Resveratrol

Have you heard of Resveratrol? You know that stuff that's in red wine that's good for your health? You've heard that Italians live longer because they drink lots of red wine. Well, resveratrol is the substance in red wine that is anti-aging. Cellular anti-aging, that is. Shaklee has concentrated resveratrol into a liquid supplement called Vivix.

Kid's Modern Farm Table





I found a new blog a couple months ago and I have been stalking the site ever since! It's called Knock-Off Wood. Ana White is a stay at home mommy blogger who designs plans to build furniture you can find in popular catalogs such as Pottery Barn, West Elm & Crate & Barrel. And she posts her plans for FREE!!!! I've been wanting to build the West Elm Modern Farm Table forever and I finally did it, only I modified the measurements from Ana's plan to make it kid-sized!

Long time...........

I haven't posted here in a very LONG time so I just thought I'd post a real quick update. We moved from FL to Mississippi two weeks ago. We're settling in just fine and love our new place. We've been blessed so much recently between selling our home and moving fairly smoothly. I hope to post more frequently or at least once a month for the 1 or 2 friends who actually check here! ;) Keaton and Autumn are doing great but ask for their old friends a lot. I miss ALL my girls back in Navarre, I had such a great circle of friends, old and new. There's an oil spill that may affect our local economy currently and my personal interests of eating seafood! Anyways, gotta go live life, hope to hear what everyone else is up to. I've got big news to share soon. And no, I'm NOT pregnant.

Take care, April & The Tottles

Almost touching the curve...

PLEASE NOTE: This all happened 2 years ago, I'm simply copying it to my blog since I didn't have a blog back then.

Originally written April 17, 2008

Autumn is going to be 6 months old on April 21st and she weighs 11 lbs, 7 oz as of today. Her dot is almost touching the 5th percentile curve on the growth chart for her adjusted age which is 3 1/2 months. The cold she had last month turned into pneumonia but it wasn't so bad, lasted less than a week and she got better quickly with amoxicillin. She's doing really well, she has fat rolls on her inner thighs and pudgy little arms. She still has a huge umbilical hernia but that will need to be fixed surgically when she's older. Older? Not sure when the Dr's mean when they say older but I'm not too concerned about it right now. It doesn't hurt her or make anything complicated so it's just an eyesore for now, =P Lol. I think my 18 mo old son thinks Autumn also has a penis, but on her belly.

Much overdue update

PLEASE NOTE: This all happened 2 years ago, I'm simply copying it to my blog since I didn't have a blog back then.

So it's been a while since I updated here. Since Autumn came home I haven't been on the internet more than few minutes at a time to just check email, or look at recipes or read up on some questions I had about babies or something. Anyway, Autumn is doing really well. She is 9 lbs now and just had her first cold last week. She did pretty well, the Dr prescribed an inhaler for her of Albuterol, it seemed to help her breathe better while she was fighting her cold. In January, I found she had an ovarian hernia and she had to have surgery to repair it, turns out it was on both sides so they fixed both. Her and I stayed at the hospital overnight and she was still taking bottles and breast until that night, we just went all breast and she's been exclusively breastfeeding ever since. NO MORE BOTTLES! It's so nice, pumping was getting really old. So many people are amazed when they find out how much of a preemie she was (2lb 11oz, 29-weeker) and that she is now breastfeeding. I'm really proud of her because some Dr's said she wouldn't be able to. I have a friend who got her 25 weeker to nurse exclusively so that is what kept my determination going. Autumn's pediatrician was also very encouraging with the breastfeeding. She wears 0-3 months right now. She still spits up all the time but gains weight steadily. In the last 2 weeks she's started cooing and smiling, it's so adorable. She gets Synagis shots once a month for RSV. What else? What else? Not much else to say about her, she's such a little blessing and we thank the Lord she has no serious problems.

BF'ing getting better

PLEASE NOTE: This all happened 2 years ago, I'm simply copying it to my blog since I didn't have a blog back then.

Well, I've been praying a lot especially right before a feeding that I'll have patience and Autumn will learn to feed better. And she's doing so much better. Her problems are that she takes a long time to latch on but once she does she does great. But then I think she overeats and then spits up a lot afterwards. I think I'll try stopping her halfway through to try to burp her. She also is very sleepy all the time so I have to wake her up for feedings most of the time. It's very tempting to just let her sleep through but I know she needs to gain weight. It's also very tempting to just give her a bottle when she takes forever to latch on. We've been trying to breastfeed most of her day feedings and at night we mostly do bottles cause I just don't want to be up all night trying to get her to latch on. Hopefully she'll get strong enough (or smart enough?) to breastfeed all day long. Then K.J. won't have to wake up at night either to feed her a bottle while I pump. I can be the only one with sleepless nights for a while. I forget when Keaton started sleeping for long stretches but I think it was 4 or 5 months. But it was so much easier with him, he was a breastfeeding pro and he slept next to me and nursed on his own while I slept. Sometimes I had to adjust my body so he could get it, but then I'd go back to sleep while he nursed and he would let go when he was done. That was great! I do have Autumn in my bed but in a "snuggle nest" which keeps her safe from me and safe from rolling around. www.snugglenest.com Even though it can be beneficial to have her sleep next to me, she's just so little I'm scared to let her. She had her Dr appt Wed and her weight was exactly the same, but the Ped didn't seem concerned, he was just happy she didn't lose weight. She got 2 immunizations and she was a champ, cried for the shots but was content about 30 seconds later. Just like her big brother!

Autumn's home!

PLEASE NOTE: This all happened 2 years ago, I'm simply copying it to my blog since I didn't have a blog back then.

Autumn came home Thurs, Dec 13th. We're so happy!

She weighed 4 lb 6 oz as of Dec 12th. Took her to the pediatrician on the 14th and she weighed 4 lb 9 oz. Everything's going great except for breastfeeding, it's hard work for both of us! She has a Dr. Appt tomorrow so hopefully she's still gaining weight as I have increased her feedings at the breast. Sorry so long for an update, been a little busy.
