Domain Name Stolen

I have been through the worse experience ever.  Someone purchased my domain name right from under me.  I am still dealing with the situation but for now my new address is http://www.independentmami.net/

To my readers~I am so sorry for the confusion everyone.  I am currently working as fast as I can to finish my prior commitments, posts, and giveaways.

Has this happened to you?  I purchased my name a year ago and clicked the auto-renew button.  They did not renew and did not give me any notice of the expiration of my domain. 

Independentmami is BACK!!!

Am I Killing My Baby?

From the Milwaukee Department of Public Health

So I had alot of time on my hands, the 2 days I was sitting at the doctor's office getting allergy tested.  And I think I read every magazine out in their lobby.  One of the magazines, don't ask me which one, had a story about co-sleeping that caught my attention.  I know this may be old news to some of you but I did not have a baby before this so new news to me.  Milwaukee ran an ad that if your babies co-sleep with their parents, you are putting your baby in danger every night, every time.  They ran this provocative ad of a baby sleeping with a knife.  Now I understand the dangers of baby sleeping with their parents but is this really necessary?

My 13 year old slept with me.  He hated his crib.  I even crawled in there with him every night but nothing seemed to work.  Eventually I got tired, side note I was only 21, and gave up.  He slept with me and that was the end of it.

Now Lil Bit is a different story.  I am older, I say a little bit wiser.  I read and read before I had her.  I took all the advise nurses, parents, doctors, etc.. gave me.  I was not able to have a nursery with my son but with Lil Bit we do.  She has her own room with a beautiful crib.  When we came home from the hospital, we started the process of having her sleep in her own space.  Because I did not want my baby to die from me suffocation her, or her falling off the bed, etc...  She slept on her own for 6 weeks until my husband went back to work.  At 6 weeks, it was easier for me to keep her in bed with me.  I didn't have to get up to feed her since she was right next to me, that is one of the priviledges of breastfeeding, and my husband works nights.  So it is just me and Lil Bit. 

But back to main idea~am I sleeping with a knife in my bed?

She just turned 6 months and I as the good mother I think I am, am trying to teach her to sleep in her crib again.  It is a long process but I did this, so I must undo the damage.  It has been hard, some nights I just give up trying and take her to bed with me.  My child is very attached to me, and wakes up every 3 hours.  Yes, I know, that is crazy.  She should be sleeping more and I am working on that.  I hardly get enough sleep but I am up for the challenge.

Did your babies co-sleep with you?  Do you think this ad is too provocative?  It got me thinking, but I had already started trying to get my baby out of my bed.  Do you think this ad will catch others' attention?  Am I that bad of a mother for having my baby sleeping in bed with me?  What did you do or are doing? 

I Swear I Am Not Contagious

Have you ever been allergy tested?  Do you suffer from allergies? 

I have asthma, and the regular allergies.  Itchy nose and throat, watery eyes, etc...   But before I was pregnant I have several allergic reactions and my body was covered in rashes.  It itched and I scratched, so much I made myself bleed.  The rashes get really bad.  And I have to swear to people I am not dying, not contagious, and that I'm ok.  Just recently I almost had another outbreak, so it got me thinking.  What is causing this? 

After 2 days of testing, I know now what has been causing me to have allergic reactions.  Sitting with the doctor reviewing the results was not like I thought it would have been.  I was ready for her to tell me I was allergic to pollen, mole, etc...but rather she tells me I am allergic to my most favorite thing ever, LEMON/LIME.  What?  I even had a tear come out.  I am the Lemon Pepper Queen, the Limeade drinker, Lemon sprinkle on everything type of person, and now I am forbidden.  She told me about other things that I am allergic to,
-green beans (who is allergic to green beans)
-olives (really?)
-lamb (this is one, im good, who eats lamb?)(there are others that are more common like dairy, nuts, and shrimp)
but nothing hit me worse then LEMON/LIME.  I never in a million years thought that could be what was causing my allergic reactions at all.  I love it.  How am I going to live without it?  Well I know I do not like having allergic reactions, so I guess just by saying NO.  33 years into my life am I am just figuring this out.  I don't need an epi pen and won't die from my reactions but staying away from these foods will save me from really bad reactions.

Are you allergic to any foods?  Would you know if you were allergic to something?  Do you know people who are allergic to food?  Have you ever heard of anyone being allergic to LEMON? LIME?
