Caellum Shain, born June 2nd at 2:23 PM at 37+4. He's perfect, 6 lb 15 oz and 20 inches. He's been such a good baby, lots of sleeping and he has latched on quite a few times and sucked but he doesn't stay on long lol. Hoping he picks it up soon. It was a long labor, about 24 hours. He was born with the assistance of a vacuum because he did not want to come on his own, he had his head turned a way that no matter how much I pushed he would not get free. One push push with the vacuum and he was almost all the way out, one more push without it and there he was! It was a very hard labor, I opted for an epi after 10 hours when the pit and them breaking my waters was so painful that I started vomiting. I don't regret it because of how much longer it went on, everything took about 24 hours. Not my birth plan but I'm just happy he's here and it was vaginal.

Congrats! ? he's adorable. My little boy did that when he was born but was very lazy and even though midwives said he had a great latch they said he had a weak suck. He was only drinking enough to quench the hunger, not fill himself up. So I ended up having to supplement with pumped milk also. Hoping for a better go this time around ☺️
Hopefully he does better for you, good luck!
Thank you ladies! He's been a joy so far, he's in perfect health. When he's awake he's very alert, but I think the long labor wore him out too. He will latch on to breastfeed but only sucks about 5 times and then stops and will do it again 3-5 times so I hope he will be more awake tomorrow and stay on longer. I've also been pumping and giving him what tiny bit of colostrum comes of that. He has soiled two diapers since birth though so I think he's getting something!

Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Preggies,
Today, we are deeply saddened by the news that @Martinajjones' baby, Jason Andrew Colley, was born early and passed away. He was born today, on his father's birthday, at 34 weeks, weighing 4 pounds 7 ounces and 17 inches long. @Martinajjones has been a strong member of this community since January. We are so sad for her loss, and her family's, and our thoughts go out to her.
You can message the family on this post, if you would like to add your condolences.
Best wishes,

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
Awe he is absolutely perfect!! You did amazing mama! Enjoy your handsome little man!
