Today Xochitl is getting over her 1st little sickness and thank Ometeotl, because I hate watching her be uncomfortable and feeling like crappy, She seems to have caught a virus called Roseola, its a weird virus that caused a bad fever and now a rash, I love her so much and almost took her into the doctor but with the help of friends and a lot of research we hacked it out without a hospital visit. Her fever was as high as 103 on and off for 3 days, shitty.

I love when Russell wears Xochitl


Grandmas Rule






I just wish my mother was here

Daddy wearing Baby


Inuit Mama and babies




Breastfeeding Two babies is the most amazing trinity of energy, I hope that when I meet my 2nd child that Xochitl will be weaned, because this looks exhausting and beautiful

Inuit Mama



When I look at these pictures I am reminded that I am carrying on a tradition of complete attentiveness to my daughter that has been happening on every continent throughout all cultures since the beginning of time, and I am so happy for that. When I see a momma carrying her baby I see this......

I love Mamas from around the world




MY FAVORITE

Two Weeks Nursing



After about 2 weeks, Xochitl got a bad breakout of hormone pimples, but they went away after a week or so.

Nursing Modern MAMA




Xochitl latched on perfectly about 2 minutes after she was born and she has been there ever since, It as been a powerful connection to have with another human. She has been a strong nurser and very consistent, She has never had a bottle or a pacifier and has only ever had breast milk, On a rare occasion she would latch on to her daddy's finger but that is it.

Nursing can be a challenge




But the commitment to your babies health will pay off ten fold, The breast serves no greater purpose then to comfort and nourish a baby.

Giving Birth to Myself




It as if we are both babies discovering the world at the same time, I am humbled by this experience and I look forward to the things we will discover together, like twins...Sometimes I look at her and I see me, sometimes while I am nursing I look down to her and then I turn and look up to my mother.

Being a Mother




Being a Mother has changed me, changed me in ways I am still discovering. Not just my mind and my perspective but my entire energy and spiritual connection. For so many years I was looking to have a direct connection to my creator and for many years I felt I had found one but until now I had no idea just how much I am a part of the universal design, I am mother earth.

The profound connection




There is a profound connection between a mother and her child, it is emotional, physical, spiritual and mental, it teaches us so much about ourselves and about our lives. My love and connection with Xochitl is about hundreds of years of mothers and daughters coming together in one very special relationship. She heals my soul.

A Year Of Xochitl Mayahuel Lang

I had hopes of being able to blog about all the events of her 1st year, first everything, but It seems that I have just now after a year have had a moment to sit and begin to use the computer again, So rather than never getting back to it, I figured I would jump back in, I have so much to say and so little time to actually say it but I am going to try.
