Actually I can't complain. She is an excellent little baby! She eats good, she sleeps ALL the time, the only thing I have found she isn't fond of is cold wipes on her little bum.
I really am grateful she is such a sweet little lady cuz it has been a rough ride for Momma Bear (aka ME!)
I nursed both the boys. With the first it took a few weeks but we got it down and it was a good experience and we continued til he was 9 months. #2 was a rather painful experience BUT he refused a bottle so through the blood and tears we kept on clear til 8 months! Now with number 3 I thought I had things figured out.... apparently not. With in the first few hours of her life I realized it was going to be a painful thing and boy was I right! I will spare everyone the details (mainly for Russell's sake). I will just tell you this... I would rather give birth every day for the rest of this year than breast feed 1 more day.... I am not a cryer, and I was crying every time I fed or thought about feeding!
So, I decided to use the pump and see if that helped. Sure did! I thought "Yes, I can be normal again!" Then with little warning... BAM got hit with Mastitis! I was achy, shaky, fevery, migraney, and just not loving it.
Luckily I have a fantastic husband and great friends and family to help me out with the boys to get me through it and today I feel pretty darn good!
OK I will get to the good part now that I have bored you all with my sob story. Pictures of the little lady! At her 3 week apt. (well 2 week that turned into 3 weeks) she weighed 7 lbs and 8ounces and grew a few inches! 21".
