Okay so its been a couple of days its just been crazy around here with people getting sick and with christmas and working full time but i want to take a moment to talk about baby formula. Now someone might think im gunna start comparing formula to breastfeeding but just let me say that even though breastfeeding is best some of us are medicaly unable to (myself included) so for those i just want to give you some info on formula. Everyone assumes that when buying formula you have to go out and buy the most expensive stuff cuz its the best right well hatting to burst you bubble thats not exactly true when shopping for formula if you take a momen t and look at the nutritional info between parents choice and enfamil a+ you will be surprised to learn that the walmart brand is actually better for your baby because they dont spend as much on pretty packaging they are able to put more nutritional value into their formula oh and parents choice is actually made by enfamile. enfamil a+ is $50 at the local grocery store but at walmart parents choice is only $26 for the dha with omega 3 and 6 is your mind blown right now well im not done yet lol, did you know that parents choice also has better diapers lol their diapers are ony 19.97 for 140 (size 5's) plus they are multis so it get even cheaper (the boxes are 19.91 but the bags are 2 for 20)and those diapers are made by HUGGGIES nifty eh lol youd be surprised to learn that sometimes the most expensive brands are not always the best one.

Pregnancy

Lets start these posts off to a start by starting at the beginning the biggest thing to happen to a woman Pregnancy `Let me start off by saying that every pregnancy is different just like every woman is diffrent some woman have easy pregnancy's some have super difficult ones. For me it was hell i hated being pregnant i got swollen, i got sick EVERYTHING hurt. but at the same time it was amazing to know that you have a life inside of you and when it comes to the day for your little baby to make its way into the world you will be amazed at what your body can do, it doesnt matter what way your child comes into the world (c-Section, vaginal) all that matters in my eyes is that that child is healthy. I hear all the time how young mothers are told they failed thier baby by having a c-section well all i have to say to that is what crap, just becuase you had a c-section doesnt mean that you failed it just means you had to go a different route. Lets get back to pregnancy, when i talk to my firends and ask them how thier pregnancies went they all give me diffrent stories, some though the first trimester draggged on some thought it was the second trimester that was longest, some had easy pregnancys, some had difficult ones, some didnt even know they were having a baby until they were 5 months, some took prenatals, some didnt, some still smoked, some quit for their babies health. each pregnacy is different and means something different to each person. This is a time in our lives were we feel so many emotions mixed up together i honestly dont think there is any other time were you can feel any more emotions then when your pregnant i mean we`re cranky, we`re tired, we feel so uncomfortble in our own bodies what with the strech marks, the bloating, the leaking boobs, oh and lets not forget the gas i mean even the classiest lady will let a couple rip in public if shes pregnant because to hold it in causes our stomach and back pain to increase by a million so if there are any guys reading this remember we may be larger now and we may only be able to waddle but if you piss us off we will find you so please for the sakes of your own lives be nice lol

So i want to talk about Significant others, with me im not married, im not engaged but i have been with my boyfirend for two years and i love him but some days it feels like im raising dayna on my own, i get no help at all his philosophy is i work and bring home money so therefore i dont need to spend anytime with her and i dont need to talk to her most days it feels like were burdens. I look at all these couples who may not be married but the boyfriend plays with the child, acts like he loves the child, i just wish my boyfriend would act like that with our little angel.

Looking at the upside of this though is that i can parent her the way that i see fit, if i want to let her cry it out i can, if i dont want her going away for sleepovers out of town i can say so and until i see more actual parenting then as far as im concerned there is no say on his part. Another thing is if things go south with me and him then i know that as a single mom i can be okay i know that i will have the ability to take care of my daughter and of me.
