Sleep when your Baby is sleeping.

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today I want to talk about the common cliche that I was told "sleep once your baby is asleep". The big question is that does this really work? Is it ideal? OK, for me yeah, I have found out that it is not realistic for me, because most of the time, after all the bouncing, singing and dancing round the house,to get Mikayla to sleep, I am already fully awake and cannot go to sleep. Most of the time, when I think of sleeping and I am eyeing the pile of clothes, OR the full sink OR the dirty floor, and I ask myself, who will clean up this mess, while I take my beauty sleep? No one. A times I find out that once she is asleep, I can work very quickly with sanity of mind, peacefully and not feeling irritated or on edge. So for me, sleep while she is asleep does not work for me. But... There are days I just allow nature rock me to sleep as she sleeps, I wake up refreshed or with a headache , because she does not sleep for long, I find a tiny finger inside my nose or trying to part my lips. Yes that's My little potatoes already up and ready to play. So most of the time, whilst she is asleep, I work quickly, make dinner, clean up the house leaving me a head start for an early night. When I come home with work, I tend to work at mid night when she is asleep, but I always try to do as much as I can when I am at work, because it is usually impossible to work once I am home. Now that she is a toddler, when I am moping or sweeping, she must not see me doing that, its always war, because my little Missy must struggle for the broom to imitate mummy or try to put the mop back in the bucket and imitate mum and mop. That's the story of my life. What's your take?

Myomectomy surgery, and my faith

Image
I was 26 years old when I found out that I had fibroids. I am African American. I have had heavy periods with clots for 3years but when I went to my GP, the nurse dismissed it as anemia and probably my change in diet. In 2012 after uni, I decided to have the contraceptive implant under my arm so I could focus on my education to become a lawyer. Whilst I was in law school, I did not have a period for 6 months, but on the 7 th month I had a very heavy clot so much that it weighed down my knickers, as big as an orange that came out, I was scared and ran to d GP and he thought I was having a miscarriage, and I thought that the contraceptive had failed me. But after a pregnancy test I was not, and then the doctor spoke to me about Fibroids, which I dismissed because all the people I knew that had Myomectomy where in their late or early 40s so I dismissed it. In November 2013 after I was called to the bar (became a solicitor and advocate) I had taken out the implant in October bec...

Post Myomectomy

Post myomectomy operation, I will advice that you stick to the doctor’s advice, do all he tells you even if your body feels otherwise. I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I came home, having OCD, I unpacked my bags myself, and put things away. I also took very short walks, from the house to the gate, as the doctor told me to exercise my calf muscles. On my day 2 at home, I made lunch, and also swept my house from kitchen to bathroom, lounge and bedroom, as I was bored, and also because I feel no one can clean to my taste. I did not feel any pain, and I could bend, although I could not stand up right. A week later, I removed the stitches, and then the pay back began. First of all it was so painful taking off the plaster as my pubic hair had grown a bit. (Rub a lot of baby oil on all sides of the plaster before you go to have it removed) when the thread was taken off, it was as if the pain had been released. I could not walk upright again; I was in so much pain, had swellings ...

FOLIC ACID REVIEW

I started taking folic acid about 3 weeks ago, excited about it, and feeling very prepared for my journey; all of a sudden I started having pimples very tiny ones like rash on my forehead .  I started using my Italian towel, but to no avail.  It still kept coming up fresh every day and multiplying. I had to sit back and think about what new stuff I have introduced to my system. I then pinned it down to the folic acid. I browsed about it, and I found out that most people complained that they did have acne from taking the folic acid. It has been 3 days since I stopped taking it, and I can see the pimples is suppressing on its own. My husband explained to me that the dosage maybe very high. My dearest friend Mina, did suggest that I take pregnacare in prepration, for conception, as it also has all the nutrients I need from conception, and pregnancy.  So I think that I will start that by the end of the month. A pharmacist did explain to me that in pregnacare the amou...
