My son is now six months old! He got his first tooth yesterday and another tooth is coming in. He is getting so big and tall, I can't even believe it! My son also said his first word the other day. It was "dada" of course. Now, I tell him to say, "Mama" and all he says is "Dada". One of these days, he will say my name. Anyway, he laughs at ( Read more... )

Currently I have cramps really bad! I haven't had cramps in over nine months and I almost forgot what they felt like until today... I started smoking again, which I shouldn't have. My son is the cutest little guy in the whole world. He loves to be held by me all of the time and sleeps with his hand on my shoulder. I love him so much and don't know ( Read more... )

For the past couple of days, I have been annoyed and anxious! I wake up every two hours to feed my son, and I can't seem to go back to sleep. I worry about him all of the time and constantly apologize to him whenever he starts to cry. I think it's because I try to be the perfect mother to him and don't ever want him to cry. Also, I have been ( Read more... )
