After trying unsuccessfully with multiple skin care products to soothe my baby's eczema I decided to formulate my own. I have been so happy with the results that I am now sharing them with other mama's. I use organic olive, pumpkin seed and sunflower seed oil for their high content of omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. My oil is infused with Calendula and Chamomile Flowers for their healing herbal benefits and when mixed with Lavender essential oil it takes on a heavenly scent. Massage daily onto your babies skin and add to their bathwater for best results. Great for children and mamas too! Oil comes in 8oz and 4oz bottles and retails for 21.50 (8oz) and 16.50 (4oz). My baby oil is packaged in round amber glass bottles to avoid chemicals from plastic and to keep them preserved longer. You can find them by going to the boutique <a href="http://www.nourishbabyboutique.com/item_65/Nourish-Baby-Organics-8oz-Baby-Oil.htm">here</a>. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-71101604511335352562009-08-28T09:47:00.000-07:002009-08-28T13:17:50.699-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBErznAq77fBCorOfDeGQqmGEvltZ9rAqSh8k3JzdBJq9FXsCcbeInQUMmFugnCr2OmpYUZcni6bq1WGi3ITi9AhEdYpgen4jTsSEqvU3z62BbKd7OIb3jKNuZopOjGt8uI8m74hQ6ms/s1600-h/IMG_1297.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375073285753976498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBErznAq77fBCorOfDeGQqmGEvltZ9rAqSh8k3JzdBJq9FXsCcbeInQUMmFugnCr2OmpYUZcni6bq1WGi3ITi9AhEdYpgen4jTsSEqvU3z62BbKd7OIb3jKNuZopOjGt8uI8m74hQ6ms/s400/IMG_1297.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Bv_TNBRL2uwp8-PPoBVQdImP2eyYeMuPf_LcW2An9CiXUbfM8jWflheaNIlrHNN22P0O4qN5_TvOWVYpiLYDJUHh3x8Hf95PQX3xADQi99r250mfk0KSFqG2M5SWs0Do8rrdlBoXXsY/s1600-h/IMG_1294.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375073278160621986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Bv_TNBRL2uwp8-PPoBVQdImP2eyYeMuPf_LcW2An9CiXUbfM8jWflheaNIlrHNN22P0O4qN5_TvOWVYpiLYDJUHh3x8Hf95PQX3xADQi99r250mfk0KSFqG2M5SWs0Do8rrdlBoXXsY/s400/IMG_1294.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Last month we went to the Sounds game for my dad's 64th birthday! He was so funny singing "When I'm 64" by The Beatles all day. This was Bishop's first time at the ball field or ball park...not quite sure what you call it I'm obviously not a sports fan. Bishop apparently isn't either atleast not yet. He starts getting sleepy as early as 5 some days so it was really pushing his bed time to get there at 7. We didn't stay for the whole game which was fine with me. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">We had another first that night...nursing while driving down the interstate, don't worry I wasn't driving. Bishop was so mad on the way home the only thing I knew to do to calm him down was to nurse him so I climbed into the backseat and positioned myself over his carseat and nursed my sweet baby. He was asleep within a minute! Thankfully Jeremy's windows are tinted. :)</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></span></a></div></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-47129256993038552912009-08-17T15:43:00.000-07:002009-08-17T15:46:13.750-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEILfZOFghxVa_Wl0epww_k4AB7nw47_-1bLoIEq7sVv-Gaol7Ek8wbnDVm0wx51HeOJ2CQNkhSjYHlRrhoYyCXA_Hky3BzmBUlcvJ10IsWTj27bbVNohplIgyMVt0zRkpLd0pk_U8PM/s1600-h/colander.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371067579333664018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEILfZOFghxVa_Wl0epww_k4AB7nw47_-1bLoIEq7sVv-Gaol7Ek8wbnDVm0wx51HeOJ2CQNkhSjYHlRrhoYyCXA_Hky3BzmBUlcvJ10IsWTj27bbVNohplIgyMVt0zRkpLd0pk_U8PM/s400/colander.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">I no longer shop for toys in the toy department...Bishop <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">prefers</span> the kitchen department by far.</span></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-71543599796516038372009-08-09T07:03:00.000-07:002009-08-09T08:58:03.332-07:00daydreaming....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinTXI48A2Vs3ZA0C6Y0y5nHSike2tfzpRMKU6FIUg7iifPlHJzk5vu1c87RgO8K1kYfBDUFvqKAg_ZuUB7WD7DELsJ5xDrbYZtXLUq9XZRSV-IBrt6Q8MelCav1Kk-WjBnULWbqcJ16O0/s1600-h/dreamhouse.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367990314174844898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 278px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinTXI48A2Vs3ZA0C6Y0y5nHSike2tfzpRMKU6FIUg7iifPlHJzk5vu1c87RgO8K1kYfBDUFvqKAg_ZuUB7WD7DELsJ5xDrbYZtXLUq9XZRSV-IBrt6Q8MelCav1Kk-WjBnULWbqcJ16O0/s400/dreamhouse.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">I'm so blessed and thankful for all that I have but I still can't help but to daydream a little bit.

