Making time for yourself

Making time for yourself after having a child is very important. Even just being able to take a bath by yourself can make you feel alot better and refreshed to be able to take care of your baby better. You need to feel good to better take care of the baby. Just being able to go out and get a pedicure or manicure just make sure you go by yourself and relax. Have your parents or significant other watch the baby someone that your are comfortable with and wont worry about. Make time to rest when the baby does so you get some sleep. If your house isn't that clean don't worry you will eventually get it done don't over exhurt yourself.

When do you start feeding a baby food

For every baby it is different do it when you are comfortable with it. For my first child i feed him cereal at 2 months then at three months he ate mashed potatoes and soft food. Like I said do it when your comfortable. Most doctors say six months. When my son was two months old he wasn't getting enough from the bottle and he would wake up all through the night for the bottle so feeding him made it easier for him and for me. Although your baby might not be like that but mine was.

What you need for a baby when they come home

Well with my first son i thought that i needed everything for a baby i bought him everything the baby bed, bedding, bassinet, changing table etc... After I had him he either slept in the bed with me or the playpen so he had all this stuff he never needed. When you have a baby think practical what do you really need dont buy everything cause that is waht you are supposed to have. Think of the space in your house and where he will sleep and where your going to put the new babies stuff.

Having Children 9 and a half months apart

I am 20 years old and have two adorable sons. My oldest was born June 11, 2008. I then got preg%nant August 18th so I was due to have my second son May 5, 2009. I ended up having him March 26th so that put my sons at 9 and a half months apart. I had him at 34 weeks when Landon was born they took him away right away. I got to see him once that day and they had a hood over him for him to breath the next day the transfered him to another hospital. Thankfully my dad lives near by to take care of my oldest son Caden. When he first got there they had informed us that he had a whole in his lung and had to put a tube in his chest right away. So they did that and had him on the ventillators since he was requiring 40% oxygen. He was kept sedated for 5 days of his life and they slowly started weining him off the ventilator after he was off then they put him on a cpap they next day since he started requiring more oxygen put by the day after he didnt need that anymore. He stayed in the NICU for 18 days which was hard on us because we had another child at home we had to take care of. Finally when we got to bring him home he was on a strict schedule so my oldest son ended up at his Grandpas for awhile. They got to spend there first easter and first mothers day together and they are going to be the same age for part of the year. My oldest son doesnt understand that his brother is not a toy. I think that is the biggest disadvantage of having to children close together. The other disadvantages are that my oldest son doesnt understand anything yet so i cant explain anything to him and i dont know how to tell him no. They both wake p in the middle of the night so if you like your sleep dont have kids close together cause they will wake each other up. Both my boys sleep in the room with us because they still wake up and it is easier for me to be there to get them. The best advantage of having them so close in age is that they will grow up together hopefully to be the best of buds. I love my boys so much and the lack of sleep and the long days they will make up for it when they grow up of course there will be a lot of fighting but they are kids and thats what they do. I dont think kit matters how far apart your kids are or how close they are all kids fight at one point or another. So if you want to have kids close together i say go for it.

Zelda Windwaker for the Gamecube

This game isn't like the rest of the Zelda games. It takes place many years later after Link has already defeated Gannon. Gannon escapes from his prison so there for you have to defeated him. It starts out that you are a local island boy and it is your birthday so your grandmother dresses you in green that all the boys wear when they become the same age as the hero in legend. Then you go and see your sister and she gives you her telescope. With the telescope you get to see a giant bird take a girl and drops her in the forest. So than you go and get the sword and rescue her after rescuing her your sister ends up getting kidnapped. So than you join up with the pirates to get her back. You enter Gannon's hide out and see your sister but the bird that had stole your sister earlier comes and gets you and takes you to Gannon. So then you get to see that Gannon has really returned so then you get to start your quest. At first your quest is about finding your sister and then it becomes about defeating Gannon. You have to get three orbs and they are for the tower of gods. After you defeat the tower of gods you get to go and see the old hyrule castle so that you can get the master sword. You see that everything is frozen in time down there. So then you have to make a triforce in the middle of the floor to open the secret door. After you do all that and get the master sword. You then find out that you need to get the guardians. On your way to get them you do eventually rescue your sister and meet up with the pirates again. So overall this is a good game you still have to get 8 triforce shards to get the triforce of courage and defeat all of the bosses a second time. So there is still a lot to do, The main difference about this game from the other Zelda games is that this one takes place mainly on water and you dont have epona the horse. My brother has played all the zelda games this one isnt his favorite but he still likes it all the same. Although i am partial to this game because it is really easy to figure out and if your not that good at video games like me this one didn't make me frustrated at it for the most part.
