Two weeks ago, a blessed Russian lady in Moscow gave birth to a 17 pound baby girl. That’s more than twice the “average” weight of newborns. She delivered the baby girl by cesarean section in a maternity clinic. The mother and child were both in good condition at the time. But now, the baby girl is in the special care of the local health department. Hopefully she pulls through.
You thought your baby’s crying is loud? Check out these professional baby criers.
Maybe I’m bias, but I would say the 80’s cartoon kick today’s cartoon’s ass. There was definitely more violence in those cartoons. But it was in good fun. Here’s a list of them off my head:
Why can’t we just be like chickens and lay eggs? Just lay it somewhere and keep it warm. Then 1 month later a baby hatches from the egg.
Babies 2 years old and younger fly for free on most airlines if they stay in the parent’s lap. It’s a big money saver for the parents. I think it’s great for the shorter flights, but not so great on longer flights.
In a earlier post I wrote about Belly Talk, which involves a person talking to the unborn child in the belly. Yesterday, while looking for more items for our baby registry I saw a gift set from BebeSounds called Deluxe Prenatal Gift Set. In the gift set, there are devices that can help you hear the baby, talk to the baby, record the baby’s sounds, and play music for the unborn baby.
It’s pretty common for first time moms to suffer from postpartum depression after giving birth. But it’s not limited to moms, dads can also develop depression during this period. Certain types of men have a greater chance of developing depression.
Last night my wife woke up in the middle of the night with leg cramps. Both her calves were hurting. Being a great husband, I got up right away and started to rub her legs. Then she got excited and started rubbing my legs.
I was watching VH1’s Hulk Hogan’s show last night. In this episode, he was trying to teach his son about using condoms and so on. He wanted his son, Nick, to practice safe sex. In order to get into Nick’s head, he ordered a robotic baby.
We went to both Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby for our baby registry. The stores are very similar. They’re both stuffed with loads of baby stuff. Almost anything you need for babies are stocked, like “Butt Paste”.
I am pro breastfeeding in public places. When a baby needs the mother’s milk, the baby must have it. It’s a natural thing. We shouldn’t be offended by a woman feeding her young. If you have a problem with it, you can choose to look away.
My co-worker ask me how it feels to know that I’ll be father soon. I never actually gave it much thought. After being a son for 29 years, now it’s my turn to be a father. I will be guiding my son’s early years. Teaching him life lessons that I acquired. Hopefully I can help him avoid some pitfalls that I fell in. But then again, life is about ups and downs. We learn from our mistakes. Sometime you just have let them learn on their own.
It’s not easy finding a name for your baby. The name will follow them for a lifetime. We started our search by just calling out random names.
These Kidsongs DVDs will keep your kids absolute attention for about 30 minutes. They’re a great for children’s aged 1 to 4. It’s basically a collection of music videos for kids. The songs are surprisingly catchy even for adults. I was singing along with a few of the songs.
In the early 1900’s to 1970’s, the husbands waited in the waiting room while the wives gave birth in the delivery room. Sounds like a good deal. Something happened in the 80’s that changed all that.
While laying in bed last night, I decided to play Plain White T’s album Every Second Counts on our Ipod Home Dock thing. My wife said the baby was dancing inside her belly. We going to assume that’s a positive review. Usually we play Mozart or Beethoven at night when we go to sleep. A little variety shoudn’t hurt.
Growing up in New York City, I seen many things. One of the things that still annoy the crap out of me is when I see parents jaywalking with their children.
Starting around the early 20 something week of pregnancy, my wife started talking to her belly out loud. She wasn’t going nuts, but who knows for sure. She was speaking to our baby. She claims the baby can hear spoken language at that development stage. Read the rest of this entry »
Thinking of a name for your child? Please think twice before giving them a weird name. Parents think that by giving their child a unique name they will turn them into a unique or special individual. In reality they will become targets of ridicule in school. Here are some real examples:
