sleep through the night. Help if you can please!

Anyone have a similar situation? I have a nine week old baby girl who we are doing Babywise/Prep for Parenting. We had great success with our 4 year old (he still naps 3-4 times a week!)Overall she is doing well, but recently has been waking early from her naps. We have tried soothing her, letting her cry and although she is clearly tired, she won't go back down. When she does'nt nap well this affects her night sleep and then the cycle just continues. We are at a 3 hour schedule... I hesitate to push it to 3 1/2 since her night sleep is not totally consistant. Any ideas? Also, she is fussy from about 5:30 on, the last two naps of the day are very difficult and we usually have to hold a pacifier in her mouth until she falls asleep. She is taking 5 naps and then her nightime sleep.

Hi, my 7 month old just started daycare. We do "Babywise" and it has worked beautifully for us (it worked great on my 3 year old as well). My baby started sleeping through the night at about 9 weeks. She is now on 2 naps a day, with a 3rd in the early evening. My issue is that since she started daycare, the daycare keeps trying to move her to one nap a day along with the other babies. There are 8 babies total in the room, ranging from 6-12 months old. While I was told that every baby is on its own schedule, this is not the case as I see them trying to make them all nap at the same time. The try to keep my daughter up, at which point she is overstimulated, then they try to feed her!!! All she wants to do is sleep! By the time I pick her up (she only does half days right now), she has barely slept and is upset. I keep talking to them about her schedule and why it needs to be so, but they keep trying to keep her up. Any advice? She seems to be the only baby that has this issue there.

Hello Everyone,
I stumbled on this site while researching material on "Why Black kids don't read & Why the Black Community doesn't seem to care". I got side tracked because I had no idea that there was such a site. I am a mother, 40, and I have two grown children and a 14 year old. I love being a mom and I would not trade it for the world. It's so refreshing to see that young Black mom's are in there and caring about the health and welfare of their children. Even though I don't have babies anymore, I still work with small kids and I hope and pray that each and every one of you that comes to this site will continue to support and communicate with each other and be united when in raising your children and united in dealing with issues that will affect your children. Be active in their education and NEVER limit your children. If your child is three, three can do what six can do. Don't set limits but, don't push either. I have been teaching 16 years and every child who is supported and love at HOME is successful in school. Allow your children to enjoy their natural progression. Reading at three is great but reading and not being able to comprehend is pretty much a waste of time. Love is the key ingredient to SUCCESS!!!

Lena,
It is okay to let him chew on various items. He is learning and exploring through touch and tasting, so to speak. I think that as long as you limit his choices of what to put in his mouth to his toys, or teething rings he should be fine. Be careful not to let him chew on toys made for older kids or items made out of materials that you are unsure of. For example, we have a little football here that my son loves to play with, but I don't let him chew on it since I really don't know what they used to make the material on it. Other than that, his baby toys are fine. Also, you may not have to discipline him each time he puts something you dont want in his mouth, just see if replacing it with something acceptable works for you.

Thank you soo much "prettigirl" :-) Today was much better. He took a 2 hour nap. Also I let him chew on just about anything is there any research out there that supports babies gnawing habits and their teeth development? I want to make sure he doesn't grow up with crooked teeth due to the various objects I let him chew on. I don't want to discipline EVERY TIME he puts a toy in his mouth. As long as the toy is safe and he cannot swallow it, I usually let him chew on it. But should I be doing this?

Lena,
My six-month-old started doing the same thing a few weeks ago. From all descriptions, it sounds as if it's due to his teething. I say cuddle him as much as you can--don't worry about spoiling him because as long as you're a good disciplinarian, he'll be fine. Also, allow others to cuddle him. This teething thing is only temporary, so keep your sanity!

