A healthy looking sick person

I was born with two arms legs, hands and all the other body parts you expect when a baby is born. I am no different then any other human being besides the fact that we are all individuals and special in our own way. Even though I lived healthy enough I took my health for granted even when I was diagnosed with MS and a blood disease that I realised how unhealthy I lived. I still didn't change my life though I only started to do that when my illnesses started to affect my daily activities, I started reading up on my illnesses and how I could improve my life style to improve my health. I stayed under the traditional doctors while looking at other alternatives. I started with my diet and changed habits I had had for 28 years ( the amount of years I had been on earth). It was when I got sick that I realised how much my health means to me. I am now a healthy looking sick person I am not yet fully where I want to be with my health but I will get there.

Good baby advise

When I had my first baby everybody had great advise for me.
Because I didn't know anything about babies I had never changed a nappy and only had held two babies before Lena was born I listened to it all and everybody had their opinion.
So many people give advise about what to do with the baby and how to do things with the baby.
the first 6 weeks I did everything that people advised me to do It was only after the 6 weeks that I started to get to know Lena and what to do.
The advise is all meant really well but it stays advise, I always say advise needs to be made your own.
Now Lena is three months old I know her and what she wants and what works. Now I can prove all those know it all''s wrong. Every baby is different and the person who is with the baby 24/7 knows the baby best.
I am following my own instinct now and when somebody gives advise I take it as advise make it my own or let it go in the one ear and out the other. As a first time mam and never interested in babies I found it all very confusing but together  (Lena and me) we are getting there
