Bringing Harley Bell home on April 30 was one of the best and scariest days of our lives. I had been counting down the days until we'd be discharged from the NICU and imagining life at home with her for so long. The hospital was getting old, really old. I couldn't wait to bring my baby home, show her the nursery, to take her for walks, to watch TV with her while she slept on me, and to just be "normal". 

On Tuesday April 30th we waiting anxiously for the doctors and nurses to do their rounds. It had been 5 days since Harley had her last desaturation ( "desat" - oxygen levels are too low and not saturating the tissues enough). In the NICU babies needed to go 5 days without any desaturation episodes before they could be discharged to go home. This was our day! We signed all the discharge papers and took our baby girl home. 

The first few weeks at home came with a lot of emotions. During our time in the hospital and NICU I never really felt any baby blues. Perhaps this was because we were always surrounded by people, the adrenaline was always high and it really felt like we were doing the bare minimum to care for Harley. Bringing her home was scary. We found ourselves constantly checking that she was breathing and bought the Owlet sock monitor for her to wear at all times to ensure her oxygen levels were okay. In the first month at home she had about 8 "desats" during feedings and the alarm on her Owlet sock would go off blaring. It was scary and tense but we knew she'd outgrow it and she did. 

Being at home felt so quiet and strange! It felt a lot more lonely and I was nervous to leave the house with her for quite a few weeks. I remember sitting at home on May Long Weekend; it was a beautiful sunny day and as I scrolled through Instagram seeing everyone sitting out on patios with cold drinks I thought to myself "wow, this is life now." That was probably my most lonely and blue post-partum moment and I've been so fortunate not to have had any PPD. 

Fast forward five months and here we are now! We feel like ourselves again and the NICU trauma really does feel like a distant memory. Harley has no outstanding issues from her pre-mature birth and is fully healthy, praise God. She is amazing and we can't believe how much love she has brought to our family. She is energetic, bright, always smiling and always happy. She's not the greatest sleeper but she's just a baby right? Haha. She's also been almost exclusively breastfed up until this point which is now posing to be a bit of an issue when she needs to take a bottle for a sitter but we are working on it! She's amazing to travel with and so easy going. We've taken her to Portland, California and will be taking her to Mexico this winter. She loves people and anyone can hold her without a fuss. She's our everything.

Having a pre-mature baby this year was definitely not anything we could've prepared for. At the end of the day this is what kept us grounded: 

"God knew that Harley Bell was coming on March 15th, at only 31 weeks. We didn't know it but he always knew!" 

If you've been following along our journey, thank you. If you've sent loving messages, thank you. Miracles do happen.

Today is the start of July. That means, vacations, beaches, tanning, smoothies, running in the sun, yoga outdoors, hiking, cool cocktails and more - it is a time to celebrate!

But we were thinking, what makes the summertime so perfect for celebrating? Well, there’s one theme in the list we rattled off, which is the warm, sunny amazing weather. With environmental issues threatening the state of our planet’s traditional seasonal beauty, we’re dedicating our July to be plastic free!

We're challenging ourselves to rid our routines of plastic for the entire month of July. To make it easy to support this cause, we'll be sharing a plastic-free tips every day! Join us in our plastic free journey and tag us in your posts @goalma.org when you celebrate with a plastic-free pic.

The full month's tips are posted below. 