Hey Everyone,
I am a new mama of a 7 mo old. He use to be so laid back and calm and it took very little to entertain him. But now, as of the last week or so he has been EXTREMELY fussy. Nothing seems to satisfy him. I am frustrated b/cI don't know if I should just let him cry it out or if I should pick him up and cuddle him. I am afraid of spoiling him, but I don't want to neglect him either. He is teething. His bottom 2 just came in about 2 weeks ago, but no sign of any more. And he doesn't have a fever. Does anyone have any suggestions. What do you think? Should I pick him up or should I let him cry it out.
Also when I do play with him he still does not stop crying. This is frustrating b/c for the first 6 months, he was nothing like this and now all of sudden he seems to be changing....is this normal?
Please help, advice, suggestions.
Lena

Hi Rhoda,
I have three children. My youngest is 3 mos and she sleeps through the night wonderfully, as my other two did. I must admit that I read the book "On becoming Baby Wise" and this has been the key to my family's success. My son slept through the night at 6 wks, my daughter slept through the night at 5 wks and my youngest start sleeping through the night at about 8 wks. There is hope. The key is to establish a schedule and ensure your baby takes in the right amount of milk at each feeding time as well as laying the baby down for a nap after being up a certain amount of time. It seems challenging in the beginning for all parties involved (parent/baby), but the rewards are wonderful -- a well rested parent and baby. I hope you find success in whatever route you choose for you and your baby :)

Hi Rhoda,
Oh geez...can I relate but my daughter sleeps well. She just stays up so late and I know I'm to blame because I go to bed so late. In addition she will not sleep for longer than 2 hours in her crib...once she's in my bed she sleeps the whole night through. Her ped. suggested adding extra fluff to her mattress and we did that and it has not worked...she likes sleeping in bed between myself and husband.
Since I'm at stay-at-home mom I think I just allow her to go to bed late and sleep with us...I don't know if my tolerance level would be the same if I had to work every morning.
My daughter wouldn't go to sleep AT ALL but what eventually worked for me was going to bed with her and laying her down...I think this can also be attributed to her sleeping with me...but it worked and she's been sleeping through the night since 4.5/5 months...she's 7.5 months now.

Hello Everyone,
I am a mother of two; a wonderful and lively 9mth old girl and a intelligent and handsome 15 year old son. I had my son when I was very young, and still in college. My parents basically raised the two of us together. Now that I am much older and wiser, I still need help and advise with this new child. She sleeps to the beat of her own drum. I have tried scheduled naps, bathtime and bedtime and just letting her chose her bedtime but nothing is regular and constant. I stay at home with her and have time to try new techniques. I would like her to have better sleep habits. any suggestions.

hey angela,
girl my baby won't take ANY bottles (avent, dr. brown's,
playtex....NOTHING). she will drink from a cup...she's not quite 6 months yet...so her handle of the cup is a little awkward but she knows it goes in her mouth.
i just decided to continue to nurse her for a little longer. even though i have a great madela electric pump very little comes down after minutes of pumping...so pumping hasn't been as smooth as i thought.
thank you for your input. i just may have to cold cold turkey with her once i'm serios to weaning.

i weaned my first child by putting pumped breast milk in a bottle. try Avent bottles. it worked and so once he turned 1 years old...i took him off of breast and the bottle totally. he could only use sippy cups. i know it may sound harsh but it worked.

One thing you may want to try is getting the Playtex bottels that reqire the desposable bags, pump your breast milk and give it to your child in the bottel. She may refuse the first few times but just keep trying :-)

First, congratulations on breastfeeding this long!
Second, congratulations on asking for advice b/c you really want to what's best for your daughter.
I would be remiss if I didn't encourage you to HANG IN THERE. You can still take off weight while continuing to nurse. And while pumping is not fun, if you have a place to pump at work, it will be a HUGE benefit to your daughter.
Getting to 12 months would be amazing.
Also note that just b/c your daughter is doing well with solids, it's not enuf. Latest stats show our kids really need the nutrients from breastmilk or formula for 2 years. And breastmilk of course is far superior.
That said, will she take formula from a sippy cup?
You really cannot wean or go back to work until she will take formula or pumped milk from a cup or a bottle. Since I'm sure that you must need to go back to work (I did too), you have to start here, whether or not you wean.
Suggestion: try pumped breastmilk in the sippy cup if you haven't. Also try mixing in different proportions with formula.
Try having someone, other than you, give it to her and you shouldn't be around when this is tried.
Also, once she's ready with solids, definitely go heavier on the protein (meat and beans) if she's not drinking as much pumped milk or formula. It's probably impossible for her to get her needs met in this regard thru food, but it helps.
Please check with her pediatrician about this. Brain development is key during this time period.
Respectfully, I do not know your personal situation. But, again, please consider hanging in there with nursing. I'd be happy to talk to you offline about it. You can email me at charisse@nunesproductions.com
Much love to you and your daughter!

