I loved it and he especially liked being snuggled up to my chest. The one problem we encountered is that extensive wearing of the Snugli led to mastitis for me. If, God willing, we have another child, I'm all for the Maya-style Sling! Thanks for the great info - I knew nothing about these other options! The Marriage Revolution - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 09:11 PM Sometimes keeping it together isn't easy but it is extremely rewarding when you can get through the tough times and make it to even better times. My husband and I will celebrate our 7th anniversary tomorrow. I can honestly say that the highs get higher and the lows get lower - but the highs come a lot more often than the lows! Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk? - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 09:06 PM Great points! One thing I didn't realize when I had my son (my first baby) was that there is nothing wrong with offering the child a breast every hour or two to stimulate milk production. By the time my son cried to be fed, he was too hungry and frustrated and I was too engorged to make nursing easy. Ahh, the things we learn with the first child... Making Checkers - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 08:52 PM Cool ideas, Sherry! I'm having visions of a checkerboard sleeping bag and a zip up pillowcase that holds all the mini-pillow checkers! This checkerboard stuff really provides some cool jumping off points for fun projects! Exercising Pain Away - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 08:49 PM This is so true! I had a terrible backache yesterday and managed to "walk it off" on my treadmill in just 30 minutes. I can't call it an aerobic workout, but it sure did stop the back pain! Two Southern Fried Side Dishes - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 08:44 PM I was just reading in Muscle & Fitness that Green Tomato Extract is the new magic potion for building muscle and burning fat. The batter and deep frying may not help much though. But hey, who can say no to fried green tomatoes?! Sometimes, You Just Have To Laugh About It... - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 08:42 PM Rice is definitely the best medicine. There have been many nights when I awakened to the "gurgle-gurgle" of my dog's tummy. The first thing I do when I hear that sound is fire up the rice cooker and throw in some white rice, beef bouillon and garlic powder. Dogs don't generally eat when they've got upset tummies, but the beef bouillon and garlic powder are practically guaranteed to get them to eat the rice. Bathtub Medicine - Blog Entry21 Feb 2006 01:28 PM Great article! I've done the same with my own son. We dealt with colic by giving him a bath about 5 minutes before Colic Kickoff (as we liked to call it). His nights of crying were replaced by giggles in the bath tub! Until he could sit in the tub on his own, we would bathe together. (He hated those tub seats and always preferred to "float" on my legs.) For want of essential oils during fevers, I'll steep a couple Peppermint Tea bags in the tub before filling it for him. This gives nearly instant relief. Imitating Designer Spaces - Blog Entry18 Feb 2006 06:35 PM Great tips! I've always loved the look of tapestries but could never really justify the expense of even buying a knockoff. One day, as I was walking through a fabric store, I realized that a few stitches and a remnant yard of tapestry style fabric could do just as much for a room. Add a thrift store frame for a couple bucks and you've got a great piece of art! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 |
