Blogging Mommy is… Jennifer
Her kiddo is… Hailey
Her location is… Montreal, Quebec, Canada
How old are you now and how old is/are your munchkin(s)? I turned 22 on August 9th, and my daughter was born on august 30th and that makes her 3 months old.
If you could describe your child in 3 words, what would they be? happy, intelligent and beautiful.
What’s an average day like for you these days? I wake up between 8 and 10 depending on when hailey starts tossing around. (she sleeps in my bed) We play for a little while in bed until she starts getting grumpy cause shes hungry. Then she eats, we play, she falls asleep and thats pretty much repeated all day with a bunch of diaper changes until its bed time. I try to get her to bed around 8:30 but that just about always fails. Usually she starts getting tired whiney around 9 and if i dont manage to get her to fall asleep quickly enough then she’s up and whiney until whenever she gets exhausted enough which is usually between 11 and 1am. Sometimes she wakes up for a quick feed around 5am but thats been happening less often now.
If you had a day all to yourself (kid-free & lottery-financed), how would you spend it? I’d go shopping in the morning and id probably end up buying more stuff for my daughter then myself. (i seriously cannot enter a store that has toys/baby clothes without getting her something) In the afternoon id go get a massage and facial with my mom and sister. Id take my whole family out for supper at a super nice restaurant, and then id rent out a movie theater so we can watch a movie at the theater without having to listen to ppl talk and cell phones go off. After that i’d probably want to go get my daughter as quick as possible because i have a hard time leaving her for a few hours, i dont think i could handle a whole day! (though i guess that might change when she gets a bit older)
What would you say your parenting style is like? So far, i think i’ve been pretty easy going. I go nuts though when random ppl touch her, i absolutly hate when a total stranger passes by and either touches her face or grabs her hands. (she just about is always sucking on her fingers) She’s been breast fed since she was a little over a day old. (i couldnt at the begining because of some meds i was on and i couldnt move my arms) She eats a bit of rice cereal every morning, i don’t necessarily believe that food should be put off until 6 months. She had just about all the signs that she was ready to eat at around 2 months old. (it gets pretty hard to breast feed her sometimes because she always wants to stop eating to chat & she doesn’t push the food out of her mouth with her tongue) She wears cloth diapers most of the time and i absolutly love them. The times she doesnt wear them is because i was too lazy/tired to wash them the previous day. I don’t believe in spankings in my opinion its too easy to get carried away, and also too easy to take it a step above just spanking. Hopefully she will be able to learn through positive reinforcement and time outs.
What do you feel you have enough of in life? What do you want more of? Less of? I definitly have enough love and support. I wish i could have a tiny bit more money and another baby someday. and sometimes i wish i had less responsibilities.
How “blended” is your family? Are you still with the dad(s) of your kid(s)? Who has whose last name in the family? I’m still with Haileys dad but he lives in the states and i live in canada so its pretty complicated. She has his last name.
What are some of your big pet peeves? People who drive like idiots and ppl who park on the sidewalk. seriously makes no sense to me that they think its okay for them to do that! oohh and ppl who are always late.
What are the most unique things about yourself? I seem to like complicated things. I put everyones feelings and needs before mine. and i have no more gallbladder!
And finally, what’s your writing/blogging history and style? Throughout most of highschool some friends and i had a blog. We’d make stories with pictures, write about our lives. Was lots of fun. I have a pretty bad writing style, i make a ton of run on sentances, use crappy punctuations, dont use capital letters, im probably a grammar freaks nightmare, sometimes i write stuff that makes no sense to anyone but me, but i get to blame all that on the fact that im french.
