Hey everyone were back! I haven't been on here in a while but now i am and can you believe how big he's gotten. He's three years old now and is growing up really well i love him to death.
When i first found out i was pregnant at the tender age of 21 i wasn't the most happiest person, all these things were going through my head and i got really emotional like i'm getting now. My boyfriend at the time Cameron's dad assured me it would be ok. We decided to keep him that night. People say being pregnant is suppose to be this joyous and beautiful thing well i'm here to tell you it's not like that at all. During those few months i cried a lot, my skin deepened in color, i was 200 pounds, and on top of that i was extremely stressed. I was dehydrated which is not good ladies and towards the end of it all i was running back and fourth to the ER at that point i just wanted to get him out of me.
I had a C-section which was not the best experience for me, i did not react to it well at all so they put me to sleep. A few hours later i woke up in really bad pain. I was so uncomfortable that i tried to move in another position but couldn't because of the pain i was feeling. Another few hours went by and i finally got to see my baby boy............................this is how i reacted i don't know if it was because of the drugs but i just stared. I couldn't believe i had a baby at all. They took him away i guess i had to much drugs in my system still and i didn't see him until that night. They are a blessing don't get me wrong but they can also be a pain especially when they get older.
I love my son to death and would do everything i can for him. I'm not in the best possible position in my life at this moment but seeing his face every morning tells me that everything i do is not in vein.
I will be the first person to admit that with my first born i can't not deal with tantrums. I know being a first time mommy everyone assumed i would give my son anything he wants but i knew that's how i did not want to raise him. I'll admit that a few times I've given him something just to make him stop crying...i wouldn't recommend that to anyone especially a new mommy. What i notice about all children not just mine is that if you continue this habit they will be trained to think that if they continue to cry, throw things, or hit you they can get it.
My son didn't get into that habit until a few months ago. He throw's things at me hits me, smacked me, and would just run around the room like a crazy person until he hurts his self or gets a headache. MOMMY TO THE RESCUE! Here are some tips that i think can help a new mother or any mother that needs help with your son or daughter.
Tips:
Try so calm your child down
Give him a snack to get his or her mind off of why they were mad in the first place
Rock them to relax him or her while there sitting in your lap, this trick does work wonders. Try to hold your child in a way you use to when they were a baby, rub there back or tummy.
Put there favorite children's TV show on. Some parent don't let there child get any TV time but if you do try this step.
Give them something warm to drink or there favorite beverage, this will relax them or might even put them to sleep.

Hey, so here are a few of my mommy favorites this month that I've been using on my son that i really like.
The powder & wipes are target brand
The Johnson & Johnson lotion & shampoo FYI: My boyfriend bought the wrong shampoo and conditioner, the green bottle is for thin straight hair. He was suppose to get the Blue bottle which is for thick & curly hair.
The Detangler spray is target brand as well
Pampers brand pull-ups
If you want a review on any of these products please feel free to e-mail me.
Influenster Contacted me about an up coming VoxBox. A week later i got a notice that i qualified for the box and it would be coming to my house. I was really excited about it because I've used there products for years and so has my family. I used it the same night i got it and was really impressed. It helped cleared up his congestion a little and made him fall asleep faster. This one is made for a small room but you don't have to worry about that because this little thing worked in my room which is really big. ( He sleeps with me a lot) I'm not sure how much it retails for but i know that Walgreen's has the older version for about $40-45.
Here are a few pictures:

After his doctors appointment to make up for him getting his shot (He was really upset with me) i took him to the park from the pictures you can tell he really loved it. FYI: His dad in the background