I know some of you think that is crazy or that I am lying but it's true. It was the single most amazing experience of my life. It was fun and challenging! Kind of like how some people get a high off of running a marathon or climbing a mountain. Giving birth gave me that kind of high. You hear all the horror stories from moms who were in labor for 3 days or had to have an emergency cesarean and for some reason when you are pregnant they feel the need to share their stories with you. I don't know how many times I was asked "You're getting an epidural right?!?!" Even if I wasn't going to get one I don't think I would have told them just so I wouldn't have to listen to what a mistake it would be for me not to. I did get an epidural and I think that the scariest part of my delivery was anticipating them injecting me with it. In hindsight I wish I hadn't and I wish that I hadn't been induced but thankfully I was able to still have a beautiful delivery. I decided to get induced because my doctor encouraged me to and I really trusted his opinion. Bishop was a week late and we all thought that I was going to give birth to a baby sumo wrestler because I was so big ...I mean BIG. I was retaining water like the Hoover Dam! One day when I went in to see my sweet OB for a checkup at about 7 months he jumped back startled and said "You blew up like a balloon!" I only continued to get bigger. Even towards the end when most people stop gaining I was still packing on 3 pounds a week! By the time Bishop came I was over 200 pounds! My maternity clothes didn't even fit and all the extra weight had put so much strain on all my joints. In the mornings my fingers would be locked in a curl position. I had to physically straighten each one out with the other hand. I was dangerously close to getting preclampsia from the high blood pressure and weight gain and after my due date came and went we all agreed that I should be induced. So on the morning of October 30th we went to Baptist Hospital for my induction. My water was broke at around 9 and I started to receive my pitocine. At about noon I caved and asked for the epidural. I wanted to stick it out but the pitocine can make you have some mean contractions and I didn't want to miss my window of opportunity. After about a half hour I was completely numb from the waist down which is a very strange and annoying feeling. Then it was just time to wait. Thankfully my mom, sister, Jeremy and Lori a.k.a. Moppa were there to keep me company and the time flew by. After several hours I started feeling the contractions again so the nurse checked me and said that I was at 8 cm dilated and it was about time for me to start pushing! At 4:45 I started pushing with my sister holding one leg, Jeremy the other and my mom at the end of me with a very uncomfortable worried look on her face. I was in no pain only frustrated because I was so thirsty. Jeremy was so great by putting wet wash cloths on my head, getting me my chapstick and not annoying me. I told him before we got there that I didn't want him to look below my waist but once the nurse said that Bishop's head was visible I didn't want him to miss a thing. After what seemed like no time at all Bishop entered this world at 5:32 p.m. He made quite an entrance too with all his high pitched screaming! They immediately plopped him up on my chest and for a couple seconds I wasn't able to see him. I had been pushing so hard that my contacts were lost somewhere in my eyes. Finally when I regained my vision I looked down at the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. There are no words to describe the overwhelming feeling of love, happiness and just pure awe. I knew that from that moment on my life would never be the same. It was like now that your here how did I ever live without you?!