When I made the decided to breastfeed my baby, it was a decision that felt as obvious as making sure he had diapers. Everyone knows The saying "Breast is best" when it comes to feeding your baby, even if it's not always acted upon. I only breastfed my firstborn for a couple of days before giving up. It was painful and I didn't really have much help, but with the wealth of information at our fingertips today it was extremely easy to find the answers to any questions I had. Also, after I delivered, I was visited by a lactation nurse twice a day until I left. Her name was Psyche, and she was so helpful and enthusiastic that I was constantly motivated.      My original goal was to breastfeed until he turned one. Then when the one year mark got here, it just seemed strange to stop cold turkey. Yeah, he had turned one, but he didn't stop needing me for comfort or for food. He refused to drink cow's milk. He would always throw the bottle or go and shake it ou

Maternity Session are very popular. I decided to share a recent one I done. Guys when the mother of your child wants you to do maternity photos with her, remember you will never be able to get those memories back. The young lady wrote a letter to her child's father on what it meant for him to be a part of her pregnancy. Dear Roderick, I'm So Appreciative of you for stepping up and being there throughout my whole pregnancy with the baby not only have you been there for me but Jay also , you mean everything to us whether you know it or not. I know I've been difficult but thank you for dealing with me during my different emotions especially my stubborn moods and eating up your food without asking. These pictures means everything to me.

I know it wasn't easy dealing with my mood swings outfit changes and just my attitude all at once but you

I have made it home from after having my baby. The kids have came home, and the bills are piling up. I am stressed and exhausted. My mom comes over to cook and helps as much as she can, but I enjoy doing things myself. I don't want my father to be at home alone, so I turned her down when she offered to stay. My kids are on a schedule, so feeding them, putting them to sleep, and taking their bathe, has not been a problem. The new baby is a very good baby. she sleeps most of the time, after I breastfeed her, and take her bathe. As the house is quite, and all the kids are sleep, I rush to take a shower. The one time , and place I can talk to God, cry, and release anger. I sat at the table to add up all my bills. My husband bought $600.00 by the house before he went to work. He wasn't able to spend time with the kids because they were asleep. He has claim to be staying with his mama. After, adding the bills, and looking at the money I had, I became frustrated. I knew all the bi

Pregnant with daughter Anilah On July 08,2014 I woke up around 8:30 am as usual, but something was different. I went to the bathroom and my stomach was extremely hard and my baby wasn't moving. So I went to my mothers room woke up her, and they rushed me to the hospital. We arrived to a hospital here in Montgomery where I went straight upstairs to Labor and Delivery.  I was explaining to the nurses why I was visiting, and the first they did was put me on the baby monitor. Patiently waiting with my family, they couldn't find her heartbeat so they tried an ultrasound instead.  There was still no heartbeat. When one of the doctors arrived he touched around my belly, but didn't say a word as if he knew there was something wrong.  One of the nurse,  came in, and sat next to me, and said " I'm sorry Latasha she's gone and there is nothing we can do to bring her back". My family and I sat in the room devastated wondering how could somet

My mother was killed April 12, 1998. This was a day I will never forget. At the time I was 7 years old. I remember the details of this day so vividly as if it happened today. It was Easter Sunday, my mom got my brother and I dressed for church. As we were attempting to leave my dad sparked an argument with my mom. The next thing I know he took her keys and we were waiting on a ride. We never made it to the Easter service. My cousin later came to pick us up so we were able to attend the egg hunt. After we were done with Easter celebrations we went to my cousins house. As the night time hours begin to approach my mom deemed it necessary to get her keys to her car. My cousin took us home. My mom informed my brother and I that she would be right back. What happened next was life changing. My mom went and knocked on the door to the apartment we lived in and waited. Finally my dad came outside. My parents argued for quite some time. My dad walked back into the house and my mothe

Losing my mother at the age of 3 made me feel so lost. Growing up without her I was very rebellious. I've always questioned what would my mom do, what would she say, or how would she react to certain challenges that I've faced! I hate that my mom missed my graduations, proms, the birth of her first grandchild, and other special moments in my life. When I think of my mom it hurts me to the core, knowing that she's not here! I can't call my mom to babysit my son, ask her mommy questions, neither can I visit her in the flesh! Once the passing of my mother came into existence my aunt and grandmother took all 4 of my mother's kids in to keep us together. I can remember back when I was at least 6 or 7 years old, calling my grandmother my mom. My oldest sister would always get upset because, I didn't quite understand that our mother was deceased. My sister always told me our mom was dead she not coming back. I used to cry when I got up to age, to truly und

 These ladies were complete strangers, but they all have one thing in common, Lupus.          Lupus has affected over 1.5 million Americans, mostly women are affected. These ladies have shared with me and you all there stories, of being affected by this disease. My name is ReShekia Cooper, and September 11, 2010, is a day that I will never forget. That day is the day I decided that I was going to the emergency room to see why I was having really bad chest pains. I had been having them the entire month, but I kept putting it off. Once I got to the emergency room and got to the back, I had my blood drawn. When the results were back, the doctor came in and asked a couple of questions. He kept asking was I bleeding anywhere, and did I know how I was losing blood. After I kept saying no, he finally said that they were keeping me to run more tests. My doctor would come in everyday and say, “I don't get it; there's no way your blood is just disappearing.” My th
