First Feeding


Most people find breast feeding disgusting and I certainly understand a guy not understanding. I was raised to think this is perfectly normal and in fact you are supposed to enjoy it. Again I don't expect people to understand, and I'm never one to tell someone they should or should not do something. I have found that this is the healthiest, cheapest, and honestly the most enjoyable method for my family and I. But school has taken a tole and suddenly I've found little time to continue doing this. This is obviously a consequence of taking 19 credit hours, taking care of another child, my husband, and our homes. Tristan has begun eating cereal and sweet potatoes (all naturally organic foods that I make him in our kitchen, so they are truly "fresh"). I still nurse when I can because it's calming for me to slow down and relax but it is also comforting and a great bonding experience for baby and I after being away so long all day. I have chosen Enfamil Premium a new formula, for any new mom interested. It's awesome, he completely adapted and unbelievably he has had no problems with his stomach! But I can't wait to introduce new foods, it's great to watch how he reacts to all the new tastes!

How to make baby food

i LOVE the Navy!

Let me pick a bone with the United States Navy. Apparently they can take money from your paycheck without telling you and we're not talking pennies. While in Iraq Jason EARNED a special pay. When he transfered to a new command they said that pay came out of the wrong "account" but he was still due the money but the damage had been done. How do you just take thousands of dollars out of someone's paycheck without warning them. Never mind he's not a single guy living in the barracks and eating at a mess hall. He has a family, not to mention a brand new baby!! Thank you again Uncle Sam for adding to my stress. Take away from the people that defend our nation, that's not just a cliche he is actually on the ground arresting terrorists! maybe it's time to send a note to the CNO. Welcome to life as a navy wife Emily!