</div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-59165749920040943562009-08-01T11:52:00.002-07:002009-08-02T09:09:38.314-07:00He's a rollercoaster of emotions...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizqvT7kHtpjvrfJiIOgB9VGfKBEkg9fv8JY2w0cD1scAFDm5z2C0WqBXh45A9igE0vc9HVaAan2-m3qgH-Xht1EUV_rHmgj2aHlQyUHuiBZPvojZJHRdP_fzzsyvz1LlDIb2-kgp8TL84/s1600-h/IMG_1131.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365071741985827282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizqvT7kHtpjvrfJiIOgB9VGfKBEkg9fv8JY2w0cD1scAFDm5z2C0WqBXh45A9igE0vc9HVaAan2-m3qgH-Xht1EUV_rHmgj2aHlQyUHuiBZPvojZJHRdP_fzzsyvz1LlDIb2-kgp8TL84/s400/IMG_1131.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj211B-xSFETHIMZYwDpG5Bhjv-mdsGzZWAaIQfG3SYCeqQMqD3dZ1YkPMNIJsdiWNcTvne2CucqW5OuT7A376Fh5LoavP2NgN85J4iM5bO8hDCgf0h9KvIVjYDUyn2wuYZtSnhLou4lu0/s1600-h/IMG_1147.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365071732523919618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj211B-xSFETHIMZYwDpG5Bhjv-mdsGzZWAaIQfG3SYCeqQMqD3dZ1YkPMNIJsdiWNcTvne2CucqW5OuT7A376Fh5LoavP2NgN85J4iM5bO8hDCgf0h9KvIVjYDUyn2wuYZtSnhLou4lu0/s400/IMG_1147.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-8zOfjJEhBXc5DpJhSDsl8LoVjQZyQlzFChG_dJYXZRk7pIyR9AAjZw6udt3Qb4Hl7Myl_bqkmbcHn9gB7XdbfQ8b0ve365ro7-HJZ6QaPPtK6CH1dCejik4AXgBpm921moUcAWAwRo/s1600-h/IMG_1150.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365071725283664274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-8zOfjJEhBXc5DpJhSDsl8LoVjQZyQlzFChG_dJYXZRk7pIyR9AAjZw6udt3Qb4Hl7Myl_bqkmbcHn9gB7XdbfQ8b0ve365ro7-HJZ6QaPPtK6CH1dCejik4AXgBpm921moUcAWAwRo/s400/IMG_1150.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifMSPJWW-vZjXGLY_9EyF1h4RlejKe2okQo7p_0eUE4fR7UX8M2r9_jFBscclCNnBp2FngIwwf3nFwZrf-uSY2MwRd1TKqWzFaKp-UTdNIlgbFKutwzW9lcw0ek2UcJzDjH4gU1r6Te7w/s1600-h/IMG_1160.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365071723488348018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifMSPJWW-vZjXGLY_9EyF1h4RlejKe2okQo7p_0eUE4fR7UX8M2r9_jFBscclCNnBp2FngIwwf3nFwZrf-uSY2MwRd1TKqWzFaKp-UTdNIlgbFKutwzW9lcw0ek2UcJzDjH4gU1r6Te7w/s400/IMG_1160.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiphkcuXBtQAOnEW5oUirco3aCpdnlOeQAU5d7NLSYkGLg9__KW5dYBwQAVw-QimKhh7ugO5IE_aLIkXiRfdNr2Ojl4pEeTRC1jaJcZ-O6d1YHUzkR9MXYNGESrUWzciGQ8dkSTqUCnPgI/s1600-h/IMG_1163.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365071719074201378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiphkcuXBtQAOnEW5oUirco3aCpdnlOeQAU5d7NLSYkGLg9__KW5dYBwQAVw-QimKhh7ugO5IE_aLIkXiRfdNr2Ojl4pEeTRC1jaJcZ-O6d1YHUzkR9MXYNGESrUWzciGQ8dkSTqUCnPgI/s400/IMG_1163.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-78815164026161662202009-08-01T10:01:00.000-07:002009-08-01T11:35:06.696-07:009 monthsBishop had his 9 month check up yesterday and he weighed 19.7 lbs (36.4%tile) and measured 30.5" (97.24%tile)!

