My Son

DRAYGEN
This is my little guy. He is 2 months old and he is truly my treasure. I honestly never thought I'd have a baby, let alone a little boy. My husband and I wanted a girl, had the name picked out long ago and always assumed we'd have a girl, but this little guy was like, "Nope! Look at me! I'm a boy!" And every ultra sound after that, he made sure we knew it. It was a little weird at first but we quickly got used to the idea and right away chose his name, since it's a spelling variation of what my husband originally wanted. He's such a sweet little guy and we adore him. He just started smiling and doing this little giggle thing and every time I see a smile from him it makes my day!

His Birthday

 Draygen was born early. His due date was May 2, 2017 but because of my age and first time pregnancy the doctor wanted me to be induced. He was born on April 27, 2017 at 12:22 pm. Labor induction was painful and didn't work and after 38 hours, we opted for a C-section. Nothing was wrong with the little guy, he just didn't want to come out! I was terrified to have a C-section but now having been through it, I'm grateful to not have been through regular childbirth.

Feeling Unloved...

This is me and my emotions right now about this subject and as  silly or illogical as it may sound to anyone else.  I am hurt by other people and by my baby. First of all, I am not stupid. I realize my 5 month old son does not have the decision making skills in his brain to purposely seek out to hurt, manipulate or play favorites. I know this, I do.  I'm just having a really hard time lately with the fact that Draygen's new ability has been displayed upon everyone but me. In other words, he has learned to reach out to people that he wants, and he doesn't do that for me at all. He puts his arms out and get's excited when he sees his aunt and his daddy, and leans toward Grandma. I admit it's jealousy on my part...considering I'm the one who takes care of him the majority of the day and gets up with him at night. I feel like maybe I need to go away on my own for hours just to see if he likes me when I get back!

In a rut

Draygen was being camera shy...lol Baby and I seem to be in a rut. We are both bored these days with the same old toys, books and video songs. I have a lot of ideas for things to do when he's older but he's too young (10 months now) to do any of those things right now. So we end up doing the same old things. *sigh* Any ideas on what else to do?? I've looked up what to do with a 9/10 month old and I've basically already done them! Either that or they are short little things that don't occupy much time. I love my little boy so much and I want to be able to entertain him and enjoy it myself, but I'm find it increasingly difficult. Walks usually cure the boredom for a while for both of us and they take up time, which is great, but the weather has not cooperated lately. Last week we had several days of snow that stuck around and this week it's cold and rainy. To top all this off I'm battling a shoulder impingement injury...no fun and not easy when const...

What's A Mamma Bat?

Proud Mamma Bat If you've come across my blog and by now you are wondering what the heck is a Mamma Bat? You could go look it up, or just sit back and listen to me explain. I consider myself "alternative" when it comes to my style and I identify with the goth subculture . Elitists may argue that I'm "not goth" because I don't dress goth 24-7 but that's a whole other can of worms. The point is I love goth style and everything creepy and spooky. Goth's who are new to subculture are often called "baby bats" so therefore being a goth like mom, I call myself a "mamma bat." I call Draygen my little beastie. My little Beastie A Skeleton outfit is of course a must for every Baby Bat!
