How we celebrated fathers day

June 29, 2009 · Filed under Parenting · Tagged , , ,

Fathers day

This post will be devoted to my husband who is able to take care about his son with so much love that he is one of the father to be celebrated.

I was thinking what to write about and how to make recognition for my husband who is able to take care about our son with same love as me as mother I am able to give him and he has to work in the same time and do another 100 things to satisfy my needs and help with education.

DSCN2222When we decided to celebrate at least a little the International Fathers Day I was not sure how it should look like and than during the day when I saw my husband playing with our son I understood what this day is about. This day is not about artificial gifts wrapped in the boxes or any other junkie stuff given to them with words “thank you dad”, this day is exactly about dads holding their kids and playing with them. Because as I supposed our kids make us good or bad. They are the best mark of our never ending effort, care and love. And since the dad is the main supporter in our family he does not have enough time to spend with his son as he desires. So this day was exactly tailored for my guys to spend as much time together as possible.

And as my husband has great motto in his email saying that: Live your life in a way that your kids will be once able to tell great stories about you; So as I see mom’s and father’s role is to deliver as many experiences as possible together with full pack of love.

And the picture of celebrated Fathers can look differently in different age of the kids and as I saw my husband I had to share with you his current look…………..I had to laugh so much when I saw him dealing with all the stuff and still smiling.

Great dad!

Era of trolley is over………carrier rock the world :)

June 28, 2009 · Filed under Kids accessories · Tagged , , ,

Juchuuuuuu :)

carrierFour month of Edie’s life passed and time for carrier came to present. Finally I do not have to push the trolley and be caring the baby. My son was curious baby since he was born but as his vision was improving he did not want to stay in the trolley anymore and by loud cry he was saying me …………….”please take me out moooooom”. So I understood quite clearly that the time of trolley is over and I do have to buy carrier which will enable him to see what is happening around him. He just wants to see the world. Nothing bad about that. It is just a bit more demanding for us as parents to keep carrying him.

But definitely since we started to carry him in the carrier he became the most happiest DSCN2218baby in the world. He is not crying anymore and he is just observing and absorbing by all his senses the stimulus of nature and close surroundings. And our hand became free and we can walk hand in hand with my husband after long time.

I can strongly recomend to you this carriers if your baby does not like to be in deep trolley or be carried in the wrap (special scarfs). Edie hated that but now is happy.

Carriers rock the world and safe the parents hands :)

3rd month of infants life

June 19, 2009 · Filed under Baby development, Parenting · Tagged , , , , ,

3rd month…………The Month of changes :)

It is unbelievable how is baby changing every day. As I am observing my son everyday being with him 24/7 it is great to see his improvements. Those little things which tells you how much he is changing. That one week old practise does not work any more. I and my husband have to be really innovative. Our darling became unbelievably curious. If he could be able he would stay awake whole day to keep watching around and catching every new stimulus, but still all the new things are from time to time making him tired and yeah he still sleeps few hours (count 3-4 times 30 min during the day). I have learned how to cook by left hand even I am right handed. My angel keep watching under over my shoulder and sometimes I have feeling that he will put his face even straightly into the pot to see what I am cooking :)

DSCN2122Another thing is that he started to be really loud. It is not just this calm baby, which keeps watching around and the loudest sound is only his cry. Luckily not any more like that.  He is laughing loudly, he is screaming and making sounds like cat or owl and hundreds other animals and little spirits :) It is so big fun to observe him and keep listening. He also try to crawl already and he made turn in his cradle. It takes so much afford from him to improve but he is big fighter and he is trying hard. I really like that. My friend was laughing that he is as ambitious as his mom is……..hmmm I don’t know but he should have some genes from me, or I hope so.

DSCN2090He also started to hear more and being scared. During the weekend we have been on shooting with my father (he is game keeper). And I was worried that he will get scared by shoots. But not really. He actually got scared by dog barking…..surprise for us. On the other hand since I kept him telling what is going to happened he got used to every new thing and his learning became faster.

So his 3rd month is nearly over. Next week he will celebrate 4th month and I am excited what is going to happened.

Mom’s bag…..funkie, junkie story of the life

June 15, 2009 · Filed under Parenting · Tagged , , ,

How young girl became mom :)

bagMy bag will be never that perfect but it does not matter……..I love my messy bag :)

I Became mom easily. Maybe more easily than I could have ever thought. Once I woke up and instead of flat belly I had big balloon with swimming baby. Instead of my flatter sporty chest boobies like real women. And far more later instead of hand bag full of make up and perfumes and other important “Ladies stuff” I am constantly pulling out peed diapers, wet wipes not for cleaning my hands but for cleaning my son’s lovely bottom and I am not sweating like hell this is just my son’s saliva over production which makes mark wherever he kiss my body.

I really love that. Yes seriously I love that. This is big miracle for me. Something such as changing diapers and wiping the babies bottoms was not really the most desired think I wanted to do, but something really changed. Everytime I see my son and his pixie face when feeding him or just playing with hime I used to forget anything for what I could have blame him :)

Many times kids also bring you lot of fun into your life. Like for example now. I just heard that my husband is laughing and screaming at once. Because our son “scored” as we used to say. When they were playing together he managed to drill  over his face :) . And again we could see his pixie face and shining eyes.

