Birthing Class Reunion

In order from birth - left to right - Peyton, Lili, Sophia, Arthur, Orlaith, Georgia, Violet and Odysseus

Saturday evening we hosted a reunion for our birthing class. All 8 couples and their adorable babies showed up! It was wonderful to see everyone. We exchanged birthing stories, baby stories and parenting tips. It was quite fun! We decided that we are going to try and get everyone together every 6 months or so. We want to keep up with one another. It is nice to have other parents to talk to who have babies the same age!

3 Month Shots

Orlaith had two more vaccinations yesterday. This time it was two shots, one in each thigh. She SCREAMED, and actually refused to breast feed. Nursing was supposed to be my secret weapon to keep her from crying or at least calm her down. At least it worked the first round of shots. It really broke my heart. Within a few hours of her shots she became feverish, was crying a lot and did not feel well at all. She wanted to be held, but she would scream if I held her because it hurt her legs. I finally got her comfortable in one of our slings and she fell asleep snuggled against me. I felt like such a bad mommy because I didn't even have Tylenol in the house. I thought that since she did so well the first time, that she wouldn't need it this time either. We had to wait for Daddy to being us some. Once she got a dose in her, I could tell she felt better. She ate well, and then I gave her a bath that she really enjoyed. Shortly after that she passed out. I put her to sleep in bed next to me last night. I knew she didn't feel well, and I wanted her close. She always sleeps better that way anyway. I got smiles from her this morning, so I think we are past the worst. I learned my lesson though. She will be getting Tylenol before her shots from now on!

New Look!

In case you didn't notice, I have a new name and a new feel for the blog! Thanks to Jessica at The Frilly Coconut! I am super excited to introduce O'Baby Orlaith, where I can write all about being a mommy and my precious Orlaith! Since her name is in the new title, I thought it would be nice to remind everyone how to actually pronounce her name. It is an Irish name, with a Gaelic spelling. Let's just say it looks harder to say than it actually is. Ignore the 'ith' and just pronounce it 'Orla'. It's that easy! We'll talk about her middle name another time!

Grab my new button too! Help me spread the word about my mommy blog. I love new readers!

I will soon be replacing the belly pics with a slide show of Orlaith pictures. Enjoy!

I have new buttons for reviews and giveaways. I am not hosting any at this time, but I hope to get that up and running at some point, so stay tuned!