He is a natural born boater or boatsman...whatever you would call them. For father's day we went out on Moppa and Poppa's boat. He loved feeling the breeze through his hair. The only thing that he did not like was his life jacket. I can't blame him that thing was huge! I know that it had to be uncomfortable. Overall we had a great time and it was nice to be out on the water. I even took part in some water activities. I think I screamed the entire time. It was so much fun! I don't think that the float was used to someone my size though. It didn't float right after I had my turn on it.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-902225323361181462009-06-30T20:42:00.000-07:002009-06-30T20:59:32.787-07:00Father's Day/Jeremy's B Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRQ4d2CUk1aAn25Ty9Ea0dibtPkBlGnSTiZJ0YDxc37jsur0WBp-8XyGBN1n5Dy6Bvx5ZW5RZfblYmgDxLO7M9azVWdoDIKQZ6tjYipuZMVmfFt8f7_dCjMXqRd2EjryEogN08mXjm0o/s1600-h/IMG_1037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353336050807597234" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRQ4d2CUk1aAn25Ty9Ea0dibtPkBlGnSTiZJ0YDxc37jsur0WBp-8XyGBN1n5Dy6Bvx5ZW5RZfblYmgDxLO7M9azVWdoDIKQZ6tjYipuZMVmfFt8f7_dCjMXqRd2EjryEogN08mXjm0o/s320/IMG_1037.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6uEp_o4O0h7ADZiZRr4IHjapEd6g3Grea3nEI2s-XwDNQ4k-mS1-6AQFdQzH2QXfQy1np9jYrZFBJnI98sZdFOU6VfJvwCltT14dYFw0Wlm36j-9l0YTxmXy4UTAb1oiEy_H4VbCVKo/s1600-h/IMG_1033.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353336042706801746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6uEp_o4O0h7ADZiZRr4IHjapEd6g3Grea3nEI2s-XwDNQ4k-mS1-6AQFdQzH2QXfQy1np9jYrZFBJnI98sZdFOU6VfJvwCltT14dYFw0Wlm36j-9l0YTxmXy4UTAb1oiEy_H4VbCVKo/s320/IMG_1033.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7lGOLssAlexEzPwyu8n33Fsch6GHDsUvYNC0VQne91jzq1iCm_oV_1_qias45y9yVSSwKxzd-NiYjQYRMXwN2Z_RhIYgtacIHvRsxTJnd7J-ceNH57lVcvYCR5qKEnfIUnKAz7WTG94/s1600-h/IMG_0911.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353336037187082370" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7lGOLssAlexEzPwyu8n33Fsch6GHDsUvYNC0VQne91jzq1iCm_oV_1_qias45y9yVSSwKxzd-NiYjQYRMXwN2Z_RhIYgtacIHvRsxTJnd7J-ceNH57lVcvYCR5qKEnfIUnKAz7WTG94/s320/IMG_0911.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC0hwzkWtiJjmeIvbQZJLvxjy2pKI5p1bcYYD5SyIXESShIjYHo8o1RydAQL4goutwfq2gosxW03O1vcQoVKGl1-y5BHVvkzYMVhVgzXLNf0O8K3N3LPaFgVEzuaUDdI3AEiT7w6Lcy2M/s1600-h/IMG_1013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353336034257542434" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC0hwzkWtiJjmeIvbQZJLvxjy2pKI5p1bcYYD5SyIXESShIjYHo8o1RydAQL4goutwfq2gosxW03O1vcQoVKGl1-y5BHVvkzYMVhVgzXLNf0O8K3N3LPaFgVEzuaUDdI3AEiT7w6Lcy2M/s320/IMG_1013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Father's Day was really special for Jeremy because it was his first and also because it was his birthday.

