I’ve been meaning to share with you that I’m a proud father of 4 awesome little girls. My oldest is 4, my middle is 3, my youngest is 2. My wife and I are not really that far apart on our childbearing years, and we are still in a good long way into our second trimester.
It’s true that we’ve been married for a long time, and we’ve been expecting our first child for around 3 years now. And as the first time pregnancy is not a very pleasant experience, we are now just about to have our second. However, as my wife has been going through her pregnancy with her first child, she has been going through her first trimester with her second. And she is now 3 weeks into her second pregnancy with her third.
Its true. I had three children before I even had my wife. I had two before I even met my wife. They were my children as well as my nieces and nephews.
I have been going through my first trimester with my second child, which is the third in the family. And I can say that the experience is a little different than the first time around. The first time I was able to breastfeed and nurse like a normal human being, with a baby that was my baby, but once I had a baby of my own I was able to actually breastfeed and nurse like a normal human being.
Even though my second child is only 1 month old, my wife and I are both breastfeeding. We do it this way because I am trying to get back to my pre-baby state of mind. For me, nursing and breast feeding are more comfortable and more natural than the first time around.
This is one of the reasons why I am a fan of baby bottles. As I have said before, I am not a pro-bottle person. I love my bottles and I am very comfortable feeding my son. I am not anti-bottle or a bottle hater. I would be happy to have all the bottles I need in my house if it meant that I could be a normal human being again. And I am not saying that all breast feeding is bad.
The only thing I can come up with is that many new moms are doing it because they need to be in the position in which they are, and because that is what they are used to. But even as a mom, I think that the vast majority of nursing mothers would have a better experience if they just had some baby formula. The idea that a new mom would have to have a “bottle” is, frankly, ridiculous.
I think it is also ridiculous that the concept of “pre-packaged baby formula” exists. Of course, we need to have some form of infant formula in order to breastfeed, but we don’t need to have it pre-packaged in a baby bottle. We need to have some form of formula that is easily accessible and can be used and used correctly.
That was a pretty lame introduction to the new game, I know. But it’s good to be reminded that the idea of baby formula is ridiculous.
We’re still not used to the new way of life that we’ve entered into. I have friends who are pregnant and are just as excited as I am to be at home with my baby girl, but they are also afraid of the unknown. It’s scary.
