First smile: November 19th. My mom said she saw her make a slight smile a few days before, but I didn’t see her smile until the 19th. ;)
First “coo”: November 24th. It was along the lines of “ooh-gah”. Since then she’s said that, “la”, “ooh”, and “oh”. :heart:
First food: Cereal: November 3rd; Baby applesauce: December 2nd. She has the cereal in her nighttime bottle (1 tbsp. per 5 oz. of breast milk), and for the applesauce I gave her about a teaspoon’s worth earlier this evening.
First illness: Thrush: November 6th; Fungal rash: November 8th; Cold: November 30th. The thrush is gone, the rash is gone except for two small spots on the top of her head, and the cold, unfortunately, is still hanging on. :whimper:
I love my daughter. :cloudnine: And my husband. :heart: Speaking of him, post-pregnancy sex is interesting, to say the least. The first time we had sex I couldn’t really “relax” because I had fears of the contractions I’d have during an orgasm becoming painful. Thankfully, I got over that relatively quickly, and they weren’t painful. Heh. We first had sex exactly two weeks after Alyssa was born. :blush: I know, I know, we’re supposed to wait six weeks, or four weeks, or when I stop bleeding, or when the blood turns brown, or when I feel ready, or when the doctor says it’s okay, or when I grow a third leg and can talk in the native tongue of elephant. :eyeroll: I did lots of reading and research, and decided that as long as I felt comfortable, why the hell not!? 
We were really careful, slow, gentle, etc. It was a little uncomfortable, and it was painful when he’d hit up against my cervix, so we didn’t rush things.
Since then we’ve had sex a few times, and the past three ocassions things are back to normal. Sex is good. Kegel exercises are also good. Very good! :bounce: Yay for being just as tight (if not more) than before. Whoops. Sorry…TMI. :blah:

Awww I can’t wait until I get to have a baby. We need more pictures of that adorable daughter of yours too. ;-) And I’m ohsoglad that your sex life is getting back to normal. *sigh* It sucks living 2 1/2 hours away from your lover ya know? Oh well…I get 3 weeks at home soon…where’s that censored icon when I need it? ;)
Hey Mommy! :hug: Glad that rash has cleared up! And shes growing so fast. Glad the sex is back to normal just an fyi for ya. My brother and i are 11 mts 10 days apart. :dammit: Just becareful!!
I don’t know what I would do, if my husband and I had to go with out sex for a total of six weeks. I think I would go crazy. I would most likely do what you did, read about it then decided what is best. If your ready, you are ready. :vibes:
Aww your keeping a log!
How cute. ;) Well that’s good that the sex is back to normal. Amen to sex. 
:heart:
Awww, thats too cute! I still have all my baby books/logs of everything i did, you seem as if your going to be such a great mom!
Glad your sex life is back on track! Oh, and, i hope Alyssas cold goes away soon 
I remember what my family says my half-sister’s first word was. “Fuck”. Waaaay different from Alyssa’s. lol
First words aaww lol the new cam pic of you and Alyssa is so cute :vibes:
Chris and I waited until last week (which was three weeks after Taylor) to have sex. I figured, like you did, that if I was comfortable with it then I’d give it a go. *And* I, like you, am quite happy to find that I am actually in better “shape” coming out of a pregnancy than I was pre-pregnancy. lol :highfive:
I loveeee u’re calender how did u make it or when can I find info on it?
Well done hunny :hug:
Ok first of all..your baby is a month old right? almost everyone i know that had a baby…c-section, or vaginal had to wait 6 weeks after the kid was born. i hope you waited.
also, you’re NOT supposed to feed a newborn baby applesauce. ever wonder why she’s crying a lot? yeah that’s why. her stomach cannot handle that. same with the cereal. yes, it’s mixed in with milk but it’s still WAY too harsh.
i just hope for your sake your baby stays healthy, and i hope you don’t get pregnant again, because you seem like every single other young mother i know–rushing into things you aren’t ready for, begging people for money…granted i don’t know mucb about you, but it’s rather annoying to see you beg for cash.
c’est la vie.
Hehe, we getting a first word?
Normally I don’t retort to these kind of things, but this annoyed me. Good for you for stating your opinion and for leaving a web address: most people commenting against a web-blogger are usually too scared to leave a URL/email address. However, it’s obvious that you didn’t read the blog properly/carefully enough, e.g., “i hope you waited”. If you HAD read what Jennifer had to say, you would have noticed that, yes, she knew the risks, and, no, she did not wait for six weeks. She also said it was her decision, she felt comfortable, and hinted that she doesn’t want any comments saying, ‘oo, you should have waited’.