1. Bring a reusable cup EVERYWHERE. Wash it and have it with you at all times
2. Use reusable grocery bags when food shopping.
3. Say no to a bag if necessary (retail stores, convenient stores, to-go items)
4. Skip plastic utensils. Keep your own bamboo set with you at all times!
5. Bring your own produce bags to the market.
6. Pack your own lunch in glass and reusable containers.
7. Always have a reusable water bottle with you. A little preparation saves a lot of single use plastic.
8. Use sustainably packaged bar soap instead of liquid soap that comes in plastic.
9. Use shampoo bars.
10. Make your own cleaner out of water, vinegar, and essential oils. Stop buying harmful cleaners in plastic bottles.
11. Use bamboo toothbrushes instead of plastic.
12. Use a reusable razor instead of disposable.
13. Be a conscious consumer. Look for minimal or zero packaging on products like clothing and goods.
14. Opt for produce without any type of plastic packaging .
15. Make your own food.
16. Buy in bulk with reusable containers
17. If you have to buy a drink in a single use container, opt for glass, aluminum cans, or cardboard
18. If you are buying takeout, bring your own containers
19. Opt to purchase products with responsible packaging. For example, eggs can come in plastic or cardboard cases. Choose the Cardboard
20. K cups are convenient, but really wasteful. Buy a reusable pod and your favorite coffee!
21. Look for makeup, cosmetics, and skincare to come in glass or cardboard compacts
22. So many toys are plastic and will be quickly discarded. Look for toys made from wood or other materials. Less is also more. Don’t turn your kids into mini consumers
23. Upcycle things that you or your kids grow out of. There are so many websites and marketplaces to sell used goods instead of throwing them away
24. Look for used items before buying new. Slow the consumer cycle down and save yourself some money on those same sites
25. Repurpose, restore, and refurbish items. A lot of things that were once made out of solid materials are being replaced with flimsy plastic items that are not made to last. Older items were built to last and sometimes with a good sanding and paint are made to look better than new. Think old dressers, couches, chairs, and tables
26. Take inventory of your daily plastic use. Where can you cut back and eliminate? How can you be more mindful moving forward?
27. Skip the straw or bring your own stainless steel one
28. Use toothpaste tablets or powder in glass containers. Skip the tube
29. Buy bamboo diapers. Diapers are typically made out of plastic and will never biodegrade. Bamboo diapers are extra soft and will biodegrade
30. Be a conscious consumer. Anything with stretch has plastic and will never biodegrade. That’s right-anything that stretches. Fabrics made out of recycled plastics are great. Biodegradable fabrics made by responsibly sourced mills with closed production cycles are the one exception and that's why we use them in our eco-friendly activewear!

Le président  intérimaire du Mouvement national pour le changement au Tchad (Mnct), Ibrahim Abdraman Ahmat a fait une déclaration hier, 19 février à son domicile au  quartier Ridina dans le 5^e arrondissement en présence de plusieurs militants. Déclaration au cours de laquelle, il dissout les organes du parti.

Cette déclaration intervient un jour après le meeting avorté de l’ex-président du Mnct, Mahamat Ahmat Lazina. A l’entame de ses propos, le président intérimaire du Mnct, Ibrahim Abdraman Ahmat s’est réjoui du verdict de la Cour suprême qui, selon lui, permettra d’exercer les activités dans la légalité et en toute légitimité. « Notre parti a besoin d’un leader rassembleur, intègre, ayant un sens élevé de responsabilité pour sa gestion, plutôt qu’un agitateur qui girouette au gré des circonstances, sans vision politique. Nous ne donnerons aucune importance à un individu rongé par la mauvaise gouvernance de notre parti », a –t-il lâché.

Tout en saluant la confiance et les efforts des militants dans les démarches entreprises, Ibrahim Abdraman  Ahmat  a rassuré ceux-ci que le Mnct ne vivra plus les moments teintés de népotisme, de détournements des ressources du parti et d’exclusion.

En outre, il informe qu’après concertation avec le Bureau exécutif et le Comité directeur et conformément aux textes en vigueur, il est décidé de la structuration des organes de base. « Nous déclarons la dissolution de tous les organes du Mnct », a exprimé Ibrahim Abdraman  Ahmat pour qui, le parti engagera des consultations pour constituer un nouveau Comité et mettre en place les organes de base. Aussi, a –t-il annoncé la tenue, dans les prochains, d’un congrès extraordinaire qui désignera le président du parti et les autres membres du bureau exécutif. AC