hey ladies,
after 5.5 months of breastfeeding...i'm done. i'll be going back to work soon and would love to have my daughter weened by that point. in addition i no longer want to pump because each boob feels like it weighs 30 lbs and i want to begin taking some weight off.
she's sorta ok with the idea of a sippy cup, as she will hold it and attempt to drink from it, because she will NOT take a bottle under any circumstances. she's already eating rice cereal and oatmeal and will begin next week with stage one fruits (apples, pears, bananas...which i will be processing for her using organic fruits).
in the meantime, PLEASE offer me advise on weening my daughter.

Congrats on your pregnancy. A small amount of fear is expected for a first time mother, so dont feel quilty. My advice to you is that you empower yourself with knowledge and learn as much as you can about the normalcy of pregnancy and birth. A great reading is Ina Mae Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth. Also hire a doula (continuous labor support). You can find a doula in your area by using www.bellywomen.net or www.dona.com I wish you the best and a happy Birth Day

Hi Sandra,
I'm not in N. NJ but I live in NYC. What county are you in? Anyway girl I am almost dreading going back to work...I realize it's criminal in the U.S. for companies to only give 8 weeks maternity leave...if they give it at all. My friends have gone back to work with a two month old..one had to take an add'l month off at her expense. I don't know how we do it. My daughter is almost 5 months old and she still doesn't sleep through the night, I find that being up with her in the early morning I am a zombie by noon with all the other things I do as a stay-at-home mom. It's tough. I'll be looking to go back when she's 6 months old.
In terms of your husband it is important you let him know you need him. I told my fiance when I'm back at work FT like he is now the dynamics will have to change and what I do now is slowly divide household chores, etc. I was constantly frustrated at him but when I talked to him (not yell or nag) and asked or told him things that need to be done...he had no problem. I realized I was getting frustrated because I expected him to just do..but unfor. my him he doesn't think like that. I have to point things out to him or say "this or that needs to be done and i need your help."
you aren't being selfish and you arent' alone. perhaps you and your husband should find a babysitter for one evening and go out to dinner and it doesn't have to be fancy or incorporate family day. my fiance, baby and myself go out together as a family...such as Ihop or Friendly's, etc. His mother is very good about babysitting and on occassion we will ask her to babysit so we can go out. Those moments are priceless.
i hope this helps and please know you are not alone. family life can be tough but we have all the tools we need to sustain and when the difficulties come it's nice to post on a board such as this.

Anybody in Northern NJ- I am 30 yrs old & have a 4 month old, my husband & I were trying for 5 Years so believe me I am thankful to have finally conceived, I am now back at work & feel my world crashing around me, always running late, always tired, never have time for anything but the baby, lost the pounds immediately after having the baby but now I feel them coming back on. My husband is too wonderful, his life now revolves around the baby, he does not see, hear, or cares about anything but that little boy,he comes home daily & spends the evening cooing with the baby which is driving me nuts, he does everything else for the baby. I feel like a bad mother for resenting him, we both work full time out of the house--long hours & also owns a real estate business together, I take care of the finnacial & administrative part of the business & he takes care of the day to day issues but even that has been neglected, he does not hear anything I say, all my girlfriends are either single or dating & they all think that I should be happy to have such a devoted husband & father, I feel lonely with noone to talk to, my husband & mother think that I am being selfish, I am just overwhelmed. Sorry for the long post... Any suggestions?

Congratulations!!! I too am a new mom at 40!!!!!! and she was my first, she is 81/2 mos old and i love her so much. I was anxious in the beginning and when we brought her home I thought now what? but I thank God those maternal instincts kicked in. When you see your child you will realize it was all worth it. Those first few weeks there was alot of adjusting with breastfeeding, no sleep, hormonal changes, etc but it will all pass as you see your child grow, being a mom is great, its not easy in the beginning but more and more each day you just become a mom.
God Bless you and your family.