A comment box is for the readers’ comments on a person’s journal entry. That’s what you put, and there’s nothing wrong with stating your opinion. However, you have to read a blog entry properly before leaving a comment. Also, you don’t have to be as rude as you were in that last paragraph. State your opinion nicely, and no one like me will leave a reply to your comment.
A baby’s first word isn’t when they say oo-gah or something similar… that is just their first sound. A baby’s first word is the first actuall word they say. Most babies don’t start talking until they are over a year old.
Yeah, you’re right… you don’t know anything about her… if you did, then you would know that she wasn’t single. Also, she doesn’t BEG for money. She asks for it. And people on here don’t HAVE to give it to her. They do because they feel like it. And for the baby thing? Do you know how long people have been feeding their babies cereal since they were a few weeks old? A LONG FUCKING TIME! It is a new thing to not do it until they are a few months old. I’m healthy, my brother’s are healthy, all my friends are healthy, my parents and their parents, and all my relatives are healthy… and we were ALL given cereal at a few weeks old. I don’t know if you have kids or not but if you do, you stick to raising your’s and you let Jennifer raise her’s. If you DON’T, then shut the fuck up cause you don’t even know shit about raising a kid.
Wow, you know people who have had babies? We’ve got a regular Dr Spock here people! :laugh: I think her offer of a dollar or 2 in exchange for month log advertising is a fair trade. It’s not like she’s begging people to pay for her domain/webspace.
Dunno if this will actually reply to S, I hope it does. Who do you think you are? That was inconsiderate and rude. Read the entry before you reply! :blah:
Aw…its so sweet that you’re keeping track of all her little milestones. It makes your blog kind of like a baby book.
I just wanted to note something for “S”. It is actually quite common for those who’ve had a normal vaginal delivery to have sex before their six week appointment. In fact, many doctors *encourage* it, so they know if there are any problems they need to look into at the appointment.
At two weeks it is likely that her cervix was closed. That lowers the risk of infection *greatly*.
That’s so nice that you’ve kept track of Alyssa’s “firsts” I dont think my mum made a note of them
Its amazing how fast the time passes with babies! Glad to hear that you’re enjoying everything else as well! ;)
No, you don’t really know much about Jenn at all, do you?
That was *priceless*.
Applesauce, no. Cereal, yes. If only my son would take anything but mils. And hes almost 5 months old.
Oh yell. Shit i had sex 3 weeks after my son was born. Who cares when she had sex. Your not her mother. But yes, Jenn, 1 month is a lil to young for applesause. If you look it up or ask your docter, they will tell you 5 months and up for any kinda food besides milk and cereal. I asked my doc if i could start him and he said NO. Good job with the baby though.
You and your friends are really mean!!!! :blah: Who are you to judge her like you have been. You are real cowards post on here then go to your board and website and mock Jen there.
I’m sorry to hear that some girls who are jealous of you are making fun you.
This dummy keeps posting about you (http://after-all.net/)
(http://www.after-all.net/envy/viewtopic.php?t=138)
Your are evil S. You have no idea what its like to reaise a baby.
:blah:
I fear the pain of having babies but i love the afterward when they’ve come out already lol. I’ve wanted to be a gynae for long long time =). I dun really noe about not having sex when. But it wun kill 0o” i think so.
Sorry Jenn, but I don’t want to know how many times you had sex. I’m not sure it’s appropriate for you to blog about it. We know you shag, but can you please keep it to yourselves? Maybe just tone it down a little? *shrug*
would woudl you know about babies?
Doctors typically DO advise you to wait 6 weeks to have sex after birth not only to allow your body to heal… but also because this is when you ARE the most fertile. Breast feeding makes you even more fertile so please be careful Jenny.
I do have two kids, and I know from experience that babies really can’t handle cereal.. and applesauce is just way to acidic for an infant’s system to digest. Just my 2cents.
Seriously, if you don’t like what Jenn writes, you don’t have to read it.
Yay for making the point without attacking.
It’s Jenn’s blog, she can write whatever she damn well pleases in it. If you don’t like what she writes about, don’t read it.
Aah, but Sonya is a regular visitor to K-M-K and is the type of visitor that explores /everything/, so maybe post a little warning or lock the entries?
And don’t get all emotional.
Again, why should she?
That wasn’t graphic at all. She pays for the webspace, not you.
