To vaccinate or to not vaccinate?

Posted on March 28, 2013 by babybellykelli

UGHHHHHHH!!!!! So am I the only who thinks that someone’s vaccination status is kind of like their political views and religious beliefs? In other words, they should never be talked about outside of the home?

As much as I don’t want to write about this, it is something that I’ve always been somewhat curious about, but to be honest not that passionate about. It’s not that I don’t care about it, it’s just that you won’t see me bringing the subject up to EVERYONE I come in contact with, and you won’t see me fighting with someone about it till I’m blue in the face. Now get me started on which is better, Coke or Pepsi and then we’ll have a heated discussion…

Vaccinations. Do you? Or don’t you?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Posted on February 14, 2013 by babybellykelli

Yesterday I made a point to make sure everyone knew that when I said “have a good V-day” that they didn’t confuse it with Venereal Disease day. I feel like having both words start with the same letter was done somewhat on purpose considering the two sometimes go hand in hand. If you’re not in a committed relationship people, wrap it up. Just saying.

Breastfeeding in Public

Posted on February 14, 2013 by babybellykelli

Breastfeeding is a natural thing that goes back to the beginning of man, so why it is always such a hot topic and controversial social issue is beyond me. I understand that not everyone feels comfortable with the thought of one human sucking on another human’s nipples in public, even if it is a baby, but if you can’t see it happening, than why worry about?

Our 3 Month Update – baby blues, blue pills, and a little blue seal..

Posted on January 11, 2013 by babybellykelli

Little BK is 3 months old today and I am amazed that we have survived! To say that being a parent is easy, would be a huge lie, and these last three months have reminded us of that.

Three months for myself has been extremely difficult. With J home for the past month on disability healing from his knee surgery, and already battling PPD, I have been pushed over my limit multiple times. To make a long story short, I started taking my “happy pills” a little over a week ago. After a very scary moment where I felt suicidal and very hopeless, my husband and I realized that I needed more help than we’d thought. I’ve always battled depression. As a teenager I suffered from suicidal thoughts and then again after I had my daughter at 18…I never thought that I would get back to that place where I am now. It was scary to say the least.