Congratulations and relax. I too went through similar matters. About 2 months before my daughter was born I got married a year earlier than planned. Born 3 days before my birthday I was able to bring her home on my 30th birthday and life has been great since. I was so scared in the begining and not sure I ever wanted children, but I would not give anything that happened in the last year back. I read as much as I could and did not really listen to the horror stories other moms told me. I had nausea most of the pregnancy and couldn't do more than sleep and I am not the type to nap during the day. I barely got things prepared in the nursery. Although I wanted natural birth I did have to have an emergency C section but was comfortable with the idea only thanks to the lamaze class I took at the hospital before delivery. As an independent woman that loved to shop and travel, I do miss it but I take my little girl with me and love to dress her. There have only been a few rough days but after I got the hang of things I learned to relax and enjoy my days with my daughter. I do suggest taking a CPR for infants course and call the doctor whenever you have a question. The rest you play by ear and whether or not you have a supportive half, which I did not because my husband traveled, it will work out for you. Stick to your judgement and put your foot down when you think something or someone is in the way or not giving you want you need. Best wishes.

COngrats on Motherhood! Almost 3 years ago my husband & I became parents for the first time. I was 42 and he was 44. We have a beautiful little girl, who has changed our lives. The change has been wonderful, because we realized that having a child was going to change everything. We use to travel alot, but I barely wanted to go anywhere away from her pediatrician the first year:-) It is scary, but its a good scary. We took classes, read books, and this just touched the surface regarding what was to come. Having a supportive partner who you can talk to and share your concerns is key. It's also good to have a couple of parents in various stages of childrearing who you can ask for advice. Keep what fits, and file the rest away! We learned early on that there was no perfect parenting....it's what works in our family that counts. You are about to be blessed in ways you can only imagine.

Again congradulations on being a new mother I am one too. I now have a 8 month old baby girl who is the joy in my world. I was not scared but let me tell you it the hardest job in the world having a child. I too waited until my thirties to have my baby and believe me it is great! Take advantage of all the help from trusted family and friends extra hands are always needed and time to yourself will be a God sent. I wish you the best and pray that your life is as blessed as mine and you are apart of the best club the Mommy Club so when you get your free margarita coupons and shopping passes let a sista know I am still waiting!Congrats Mom!

Breathe.
Know that in so much as your life has worked out this far and you have been given this wonderful opportunity to mother a child, things will unfurl pretty much like a new bud; beautiful and in its own time. Be esay on yourself and your husband and don't be afraid to ask for, or take help from others. Know that mommys and daddys are people too and that mistakes and misteps are inevitable. And in the end, the most important thing is that you be there -- fully there. So again, breathe.

Hello,
Congratulations on Motherhood! I know that the majority of the postings are giving you positive words, and that's great. But as a "sista", I am going to keep it real with you. I have 2 children ages 10 and 6. And I just want to realistically say, be prepared for hard times to come. Because you are choosing to become a mother at 30, you have experienced a good bit of freedom and time to yourseld. That's over now. And if you are not used to that, it will take some time to get used to. Every decision that you make from this point forward will have to involve your child. So just be prepared for some sacrifices.
Also, I am going to touch on the fact that you are technically having a child out of wedlock. And I was "engaged" when I had my first child, that is the only reason why I am speaking on it. Even though you and your fiance are probably happy and he is very supportive of the whole baby notion, right now, you have to be in the mindset of taking care of you and your child. Because when it is all said and done, he is really just a glorified boyfriend, and if he decides to leave, YOU will be the one stuck with the baby. So make some "just in case" plans now. Like a little nest egg that only you know about and have access to. Also, since you are not married yet, take advantage of benefits that you may receive from one income, like WIC (Women, Infant, Children)and anything else that you may not be eligible for once you tie the knot and there are to incomes.
Please do not take any of this offensively. Part of being a sisterhood is helping one oanother throgh the good times and the bad. And preparing each other for the unexpected.
Stay blessed.
Quiet Storm

Congraulation with your pregnancy and may your birthing process be a blessed as well as the child who is truly a gift. I was 17 yrs old when I had my 1st of 3 children and I can say I was very scared. Make sure you have positive people around you especially during birthing process. Even with my last child at age 34 I was afraid it had been a long while since I was pregnant (the 2nd child I had at 19. Each time is a different experience, oh but well worth the nine months of any and everything that goes on between the two of you. When you have that little person in your arms you just a bowl of ice cream and the babe will melt you down.