He seems so old to me now because he is eating solids, babbling away and crawling all over the place! I'll set him down in his room to play and before I know it he is right behind me. He still wants his mama or should I say muma with him all the time and honestly the feeling is mutual I never get tired of being with him either. We spend our days reading books, singing songs, playing in the water and napping. Being a muma is so rewarding. He is still a great napper with one in the morning and another in the afternoon. His sleep schedule has changed a bit and I'm still trying to adjust to it. He gets sleepy as early as 5 or 5:30 and is definitely ready to go to bed at 6:30. He then wakes up when the sun comes up to say Da Da for a little bit then back to bed until about 7 then it's time to start the day...ready or not. That should explain the bags under my eyes for the past month. I'm going to have to train myself to become a morning person.<br /></div><div>This month we have been on quite a journey trying to resolve his eczema, food allergies and GI issues. We found a great natural health doctor who has given us some great advice and recommendations. Her thinking behind all of his issues is that he has a toxic overload in his system and his liver is not working fast enough to release them, which explains the edema in his feet and legs. A major way that toxins are excreted are through bowel movements which he has not been having frequently. When your body is undergoing this kind of stress it can appear on your skin like his eczema has. Dr. Reed said that his eczema is actually a good thing because it is telling us that there are things going on inside that we need to resolve. I would much rather have this signal now then have it develop any farther and cause him to get any diseases. I'm sure your wondering how can a healthy baby that has only been breastfed and never even given vaccines have a toxin overload. He probably got exposed to the toxins while in utero since his issues started when he was a day old. There have been tests done on umbilical cords and placentas exposing over 200 toxins many which are highly carcinogenic! Dr. Reed reminded me that there is no way to completely avoid toxins after I mentioned my desire to move us out to the country and basically live like the Amish. I could be living in my little house in the middle of no where Bishop and I both we're our sars maks then have a farmer next door to me spray his crops with arsenic (they actually do that?!) and have it get into our soil that we grow our food in and then ingest it. You could really drive yourself crazy if you think about it too much. </div></div><div></div><div>Dr. Reed also gave us the go ahead on solids recommending avocado and egg yolk to help his skin. He loved them both. He has been wanting food for a couple months now so he was very excited to finally get some. He likes to take control of the spoon and feed himself too. <div><br /></div><div>We also started going to a great Chiropractor, <a href="http://www.bewellspringhill.com/">Dr. Farris</a>, who has helped to realign his hips and spine which were very rotated possibly from the delivery. He loves hanging upside down, maybe it reminds him of when he was in the womb kicking my ribs constantly! Jeremy was not excited about the idea of it so I had to reassure him that the pressure she applies is very light. It's more like a massage. She actually assists with deliveries to help reduce injury for the mama and baby. Since we've been going to her his bowel movements are much more regular and his skin has shown a lot improvement. I was convinced to go after reading about a study that was done on 316 babies who all suffered from colic and after only 3 adjustments 94% showed significant improvement. I wish that we had done this a long time ago.<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div></div></div></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-60692632670292891702009-06-01T20:53:00.001-07:002009-06-01T21:35:33.176-07:00Fun in the Sun!