That I have been doing great with everything I am doing for my daughter concerning the breastfeeding! Even though my mother insisted I wasn't & that I have been wrong! But the dr confirmed in front of her that I am doing everything right! = ) Yay- points for me, lol.

The older 3 boys' grades are up where they should be & they are doing better. Branden is actually talking to his couselors like he is supposed to(bc he was going thru alot of probs caused by the mother & cutting himself at 9yrs old!-now she is no longer allowed to have visits with him at this point) And the other 2 are behaving a lil better. Then Dylan & Ariana are done with their sports for this season. And my bf Jimmy recently had success in court & will now be getting the kids 3 weekends out of the month friday til sunday & in the months that there are 5 weekends we get them 4w out of 5! Their mother didn't get hardly anything she had requested in the papers sent to courts to have the court date. After the holidays he will be taking her to court again for the exact dates of holidays among a few other things to be stated on the court order. And hopefully with all of this she will make a mistake again by not lgiving him the kids for his time bc if she has one more time of that then her support will be revoked. = ) yay! lol. But other than that- all of them are getting soo big! And soo smart!

Learning to work thru any problems I come across with breastfeeding my daughter. Being a first time mom & first time breastfeeder. Dealing with the gas problems my daughter has been having- I don't always know how to help her. Dealing with not seeing the other children as much as we want to, bc they live with the other parent/guardian at the time being. Trying to be there for the children has been hard since the boys live an hr away in DE, & the younger 2 even though they are closer.

Dylan is in football & Ariana is in cheerleading.
Jimmy, Branden, & Corey enjoy riding their bikes & scooters & doing tricks/stunts.

My life is a crazyyy & hectic one at the moment, I can't wait to have my own place again. I hate living with my parents bc my mother has been very unsupportive of me with the breastfeeding & fights with me all the time over things pertaining to breastfeeding as well as everyday ordeals. She thinks that just because she breastfeed for a short while with my sister (25yrs ago) & bc she & my sis were told that my sis wasn't able to produce enough milk for my nephew that she knows what shes talking about & thinks that Im not producing enough for my daughter & that I NEED to give her formula/bottle! But I refuse to bc she is still producing diapers & growing & gaining, but she doesn have a slight case of breastmilk jaundice I believe. Also she has been gassy but Im trying to keep things out of my diet for that.
Other than those problems wit hmy duaghter things are going a bit better than before in my life- we will be able to see my bfs younger 2 children more now(3weeknds out of the month! yay) But still not able to see the boys much bc they live in DE about almost 2hrs away I believe. But then I don't have a job & nor does my bf right now bc no one is hiring for him to get one right now. And I won't e going back to work till the end of January early Feb.

My baby girl & my stepkids.<33333333333 I love them all with all my heart! And my bf also. = )

My future hubby, our kids, my family/friends, my nephew, singing, having fun, enjoying life.