Hey Sally,
I am mom to 4 my youngest is 10 months. I also have a 5 year old, a 10 year old and a 12 year old. I understand that nervousness. I foolishly thought that my being an expert mommy would keep the new mommy jitters away it did not.
My advice for you is to watch TLC's "A Baby Story" everyday to prepare you for the birth and since having my son they have a new show about couples taking home baby it should be helpful.
Also, help from Dad is so valuable for you and your little princess. Sleep when the baby sleeps, limit visitors and phone calls and gather up the take out menus or when friends and family offer to help take them up on it by asking them to cook a meal for you and your guy.
And the absolute best thing you can do to prepare for your baby is to start interviewing babysitters now before you need one. Keep your standards super high and make your new childcare person your best kept secret.
Time for yourself is limited by each kid you have. You must make your own self care non-negotiable. It will make for a happier baby and a better relationship with Dad.
Stay prepared and Take care of you.
Joe

I want to let you know that its normal to feel nervous. I was too when I had my first and my 2nd one too. You will be just fine. You will be a great mom. Just love the baby like I know you will. It will come to you as you go on. I just want to tell you that everything will be ok, ok? Talk to you soon. Christie

hi sally, first congratulations on your new soon to be here addition. she will change your life in tremendous ways. it sounds cliche but being a mother will be the toughest job you will ever love and cherish. my daughter is 4 months old now and like you, my fiance and I really wanted to have a baby. i had a pretty difficult pregnany (spent 5 months hospitalized) but trust that every hour i haven't slept or have to cradle my litte girl in my arms and get up for late and early morning feedsing (because you will) it is all worth it. i was 30 when i had my little girl in sept.
it is normal to be anxious and nervous but you have everything in you to provide for your daughter. the first few weeks..even months will be tiring for you but that's normal. no one, no book, no doctor not even your own mother can prepare you for the level of committment it will take to parent. it will take lots of work and you and your fiance must communicate and work together. you must also divide up the responsibilities with feeding, esp. if you don't plan to breastfeed (which i hope you will do)...just my plug for breastfeeding. :)
it will take a lot of work but the rewards completely outweigh the work. my daughter now "talks," coos, smiles, recognizes me and sings and even now when she won't go to sleep or cries all night because she doesn't want to lay down...you can't help but smile when she looks at you.
These infant, baby and toddler years go by so quickly...enjoy it and remain as stress free as possible.
Enjoy it Sally...enjoy it.

Hi Ladies,
I must say that my husband is fabulous. He changes diapers, feeds him, rocks him to sleep, wakes up early with him so I can sleep in, does night feedings. He is the best husband anyone could ever want. Is it possible to get your hunbands to realize that it is their baby too, so they have to help.

I just read your post about your husband's helping (or lack thereof). I was talking to my fiance, who has children from a previous marriage and he and his ex-wife can attest to his lack of assistance from ages 0-2years. I was wondering if this would be hard on me and after reading your post I think it may be. The thing is he's already pre-warned me, so what do you do?? I can't imagine not being able to get through a 5 minute shower in peace. Is this what I have to look forward to? Can any of you other ladies attest to the lack of help from your significant others? I guess if I hear about it a lot now it will better prepare for me to deal with it.

