Pregnancy withdraw

We all have gone through withdraws in our life, by choice or by force. Drugs, alcohols, coffee, smoking, you name it, we have heard is not fun. Well, mine is not as common per se. I am suffering of pregnancy addiction. Hi, my name is Afrodita and I'm addicted to pregnancy - at least my first one.

I don't know what it was but me being pregnant with baby M was the best time of my life as an adult. Aside from the nausea and the excessive amount of tiredness in the first few weeks,…

Why Not Me?

I’ve created a new page at Margs for Mommy titled, “On a Serious Note.” However, I have yet to post one blog to the page since I put it there. So today I put the humor aside briefly and share a serious side. It doesn’t pop up often, but when it does I hope others will find it beneficial.

A year ago today I was five months pregnant with Trey, our second son, and scared to death. I had found out earlier that summer that Trey had a very rare condition called gastroschisis. The…

I'm Sorry, Who Said That?

When I went to see my doctor for my annual exam last week I found myself asking a question that I never expected to come out of my mouth, “so if we decide to have another baby everything looks good, right?” As I heard this question asked my mind was screaming, “exactly who is this crack head that has taken over and how do we get rid of her?”

If you had asked me during the first year of my oldest son’s life whether we planned to give him a baby brother or sister the answer…

My Recent Wardrobe Malfunctions

According to researchers, there is no such thing as "pregnancy brain." I beg to differ. In the past 3 days I had the misfortune of having not one, but two, major wardrobe malfunctions.

Lets recap!

Thursday morning I woke up and I knew exactly what I was going to wear! The week prior I had purchased this really cute black maternity top and this was the day I was going to rock it! I had my midwife appt/mommy group in the afternoon and wanted to show off just…

Married Fat

As seen on my blog: www.thegreatletdown.com

you become comfortable in a relationship that you will gain weight. Well when my husband and I started dating I actually did, but not because I was comfortable but because the way to my heart is food and he knew that.

Here is where I am struggling now. When I was younger, because I couldn't do anything or go anywhere I eat my emotions (still do) so I sat and stuffed myself till I…

Gender Tests

I'm over on Wordpress! Check me out and leave some love!

http://intothedigitalnegative.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/gender-tests/

So I’ve been doing some research on gender tests to predict the gender of a baby. I’m not talking about the old wives tales either. I found this test called Inteligender. It apparently tests the pH in a pregnant…

reflections of a mother

Today deserves a post.

Today is the day where you will be congratulated for being a mum.

Today is the day where your children will make pretty cards and will bring you breakfast to bed.

Today is the day where you will be reminded that you deserve better, that you work too hard, that you give too many concessions, that you should quit your job of head house master and start delegating responsibilities.

Today is the day where you wish you could… Continue

Frozen Breast Milk to the Rescue

Two months ago I was sick with the flu including a high fever for several days. Although weak and not eating very much, I was still able to breastfeed my five month old twice a day and then I supplemented the rest of her feedings with milk I had stored in the freezer.

Bed Rest - Really Necessary?

Rebel Crunch Mama: Bed Rest - Really Necessary?

“Bed Rest”. I think that these are two of the most feared words of all pregnant women. Many of us joke about how nice it would be to be sentenced to bed 24 hours a day/7 days per week; one long, uninterrupted nap sounds great doesn’t it? But the fact of the matter is that bed rest is not only boring as all heck, it…

The day I found out I was pregnant

The day I found out I was pregnant I was 22 years old and just a newlywed. I met my husband when I was 16 years old and we dated all through High School so I guess you can say we were High School Sweet Hearts. So when that day came to take the pregnancy test I was excited and scared all at the same time.

It's funny because I had no clue until someone at work said they thought my boobs were bigger. I thought what a strange thing to say. Then I was feeling ill and someone at work…

That time I forgot I had a baby

Towards the end of my second pregnancy, I began searching for a cute diaper bag, preferably one which cost less than my car payment and would dress-up my maternity-jeans and stained tee-shirt postpartum uniform. Also, if I could find a bag with wide enough straps to cover-up one of my leaking breasts, well then, all the better!

“What...you’ve never seen a nursing woman leak through her shirt? Stop your… Continue