And even I have many diapers in my bag instead of last model of lipstick and eyelash it always reminds me that I have great son waiting for me at home and great husband worth to love and hug.

I would have never changed the content of my mom’s bag

How to protect fathers……….our hiden angels

June 15, 2009 · Filed under Parenting · Tagged , , ,

This post will be for all great fathers who takes care about their families, wife’s and kids.

DSCN1842And why to write about them. I think that most of the time we are talking only about hard time of mothers. That they have to take care about their kids all the time, restlessly with full love. But nobody spoke about dads. Those great persons which stand side by side with moms. Who cares about their families and try to help as much as possible by asking many times per day whether we Moms do not need something or what they can do for us. I got a question from my grandfather who was concern whether my husband is sleeping enough and whether he has still enough energy for us to take care. And we said yes he does. But then I started to think more about this question. Because there were cases where the fathers lacking the proper resting over night and helping mothers over day just got exhausted and knocked down. In this case we should think that they are not that well protected by nature as moms are. They were not gifted by the bunch of hormones like moms which drives us over the never-ending baby care. Bug how our angels “dads” should persist.
There is simple answer we have to take care about them too. And from time to time even they want to stay with us all the time and help us we have to send them for a cup of beer or just free walk on their own or with friends or let him sleep a bit longer at weekend morning. The best is to kiss his front head and say ………….”enjoy my love your time and do not worry, we will manage to be on our own for a while”.
I do not know, maybe there are not so many great husbands and fathers like I have. But I would love to say thanks to all of them who are like that and believe me, that even your wifes have got sleepy face and look that they would stay in the bed for ages just to keep resting and we sometimes forget to say thank you loudly for your help we have it in our hearts and minds and we really appreciate your job.

THANK YOU MY DAD :)

Hormones run the moms live – restless days and awaken nights :)

June 9, 2009 · Filed under Parenting · Tagged , , ,

NATURE IS MIRACLE…………..LETTER TO MOTHER NATURE

How the hormones keep moms alife and protect us against collapse?

kvetinkaI just had a nice chat with my female friends who is pregnant and she has thousand of questions  related to the giving births and infant care just after and how the things go. I think that most of the parents which expect their first babies know this feeling. It is great time on one  hand but also with the tinge of uncertainty and expectation on the other hand. You know that something big should come, the biggest change of your life. But how it will feel and how it will be? You have no idea what is coming and I think that is actually much better. Because the nature knows how to prepare mom to cope with many new things. Everybody can share personal experience but this is nothing compare to your own.

My friend main fear was that she is going to sleep only few hours per day, that she is used to sleep between 8-10 hours normally and this period might end. I don’t want to scare  you or anything but probably there is smaller amount of babies which really sleep about 16-20 hours per day and whole nights since they are born. Most of them is awake every 2-3 hours asking for food, care or just change. But Do not worry at all, nature is miraculous. It gave us hormones which make us stronger than bulls and more efficient than the perpetum-mobile :) The fact is that even sleeping 3 hours per day sometimes more sometimes less I do not feel tired, I even do not look tired………..amazing. And I am performing every daily activity as I was used to. So do not worry about your energy and that you will feel tired. You will actually learn to rest with your baby.

As I said nature knew how to design moms to cope with anything. Just follow your feelings and if you need to rest ask your closest once to take care about your angel for a while.

Big thanks to MOTHER NATURE :)

Nursing fathers………..scandal or practical approach?

June 7, 2009 · Filed under breastfeeding · Tagged , , , ,

My dear frineds,

I just made my hands free for some time to be able to share with you interesting and bit controversial article with life approach I have read few days ago. NURSING FATHERS this term is used in several articles related to the fathers early involvement in the child care while mom is nursing. But this in not the case I want to write about now.
Nobody mentioned also fact that there are some fathers who enjoyed “being nursed”. Yes there are fathers at least in my home country which actually enjoys more to drink mothers milk rather than cow or goat milk.
In the beginning when I was interested in breastfeeding topics I have read many articles, how to nurse my baby properly, how often, how whole process actually works, how to boost my milk production etc. But once I found this interesting information. Do not think that I am breastfeeding my husband, this is far from reality but at least we have openly discussed the benefits which might nursing of fathers bring.
Actually what most of the moms described was as follows:

  • when their breast was full of milk and their nipples were already hurting from milk pumps and constant baby drinking the fathers served as great milk pumps because they were softer than any other machine :)
  • It was easy to explain to dad how fast is milk created in the breast and he could help to drink milk especially at night even without waking up the mum and he helped her with milk overproduction
  • there were cases where the mum did not have enough milk so the father helped her to sustain the milk production because he tried to drink always after his baby finished and he softly stimulated the production system
  • fathers lost their jealousy feelings towards their infants which were closer to mum all the time because of nursing and in some cases it created closer intimite moment for the couple.
  • the immunity of whole family improved because of drinking mothers milk rich for antibodies.

So I am not pushing any parents for this practice but I found it interesting to share. So moms feels open to the idea if your husband come and asks whether he can drink a bit of this ambrosial drink :) because as you can see it has its advantages. But rather keep this in your homes not every public could understand this…..ups :)