hey christie,
girl forgive me for getting back to you so late. i started to send you an e-mail a few days ago and my comp. shut down on me and i never began to e-mail you again.
thank you for the advice on the water...i actually found some water labeled "infant water" and boiled it and attempted to give some to my little girl...she looked at me like "what is this"? :)
i have another question for you: my daughter will only get a good nights sleep in her car seat...is that safe for her? it's the only way i can get her to sleep but then i wonder about her safety. i did just order a headpiece for her crib which will give her the lift she likes and i'm hoping that will work because the carseat frightens me. pls. give advice.
girl i truly hope things have gotten smoother between you and your husband. i so understand about how insensitive and demanding these men can be but you are doing the right thing by seeking, or having sought, the counsel of your minister. just ask yourself if you believe it's worth saving. you guys have two children now. i trust that you will seek the counsel of the Lord and you will surely be directed to make the decision for your situation.
girl you can e-mail me at my personal account: anicole@gmail.com

The water thing I am not sure how to answer. I never gave Isaac any until he was about 6 or 7 months. I think they pretty much get all they need with formula and/or breastmilk. Take it from me, my son is very healthy and not undernourished or anything like that and he still to this day rarely takes water. I didnt want another baby, because my husband doesnt even help me with the 2 I have and the one I babysit for. He makes me angry. I went to my Pastor the other day and told him we needed help or we were over. He is going to start counseling with us this week. It hurts me that he likes to do the part it takes to make kids but WILL not take any responsibility helping with them. I thought at first it was because he was a new born and he was scared and all that, BUT hello he will be a year old in less than a month and he cries whenever I leave the room or try to hand him to his dad for a few seconds. He doesnt want anything to do with him hardly. It makes me mad, because lately I have been very worn out and others have said something to me about it. I dont want to be away from my kids, but a few hours of reading or shopping or something alone sometimes I would not mind. I cant even take a shower or bath without my husband banging on the door a million times. I cant run to the store for 5 minutes and he will call my cell phone several times. I want to scream at him so bad, but I have tried everything but slapping him around. And well, I am too nice for that. Give me time and I might. I am kidding you know? Well, enough of my rambling for now. Christie

Hey Christine,
Girrrllll, I had to laugh at your e-mail...but what God has for you surely no man can take it away...not even surgery. Whether you are or aren't I feel confident that it will be news that won't shock you. Are you wishing for another baby? Well whatever the outcome I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
As for me I can def. say I've had some days that have completely consumed and overwhelmed me...but I thank God I have people I can talk to you.
I have a question for you: My family, esp. my mother, is in a rage over the idea that pediatricians and the medical community is telling parents that newborns don't need water until 6 months of age because breastmilk and or formula has enough water. I kinda disagreed with that but my mother has been badgering me about getting my daughter water hitting me over the head and so I don't mention anything to my mother about feeding her because the topic will come up. What has worked for you regarding giving your newborn water.

Hey not a problem. Thats what I'm here for. Hey, I found out I may be pregnant AGAIN!!!!!! I had some blood work done last week and it showed that I was pregnant. I am going to go to my Doctor to find out whats going on. I should not be pregnant, because my husband had surgery about 4 months ago. If I am, then whoops!!! That means something did not work. LoL. Anyway, I will let you know when I do find out. I am glad you feel the same way about spoiling. Not too many people do. You can tell by looking at parents with their kids and looking closely at the kids which ones are getting REAL love. And which ones are just getting everything they want. Well, talk to you soon, ok? Christie

Hi Christie,
Thank you for the e-mail. I really appreicate the advice and always felt the same way about spoiling as you...that is giving your child everything they ask for.
I love holding, hugging and kissing my little girl and even though she's a newborn I talk to her all day lettting her know how much mommy, daddy and her family really love her.
I feel that I am taking the right steps toward my daughter and like you I grew up in a home where many times my mother just couldn't give me the extra emotional attention and care I needed and I vowed that if I had children, esp. a daughter, I would be more in tune with her.
I LOVE being a mother. I'm in LOVE with my daughter and I feel really good about these first couple of weeks.
Thank you again for the e-mail.