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XgGpybWiv7V41Ir5b2zXzPXYp16_8rGaXX2k0htyhbg8mRykyYFLhO2UntQZbDt3_eUkRTdOXtEWceYAxsUebq2Mt2z2aPEGRMGbDr9cRiR0OLT7i5RIg6cdoT4x2Q881_Y1H_t9w-Q/s1600-h/IMG_0774_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342581854701873186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XgGpybWiv7V41Ir5b2zXzPXYp16_8rGaXX2k0htyhbg8mRykyYFLhO2UntQZbDt3_eUkRTdOXtEWceYAxsUebq2Mt2z2aPEGRMGbDr9cRiR0OLT7i5RIg6cdoT4x2Q881_Y1H_t9w-Q/s400/IMG_0774_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjA-Gybgpr4fXeRMfUfLCndcHxnyZBskQ5gDCBYDiCIZPVY7j8K6Jhoa6v_i276Iba5rN06F7GWQPC3bl_0yG96r-kjXJAUJSxffT-Bm0SpIPSr3-vMnh4QPABW0eddb7kgnd95ioKm_g/s1600-h/IMG_0802_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342581854548976898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjA-Gybgpr4fXeRMfUfLCndcHxnyZBskQ5gDCBYDiCIZPVY7j8K6Jhoa6v_i276Iba5rN06F7GWQPC3bl_0yG96r-kjXJAUJSxffT-Bm0SpIPSr3-vMnh4QPABW0eddb7kgnd95ioKm_g/s400/IMG_0802_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOgMsFa0hGVOTJl6y-366uD_K1vp0iP40bW0vttPyplzhR-jVzadiEa9IhYAcbRbpsPXUuBgxm7Sbu2BfpMU4UdWajrUh4GPrK9j4SXLVQC6zw2Ts7x_tWEN_RaJvXGckEA8AoGIvJrQ/s1600-h/IMG_0807.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342581847989444178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOgMsFa0hGVOTJl6y-366uD_K1vp0iP40bW0vttPyplzhR-jVzadiEa9IhYAcbRbpsPXUuBgxm7Sbu2BfpMU4UdWajrUh4GPrK9j4SXLVQC6zw2Ts7x_tWEN_RaJvXGckEA8AoGIvJrQ/s400/IMG_0807.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrTz0jAQMIWgmBAXiQNH_DdhWFhWwgjQxRtV59szMEAB3CwoYeFZ_BfnUpx-Q_s7gevkvyAjnd0E0IaUz8x25RKL6QIZdCqVwxh5dtCt9XYBqbQnuXEMe0gKdRLFNcrLVyDmFm1hscoDo/s1600-h/IMG_0748.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342581842144451778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrTz0jAQMIWgmBAXiQNH_DdhWFhWwgjQxRtV59szMEAB3CwoYeFZ_BfnUpx-Q_s7gevkvyAjnd0E0IaUz8x25RKL6QIZdCqVwxh5dtCt9XYBqbQnuXEMe0gKdRLFNcrLVyDmFm1hscoDo/s400/IMG_0748.JPG" border="0" /></a> This summer is going to be so much fun with this cute little surfer dude!

There is still a line of baby wraps that I need to put on the website but the majority of products are on there. I'm so excited about it because I feel l like I've selected some great affordable products to sell. Everything on there I really believe in and stand behind and I love the charity that I have partnered with. A portion of all sales are going to <a href="http://www.projectpeanutbutter.org/">Project Peanut Butter </a>which feeds malnourished children in Malawi and Sierra Leone. </div><br /><div>I have placed this store in God's hands and I pray that He is honored through it. Everything I have I give to God. I've never done that before. I would never take time to pray about things to make sure that I was following His will. I think that is the reason I have gone down so many wrong paths. I truly feel like now I am on the right path and that is a great feeling. :)</div><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-51073298369511555502009-05-13T10:29:00.000-07:002009-05-13T10:36:17.678-07:00Beautiful Song...Beautiful Message<div align="center">Only Grace” by Matthew West</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">There is no guilt here</div><div align="center">There is no shame</div><div align="center">No pointing fingers</div><div align="center">There is no blame</div><div align="center">What happened yesterday…has disappeared</div><div align="center">The dirt has washed away</div><div align="center">And now it's clear</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">There's only grace</div><div align="center">There's only love</div><div align="center">There's only mercy and believe me it's enough</div><div align="center">Your sins are gone</div><div align="center">Without a trace</div><div align="center">And there's nothing left now</div><div align="center">There's only grace</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">You're starting over now</div><div align="center">Under the