My water got broken after 6 hours of labour because Jonas was too early and no ready. No fun at all!<br />But seeing this little wonder makes it all worth it - just not at that very moment. And after an episiotimy - both kids with me :( it's no fun either.<br />BUT: she's so cute!

Try during summer time when it's warm and let him run around with no dipers outsde. It'll come. Emma was three and a little when she was diper free during the day and 3 1/2 at nighttime. Boys are said to take longer. Jonas will start in summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522383988162530562.post-83559115408166346842014-03-04T08:00:49.076-08:002014-03-04T08:00:49.076-08:00That is so great.

So, you're doing great! ;) So jealous., really.<br />It is so hard especially once you have two kids close in age. Sometimes I catch myself thinking: What have I got myself into? But the next moment I watch them play together and my heart melts. I think every mom has days like these and no mom is perfect. It's hard to try doing it all right. I had some very bad weeks and yesterday Emma came crawling into our bed for a cuddle and said: "Mami, you're the best in the world. I love you!" And it made me feel all better on one of my worst days. I really enjoyed your post and I think all other moms felt the same way. And: our living room sometimes looks like an After - Storm - Disaster for days. But, that's the way with a family sometimes...

As long as they are doing fine I'm fine. And you should be, too. Mine always get their extra butter but they run around all the time. So how should they gain much? It's a very good thing when they run around a lot - they feel fine. Take it easy.

I always said ...This is very real for so many moms. I always said that babies should come with an instruction manual, moms need at least 3 or maybe 4 arms, the patience thing is in short supply some days, and the housework never gets done, the Tupperware drawer will always be a mess, and please Lord, can I get 8 hours of sleep? I'd settle for 6 hours.<br />Hang in there. Those perfect "Get everything done, and the house looks perfect, and my clothes look just right, and my child never misbehaves" moms, do not exist in the real world.<br />Do the best you can, love your child, love your husband, pick your battles, and the small stuff is "oh well, I don't have time to deal with it. So what if it doesn't get done". Developing an awareness of what your limits are and having a happy family, and a whole you is paramount. However you manage to achieve that.<br />You are loved the way you are. You are a wonderful mother, an amazing person just the way you are. You are the perfect you.<br />Hugs and love all the way from San Diego.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277602580710684878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522383988162530562.post-28043044254929742702014-02-13T23:37:39.610-08:002014-02-13T23:37:39.610-08:00Luckily I had your mom and dad around for support ...Luckily I had your mom and dad around for support when I was a mom your age!

I've had mastitis 7 times in 10 months 3 put me on week long IV antibiotics so I was scared to wean off as well. I now pump 4x a day 10,4,10,4 and its working well. I get enough milk in a day to keep up with my son who is 10 months and eating solids as well.

They are ok when pregnant. It's so exiciting - and annoying to wait for the baby to arrive when it's getting closer to due date. Emma was just one day late. Hope Wallaby will not make you wait too long over his due date.<br />Love from Bremen!

Luckily, they've been getting better lately.<br />I'll try propping my feet up more, but it's too late for my rings, which are getting sized up now lol.Thinking about you too and can't wait to see pictures of your little guy when he gets here!

For the leg cramps, try eating a banana a day. The potassium helps them from happening and they hurt less when they do happen. Propping up your feet for a half hour for every 4 hours that you were sitting or standing helps with the swelling (although, only to a certain extent!) Good luck lady.
