I need to read to the baby more but I need to get baby or kids books I feel wierd reading him my People magizine or my Fitness magizine. ha

Yknot, hahaha that's funny! I wonder who my son will take after me or him... hopefully the best of the both of us... if I would hate to see him having anxiety like his dad and starts being clumsy like me. Hehe hopefully he will be friendly and fun like the both of us and have his dad's brains and my tanable skin. hehe

Chalam, yeah I'm so excited to watch him grow up! The best part I get to be there to help him! My husbands agreed I can take on a part time evening job so we will always be home with our son! Yay! :)

Just in case anyone posted on my other post about going back... obviously I changed my mind after learning about my pregnancy and honestly I didn't know people caught the last post I made about being pregnant on that page and thank you for the kind comments and advice people made on that one. It kinda reasured me I made the right decision, because I knew it would have been hard but I was willing to do that for the relationship of my family for my child... I just didn't know my child was already in my stomach! haha http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198556/4/Alot-has-Changed-and-Im-going-BACK

yelp I think it's best for the little one. :)

Wow! Congratulations! I hope if I have a child of my own someday, it'll be a boy, mostly because boys have cool little clothes to wear. I wish I was a kid again when I see all that stuff. As a stepfather of a 2-year-old girl myself, I like to think I could offer some meaningful advice, but I'm not that great at it, even after a year's practice.

Let's see...diapers are expensive, but...if you live near a Target, get Target brand diapers. They're good, cheaper, and Target usually has coupons for $1.50 off the boxed diapers. I wasn't really there for the first year of my stepdaughter's life, unfortunately, so I can't offer much advice beyond that. Potty training as soon as possible will be a good idea. Um...definitely read to your baby, start now. It will definitely pay off as time passes. You won't see it all right away, just be patient. And...let the kid explore, so long as he's safe. Try to acknowledge his feelings with words as much as possible.

Wow. Haven't e-mailed you in ages. I'm pleased you remembered me. I wish you all the best on your new addition!

I, too, was tempted to go back to the JWs for a time. But the emotional price of that is far, far too high. My wife was DF'd for her entire pregnancy, and the child came out extremely emotional. I think it would serve you best to stay away from that environment. For your sake and for your child's sake. They want you to play by their rules, but they can rewrite them whenever they feel like. Nobody can win a game like that, except the person writing the rules. I'm glad you're not going back. Finding direction on the outside is a constant struggle. I recommend as much reading as possible--fill your mind with stuff that frees it intellectually and spiritually. Don't confine yourself to any one set of ideas. Read books about freedom, especially.

I just had my first anniversary this past weekend, and it's been quite the see-saw in my life, but...I'm hanging in there. Under the weather today, but I think the worst of it is over for me. I really do. Hopefully...

Glad to hear from you! Feel free to e-mail me if you still have my e-mail and need to talk!

sd-7, Hehe they do have cool little clothes and toys for the little ones… I feel like I get to be a kid again when I play toys and video games with my nephews, 4 and 7. And I think you gave good advice, thanks! JAnd I agree it would be a lot of stress on me to try and get back in just because I’m an emotional person anyways. I also have a lot of mixed feelings about my family and what I been taught.

Congratulations on your anniversary! And sorry you don’t feel good. Hope things get brighter and you feel better for ya! J

I'm back! How is everyone today?!