sun</div><div align="center">You're stepping forward now</div><div align="center">A new life has begun</div><div align="center">Your new life has begun</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">An’ there's only grace</div><div align="center">There's only love</div><div align="center">There's only mercy and believe me…it's enough</div><div align="center">Your sins are gone</div><div align="center">Without a trace</div><div align="center">And there's nothing left now</div><div align="center">There's only grace…</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">And if you should fall again</div><div align="center">Get back up, get back up</div><div align="center">Reach out and take my hand</div><div align="center">Get back up, get back up</div><div align="center">Get back up again</div><div align="center">Ohh…get…back…up…again…</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">There's only grace…</div><div align="center">There's only love…</div><div align="center">There's only mercy and believe me it's enough…it’s enough</div><div align="center">Your sins are gone</div><div align="center">Without a trace</div><div align="center">And there's nothing left now</div><div align="center">There's only…there’s only…grace….</div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-37979095829686507722009-05-12T19:29:00.000-07:002009-05-12T20:14:00.718-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtth9oO1uch9MY0LyZqxnEC70VgOvOwp5G2EzI6iQrlZWyRaCajyuCxf7bSdHZUV6RKWshSfAPFeANd2aiQ249EEkoEgltVcUuLGW-k4I4Nu64bV9bM-LzcCy2G7furjZte34BEjqBQ8A/s1600-h/IMG_0566.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335135845512264674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtth9oO1uch9MY0LyZqxnEC70VgOvOwp5G2EzI6iQrlZWyRaCajyuCxf7bSdHZUV6RKWshSfAPFeANd2aiQ249EEkoEgltVcUuLGW-k4I4Nu64bV9bM-LzcCy2G7furjZte34BEjqBQ8A/s400/IMG_0566.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I had a wonderful 1st mother's day. It's a nice feeling to be involved in the celebration of that day now. It will be fun when Bishop understands it too. I'm sure he will have fun making cards for me and giving me flowers. There is nothing better then motherhood! </div><div>Today Bishop had his 6 month check up. He's actually about 6 1/2 months now. He is in the 60<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">percentile</span> for height and weight. He weighs 18 1/2 lbs and is 27 inches long. Everything looked great except for his eczema. We are still having a hard time figuring out what the cause of it is and we have tried dozens of creams. I stopped dairy and soy and it still isn't better so now I am stopping wheat, corn, peanuts, eggs and fish. Hopefully this will work! </div><div>I have some exciting news...I am in the process of opening an online baby boutique called Nourish! I plan to carry cloth diapers, baby carriers, skin care and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">alot</span> of other great natural baby products. I'm really excited about it and I hope that it will be a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">successful</span> venture that will allow me to stay at home with Bishop as much as possible. I just hope that I'm not getting in over my head. I have never opened a business before and am completely new to all of this but I'm very driven. I have always wanted to own a business. I can't wait to see it up and running! Bishop will be my model for the website...of course. This one of him is going on the site! