I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma July 2019. After only being married for 3 weeks. I was told right after my diagnosis that I should harvest my eggs because the likely hood I would be able to get pregnant was slim to none. The harvesting would take 6 weeks but they said I had about 2 weeks to live since my liver was shutting down. I went through 8 rounds of chemo, a stem cell transplant and being told in January this year that I was in menopause at the age of 29. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant. I believe all babies are miracles but we are literally having a miracle baby. ♥️ and I’ve been watching your channel through all my treatments and through your pregnancy and longed to be pregnant like you were. Now here I am! And plus I work with special needs children and absolutely love my job! And LOVE seeing Ella grow and progress to the beautiful young lady she is! ♥️

Something that made me feel good this week was when my 14-year-old son told me that he had lost 2 pounds. The reason it made me feel so good was because he was so happy about it. He has gained weight since last year and is trying now to lose some, we have joined a gym and he hasn’t been eating as much, it’s all his idea I’m not forcing anything on him. But to see him so happy about that really made me feel good because I know it’s hard for him he’s very self-conscious about it. Also, when he was a baby I never swaddled him and sometimes I think I should have. He is extremely ADHD and he was a terrible sleeper and I wonder if I would have swaddled him would it have helped him then and even now in the future I know it’s kind of a crazy thought. But I watch a lot of vlogs where women have just had babies and everybody’s swaddling and I feel guilty that I didn’t, oh well can’t change the past. Everett is just the cutest little thing ever by the way. So seeing my son happy this week and sharing it with me made me feel happy and good as well.

I wish these swaddlers had been available when my children were babies. My youngest was born 27 years ago. I have 3 children, and all of them fussed and cried during the night the first few months. Wrapping them up and holding them was the only way to soothe them. I'm sure this would have worked like a charm.

So, i get how you feel when you buy all these expensive swaddles and none worked out. Lol

I went back there, offered to tie her shoe, and tried to turn the situation into a positive. I let her know, with a sweet smile, that the last person in the relay is actually the fastest, so its actually a compliment that the other kids wanted to be first and her be last. She said "oh, okay! 😀" 5 minutes later, after the race, she came up to me with a sweet smile and said "thank you for telling me about what being last meant, it really helped me feel better." 😭😊❤

Babies have been sleeping forever, true... BUT not me. And 40+ years later, I still have a dicey relationship with sleep. I absolutely love sleeping but it literally tries to kill me every night. (Sleep apnea) Do I blame my mom? NOPE. Do I think that if she'd tried different things it'd be different? Honestly, I don't. She struggled after having me and did her complete best. I love that you are trying all the things and giving Ev his best chance to love and be loved by sleep. You can donate or return those that don't work. Wins all around! 💙

My boys had blanket sleepers that had the sac at bottom that they lived. They used them for likev6? Months. I loved them because they we’re warm with no blanket. Even in summer. We had central air so it was always cool in the houses. It was like a swaddle but did not have them then. When small I just wrapped them in one or two light blankets. They all slept in a crib at night! My younger ones slept in a bassinet for naps but that was in my living room. Not upstairs in crib.
