C-Section. my opinion.

Emergencies happen.

When you are a mom of a NICU baby you more than likely had a C-section.  It usually comes with the territory.  I posted on my Facebook page after Lil'C was born about how I don't get how anyone would choose to go through that.  The pain, the pills, the separation from your child, etc.   I wanted to have a standard un-medicated delivery.. which is about as far as possible from what I got.   The life of my son was worth it.   I still don't understand why anyone would choose major abdominal surgery instead of a natural process. 
One "friend's" response was "To save your Vah-Jay Jay!"    I didn't respond to her.. the only thought running through my head was... "really???  Your hubby is failing at his job then... " but I of  course did not tell her that.

Guest Post #3 at Rediscovering Domesticity!

Last week Rediscovering Domesticity ran the second of three guest blogs about "Breastfeeding in the NICU" Rediscovering Domesticity is a blog I have been following for awhile now.
 The first one "Breastfeeding in the NICU: an obtainable goal" is our breastfeeding success story. The second one "Breastfeeding in the NICU: Things that help" is about some helpful NICU advice.

Doggy Mom, no more...

Azul at 6 weeks old

Our little family of 4 went down to 3 last night.
Big C, my brother and a family friend decided to practice at our home-made shooting range last night, in the dark.
The dogs were playing around the range and the guys tried to keep them under control.  They even tied up one of them who loves to chase bullets, fireworks and sparks, but Azul was so well trained... and his collar was missing.  They tried to keep him sitting next to them but apparently he walked around the back and worked his way down range of the shooting range without them realizing it.

Pin-stripe Jumper Tutorial!

I made a little pin-stripe jumper for Lil'C to wear for Easter.  The coolest thing about it?  It's reversible :D

To get the pattern for this jumper check out last week's post :D