I dont believe you can spoil a baby. My son is very attached to everyone around him, because everyone shows him love and attention. Now, I wont be like the kind of mom that gives my children everything they want. THAT to me is spoiling. My kids are both very much loved and cared for and they both know it, why? Its because I held them, rocked them, hugged them, kissed them and all that good stuff. They are only little once and the want to know they have people they trust and that love them and that when things in life get rough they need to know who they can turn to for advice, or even a great BIG HUG!!!!!!!!!! So, I say if what you are doing is "spoiling" then keep on "spoiling" her. I have issues today that resulted from my parents lack of affection with me. I dont want my kids to grow up that way. My daughter is 10 and she is one of the most caring kids I have ever seen. I have had many compliments on her manners and care for others. She loves to hug on me and even cuddle. Well, I guess I must have "spoiled" her too much. Oh well. Life goes on. You just tell others to raise their kids however they want and you will raise yours the way you know and feel is right. Noone needs to tell others how to raise their kids. And another thing, who are ANYONE to tell US how to love our kids or how much to love our kids OR how much attention we pay to them. So, girl go on doing what you are doing, because a mother's instinct cant be wrong or we would never have them, right????? So, if what you are doing feels right to you, then forget what others say no matter who they are, ok? Talk to you soon. Christie.
PS I use to lay my kids on my chest too. That makes them feel closer to you in my opinion. The heartbeat is all they heard really for 9 months. I believe it helps them to learn who their mommy is. And it is sooooooo bonding. I hope you dont feel I am out of line in anything I have said, but this is how I feel. Its MY mother's instinct.

Hi Christie,
I hope all is well in Indiana.
Thanks for your e-mail. Motherhood is very new to me but it's been a blessing...I understand that it goes by quickly so I really want to enjoy these moments even though I'm sleep deprived. :)
Let's def. stay in contact. I would love to get advice from you vets on all topics "mommy" for a new born....like can you really "spoil" a baby and if so how can you turn back the hands of time. My little girl is 3 weeks and I've already been accused of spoiling her. She was born 4 weeks early and I was told to let her lay on my chest sometimes so she can continue to hear my heartbeat as she would in utero...she loves that and hates her crib. What am I to do? Did the hospital personnel sabatoge me?!

I posted several times and it seemed noone was interested really in posting back. I am not a "new" mom. My son just turned 11 months today. He too was a blessing and miracle. God touched him during and after my pregnancy. Congrats on your new baby girl. I also have a 10 yr. old. Christie
I am from Indiana.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for responding back. I LOVE being a first time mom although it is a lot of work but I'm ever grateful to have my daughter given the difficult pregnancy.
I actually live in NYC (Manhattan) but myself and husband are looking to move north (Westchester area).
My e-mail is anicole@gmail.com. I would love to receive helpful hints and ideas from you.

Hi Ladies,
I see no one has posted in a while...but I'm a new mom. After 4.5 months of hospital bedrest I just gave birth 3 weeks ago to a baby girl my husband and I named Sydney Rose.
Motherhood is hard but it's such a blessing to look at my baby's face when the doctor's thought very early on I would lose the pregnancy.
So it is tough...when I wanna complain about her round the clock am feedings I am reminded that I prayed to God above to bring her forth and He did.
I live in the NYC area and would love to chat with first time moms and the veterans...I would love to connect with other mommies.

It is really hard being a new mom. Mine is 8 months old and I still have days I feel like life is falling apart. So, hang in there and email me anytime. Talk to you later.

I am a new mom. My little guy is 3 weeks old. I have been feeling all sorts of feelings about motherhood. I often feel as if I am in "mourning", missing the way my life was before. Don't get me wrong I love my baby very much but these feelings of anxiety, frustration and guilt I feel seem to take over. I am so tired and I think my lack of sleep also adds to my feelings of frustration. I would love to be able to chat with someone who has had these similar feelings or who has any advice that they can share.

Hello,
I too know how you guys feel. I'm so tired all the time. Sometimes I fall into a deep sleep or have a hard time waking up fully at night. I'm starting to feel guilty. I just need a rest and I have no idea where I will get it. My dad tries to help and take my son for the day but then I end up doing all the other thing I need to get done like cleaning and laundry. My boyfriend is a good dad but he is still sort of lazy when it comes to giving me a break.
I really want to rent a hotel room for a night and SLEEP!
I'd love to form a support group with you ladies