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-76669464326163525152009-05-01T17:53:00.000-07:002009-05-01T19:18:11.174-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzLBKupaOeqsulYsMN1Wm8E2IM8hi7irki-yKO07bhAEiElBN0DvH0YY2mRCZfzpZ4L1XyIQ_zmCXQfOwS83_TH0ewheK0oiVc9mvSK4lywDVSaeMohVcIWHSlzJthOGquRgBIqlxPfY/s1600-h/IMG_0403_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331042534153579650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzLBKupaOeqsulYsMN1Wm8E2IM8hi7irki-yKO07bhAEiElBN0DvH0YY2mRCZfzpZ4L1XyIQ_zmCXQfOwS83_TH0ewheK0oiVc9mvSK4lywDVSaeMohVcIWHSlzJthOGquRgBIqlxPfY/s400/IMG_0403_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQpyqvo9lGhNl_P4KYug97FfrJ35Zv645VySWiRSjlw1IPblYtcu6I_Edu5tQreEQfBQJx-z-8qKAPdA2c_bBdB8ANah2cId1LF0Humaj9jhdrCwYvNcAivQUoZJIXnYYroKx6R5vo6E/s1600-h/IMG_0398_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331042530323602866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQpyqvo9lGhNl_P4KYug97FfrJ35Zv645VySWiRSjlw1IPblYtcu6I_Edu5tQreEQfBQJx-z-8qKAPdA2c_bBdB8ANah2cId1LF0Humaj9jhdrCwYvNcAivQUoZJIXnYYroKx6R5vo6E/s400/IMG_0398_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPi_bo5d1UoXLorGMnzdvT_PkNX2xMON01jgp6kQ51PyxVDmQGKdg9Mc6a4yqsNVClj87ANH9ZYe0r9zFxR-ULQ7pm0hP1GKscVoSlL5mRjX_FgxGgnsyZk72xNVBsdCqV5QuNWsA_zA/s1600-h/IMG_0415_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331042527014548578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPi_bo5d1UoXLorGMnzdvT_PkNX2xMON01jgp6kQ51PyxVDmQGKdg9Mc6a4yqsNVClj87ANH9ZYe0r9zFxR-ULQ7pm0hP1GKscVoSlL5mRjX_FgxGgnsyZk72xNVBsdCqV5QuNWsA_zA/s400/IMG_0415_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5-kq559ILodaHMCrwu4wSHDYCoeMYm8ePiGGrqpWR91Q30AVAyRB6ixWIYp2KCRm-gCnpYUIetLdMxm80C7MIGH-tLWoUJHzhYpFQZI9Nau9hmczM5e3yYoUUUUBq_rV6PumS_8ygVI/s1600-h/IMG_0410_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331042522994977586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf5-kq559ILodaHMCrwu4wSHDYCoeMYm8ePiGGrqpWR91Q30AVAyRB6ixWIYp2KCRm-gCnpYUIetLdMxm80C7MIGH-tLWoUJHzhYpFQZI9Nau9hmczM5e3yYoUUUUBq_rV6PumS_8ygVI/s400/IMG_0410_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>So we didn't have any takers in the free dog giveaway (shocking I know!) so it looks like he'll be hanging around a little longer.

Time is flying by and each stage that he enters into is more and more fun for me. He has had a busy month and has alot of new milestones to share about. He is rolling over, around and everywhere and I swear that he is trying to crawl. He can scoot himself around on his belly and is trying to push off with his strong little legs. He is sitting up by himself which is funny to see because he looks so much older when he does that. The milestone that got to me most was him cutting his first tooth. Something about feeling that little tooth in his mouth made me so emotional.</div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a></div></div></div></div>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589595694728615456.post-27452663041124209542009-04-24T07:20:00.000-07:002009-04-24T07:41:38.832-07:00Before April comes to an end I wanted to mention that it is Autism Awareness month and also Cesaeran Awareness along with Earth Day this month. It's a busy month! Sadly I was unable to join my fellow tree huggers at Centennial Park for a celebration because I was working but I try to make everyday earth day by recycling, using cloth diapers, energy efficient bulbs, buying locally when I can and bathing every other day to limit water use. Okay so I'm not doing that just to limit water use but mainly because Bishop won't always allow me to have time to shower. When you get a chance take some time to educate yourself on <a href="http://www.autism.com/">Autism</a> which is a rapidly growing epidemic and watch <a href="http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/">The Business of Being Born </a>to see why so many women are getting c-sections now. Don't watch it a week before you go in labor like I did. It made me even more nervous about my decision to get induced. Had the doctor not thought that I was carrying a ten pound baby and had I not been a week late I would have let him come naturally which I wish I had. My delivery was a wonderful experience thankfully but knowing what I know now the next one might just be born at home in my bathtub!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/132/8247DF1CDB3225A2E91BB65BD04F0C52.png" /></a>Bishop's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07448327542518038889noreply@blogger.com0
